Here's my partial disassembly. It'll only help you to the point where you detach the screen from the base. I only wanted to fix the USB port, the screen was fine on my N900, didn't need to take it apart.

Before you start working on the screen itself, make sure whenever you tighten screws that they are going in straight. If you crossthread them or if you overtorque them, they'll snap off. Remember, this is a cellphone not a car drive shaft.
Here's a clip of a complete disassembly:

The L1 service manual have detailed disassembly instructions.

I dropped my device from about 5ft(ish) and now the backlight doesn't light up. Everything else is working fine, i.e touchscreen etc. I can still just about see the what's going on on the screen but there is no light on the screen itself. The keyboard light is still functioning too. I think i've probably just knocked a connection lose somewhere. Im reluctant to take it in to a Care Centre simply because I've only just had to fork out 80notes to get my LCD replaced after I cracked it (Not having the best run of luck!)
I'm going to take it apart this afternoon once i've got the right torque driver. Can anyone give me any help as to what i should be looking for?
Cheers
