Hi guys,i write this guide because since i had my nokia 3310,at least after one month i ve disassembled my phones to have a look inside.When i ve searched for a service manual from acer or for a guide from a user,i could not find anything about acer s200,i ve searched the entire web,forum to forum,from chinese to any other language,so i ve taken some pictures by myself,and writed this tutorial to take apart the phone.

all you need:

a torx T5 screwdriver

a guitar plectrum or phone opening tool

a little philips head screwdriver (sorry for this one but i forgot to take the picture with it)

first step...start from removing the battery cover,and remove the battery,as you can see from the next picture in the red circles,there are 7 screws 5 torx and 2 philips head,remove all the screws,the sim card and the micro sd (the two philips head are in the side of battery bay)

next step is to remove this little plastic cover red marked,use the plectrum but be carefull,s200 material is not so good start from the bottom and gently slide

In the lower left position you can see a connector,this is the touch panel,you have to carefully detach this connector.You can see the position and the connector with the lcd panel detached in the red mark of the next picture

next step is to open the phone in two parts (the motherboard+lcd screeen,and the touch assembly),Start from the right middle side,its easier.Use the plectrum as in picture between metal shield and the plastic cover and gently make some pressure,slide the plectrum in all side to release the cover (this picture look strange and a little different from real, because i ve modified it with paint to look like the real action,i forgot to take picture and sorry no photoshop at home :D )

Now your phone should be like this divided in two parts:

you re ready to change screen,touch panel (like i do,the panel is attached to the cover with some tape,making some pressure will release it) or do evrything you want to do to the motherboard...Next pictures are taken in the process of changing touch panel

in the first picture you can see the touch panel i received,the other two let you see the difference betwen the panel i received over the original one.As you can see the acer logo in the first picture is not at the bottom center but at the upper right.In the next picture the touch keys are covered by white plastic in original panel (to better distribute light from led).In the next one you can see the camera hole on the right of the headphone hole,in the official one the hole is not present because the retail s200 doesn t came with a front camera...So if you buy it from ebay ask the seller if is the retail one,because mine is surely from the engineering sample,even if in the auction there is the picture of the retail one with original oem writed (like in mine,so i had to give seller negative feedback and ask paypal money back),or else the engineering sample one is a little less touch sensitive and you can see internal parts from the sensors holes (no smoked internal plastic).The next picture let you see the engineering sample

and here is the internal position of the front camera marked in yellow,as you can see all solder pads are present...

Ok i think it s a good guide,if you have some question i will try to answer here...

Sorry for my english but i m italian,if someone could correct me,will be mentioned in the guide

Bye :D
