Lifting the PCB on the left side

NOTE: You have to bend the plastic case a bit outwards until the headphone jack on the left side of the device becomes loose

This shows:

  • At the top on a green board, the bluetooth module, and the square bluetooth antenna.
  • The headset jack is to the right of this.
    • Immediately below the headset jack is the battery connector.
    • Below the battery connector, the two gold pads feed the vibrator motor.
  • To the right of the headset jack is the left speaker connector.

On the other side of the PCB, going from bottom-right corner down-left.

  • The small circular connector is the GSM connector to which the ariel connects.
  • To the left of this is the right speaker connector.
  • One of the button switches.
  • USB port.
  • Micro-SD slot
  • SIM slot - overlaying the Micro-SD slot when present.
  • Gold GSM antenna connector. (or is this GPS?)
    • Immediately above this with the grey wire connection is the connection to the built in GPS antenna.

On the case,

Empty case frame
