The Nokia 6170 is a flip-phone which has two screens; the main one on the inside, and a secondary screen on the outside for displaying various information without having to open the phone. My outer screen got broken when the phone was in my pocket.
I used a small flat-blade screwdriver to lever the case open. I didn't have a spudger at the time and the screwdriver left a few marks on the plastic case. It didn't bother me too much but if you're doing a similar repair and any kind of damage would upset you, get a spudger. In fact, get several; they're handy to have around.
Once inside, the screen connector just lifts up and the screen pops out. The new screen goes back in, and the job's done.
But for some reason the new screen now shows everything in negative (ie white-on-black instead of black-on-white, red instead of green, etc). No pic, unfortunately. There were some tiny sheets of plastic near the screen - I can't remember if they were on top or underneath - and they might have something to do with polarisation or something. I've been meaning to open it up again and do some experimentation but never got round to it.
