Teardown

Introduction

This is how I took apart my MP02, note that there might be better ways and you do it at your own risk (I broke the frame of the phone while taking it apart).

Also I might have missed to describe a step, screw or connector that needs to be removed, if you notice anything reach out or make the edit.

This teardown is not a repair guide. To repair your Punkt MP02, use our service manual.

Step 1 Remove Sim card tray

Remove Sim tray

Edit

Step 2

Using a knife start prying at the back in the top right corner. Then use a metal spudger to remove the back piece.
The back piece is held in place with a (not so strong) sticker and some hooks (see second picture for a side view of the hooks).

Edit

Step 3

Remove two screws.
in my case one of the screws was covered by a small white sticker

Step 4

using a metal spudger I started separating the two halves of the phone shell on the right of the USB port.
by carefully inserting and twisting the spudger I could unclip the two halves to separate them
be careful not to insert the spudger too deep, you could damage the mainboard or battery
as I wasn't careful enough, the frame broke in two places

Edit

Step 5

now remove the back half
I looks like the back contains come antennas and a speaker

Edit

Step 6

now remove the spongy piece that sits ontop of the USB port
at this stage I noticed a screw falling on my table and the screw to the right of the USB port was missing
I also noticed the screw to the left being loose

Edit

Step 7

Now remove eight screws and the power button

Edit

Step 8

I unplugged the two antenna cables
unplug the battery connector

Edit

Step 9

now I opened the clips that hold the ribbon cables

Edit

Step 10

at this point the device felt loose and I didn't know how to continue - I noticed after beginning to pull on the battery pull tabs that the mainboard separated

Edit

Step 11

by gently moving the mainboard down (direction of USB port) the mainboard could be separated
notice the metal hook that prevents the device from being separated without downwards movement
