Disassembling my BlackBerry Bold

My BlackBerry Bold suffered some minor “wear and tear” over the weekend which caused some of the buttons on the keyboard to become sticky. So what did I do? I watched the handy video below on how to disassemble a BlackBerry Bold and cleaned the unit on my own rather than sending it in for repair/replacement.

I love that practically every single part of a BlackBerry is user-replaceable. If I broke anything other than the main chip board on the Bold, I could easily buy the part to replace it and open my device back up again to get it working.

Here are some close-up images of the cleaning process.
