use the instructions on franks site at
<http://www.pda-soft.de/en/hardware/emate/disassembly/disassembly.html>
soldering is onle involved in releasing the speaker wires and backlight wires fro surface solder pads. A quick touch of iron should be all thats necessary. Reattachment usually doesn't require additional solder, but I prefer silver bearing solder for lower melt temperature.

good luck
