Cleaning Nokia 6021
For about eighteen months, dust has been gathering over my work phone Nokia 6021’s screen. I’ve tried several times earlier, but the front cover refused to budge. This is a company provided unit, and the last thing I’d want to do was damage it.
Today, the screen looked like I couldn’t read it anymore. Fed-up with being unable to clean it—and no mention of howto in the manual, I searched for 6021+dust. Unsurprisingly, it appears I’m not the only one having this problem.
So, in simple steps, here’s how you do it.

- Power off, open the back cover, and the battery—to be safe.
- Now, try taking the front cover off by lifting and pushing up—starting at the bottom of the phone, close to the connector.
- The front-cover seems to come off at the bottom, but feels like it’s stuck in the middle. Using your nails, try easing it out of its sockets.
- Clean the screen, and keypad. Then put the front-cover back, load the battery and then close the rear-cover.
And you’re done.
