Welcome to Mobile Gadget News!! Your English is actually very good!

I've never opened my 200, so I don't know first hand where it is on this particular phone. But, I have opened my 220 and it was located in the top part of the flip underneath the PCB in the upper right corner. There was a defined place in the plastic where the magnet was supposed to sit. When you pulled the PCB up and out of place, the magnet would stick to the back of the board. I used a tweazer to grab it and put it back in it's well, then slid the tweazer off the magnet being VERY careful not to touch anything else in the process.

Check here for info on how to take your 200 apart. I believe the magnet is the little yellow rectangle that can be specifically seen in this photo:


Good luck!
