Step 2 Back cover

We will start by removing the back cover that is attached to the intermediate housing. For this we will apply some heat to soften the glue.

Using a suction cup we can separate the lid a little to introduce the tool more easily. Sliding the spike around the contour we will take off the lid.

Step 3 Screws and SIM tray

To remove the intermediate housing we will have to remove the thirteen Phillips screws (PH # 0) and the tray of the SIM card.

Step 4 Intermediate housing

After removing the screws and the tray, removing the casing will be simple. Using an opening tool, we will release the hooks that attach it to the chassis.

Step 5 Disconnect components

To remove the motherboard first we will have to disconnect all the components connected to it. We will disconnect the headset with microphone and sensor, the battery, the camera and the flex of the screen. In the lower part we disconnect the coaxial cables and the flex of the home button.

Step 6 Removing the motherboard

To remove the base plate, first disconnect it from the bottom plate by lifting it as shown in the first two images. Now it only remains to discard it with care.

Step 7 Vibrator

After removing the base plate we will have access to the vibrator. We'll just have to take it off to be able to remove it.
