Tutorial: Step by step

Step 1 Separate screen

In the lower part we will find two pentalobe screws TS1 (0.8mm) which we will remove.

To separate the screen, it will be advisable to have the right tool, otherwise we could break the flex cables of the screen. If we do not have the tool, it can be done with a normal suction cup or in the traditional way, prying at the edge of the screen.

Step 2

We remove the shields from the connectors and disconnect the screen.

Step 3 Remove shields

We remove the screws that hold the shields and the antenna contact to be able to remove them.

Step 4 Remove rear cameras

Now, we take out the armor, disconnect the cameras and remove them.

Step 5

We remove the screw that holds the upper antenna and remove it. Then we disconnected the button flex, the flex load, the battery and the coaxial cables.

Step 6 Removing the motherboard

To remove the screws from the plate, we can use a flat screwdriver. We also remove the SIM tray and we can undo the plate.

Step 7 Remove components

We remove the upper shield and then the battery. To do this, we first remove the haptic motor so that the adhesive strips do not break when we remove them.

Step 8

Remove the screws and undo the chassis buttons

Step 9 Flex buttons, microphone and flash

It only remains to take off the flex to be able to remove it.
