Step 2 Remove back cover

We will start by removing the back cover, it may seem that it does not, but it has a lid. For this we will use an opening tool, which we will move along the contour of the phone to release the notches that hold it.

Step 3 Remove intermediate housing

To remove this case, first remove the ten Phillips screws (PH # 00) that hold it to the chassis. Once the screws are removed, we will use a flat tool to release it.

Step 4 Disconnect components

In this step we begin to disconnect the components to be able to remove the base plate later. We disconnect the cameras, the flex of the digitizer, the flex of the display, the connection cable of the auxiliary board with the motherboard and the battery

Step 5 Remove screws and trays

Now, to remove the motherboard, first remove the two Phillips screws (PH # 00) that hold it. Before removing the motherboard, we will have to remove the trays for SIM and SD cards.

Step 6 Remove base plate and shield

Now we can undo the motherboard.

When we remove it we will find a shield that covers the headset and that also makes contacts for it. We will remove the screw that holds it and take it off to access the handset.

Step 7 Handset

To finish, we only have to undo the headset of the chassis.
