Step 2 Remove back cover

We will start by removing the back cover. To do this we will use a spike, which we will move along the contour of the phone to release the notches that hold it.

We will move the tine carefully so as not to damage the plastic tabs of the lid.

Step 3 Baseboard housing

To remove this case, first remove the eight 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 will disconnect the flex from the digitizer that also covers the flex of the front camera which we will also disconnect.

Before moving on to the next step, we will disconnect the rear camera.

Step 5 Disconnect components

In this step we disconnect the flex from the display, the flex from the connection of the auxiliary board to the base plate, the battery and the coaxial antenna cable. Then we will remove the two Phillips screws (PH # 00) that hold the plate to the chassis.

Step 6 Remove SIM and SD trays

Before removing the motherboard, we will have to remove the trays for SIM and SD cards.

Step 7 Motherboard

In order to get to the vibrator, first we have to disengage the motherboard. Afterwards, we only have to take off the chassis vibrator.
