Tutorial: Step by step

Step 1 Take off screen

We started by heating the screen at about 70 ° C for about a minute to soften the adhesive.

With the hot screen, we introduce a prong or other opening tool between it and the frame. Sliding it around the contour will get it off.

Step 2 Disconnect screen

We remove the covers that cover the contacts where the flexes of the screen are connected to disconnect them and be able to remove it.

Step 3 Remove intermediate housing

Remove the eleven Phillips screws that hold the intermediate casing and disengage it.

Step 4 Removing the motherboard

We disconnect the components of the motherboard and remove the SIM / SD tray.

Now we can undo the chassis plate.

Step 5 Side pressure sensors

Remove the support of the side buttons. After that, all that remains is to detach the sensors from the chassis.
