Step 2 Back case

To remove the back cover we will use a plastic tool, this way we will avoid damage to the phone.

Step 3 Battery

We can use the same tool to help us remove the battery.

Step 4 Sim and microSD cards

We will remove the SIM and micro SD cards by pulling them. If necessary we can use tweezers or another tool.

Step 5 Housing screws

It may seem angry, but deep down our monster ... he likes us to take pictures! While holding the phone, we show you where the screws are.

In the second photo we can see that a sticker covers one of the screws. That does not happen to you!

In any case, we still can not remove the inner shell. There is another hidden screw that will force us to remove the lower cover.

Step 6

To remove the lower cover we will remove the screws from the bottom of the mobile. This will reveal the last screw of the inner casing.

Step 7 Intermediate housing

We will use a fine tool. Carefully we will pry into the notches that hold the housing.

Step 8 base plate screws

The motherboard can not be removed completely without desoldering the volume buttons. We will avoid desoldering them whenever possible.

We will disconnect the flex from the touch screen of the plate, previously lifting the fastening tab.

We will also remove the adhesive that covers one of the screws on the plate.

Step 9

Now we just have to disengage the power button and remove the chassis vibrator to lift the plate, but not quite. Before lifting it, we recommend to see the next step.

Step 10

In this step we show you two connectors. One we show how to disconnect it easily. The other, the one below in the image, in case it does not disconnect only when lifting the plate, we can disconnect it before any other connector. Although with the plate put in its place can hardly be seen, you can access it with some tool.

Step 11 Adhesive

We remove the adhesive that covers the flex that goes from the lower plate to the base plate.

Step 12 Bottom plate

We remove the screws of the lower module with loudspeaker and antenna. It is not necessary to desolder it for this step.

Remove the adhesive that covers one of the screws of the lower plate and remove the screws.

Step 13 Bottom plate flex

We take off the flex and disconnect it from the motherboard.

Step 14 Volume and chassis buttons

Desoldamos the flex of the base plate to be able to remove this. If we have followed all the steps we should already have the chassis with nothing but the volume buttons.
