Ready to dive into the world of motherboard removal? This guide will walk you through the safe extraction of your device’s motherboard—it’s a breeze once you get the front screen and the plate underneath off! Just a heads up: if you’re planning to swap out the motherboard, you’ll need to take the screen off first. Since this is a waterproof phone, there’s a good chance the screen might not survive the extraction. So, gear up and be ready to replace the screen too! If you need help, you can always schedule a repair.
Step 1
– Time to give your phone a little makeover! Pop the back casing off using the handy notch at the top.
Step 2
Be careful with the battery—bumping it could lead to a big mess or even a little ouch!
– Get ready to lift up the battery using a plastic spudger or fingernail with a smile on your face.
Step 3
– Grab your plastic opening tool or spudger, and carefully lift the screen once the adhesive is soft.
– Since this phone is water-resistant, you’ll need to break the screen to take it apart.
Choosing the right tool is crucial when working with electronics. Always opt for an ESD-safe tool to avoid accidental damage. If you need some serious prying power, the metal spudger is your go-to. However, whenever possible, stick to the regular black nylon spudger or a plastic opening tool. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair.
