In this repair guide, we show you how to replace your OnePlus 6 defective headphone jack on your own. You need this repair if you can’t hear any sound through your headphones anymore or your headset microphone stops working.The repair is somewhat more difficult because the OnePlus 6 has to be opened via the glass back cover.
Step 1
– Hold down that power button until you see ‘Turn off’. Easy peasy!
– Tap it again to confirm. You’re doing great!
Step 2
– Warm up the area where you’re going to start. A little heat goes a long way!
– Gently slide a flat tool between the back cover and the frame. You’re doing great!
Hey there! Just a friendly reminder to handle that back cover with care—it’s a bit fragile! If it’s giving you a hard time, don’t hesitate to warm it up a few times and give it another go. Remember, taking your time is key; it might take around half an hour, but being patient will help you avoid any mishaps. You’ve got this!
Some tools are made of plastic so they won’t scratch your slick device. On the other hand, these tools can be soft and it may be difficult to insert. If you’re having trouble, schedule a repair!
