Duration: 45 minutes
Steps: 5 Steps
Yo, don’t sweat it! You’ve got this. Grab a JIS size 00 screwdriver and a prying tool, ’cause replacing that vibe motor is a breeze, dude. Be sure to keep those tiny screws from your phone safe so they don’t go AWOL when you’re swapping ’em out.
Step 1
– Gently use your fingernail to pry off the phone’s back cover at the indicated spot. Once your fingernail is under the cover, slide it around the phone’s edges until the cover pops off.
Step 2
The black screw near the camera and flash is hiding under a sticker, but don’t let that fool you—it’s a breeze to remove. Just poke your screwdriver through the sticker like it’s not even there, and you’re good to go!
– Alright, let’s start by loosening those screws. We’ve got thirteen black ones and a single silver one, all on the back of the phone. You’ll need a JIS size 00 screwdriver for this. It’s just like removing a tiny, tiny puzzle piece.
– The black screws are 2.8 mm long, so not too much effort needed there!
– The silver screw is a bit longer, clocking in at 5.5 mm. But we’re on our way to fixing this phone!
Step 3
Those inner backing parts, stuck down with double-sided tape? No sweat! Just slip your plastic opening tool under there and gently lift it up. You’ll be feeling like a pro in no time.
– Grab a trusty plastic opening tool and gently pry off the inner phone backing. You’ve got this!
Step 4
Remember where the speaker unit goes! This will make it a breeze to pop it back in during reassembly.
– Pop that speaker right out from the back of your phone! Once you’ve removed the inner back, it should slide out effortlessly since it’s no longer being held in place. You’ve got this!
Step 5
– Plug in the new vibration motor, and then put your device back together by reversing the steps you just took. It’s like a puzzle, but backwards!
– If you didn’t finish this guide, that’s okay! We get it, sometimes things happen.
–
Success!
