How To Replace Google Nexus 5 Screen Guide

– Slide that hard plastic pick into the little gap next to the volume button. You’ve got 18 retaining clips to disconnect around the back cover, so let’s get to it! Glide the pick all the way around your smartphone, starting from the volume button, past the headphone jack, and right up to the SIM card tray. That’s where it gets a bit easier to pop off the back cover. Just remember, you might need to apply a tad more force in some spots.

– Once you’ve done that, go ahead and lift off the back cover!

– Alright, let’s get that Google Nexus 5 powered down! Just hold the standby button for about two seconds and follow the on-screen prompt to turn it off.

– Next up, grab your trusty Phillips screwdriver and remove those 4 screws holding the speaker in place (check out figure 1 for a visual guide). We’re talking about 4 x 4.0 mm Phillips screws here!

– Now, it’s time to bring in the spudger! Gently slide it next to the USB connector input (figure 2 will help you out) and lift the speaker right out. Easy peasy!

– Remove the 6 Phillips screws that hold the plastic cover in place (see figure 1).6 x 4.0 mm Phillips screws

– Now lift the cover off the logic board by inserting the spudger into the gap next to the headphone output (see figure 2). If necessary, use other leverage points.

– Grab your trusty SIM Tool or a good old paperclip to pop that SIM card tray out. Just press the Tool gently into the tiny hole on the tray and watch it slide right out!

– The headphone jack is snugly nestled in that plastic frame. Gently slide the pointed tip of your spudger into the jack and carefully coax it out. With a little love, it will pop right out!

– The earpiece is also only slightly stuck in the plastic frame. Use the pointed tip of the spudger and carefully lift the earpiece on the side.

– Time to gently lift the logic board with your trusty spudger! Grab it and slide the flat end under the GPS antenna’s contacts. Give it a little lift and then carefully pop it off with your hands. You’re doing great!

– Time to say goodbye to that rear camera! Gently slide the flat end of the spudger underneath the camera that’s been stuck there like a stubborn sticker.

– Now, give it a little lift and watch it pop out!

– Grab your tweezers or use your fingers to gently lift the camera at the connector. It’s still stuck to the plastic frame above with a sneaky adhesive strip, but don’t worry! The end of that strip is cleverly hidden beneath a rubber coating that’s super easy to lift.

– Next up, say goodbye to the front camera. You’ve got this!

– Slide the spudger gently under the USB connector cable and give it a little nudge to pop it off the base (check out figures 1 and 2 for a visual!). It’s just a bit sticky, so no worries.

– Now, with a steady hand, lift it off carefully.

– First things first, let’s get that battery out! Slide the flat end of your trusty spudger right under the battery and gently pry it away from the plastic frame. It’s just a little stuck with some light glue, so take your time and work your way to the end.

– Now, go ahead and remove the battery!

– Yo, transfer the rubber coating to the front camera and any other homies that need it.

– Peel the plastic wrap off the new screen’s sticky strips like a boss.
