Hey there tech whiz! Ready to tackle your phone repair like a pro? Get pumped to uninstall and swap out that motherboard. Once that’s done, you’ll have access to the front camera, power button, and volume button. You’ve got this!
Step 1
– Use your fingernail or a plastic opening tool to gently nudge the pivot on the SIM tray’s side.
– Pop that tray out of its socket with a little pry. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair.
Step 3
Grab your iOpener and give it a thirty-second nuke in the microwave.
– Warm up the front face (sides, top, bottom) of your phone using an iOpener, hair dryer, or heat gun for about 60 seconds. This will help loosen the adhesive that’s holding that glass in place. You’ve got this!

Step 4
– Pop a suction cup right onto the lower half of your screen, and let’s get this party started!
Step 5
Be gentle with that display! Yanking too hard could lead to a break. If you feel any resistance, just give it another go by letting the iOpener chill a bit longer.
– Grab that suction cup and give a gentle tug on the bottom half of the panel, just enough to make it pop!
Tools Used
Step 6
– Once you’ve created a nice little opening, slide a plastic tool in at the bottom, right between the glass and the phone’s frame.
– Gently glide that plastic opening tool around the screen, coaxing the display away from the body with care.
Step 7
Gently lift the lower part of the screen. It’s kind of like a delicate dance move, connected with a clip to the top of the motherboard. Just remember, a gentle lift is the way to go – no sudden moves here or it might decide to take a break from the motherboard party!
– Gently tug the lower half of the screen with the suction cup while steadying the phone frame. This will separate the two parts. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair
Step 8
– Once you’ve gently removed the glass, you’ll spot a tiny clip guarding the screen’s connection to the motherboard up high on the phone. Snag the clip with tweezers at the fold on its side and pull it out with confidence.
Step 11
– Grab your trusty Phillips Head Screwdriver, PH000 size, and carefully unscrew the sixteen 4mm screws holding the frame. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair
Step 12
You’ll notice the clips starting to pop open on their own.
– Gently press down on the top, bottom, and sides of your phone to help loosen the rear case.
Step 13
– Once all those clips have popped, gently pull off the rear case to reveal the battery frame.
– You’ll find the battery on the backside of this frame. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair.
Step 14
– Gently slide a plastic opening tool into the frame’s edge and carefully pop the battery out. Remember, patience is key and you’ve got this!
Step 16
Alright, time to roll up your sleeves! We’ve got three connections to unplug.
– Grab a trusty plastic tool and carefully pop off all the connections on the motherboard. You’ve got this!
Step 17
– Slide the flat end of the spudger under the motherboard and give it a twist to lift the board.
