Tutorial: Step by step

Step 1 Handset

We start by removing the back cover. To do this, we will heat it to soften the adhesive and thus detach it more easily.

Step 2 Remove internal casing

Disconnect the fingerprint reader and remove the ten Phillips screws (PH # 00) that hold the inner case to be able to disengage it.

Step 3 Disconnect components

In this step we remove the handset and disconnect the coaxial cables, the front cameras, the interconnection flex, the battery, the proximity sensor and the flex of the screen.

Step 4 Removing the motherboard

Remove the two Phillips screws (PH # 00) that hold the plate and also the SIM / SD tray. Now we can undo the motherboard.

Step 5 Proximity sensor

All that remains is to disengage the sensor from the chassis.
