Tools You Will Need:
- Heat gun
- Suction cup tool
- Spudger
- Phillips 00 screwdriver
- Tweezer
- Metal prying tool
Step 1:
Power off your phone and remove the SIM card tray
Step 2:
Remove the back panel, using a heating gun to carefully loosen the adhesive.
Step 3:
Generate a gap between the back panel and the rest of the body with the help of suction cup tool. Insert a thin metal prying tool into the gap to help cut away the adhesive. This process takes a bit of time and you will want to move carefully so as not to damage the back glass.
Step 4:
Once the back panel is off, unscrew the 18 Phillips screws to remove the back part from the mid-frame of the phone.
Step 5:
Disconnect the motherboard connections, including the LCD display connector, touch screen digitizer connector, proximity sensor, battery connector and ear speaker connector.
Step 6:
Release the connector beneath the motherboard and disconnect the two cables on the motherboard. After disconnecting all the connections, carefully remove the motherboard with tweezers.
Step 7:
With the help of a nylon spudger, carefully remove the battery. Note: the battery is held in place with adhesive and may require a little extra effort to remove. You can also use the heat gun for a few seconds to help loosen the adhesive.
Step 8:
Remove the components from the front housing, including the ear speaker, vibrating motor and sensor. Note: The ear speaker flex cable is fragile; handle it carefully to avoid causing any damage.
Step 9:
Remove the microphone from the top of the logic board and remove the rear-facing camera.
Step 10:
Heat the LCD assembly using the heat gun to release the front housing. Note: this can be a tedious process. Stick with it and be patient.
Step 11:
The final step is using fresh adhesive to secure the new screen and placing all the components back into the phone in reverse order.
