Introduction

What you need

Step 1

              Charger Port

Use a plastic opening tool to pry open your phone case. Flip the phone over and start by sliding your tool between the two sides of your phone case. Work the tool towards the bottom of the phone case, gently prying the case open. There is a clip that will pop open after applying gentle but consistent pressure.
Make sure to release the clip on the top left corner of the phone case carefully. This is usually the most difficult clip to release.

Step 3

There is a clip on the upper left side of the upper panel. Use the plastic opening tool to pry the clip off of the phone.

There are ribbons that need to be removed as well. Be sure to carefully pry them off of the board

Cresny - Sep 1, 2019

The adhesive holding my battery was a big pain to get through, definitely go slow and carefully so you don’t damage the battery.

Greta Schmidt - Mar 11, 2020

Agree with Cresny on the adhesive. So strong in my case, and it required patience and steady, medium pressure to get it to release.

No special screw head sizes were needed to remove all 12 screws. I used the very typical Phillips 00 that people use on teeny electronics screws and it worked great. Take your time, pay attention and look at all attachments so you don’t miss any!

This is the only phone I had to do a soft reset on after changing the battery. If you don’t get beyond the LG logo screen when you test it before putting it back together, hold the Power button and Volume Down button down together for 10–12 seconds until you see the logo appear.
