Introduction
This guide shows how to replace the motherboard of the LG Phoenix 2, model LG-K371. A motherboard replacement may be necessary if the phone is not working, is badly damaged, or running very poorly. A motherboard replacement may also be needed if the charge port has worn out and you do not want to solder.
What you need
Step 1

- Place a fingernail in the notch at the bottom edge of the phone.
- Pull on the back cover with one hand while keeping the rest of the phone steady, and run your fingernail along the edge.
