Step 1

              Remove sim card and memory holder
  • Place phone on a suitable surface. You’ll be working on the back, so protect the screen (unless you’re replacing it).
  • Start by removing the sim card and memory chip holder.

Step 2

              Remove back cover
  • Now you want to remove the back cover. You can do this by sliding a thin plastic pry round the edges between the cover and the screen. The cover will click off as you work your way round it.
  • Don’t pull the cover once it’s coming free. The “M” symbol (fingerprint scanner) is glued to the cover so if you yank it, it’ll snap and you’ll break it.
  • Once the cover is free, gently heat round the “M” sensor and it will loosen the glue. Lightly press on the M and it will pop off. Once that’s happened, you can remove the back cover.

Step 3

              Remove PCB covers
  • There are two PCB covers, one at the bottom and one at the top.
  • These are held in place with Torx screws and are ridiculously fiddly. Remove all the screws (note that there is a screw below the finger print sensor)
  • Once the screws are removed, you should be able to pry the covers off the two PCBs.

  • Put the sensor to one side

Step 5

              Remove other connectors
  • There are 3 connectors on the main board. Remove all these
  • Battery connector
  • Screen connector
  • Interboard connector

Step 6

              Removing the battery
  • Removing the battery is tough. It’s glued into the casing and you’ll have to lever it out.
  • Use something that is reasonably broad to start levering the battery out. It’ll probably bend as you do this (it can be flattened again after removal).
  • Continue to lever it out. Eventually you’ll get through all the glue and the battery will pop out.
