Introduction

Always test the phone using cables that you know work to ensure that the charging cable itself isn’t the issue. Also, consider that the battery may be faulty. Poor charging can be caused by many things so be sure to check out the OnePlus 6 Troubleshooting page before completing this replacement guide.

The first step in this guide requires the removal of the back panel of the phone, which is usually made of glass so be careful not to shatter it.

Before completing this guide make sure that the phone is powered off and that there are no power sources connected to it.

What you need

Step 1

              Back Panel
  • Turn on the heat gun to a low heat and and gently heat the curved edges on the back of the phone.
  • Be careful not to overheat or melt the plastic; heat guns can get out of hand quickly!
  • Wedge the opening picks between the front and back panel and slide them around the perimeter to break the adhesive securing the back cover.
  • Repeat until the back panel is fully released.

Helpful guide! However, there are some steps missing. Between step 7 and 9, the daughter board needs to be lifted up to make room to remove the charging port. It doesn’t have to be fully removed, and it is held in place with some adhesive. Also, the charging port connects to the main-board, and that is held down by a plastic shield. Some screws will need to be removed. Once the plastic shield is removed, the charging port can be unplugged from the main-board and fully removed.
