    • Discharge your battery to 25% or lower and power off your phone before you begin.

    • Heat an iOpener and apply it to the edge of the back cover with the SIM card slot for two minutes.

    • A hair dryer or heat gun may also be used, but be careful not to overheat the phone—the display and internal battery are both susceptible to heat damage.

    • Use the point of a spudger to pry up the battery's press connector.

    • When you disconnect connectors like these, be careful not to dislodge the small surface-mounted components surrounding the socket.

    • To re-attach press connectors, carefully align and press down on one side until it clicks into place, then repeat on the other side. Don't press down on the middle. If the connector is misaligned, the pins can bend, causing permanent damage.

    • Use the point of your spudger to pry and disconnect the white antenna cable.

    • Pry on only the metal head of the connector. Avoid lifting the cable itself as much as possible.

    • Free the cable from the clip in the top-right of the daughterboard.

    • During reassembly, these can be tricky to reconnect. Hold the connector in place over its socket and press down with the flat end of a spudger. The connector should snap into place.

    • During reassembly, be sure to secure the cable to the clip in the daughterboard.

    • The vibration motor cable is strongly adhered to the frame. Before attempting to peel it, follow this step to weaken the adhesive securing it.

    • Apply highly-concentrated isopropyl alcohol (over 90%) to the flex cable.

    • Alternatively, use a heated iOpener, hair dryer, or heat gun to soften the adhesive.

    • Use caution to not overheat the battery or surrounding components.

    • While you wait for the adhesive to soften, remove the vibration motor from its recess:

    • Insert the point of your spudger between the motor counterweight and the frame.

    • Pry the motor out of its recess and flip it to the right.

    • The vibration motor's flex cable is very fragile. Work slowly to prevent tearing the cable.

    • With blunt nose tweezers, grab the base of the flex cable as close to the frame as possible.

    • Slowly and steadily peel the cable from the frame.

    • If the cable feels stuck or re-adheres, apply more isopropyl alcohol or heat.

    • Remove the vibration motor from the frame.

    • Apply new adhesive to your vibration motor before installing it in the frame.

Abschluss

Compare your new replacement part to the original part—you may need to transfer remaining components or remove adhesive backings from the new part before you install it.

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order. Apply new adhesive where necessary after cleaning the relevant areas with isopropyl alcohol (>90%).

Take your e-waste to an R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler.
