Einleitung

Replacement of the motherboard requires removal of a few other components first. See the prerequisite guides before attempting just the motherboard.

Werkzeuge

Schritt 1

Heat the iOpeners in a microwave for 1-2 minutes.
The iOpeners will be hot. Use caution and hold the tabs on the ends.
Place heated iOpeners on screen edges to heat the adhesive.
For more detailed instructions on how to use the iOpeners, please refer to the iOpener Instructions.

Do not remove the screen if you’re replacing the battery, much easier to heat up and pry off the back. Plus no chance of damaging your screen.

Schritt 2

Separate the screen assembly from the back by wedging the picks between the two components.
Slide the picks along the edge and leave them holding the device open all around the edges.

Schritt 3

Place suctioning device near the corner of the screen and gently lift up to create a gap between the front panel assembly and the back.
Insert the picks to hold the two components apart once a gap is created.

I irreversibly damaged screen by following this guide. There are connector tapes at the edge of the screen and one of them was damaged by inserting and sliding the picks when lifting the screen. Too bad that author didn't mention to be careful when dealing with edges

Schritt 4

Once all edges have been disconnected, carefully lift the screen off by pulling one side up.
Be careful not to cut yourself. Any broken glass from the screen will be sharp.

Schritt 5

Using the tweezers, gently peel up on the silver tape covering the connector.

Schritt 6

Use the plastic opening tool to get under the connector piece. This will allow you to remove the front panel assembly from the rest of the device.

Schritt 7

Detach the connecter from the inside of the device.
Lift the screen to separate the front panel assembly from the rest of the device.

Schritt 8

Remove the 17 silver 3.0 mm Phillips head screws located around the edge of the device using the screwdriver.
For additional information on how to remove screws, please refer to Screwdriver Best Practices.

Schritt 9

Remove the 2 centrally-located black 3.0 mm Phillips head screws using the screwdriver.

Schritt 10

Use the plastic opening tools to gently separate the middle panel from the rest of the device.
Move the tool around under the edges until you can remove the panel by hand.
Popping/cracking noises are completely normal. These are the sounds of the panel separating from the rest of the device.

Make sure the SIM trays are removed first. Otherwise the connector comes off the board.

Schritt 19

Using the tweezers, gently pull the cable off of the motherboard.

Schritt 20

Carefully lift the top portion of the motherboard off of the back panel with your hands.

Schritt 21

Using the tweezers, wiggle under the lower motherboard to remove adhesive.
Carefully grab the adhesives with the tweezers and lift up.

Schritt 22

Gently lift up the lower motherboard.
Keep the two portions of the motherboard together. If the connecting cable is damaged, it could further ruin the condition of the board.
