Werkzeuge

Ersatzteile

Schritt 2

Heat up the back cover to soften the adhesive.
Place the suction cup to open a gap from top side, then insert guitar picks and slide it to cut the adhesive underneath.
Remove back cover.

Schritt 3

Twist off 10 Phillips screws all.
Loosen NFC clip and flashlight clip.

Schritt 4

Remove the plastic bracket.
Pry up and remove back frame.

Schritt 8

Release charging port connector.
Remove plastic protective bar.
Pry up motherboard assembly from this side. There are three flex connectors connecting the motherboard underneath. So pry up the motherboard assembly gently.

Schritt 9

Push audio jack out of the slot, no adhesive underneath.
Release LCD flex connector and main flex connector. Use a small flat tool to flip up the white edge of the connector to release tension on the end of the flex cable. Then the flex cable should slide out without any resistance.
Separate motherboard assembly from middle housing.

ATTENTION: At the edge of the board (top left beside the battery, see picture 3 in step 8) there are two small contact springs connected to an internal board layer (probably the antenna connection). When loosening the flex cables, these contacts can rub against the edge of the housing - in my case, they were torn off afterwards and lay loose on my work surface.

Schritt 10

Take away NFC antenna on battery.
Be aware that the NFC antenna is held by an adhesive and made of thin plastic. Remove it very carefully.

Schritt 11

Release battery connector.
Pull straight out on the black ends of the battery adhesive strips until they come off.
Pry up and remove battery.

Mark the position of the battery with a fine pencil, as the new battery must be placed exactly in the same position (tolerance: approx. 0.5 mm).

Schritt 12

Place the new battery adhesive strips on the motherboard
Press the new battery in place
Follow all the steps in reverse to reassemble your phone

As of Jan 2018, the battery adhesive strips are not in the parts list above. (Maybe they were at one time, but are no longer available?) I used some very small 3M Command hook adhesive strips instead.

As of Sep 2021, the battery adhesive strips are still not in the parts list. I also had to source my own battery adhesives in the middle of the repair.
