Einleitung

This car contains the charging port, headphone jack, and rear speaker.

The easiest way to replace any of the components on this board is to simply replace the entire board. Otherwise, you would have to desolder the faulty component and solder in a new one.

This replacement can be done without removing the battery, but due to the nature of the parts being replaced, it is highly recommended that the battery is removed before attempting this replacement.

    • Pull the tray out with your fingers .

    • Remove the SIM card.

    The tray is the part I require. Is there a part or place I can get to.

    • Remove the one T2 screw from the side of the phone near where the SIM card tray was.

    This step is not at all necessary. Just skip it, it will make no difference.

    It is smaller than T2, none of my 3 ifixit kits would fit it.

    • Insert a plastic opening tool into the space where the SIM card tray used to be.

    • Gently pry the back away form the phone frame until you hear and audible click of the back separating.

    To be clear, the silver “rim” does not separate from the black portion of the frame that extends around the back and sides and covers both logic boards; this is all one single piece.

    Be extra careful of the area near he power button, where the trim is thin and delicate and may break easily (especially if you’re trying to separate the silver from the black ;)

    • Insert the plastic opening tool into the space you created between the phone back and frame.

    • Slide the plastic opening tool along the outside of the phone, underneath the back, to separate the rest of the clips holding the back onto the frame.

    • Rotate the back over to the side, being careful not to damage the fingerprint sensor ribbon cable.

    • Use a plastic opening tool to separate the fingerprint sensor from the back of the phone.

    • On reassembly, add a piece of simple scotch tape to hold the fingerprint sensor to the phone back.

    • Set the phone back aside.

    if you leave the finger print scanner you can remove the screws and snap the back plate back on then once the second plastic frame is removed you can then disconnect the other end of the cable

    • Remove the 6 silver 2.9mm screws from the back of the phone with a JIS #000 bit.

    • Remove the 11 black 3.5mm screws with the same JIS #000 bit.

    • Turn the phone back over, with the screen down.

    • Lift the trim piece off of the phone and set aside.

    There is metal mesh tape covering the area in the center, just above the battery, to the right of the fingerprint sensor cable connector. Remove this tape to expose a clip that holds the frame in place.

    • Use a plastic opening tool, spudger, or opening pick to separate the bottom edge of the card away from the phone.

    • Lift the bottom edge of the card high enough that you can grab it with your fingers, and simply remove it from the phone.

    Corners may have adhesive. Force may be required to pry the board up. Don’t be scared.

    Michael Madden -

    Is the microphone located on the board?

Thanks! $7 part on ebay & this guide saved me from having to buy a new phone!!!

Isabelle Cavender -

Is there anything special about reassembly one should be aware of? I have read that side buttons are an issue. Tips for reassembly, or what to watch closely would be handy. Thanks!

At the start of this procedure it stated to remove the battery. I never saw the battery being removed, or the power cable from the battery being disconnected from the board to isolate the power from the phone. Is this step necessary to replacing the charging port card. I know that the battery can be a bear removing it from the phone.
