Part arrived awesomely packed. Couldn’t expect more! |
Shattered phone beside new front assembly. |
Okay, let’s start! |
Remove mid-cover (contains earpiece and vibration motor) |
Remove battery and lower cover (contains loudspeaker, & 3G antenna) |
Removed lower PCB containing microphone, USB port and front touch button lights. |
Removed main board, camera module, earphone jack & sensors, volume buttons, power button. |
Start by putting back all the small bits into the new front assembly. |
And then the main board and lower PCB. |
Lower cover followed up mid-cover. |
Booting up … Tension … |
There! Good as new! |
Google somehow automatically put together an animated GIF for me, so I’m sharing it here for your viewing pleasure. |
Two details photos of the phone (sorry about the smudgy finger prints). |
