  • Release the back cover with the help of a thin blade or a Jimmy. Insert the tool between the frame display and the cover unclipping it along the entire perimeter.
  • Insert a Jimmy between the display frame and the side shell and slide it along the edge, in order to completely disengage the two parts.
  • Be careful if you use a Jimmy as they are made of metal and make breaking internal components very easy. It is preferable to use a plastic utensil.

Step 6

  • Pry up the following four connectors:
  • Battery connector;
  • Display connector;
  • Power / volume buttons;
  • Lower logic board connector.
  • The lower logic board ribbon cable must be disconnected from the lower board as well before proceeding with the next steps.
  • There is an arrow on the ribbon cable connecting the lower board with the logic board. When reinstalling it, this arrow must point towards the main board.

Step 7

              Remove The Battery
  • Remove the battery by placing a few drops of alcohol underneath the battery and letting it sit for about a minute. This will weaken the double-sided adhesive that holds the battery.
  • If you notice that it wasn’t enough, and you need to use too much force, with the risk of bending or damaging the battery, apply more alcohol.
  • Never puncture or bend the battery.
  • During reassembly, remember to apply new double-sided tape to hold the battery in place.

Step 8

  • Disconnect the two blue and white antenna wires.
  • Remember the locations of these wires when you reassemble the phone.
  • Remove the motherboard by lifting it away by the upper part.
  • Carefully remove the microphone, as it is glued and easily damaged. Try to warm up that area a little to make it easier.

If you’re gonna re-use the battery I wouldn’t use heat, it damages the cells inside of the battery. Just pry with a spudger and have

Smilzo - Jan 13, 2021

I’m sorry I don’t agree with a spudger without adequate heat the battery would bend to be removed. The adhesive is very resistant and the heat must be dosed appropriately for the situation so as not to damage the battery and the other components

In another vid, to remove the battery “without" heat, the person used “rubbing alcohol” said it consumes the adhesive making it very easy to remove, placing it with a syringe like tip, along both the left and right sides, when the phone is in the normal upright position. And because rubbing alcohol evaporates, it’s not harmful to the phone. Then a spudger can be used without brute force. That was a vid for the A205. (2019)
