Tulsa cell phone repair  Getting started you want to make sure that the device is powered off holding the power button firmly for a few seconds we’ll pull that screen and if it won’t register then just proceed at your own risk. I’m going to go ahead and continue now on the bottom of the phone.

We have two screws holding the back plate together.

You want to examine those screws to make sure that ARE THEY Philips or are they Penta popular if this if you’re working on the horizon or Sprint iPhone 4 and it’s going to be Pentel obvious for now. Every time we take a screw out we’re always going to take it and put it on a trusty screw matte screw that defies the whole process of the do it yourself repair.

After those two screws have been removed.

We just want to turn the phone over and then place in the phones but on both sides and listen up pushing up the battery door releases first thing that we want to do now is we’re basically going to use the Philips high quality driver most of the way through the repair. We’re going to take out the battery first. And there’s one screw right down here holding the battery terminal securely in place and that goes right on the blue circle labeled Number two the blue circles on the screw that indicate that there’s two screws in that location. So just watch as you know we repair that we can take our black plastic pick and just carefully right at the top of this metal plate we can just gently release that battery criminal. Now using the plastic tab provided we’re going to basically hold firmly the iPhone in one hand and pull the battery out towards the right. Now sometimes it can be really really really firm and you can rip this tab. In that case I like to use the metal on opening tool. And what we want to do is we want to be real careful because this is a battery. You don’t want to puncture the battery so inserting. The metal opening tool you want to go straight on in between the seam between the battery and the logic board. And basically we’re just going to do a wedging action and just carefully going in evenly spreading you know the lifting process again. You want to be real careful that you don’t want to puncture the battery so just proceed with caution in case the plastic tab rips.

From here we want to go ahead and remove. These two screws right here. Every screw that you take out you want to make sure that you transplant it over to the corresponding circle on the screw mat. Very simple if you just take a little time to examine this groove and see what you need to do. OK. We’ve got this little tiny black plate and we’ll just put that over in this room. Now what we’re going to do is take our black plastic pick again the reason why we used a black plastic pick is just because it’s a little less destructive. You know putting up against small circuits and whatnot. This cable basically it lifts up off of the little connector right here. And then we slowly pull it down and then it does a little 90 degree bend at the bottom making sure that we don’t rip this cable. This cable controls the microphone and the charging of the device from here we have several Philips screwdrivers we’re just going to go kind of from the bottom right corner all the way up to to the top. And let’s just go ahead and start right here. Always apply firm pressure when your ruling screws you do not want to strip any screws in the process down here on this bottom left screw there’s a little tiny plastic wedge washer that it gets placed right over here Tulsa cell phone repair .

And I haven’t taken it out yet but we’ll dump that piece out I just want to point it out to you guys right now. There’s one screw right here. If you. Need to examine. You can always look at all the circles all the circles that you see those are locations that the screws are going to need to come out so check your screw and make sure that you’re not missing any screws. Right here we have one screw that has a little tiny black oblong washer on it that holds the antenna cap cover down.

This piece here just put then on the screw mount. Now moving up towards the top.

Tulsa cell phone repair  And this screw right here. You’re going to see as I transplant this over to the screw Matt there’s one more circle up here that we can’t see yet. Don’t worry about it. We actually have to take the camera out first in order to reveal that screw. So just keep on following here with me what I’m doing.

After this screw we’re going to pick up our black plastic washer sees me our black plastic pick. Now we’re going to come in right here at the top and we’re basically just going to slide underneath. Right there. See like that and I’m just going to take my index finger and with a pinch on top of this this black.

Metal piece. OK. Now we’ve gotten to a place that we can take off this EMI shield just gently pick it up from the top and lifting out this black metal. EMI she’ll come out. OK let’s pick up our flat head screwdriver and we have three screws that we want to pull out that get placed on the number two Tulsa cell phone repair .

OK. The first one is right up here on the top right corner.

Why good pressure. Place those in their appropriate location.

Great thing about this group that is it’s magnetized so it holds your screws in place without shift it off the table. Last one is right down there on the bottom. OK.

Now we have to unplug a couple of cables the first cable right down here a little pressure on the circuit board. Is this antenna cable. Where we real careful with this. Just going to pick out of there we go.

And there’s a little tiny channel system that we just want to and we’ve.

Pulled it back like so now we have six cables flex connectors that we want to basically. Get. Unfastened right up here.

There’s one there’s one more underneath there Tulsa cell phone repair .

So right there on top of the three right here that basically pick from the left side over to the right and we have three cables on the top. First the camera connector we pick up gently from the bottom. We can basically just kind of pull that out nice and easy to the side and then we have our touch screen and LCD connector right here and we’re just going to just kind of bend those back just a hair. OK Glass cable right here is the secondary antenna. And that just picks gently off like that. Will be real cautious with these cables. We don’t want to puncture them or hurt them in any way. Now there’s one more screw for the top location on this group Matt. This is the one that is underneath the camera. Probably five times out of ten there’s going to be a little tiny piece of black tape covering that screw. If that’s the case you can either just take your Philips screwdriver and pierce that tape or it can just be real careful and remove that tape from one of the corners but this screws holding in a little tiny gold washer in place and we don’t want to lose.

So let’s go ahead and let’s just dump turn the phone over and dump a couple of these pieces out.

There’s the black triangle washer for the bottom and then that’ll come out here the second when I let the circuit board out we’re going to with a circuit board out in that little gold. Come on out. So just gently just kind of swaying the piece out of there. The circuit board. I’m sorry. There’s that gold. Washer. OK. Now at this point we want to take the little buzzer the vibrator out and we’ll take our metal. Phone opening tool and we’re basically just going to try to slide it underneath the round cylinder portion of the buzzer and then we’re just going to lift it up out of place that’s it here with some 3M adhesive on the bottom. So I’d put that to the side and. This point we can also take out this black. Speaker box down here. It also helps with the antenna. And that just lifts just you know right out Tulsa cell phone repair .
