Hello everyone, today I show you how to disassemble iPhone XS and replace motherboard
To disassemble the iPhone XS you need the following tools:
• Screwdriver set • Tweezers
• Opening plastic tool • Plastic mediator
• Suction cup for removing display In the description of this video, I left links
to the necessary tools and parts for replacement.
Before disassembling, turn off the iPhone and remove the sim card tray.
Unscrew two screws near the lightning port.
Using a hairdryer, heat the surface of the display for a one minute.
This will make it easier to separate the display from the iPhone case.
Apply suction cup to the bottom edge of the display and pull up on the ring.
Push the plastic mediator between the display and iPhone case.
Now carefully separate the display from the iPhone case.
Open iPhone by swinging the display to the right side, like the cover of a book.
Next, unscrew the 4 screws on the metal panel using a Tri-Wing screwdriver and one screw
using a PH00 screwdriver.
Now you can remove the metal panel.
Disconnect the battery cable from the mainboard and 3 cables of the display.
Now you can remove the display.
Unscrew 2 screws and remove metal panel.
Unplug 2 camera cables and gently pry up the camera module from the side and remove the
camera.
Disconnect 7 cables from the iPhone XS motherboard.
Using a slotted screwdriver unscrew one screw and remove metal panel.
Under the metal panel, there are 2 cables.
It is difficult to get close to these two cables and it is impossible to turn them off
with a plastic tool; therefore, using to metal tools, very carefully, disconnect these two
cables.
Unscrew 2 screws with a PH00 or PH000 screwdriver.
Under one of screw there is the metal part, so do not lose it when disassembling the iPhone
XS.
Now, pry up the motherboard and gently remove it from the iPhone XS case.
In the description under the video, I left a link where you can buy motherboard for iPhone
XS Let's start installing the motherboard.
Install the mainboard and check that all cables are above the motherboard.
Connect 2 cables to the motherboard.
Now you need to install that metal bracket on top of these two cables.
Gently slide the metal bracket under the cable of the Face ID module.
After that, it is necessary to insert the edge of this bracket into the frame of the
main camera holder.
From the side of the camera holder there is a designated hole for this bracket.
Fasten 2 screws to the motherboard.
Connect all cables to the motherboard, except the battery cable.
Install the metal part and fasten the one screw on top.
Install the rear camera and connect two cables to the iPhone XS motherboard.
Set metal panel and fasten 2 screws.
Now you can install the display and test how phone works before final assembly with gluing
the iPhone case.
Connect 3 cables from the display module to the mainboard and only after that connect
the battery cable.
Turn on the iPhone and let's check how everything works.
If the phone works well, the next step is final assembly with gluing.
Remove the old adhesive tape from the iPhone case.
Using medicine alcohol, wipe the surface of the iPhone housing where old tape was located.
Now, take new adhesive tape and apply to the case.
With this tape, you save waterproof resistance of your iPhone.
I left link in description where you can buy this adhesive tape.
