    • Start from the bottom .

    • Lift up gentle and check the last photo,there's a little detail on the proximity sensor. You'll have to disconnect it after lift up the motherboard.

The antenna connector on the daughter board can be broken off really easily. Pop off the connectors carefully. A hot air workstation will make quick work of re attaching tho.

OMG that’s probably exactly what happened to me. now the phone does not receive network anymore any suggestions on what to do ?? i am quite certain i cannot get another antenna or board. do you think i can find a matching antenna from another phone entirely ???

Thanks for this tear down! At what step can the battery be removed? It *appears* to be mid-step-5
