Bonjour, en placant le médiator à l’intérieur de l’emplacement de la batterie le démontage est plus facile de l’intérieur vers l’extérieur…
Merci pour l’info!
In English: it is easier work your way around the inside of the battery compartment rather than around the outside. Also, the clip below the power button (i.e., top of the battery compartment) will release the whole top edge.

Use the flat end of a spudger to disconnect the front camera flex cable.

Use a pair of tweezers to carefully remove the front facing camera. Be careful to only grip the body of the camera, as the top is the sensor pcb and is only held on with glue (removal will ruin the sensor).

You can leave the front facing camera in its place as long as you're careful while removing the motherboard assembly. However if you feel uncertain, carefully remove it with a pair of tweezers.
Anyone have a picture of the back of the board by the charge port

Does the adhesive holding the motor need to be replaced? What kind is needed?
Hi databasebloat,
usually the adhesive can be reused. In case you want to replace it anyway, you can use thin double sided tape and cut it into small pieces or a shape similar to the old adhesive.

When I dug down to the motor, I found it wasn’t going to be that easy to pull it out.
Instead, I checked that it actually worked by touching its contacts carefully to a 1.5v AA battery. It turns out that the spring contacts on the motor were a little too compressed, so I stretched them with tweezers, and didn’t need to replace the motor: all works.
my motor also stopped working. after taking it apart i noticed the gold contacts on the PCB were hardly rubbed. connected a 2.5 v PSU to the motor. works! also just ended up stretching the spring. Also added some NT-H1 thermal paste to the area with the thermal pad and the other can beside it. Thermal throttling was reduced significantly.
