Removing the motherboard allows access to the display and the plastic front cover frame. Removal of the motherboard also enables you to work on electrical components.
Warning: Using metal tools on the motherboard or any electrical components could cause shock to yourself and/or your device. Using plastic tools reduces this risk, but pay attention when working on your device.
