Title	Sony Xperia Z4 Flex Cable Assemblies and Loudspeaker Replacement
Introduction	Use this guide to remove the main flex cable assembly including vibration motor and microphone, the loudspeaker and the side button flex cable including the charging port. Opening the Sony Xperia Z4 will '''damage the waterproof seals''' on the device. If you do not replace the adhesive seals, your phone will function normally but will '''lose its water protection'''. Due to the phone’s design, you must remove the lithium-ion battery in order to access the flex cable assemblies. '''Do not re-use the battery once it is removed, as doing so is a potential safety hazard.''' '''Before disassembling your phone, discharge the battery below 25%'''. The battery can catch fire and/or explode if accidentally punctured, but the chances of that happening are much lower if discharged. You’ll need '''replacement adhesive''' to reattach components when reassembling the device.

Conclusion	'''If possible, turn on your phone and test your repair before installing new adhesive and resealing the phone.''' Secure the new battery with pre-cut adhesive or double-sided adhesive tape. In order to position it correctly, apply the new adhesive into the phone at the places where the old adhesive was located, not directly onto the battery. Press the new battery firmly into place. To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order. '''For optimal performance, calibrate your newly installed battery''': Charge it to 100%, and keep charging it for at least two more hours. Then, use it until it shuts off due to low battery. Finally, charge it uninterrupted to 100% Take your e-waste to an [[E-Waste|R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler|new_window=true]]. Repair didn’t go as planned?
