    • First we're going to remove the battery

    • Using a plastic spudger, remove the battery connector from its socket.

    • The battery will come off the motherboard when you put a little bit of pressure under it.

    • Don't bend the battery too much

    • Next, use a plastic spudger to open the socket-lock

    • Now, it's only the motherboard that's left.

    • Use a fine plastic tool to pull the main board out

    • There are no screws at this step

    • Never put too much stress on the motherboard, find other places to put pressure if it doesn't cooperate immediately

    • The earpiece remains in the screen assembly. Take care when removing it from the screen. Push gently on it from the screen-side to lift it out.

The procedure is very simple, but i realise that take off all the screws is a little bit difficult. As well, remove the motherboard that is attached to the plate behind the screen.

Question. How difficult is it to replace the glass?

I'm just about to have a go at it now!

I'll let you know

Dan Cameron -

Just replaced the broken screen on my XT1039. Be aware XT1032,XT1033, XT1039 - the screen components are all the same. I bought the screen/frame/digitizer as one unit for the XT1032. It was relatively straight-forward with a bit of care and attention in certain areas. After you've taken the 14 screws out the rest of the phone is basically glued together with sticky-strips. I followed the advice on a You-tube video and used a hair dryer to heat up the ribbon cables and to loosen the earpiece. Phone now fully functional - hooray! Thanks to all on this forum!

Can we further dismantle individual elements on motehrboard? Like I want to replace the memory.
