The 5 MP front-facing camera is the last component preventing us from relieving this phone of its motherboard.

So, why don't you make like a tree and get outta here?

Off comes the motherboard, leaving behind the screen and I/O ports... Well, all except the USB-C port. This doesn't look good.

Similar to the LG G4, the USB-C port is soldered to the motherboard—not an easily replaced daughterboard. Unless you know how to microsolder, you'll need to replace the motherboard when the port fails.
