Motherboard Replacement
- Disconnect the battery from the motherboard, but leave the battery on the display panel (unless you have already taken it off).
- Disconnect the motherboard from the rear-facing camera, the front-facing camera, the antenna, the power button board, the screen, and the display panel using your spudger.
- The cable connected to the display is adhered to the panel, so be careful when removing the cable (like most things here).
- If you are inexperienced with disconnecting everything, “Recognizing and Disconnecting Cable Connectors” is a helpful ifixit guide.
