all right so today I'm going to show you how to take apart the Galaxy Nexus there's six screws all around the outside I'll speed this up I'm also keeping running this is the Galaxy Nexus is not the Nexus not the Nexus S or the Nexus 4 this is the third Nexus the Galaxy Nexus Google's gotten a pretty creative with their naming system anyway once those six screws around just take your pry tool and slide around the outside of the screen and it'll there's a few different through the few snaps on either side of the phone as well as on the top and the bottom and once those are out the screen lifts out of the back casing here you can see the three pins there's also three water damage indicators to take off the bottom part of the phone there's only one screw and then the whole plastic piece just kind of snapped into place split a little bit it'll pop right out it also has the little ribbon cable as well one thing you really like about this phone with all the new Samsung phones they've have the charging port as its own part of the phone and it's not connected to the motherboard the ribbon cable is a that was the first one is the charging port the second ones to the screen and this is the third one so right now I'm going to lift off the motherboard you can see on the side of the phone there's another cable that's attached right here that needs to be pulled off and then those three ribbon cables and then this one wire cable are the only things holding them on the board in place kind of the motherboard out the camera is stuck inside little plastic slots you just got a little bit pulled out right here the front-facing camera can be detached you just flip up this little lever you can pop the camera out slide it back in and then climb it back into place so if you want me to replace your camera let's out do I'll show you how to remove a charging port usually that's one of the main things that go out in cellphones so there is sticky tape holding it down into place and each one of those little segments has a little kind of guiding hole that help it fit on to the screen itself and this is also held on with sticky tape just kind of private way I'm going to put it back place just make sure it hits each of those little guiding holes so it's this right where it came from I'll try to post a link in the comments of where you can buy these just in case yours does go out those are the guiding holes to put the motherboard back in place there is this little ribbon cable that attaches to the bottom of the motherboard so clip that on first you can fold the motherboard over make sure to keep the other ribbon cables on the outside the top the board does need to slide into place first there are little plastic brackets along the top of the phone that hold the motherboard into place just right here I'm kind of wiggling it and pressing it in underneath those brackets so that it will sit tight against the phone there shouldn't be any wiggling room one more cool thing you can see right there underneath my thumb there's a the scan disk so it looks like that's where the memory is the built-in 32 gigabytes I wonder if they'll ever come out with the 64 gigabyte where you can just swap it out looks pretty simple and like a permanent SD card I'm just going to clip this wire cable back in place all there and cables and wire cables are kind of like Legos just put them into place they only fit in one direction and then you just gotta snap them in and then this wire cable has guiding brackets along the side as well though I'm going to push back into place and reattach the bottom plastic piece with the correlating ribbon cable and snap that in now push the back into place as well making sure to go around the outside of the phone and press all the little clips which attach the screen to the back housing then all this down is just slide the screws back into place and that's a relatively simple Samsung is usually pretty solved their design anyway if this helped it don't forget to like the video and don't forget to subscribe I'm usually pretty quick with getting a new phones show you how to take a look or thanks for watching you
