today I'm going to show you how to take apart and fix almost everything on the LG G flex 2 it's a fairly long name but it's actually a pretty simple phone to take apart once you remove the back cover you'll see that there are 13 Phillips head screws I will link all the tools that you'll need in the video description below as well as replacement parts for this particular phone there are 13 screws that hold the back plastic panel onto the back of the phone once you remove those screws you can just grab the little plastic and lift it up it's held on by a series of clasps you'll hear those pop off as you remove that back cover here are the little connection points for the power button and then here is the water sensor you can see it's white on one side and red on the other so if it gets wet the red will bleed through onto the white for the rest of this project you'll need a pry tool you don't have to buy the sexy green one if you don't want you can always use a plastic knife or your fingernails if you're super cheap but I will link these in the video description below as well here is the speaker it just rests on top of the charging port it'll pop right off since you already took out the screws you can see the gold contact points there as well that just rest against the charging port remove the antenna cables they're just little wire connectors that has pop off little gold connection and there's two Phillips head screws along the charging port as well you have to remove take your non-marring pry tool and lift up these little waffle connectors they're like little Lego pieces you just unsnap them from the board and then there's one big one up here on the motherboard as well that you can unsnap and then unstick from the battery it's held on by just a little bit of adhesive once everything is disconnected from the charging port you can go ahead and lift that off from the frame of the screen the charging port also has the headphone jack you can see that attached to the side as well and the microphones down here as well I will link these in the video description so if you ever need to replace them they are very easy to replace here is the battery go ahead and lift up the top connection to the motherboard and then the battery should come out there might be a little adhesive holding it onto the motherboard as well I will link replacement batteries in the video description here are the top parts of the antenna wire cables and then there's some ribbon cables up along the top as well the first one was the front camera here is the rear-facing camera 13 megapixels and then we can lift out the motherboard there are no screws or anything else holding this down pretty straightforward you can see the dual SIM our des D card slot that's soldered onto the main board so that's not replaceable unfortunately and on the back you can see the processor and a few other components here is the vibrator motor you can see it's got these two little gold Springs on there that just rest against the motherboard and that's how it gets its signal here's the 13 megapixel rear camera that I'm lifting up out of the screen frame you can see that it has the optical image stabilization there on the side here is the front facing camera just rest inside this little slot and then we have the earpiece as well as the front sensors so here is the screen itself so if you break your screen whether it's just the glass or the LCD this is the part you want to buy it comes with the frame that holds all of the cameras and the motherboard and the battery it's a much easier repair than trying to replace just the glass or just the LCD I will link this part in the video description as well now I'm just replacing the front camera putting back in the vibrator motor and the rear facing camera just fits down in its slot motherboard gets tucked back in underneath the ribbon cables and pull out the wire cables so that they're not stuck under there as well and you can see that you just line up the little gold connector right over the little circle and then pop it back into place you hear a satisfying snap as it gets pressed down on top of its connection you'll know if it's connected or not here is the battery just tucking that back into its little slot on the frame and plugging into the motherboard if you want to be super safe you might want to plug the battery into the motherboard last but it's not a super big deal what order you do it in got the charging port screwed back into the main frame and getting these antenna cables tucked back into their grooves if they're not tucked back in the back casing won't fit perfectly over the screen get the charging port plugged in with the three connections that are on it one of the motherboard and the other two that are down below the battery make sure those are pressed in and then you can take the rear speaker and then clip that down into place as well you hear it snap in it's pretty straightforward getting the rear plastic housing place back over the phone as well snap beginning all the way around and before I put the screws in I'm going to make sure that the phone turns on that everything is working correctly screen is looking good I'm gonna flip it back over but all thirteen screws back into place and then the back cover goes on if you have any questions leave them down in the comments I do try to stop in regularly answer as many as I can if you liked this video hit that thumbs up button and don't forget to subscribe thanks dumb for watching and hope see you around
