today I'll be taking apart and explaining most of the components inside of the smartphone LG v10 remove the back cover pop out the battery and then you'll see 14 screws that are all along the back plastic housing I will link tools and parts down in the video description below once those 14 screws are removed you can take your plastic pry tool and pry between the back plastic housing and the frame of the phone make sure you don't actually pry on the motherboard because it's right underneath that housing you don't want to damage any of the components on the board itself once it's all unclip from the side you can lift off the back plastic panel to replace the camera lens it's actually pretty easy you can just press against the backside of it from the outside and it'll push through the frame I will link these down the description as well pretty easy to replace the camera lens if it ever gets cracked or broken and then here you can see the fingerprint scanner as well as the actual buttons themselves you can see the gold contact points that just rest up against the motherboard as well and that's how it receives its communication from the phone to reinstall the camera lens just put it back in the frame and snap it down and then press the buttons down into the frame of the lens as well make sure it all clicks and then you're good to start working on the inside of the phone so the front-facing camera is actually pretty interesting it's two lenses it's a five megapixel camera and it looks suspiciously like the skull of a medical Star Wars droid the reason has two cameras is because if you use one cameras gives you a close-up shot and if you use both cameras it's the same size the same amount of pixels but it gives you more of a perspective that lets you see more things around you to stab back into place just press it down like a little Lego the headphone jack is also replaceable then you can unsnap the ribbon cable that connects the screen to the motherboard then you can lift the motherboard out away from the phone you can see the back of the front camera the rear camera is attached in the same way with a little Lego type connector just going to unsnap that from the mainboard this is a 16 megapixel camera with optical image stabilization and go ahead and snap that back into place just like a little Lego making sure it clicks in here's the charging port it is not replaceable unless you know how to solder here is one of the three microphones down at the bottom here's the other one both of those are visible from the outside of the phone the one that is not visible is the one right above the camera you can tell that they are microphones by the grilles that are underneath on the side of the motherboard and this is what allows the phone to do its three-dimensional sound recording the SD card and SIM card tray is not removable it is soldered on to the mainboard as well to remove these sidebars there are three more screws on each side remove those and you can see here that the bar will slide up and down a little bit is locked in place by the bottom plastic piece so I'm going to take my pry tool and remove the adhesive between the plastic and the frame of the screen and then I can pop that off away from the phone same thing with the other side just slide it down and pull it out these are pretty high quality they feel very nice in your hands then I'm going to remove the top plastic piece as well from the phone now this is your screen it is an IPS LCD display what you have here this particular component is the glass on the front the LCD in the middle and then the frame on the back and if you can buy it like this that will make your life so much easier now if you can only buy the glass and the LCD without the frame you're going to have to use a bunch of heat to separate the glass and the LCD from the frame itself and then re-adhere the LCD and the glass to the frame it is a significantly longer process and the old LCD will not survive so it is much easier if you can buy the component just like this I will link parts and tools down in the video description so check that out see if I can save you some time by linking the whole unit instead of just the glass in the LCD now that that's installed again we can go ahead and put back on the top plastic piece as well as the side bars left and right make sure you get those screws back in there the screws line up with the top of the phone then the bottom plastic piece goes in then you can set the motherboard down into the frame making sure that the ribbon cables aren't pinched underneath you got the headphone jack the LCD ribbon cable and then the motherboard will sit down pretty snugly you can snap on the back plastic piece and get those 14 screws screwed into place and then you can snap the back plastic piece back in turn the phone on everything is good if any questions leave them down in the comments don't forget to like if this video helped
