all right so today I'm going to show you how to take apart the atif s neo from Samsung this phone is currently on Sprint here in the US and we're gonna start off by taking off the back taking out the battery and there are 10 screws around the outside of the phone there's this one in the corner and I'm gonna show you where the placement is of all the other screws right here you can go ahead and pause the video if you want to just make sure to take out all the screws there they're all the same size you don't need to worry about jumbled in a month make sure to take out the SIM card click it in and it'll slide right out to remove the screen take your nan your pry tool and slide it around the edges and you'll hear a series of clicks as it snaps the outside casing away from the actual screen itself do this a few times just to make sure all the little locks are unclick just kind of wiggle it out there you can see it coming away from the actual from the back of the phone then right there it came loose so there's no wires or anything holding on the back casing to the actual phone itself here you can see the water marker where it shows where that's been wet or not here we have the phone so when I take apart right now this part is a bracket that holds the charging port in place on this black piece of plastic is also the microphone so if you're replacing the microphone this is the piece that you'll need to replace as soon as it becomes available I'll place it a link for it in the video description below I'm usually from Amazon as a place I'd buy all my parts from anyway so I just unlatch the ribbon cable for the charging port from the motherboard and then here's a wire cable right here as well that I am just lifting up to unlatch from the motherboard itself pull the wire cable out from the little groove that it's in next to the battery and do the same thing with this wire cable from this side so that's how you unplug the charging port I'll show you how to remove it in just a second there's two wire cables sorry ribbon cables up at the top and then there's a ribbon cable right here as well they just unclick kind of like Legos they just unsnap really easily and that frees up the motherboard for you the camera on the motherboard is also replaceable as the same type of wire ribbon cable that you can just unsnap and it becomes loose so if you need to replace that it's pretty simple to just snap a new one in place here is the earpiece as well as the loudspeaker they are both attached to the same piece so if you replace one you gotta replace both once again I'll put the parts in the video description as soon as they become available on Amazon or ISA fly and here's how to remove the charging port the whole thing is just kind of a circuit board slash ribbon so and it's just glued down to the bottom of the phone it does come up relatively easily though what I found works best is just to take my non-marring pry tool and slide it underneath the top of the of the charging port and then down into it right following the ribbon cable down so don't put any pressure on the ribbon cable do that to both sides and it pops loose so here's a charging port it's really that simple to replace is super easy take your new one press it down into place using the same glue that you had before the black plastic will hold it down into place with those two screws so you have to worry about it too much and I'm gonna take the ribbon cables sorry the wire cables and slide them into the grooves where they came from then I'm taking the motherboard and position it remembering to keep all of the ribbon cables on the upper side of the motherboard just like that so there are two up at the top that you have to clip in and they snap in just like Legos so there's the one on the side that I'm doing right now and then there's the two wire cables one on either side of the phone you only have one shot at this you got to make sure to clip them in you know putting the pressure directly from the top of the phone otherwise you might bend the little lip and it won't connect anymore anyway so now I'm placing down the microphone / charging port bracket and putting the screws in overall I'm pretty impressed with this phone I really like half Samsung has made the charging port replaceable mostly because the charging port is usually what goes out on a smartphone first is the part that suffers the most abuse so making it replaceable is a pretty intelligent decision and I'm going to snap the back on you'll hear a series of clicks as you take this screen and kind of push it back into place and it fits perfectly so you won't notice you know you wouldn't be able to tell it anyone ever took the phone apart it's gonna keep on snapping those around pop the battery in back on and don't forget to put all the screws in I'll put up that little picture here in just a second and everything works there you go I hope that you found this video interesting don't forget to like the
