all right today we're gonna take apart the samsung galaxy light it's kind of a lower-end smartphone from samsung go ahead and take out the back the battery the SIM card and then there are nine screws around the outside once you have all those screws out you can just kind of grab on the little plastic edge and lift that up there's just a series of clasps around the back that hold it to the front of the phone here you can see the loudspeaker and then the two little contact points that just sit on top of the motherboard pretty cool the way that works now you have the little ribbon connector that just unsnaps like a Lego up at the top and then once that's off you can fold the motherboard back and see the little connector on the bottom that goes to the LCD same thing with this one like a little Lego just unsnap it then that releases the motherboard for you now the back camera is connected via a latch connector so you just lift up the little latch and then the camera can slide out super it easy to replace put the camera back in and then you can real latch it just clip it back down and that holds it pretty snug when I pulled out the motherboard my front camera was left in the phone so I'm just going to go ahead and slide that back into place as well so when I put the motherboard back in its going to be ready to go just latch it back into place just like you did the rear camera now the charging port and the SIM card slot are soldered onto the mainboard kind of a bummer that they're not replaceable but you know it's a low end phone now this is the vibrator motor that your piece and the headphone jack pretty simple to pull out and replace as well this is the screen if you're going to replace just the glass watch one of my Galaxy s3 s4 or galaxy s5 replacement videos I do not recommend replacing just the glass because the success rate is so low but you know watch those videos and see if you have a have the desire to complete that repair after you're done they're pretty complicated anyway I'm going to go ahead and put all the components back in again clipping on the motherboard to the LCD and then making sure none of the little wire cables are pushed underneath the motherboard so they're not pinched or anything like that anyway overall relatively simple phone to repair I would recommend you know if you have to fix the screen you can go ahead and try the glass repair otherwise try to do a whole LCD swap just kind of depends on what your budget is with a phone like this you know you don't have a whole lot to lose anyway don't forget to subscribe to my videos follow me on Instagram at Zach's jerry-rigged thanks for watching I put up videos about every week
