all right today I take apart the Galaxy Note 2 this particular version is from Sprint so it's the L 900 resin has a version as well I think it's the I 605 I'm not sure what other carriers carry the the Galaxy Note 2 anyway ticket parts pretty simple there's 11 screws on the back all surrounding the outside these are other screws so my fast-forward me taking those out save a little bit of time to remove the screen itself just take your non marring tool and kind of just slide it around the outside of frame I went around the whole frame first just to kind of unclip everything you can hear the little clip snapping out as you go around and then once it's all loosened up you can just kind of pry it up with the with the pry tool there's no tape or anything holding this down it's just all about clips so it's not too bad once you get the clips undone there's two clips inside the battery case as well one at the very bottom in the middle so I just snap up right there then the other one is a slightly harder one up at the top kind of where the battery connects in it's right there next to my tool this one kind of gave me a little bit of problems try pulling it back with a pair of tweezers but I didn't work either what I ended up doing is kind of pushing down through where the SD card was and getting it out from that other angle I'll show you that here in a second just loosened up the top a little more to be able to slide it out there's a little bit rubber like a rubber washer type thing around the headphone jack that kind of came into play later anyways that's how I got to snap undone for the right above the battery there's these two little rubber washers it also popped out they'll just snap onto the back plastic pretty simple anyway here's the guts of the phone there are two wire cables and I believe there are six ribbon cables and I'll show you what those are all out I'm just making sure the phone itself is pretty sturdy and it's not like taking apart an iphone or something where the cables really easily I might actually like the design of this phone a lot particularly what we're taking part right now is just the the speaker the loudspeaker for the back that housing comes off pretty simply and then right here you have the charging port cable which i think is an awesome idea because the charging port is one of the things that goes out on the phone the most and so with its own little circuit board if your charging port goes out it's a really simple fix that anyone can do I just detached the ribbon cable right there and then this one is stuck down a little bit of the double-sided tape at the bottom so you say I peel it up and then if the ad ever breaks that's all you got to replace for example part so this wire cable right here drops down to the charging port so there is one of the ribbon cables there's two three Northland is right there for the headphone jack and then this is the other ribbon cable that slides down to the other circuit board on the left side next to the stylus and there's one screw holding your motherboard down that was it there's the fifth ribbon cable then the motherboard itself just lifts right off the camera sometimes kind of holds it in place just kind of jiggle the camera around and then you can pull the whole assembly out in one piece and there is table number six right next the top of the stylus so to reassemble the board I got to do is take it slide it in make sure the camera falls into the right spot and make sure although the ribbon cables are up and out of the way and you press it down just kind of lifting that ribbon cable up and over the board wire cable down on this side is down to the board as well so I'm going to grab that pull it up the top then the wire cables they snap down you know pretty easily just right over the little little nub that they were attached to before so kind of got to clip them down into place then the ribbon cables they also snap in um it takes a little bit of pressure to it it's kind of like a Lego piece and you'll definitely feel it click in once it goes down you just don't press too hard if you know it's not going to click into place it's only got one way to fit so snap all those down remember there's six of them all around the outside pressing that cable down it helps if you have a non marring tool with the pry tool like I have right here just kind of focuses the pressure onto it helps it click in so helping the last ribbon cable on cane that one screw back onto the motherboard charging cord back into place just kind of stick it down on top of the tape that was before and there should still be enough you know sticky stuff left on it if you're replacing that part you can get the double-sided sticky tape on Amazon like five four or five bucks it's not too bad let's get in place now the ribbon cable down reattaching over your speaker that it kind of clips into place just a little bit but then you gotta take that one screw and screw it back in and that'll hold it tight take the back cover snap it into place and see this is where that rubber washer or the rubber you know covering around that headphone jack came into play so everything snaps on really easily exactly the way it was before except for right around the headphone jack because the rubber was kind of bent up out of place so I eventually had to do is I kind of just ran my non wiring tool around the top of it and kind of peeled the screen back up again just like this and just kind of press the rubber part back into place where it was before then once I was done with that I could snap the back cover on and it was exactly like it was you couldn't even tell it had been opened take the two rubber washers from the back and just pop those back into places clip right in then you have eleven screws that go around the outside fast-forward this again there we go pop batter in turn it on make sure it works I started take apart the Galaxy S no 2 pretty much all the Samsung phones are relatively the same they'll have the same you know setup with the motherboard ribbon cables everything clips on easy screws HTC F HTC phones and iPhones are a lot harder to take apart they might have any questions make sure leave in the comments and don't forget to Like and subscribe thanks
