Motorola nexus 6
HOW
TO REPLACE THE MOTHER BOARD
With
a SIM card eject tool (a paperclip will work as well), push down on the hole at
the top of the phone until the SIM card holder releases. This should not take
much pressure. Remove the SIM card and the SIM card holder.
Lay
out a soft cloth on your workspace to prevent scratching the screen in this and
future steps.
Pry
open the back casing using the soft plastic opening pick. Be careful of the
Power & Volume Key ribbon on the left side just next to the volume key. The
ribbon is exposed and could be damaged with the opening tool.
Carefully pull the back casing apart from the rest of the phone with your hands. Because the casing is glued to the rest of the phone, this step may require some force. Don't be alarmed if the casing flexes a bit.
You may need an Opener to loosen up the adhesive. Check out the Opener Instructions for info on how to use it.
You can use a Small Suction Cup on the bottom corner to slightly lift up the back casing and help slipping the tool under the cover.
