    • Place an opening pick in the opening of the SIM card tray slot and twist it sideways to release the first plastic clip that holds the rear panel in its place.

    • Slide the opening pick around the top edge of the phone to release the plastic clips that secure the rear panel.

    A guitar pick is a good substitution for the plastic opening tool.

    Twisting sideways didn’t do it for me, but sliding along the edge did. However, at first I didn’t realize that the pick was between the motherboard and midframe, rather than between midframe and back cover like it was supposed to. This led to breaking off a spring-loaded connector on the motherboard, connecting to an antenna (I guess) in the back cover. So far I haven’t noticed any reception issues, but I can’t say for sure.

    In essence: be careful to get the pick towards the back cover, and not “straight in” under the midframe.

    • Tilt the opening pick to lift the rear panel a little bit.

    • There are two more plastic clips next to the fingerprint sensor. Release them by gently pulling the rear panel.

    • Remove the rear panel.

    • Insert an opening pick into the SIM card tray slot and twist the opening pick sideways to release the plastic clips.

    The photo seems to show that the person is opening from the top, which is the opposite of your advice. So, just want to be clear.

    Robert Konigsberg - 回复

    yes, open from bottom first... the pic above shows the finished product after reaching top of phone. I found it best to actually start close to the right of the usbC connector. Pushing inbetween the 2 tabs and up will release the shell.. then work clockwise.

    Chris Mayberry - 回复

    Chris, your advice to start to the right of the usbC connector was excellent, thank you!

    Robert Konigsberg - 回复

    I found that my middle panel was already broken at the narrowest part just to the left of the 2-D scan code on the battery, perhaps from some ham-fisted previous repair. This seems of little consequence, there do not seem to be any electrical connections running through this part.

    Wiley Sanders - 回复

    After a long amount of prying, I discoved that, if used gently, a jimmy can really help get the plastic off

    Timothy Owens - 回复

    I could not remove the cover with the opening tool but had success with the opening picks (the triangle parts). Just slide them under the cover and gently bend and twist the pick to release the cover from the locks. By the way: it’s perfectly normal for the bottom cover part to come loose from the top cover part. It’s designed that way (they interlock).

    Marco Miltenburg - 回复

    Here’s a photo of the location of the 20 tabs that hold the middle assembly in place, and the pry angle needed.

    Steve - 回复

    This is the scariest part but it is the same process of taking a bike tire off the rim: lift up one part of the cover then put a wedge under the lifted section to hold it up then continue around the frame lifting it up and holding it up with the blue picks. You’ll find that after you life the bottom you can wriggle free the rest by hand.

    The 10 screws came out quickly using the IFIXIT.com magnetic screwdriver.

    • Use the plastic pick to pry open the plastic clips on the long edge of the midframe and on the bottom edge.

    • Make sure the clips on the long edge are released. The midframe is prone to break here if they are not disconnected properly.

    • Use an iOpener to loosen the adhesive beneath the battery. Apply the iOpener on the back of the phone for at least two minutes.

    And all that in 3 minutes.

    No way!!!

    Chris Hibbert - 回复

    Yeah, three minutes is probably not very realistic. I updated the time estimate to something a bit more conservative. :)

    Jeff Suovanen -

    The adhesive on mine was also really strong.

    I had to use a heat gun at about ~110F while applying pressure to get the battery to release

    Brian Stambaugh - 回复

    Seriously? All this, just to change the battery?

    Robin Gregory - 回复

    Your comment only makes sense in 2017.

    I was able to spudge the battery out from the bottom edge using a “custom” tool made from an old credit card cut to a width slightly less than the bottom of the battery.

    Wiley Sanders - 回复

    Great tip - I used a credit card too without the need for a heat gun.

    Sam Sippe -

    No need to remove the battery if you only want to get the mainboard out. Just release all the connectors

    Wim Brouwer - 回复

    I’d recommend trying to remove the battery without using heat as my phone failed with the infamous “boot loop” problem less than a week after I changed the battery.

    chilton cabot - 回复

    Following these helpful comments, I used isopropyl alcohol and the spudge to get the battery loose, no heat.

    hans haucke - 回复

    Another data point: to be safe, I used the iOpener according to instructions (30s, ~900W microwave, the iOpener just started to expand a bit) and added some isopropyl alcohol. The battery came out without too much effort in a few minutes. No reheating needed, used the spudger from the kit.

    The pre-exiting adhesive seemed good enough still, so I didn’t bother removing and re-applying.

    Hampus - 回复

    I also used isopropyl alcohol only without heat. I got the spluger into the corner just a little to give a small space between the battery and the surrounding plastic enclosure for the battery. Then soaked a corner of a paper towel with a little alcohol. Tipped the phone and squeezed some of the alcohol into the space and let it drain down the edge of the battery. Waited about 60 seconds and then pryed gently with the spluger on that side. It came up pretty easily. Once I got one side of the battery up, I soaked the paper towel again tipped the phone so the edge that was still stuck was down, and squeezed alcohol all along the edge that was freed to let alcohol get down to the tape that was still holding. Waited another minute and then pried gently again and the rest of the battery came right up. The whole procedure took maybe 4-5 minutes.

    • Try your best not to deform the battery during the following removal process. Soft-shell lithium-ion batteries can leak dangerous chemicals, catch fire, or even explode if damaged. Do not use excessive force or pry at the battery with metal tools.

    • Insert the flat end of a spudger under the bottom left corner of the battery and gently pry upwards.

    • The adhesive is only located beneath the edges of the battery so there's no need to pry beneath its center.

    • If you are having trouble prying up the battery, the adhesive may not be loose enough. You can apply some isopropyl alcohol under each corner of the battery and allow it to penetrate for several minutes to help weaken the adhesive.

    • Insert the flat end of a spudger under the bottom right corner of the battery and gently pry upwards to loosen the remaining adhesive.

  14. Nexus 5X LCD Screen & Digitizer Replacement: 步骤 14 中的图像 1,1
    • Remove the battery.

    • Do not reuse the battery after it has been removed, as doing so is a potential safety hazard. Replace it with a new battery.

    • Before installing a new battery remove any remaining adhesive from the phone, and clean the glued areas with isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth.

    • Secure the new battery with pre-cut adhesive or double-sided adhesive tape. In order to position it correctly, apply the new adhesive into the phone at the places where the old adhesive was located, not directly onto the battery. Press the new battery firmly into place for 5-10 seconds.

    If you use the ifixit heat-pad to remove the battery and gently lever the battery away from the internal glue then the original glue will still be functional.

    • Use an iOpener or a heat gun over the digitizer ribbon cable to soften the adhesive that secures it to the plastic housing.

    • The Nexus 5X pictured here does not have a layer of shielding tape over the digitizer panel. If this tape is present on your device, simply peel it away from the plastic frame to free the digitizer panel.

    • You'll need to transfer or replace this strip of shielding tape when you install your new screen.

    • Gently wedge the flat end of a spudger into the gap between the battery housing and the digitizer ribbon cable, or use your fingers to gently pull the digitizer ribbon cable free.

Good guide, but not the end all - this guide doesn't accurately reflect how difficult the cameras and battery can be to remove. Also, if you are replacing the LCD+digitizer+frame, you will need to remove the LED, headphone jack, and vibration motor

Jay Miley - 回复

Hello Jay! Thank you for your comment. I've added some of the details you mentioned to help our readers. Guide specifics can vary since it's not always possible to judge the state of a reader's particular device, but that's the beauty of a repair wiki! We can all pitch in and create a comprehensive guide.

You are correct—additional components and/or parts may need to be transferred or removed depending on the replacement. You certainly can remove the LED panel, headphone jack, and vibration motor, but it is not required to free the LCD screen and digitizer in this guide. The cameras are removed in this guide due to their fragility and the potential for component damage during the replacement.

Always research replacement kits and parts before ordering, and make sure you've got everything you need for a successful repair!

Richard -

This guide helped tremendously, things got a little confusing after step 10 (my replacement screen came with the frame, which I think is the better option). As Jay Miley pointed out there are several other steps required for moving components from the old frame (and unfortunately it's easy to overlook some of the smaller pieces), but it was still nice to have this guide to reference.

Craig - 回复

Hiya Craig! I'm glad to hear that your replacement went well even though you had the +frame replacement part. There are two screen replacement options for the 5X; the +frame replacement part for the 5X requires additional components and gaskets to be transferred from your old frame. I'll try to get a guide up for the LCD & digitizer +frame replacement part in addition to this guide.

Richard -

I had a pre-assembled screen / frame so the only real difference was:

* heatgun and remove headphone jack

* power / volume buttons also needed to be switched over (very small flat head screw driver to pop-up)

Andrew Baron - 回复

if you are having signal problems, and you got a new lcd/digitizer with a new frame:

you have to be 100% sure you have transferred ALL the shielding tape (grey/black metallic tape) from the old frame to the new frame

I thought I did and had signal issues still, until I realized I missed one -

There are two pieces of shielding tape UNDERNEATH the digitizer board (little rectangular board at bottom, that ribbon cables into your nexus 5x pcb underneath the battery).

these are very easy to miss.

once i added in those two pieces, my signal boosted to normal levels.

Bob Devitt - 回复

I apologize if im missing something in this guide, but why do you need to remove the cameras from the mid-frame if your just replacing the screen. seems like extra work?

Andrew Craley - 回复

Great question, Andrew! I personally removed these components due to their fragility. Smartphone cameras are often sealed with very small and delicate gaskets that can be compromised if too much heat is applied [during screen removal]. This can lead to a loss of waterproofing, an obstructed lens due to gasket movement, or damage to the lens itself. If you're comfortable skipping right to the screen assembly, go for it!

Richard -

The replacement itself isn't easy. But how you written how you have to remove the camera isn't very good. I tried to remove it with the spudger, but now the connector is broken for a part.

Now I’m looking where to buy a new camera :/

Remy B - 回复

Same thing happened to me. Very frustrated.

Robert T -

If you’re replacing your screen, READ ALL THE COMMENTS:

There are two small rubber gaskets at the top of the phone for the proximity sensor (one rectangle gasket sitting directly on top of another gasket with two circle cutouts) — if you’re replacing your screen and you miss these two pieces you’re not going to be able to access your screen while a call is active (the screen goes completely black on a call, and it doesn't know when to turn back on if the proximity sensor doesn't work). I almost completely reassembled the phone before I tested this and realized the problem.

The other comments here about also transferring the LED, vibration motor, ear speaker, headphone jack, and power/volume buttons are accurate, but neglected to mention these rubber gaskets for the proximity sensor.

Kris - 回复

Nice work - searching for the sections to put them back on together. Will that be covered in another article? The glues will take the new screen with the same strength?

Dhana - 回复

I did the frame replacement and now cannot get audio to work from the speaker. The headphones work well and i get ringtones to work but not audio from the earpiece speaker. I checked the connections and made sure all rubber gaskets were in place but still no luck. Any ideas anyone?

Slava Arabagi - 回复

Hello, i’m having the same problem now. Followed the guide exactly, and no audio besides ringtones work. Am i missing something?

Thanks.

Ryan LaBarre - 回复

Hi, I just replaced my screen and am facing the same issue. Did you have any luck fixing it?

Laurens Bolle -

Found the solution to my problem. Apparently I must have pressed down on some pin when removing the headphone jack, causing the phone to think it always had some headphones plugged in. Inserting and removing some real headphones a couple of times fixed this. My audio is now working perfectly again.

Laurens Bolle -

When buying the suggested part (screen and digitizer) suggested at the top of this guide, be advised that the instructions do not match! The part that you purchase would actually make it easier, in theory, because it comes with the frame, etc, but these instructions do not match that.

stu - 回复

hey, many thanks for the guide;

Battery could really be tricky to remove - but be gently (for you safety !)

Thanks again !

Saozis - 回复

For the life of me I cannot soften the glue to separate the glass from the LCD. I’ve heated the %#*@ thing up to the point you cant touch it with bare hands but when i put the suction cup on it wont budge - at all. its been driving me nuts for 3 days now. Has anyone else run into this?

Jarrod Pritchard - 回复

Hi there,

Any chance you may have took details on the part number of LCD panel on the nexus 5x. I have a LCD panel from a motherboard dead 5x, i want to use it as display interfaced to my RPi, if possible. If i have part number i may be able to get the datasheet on that panel.

Thanks

Imran - 回复

I replaced my screen, but had a replacement screen/digitizer with the frame. Also, I did not have a heat gun available. The trickiest part was to get the battery out without heat. I ended up using the can opener/flat head screw driver of my Victorinox Swiss Army knife to get the battery out very carefully. Also, I used the Swiss Army knife’s minuscule flat-head screw driver (that sits in the corkscrew) to get the little components like vibrator motor, cameras and power/volume buttons out. Be careful to transfer all components from your old to your new frame. A few parts are not mentioned in this guide, like the various gaskets at the top as well as the notification LED at the bottom or the power and volume buttons. As mentioned, it is possible to do this without a heat gun - if you have a replacement screen that comes with the frame.

Schorschi - 回复

Really disappointed that there is no replacement guide for people who purchase the frame along with the LCD display screen. OR at least some sort of buyers guide that tells you the difference between purchasing the frame and just purchasing the LCD display screen.
