    • Gently twist the opening tool to disconnect the clips securing the top of the rear case.

  12. Samsung Galaxy S III Front-Facing Camera Replacement, Plastic Midframe: passo 12, imagem 1 %32
    • Remove the ten 4.0 mm Phillips screws securing the midframe to the front panel assembly.

    What would you use to remove the screws

    Curt the heneke - Responder

    I used both P#000 and J#00 precision bits to good effect. I tend to prefer the Japanese Standard bits in place of Philips, as the JIS bits seem not to cam out and strip screws as easily.

    • Grasp the left side of the plastic midframe with your thumb and forefinger and lift it away from the phone.

    • The midframe lightly snaps in place, and can be removed with very little force.

    There's another piece of the frame that needs to be taken out, but it doens't come out as nicely... unless I did something wrong. It's the part that covers the speaker. I couldn't find a nice way of taking it out.

    I had to use a guitar-pick to pry that section off of the frame. Start at the front-facing camera edge and run the pick underneath the plastic cover. The catches should release.

    Takashi Alekseev - Responder

    I used a pointed prying too to get it started, then the flat one. It took some fiddling but finally came off nicely.

    READ ME!

    For a guide that takes you step by step on how to remove the SIM and microSD, I'm surprised they didn't mention the top part of this midframe (still attached, in the pictures). This top part of the midframe also needs to be removed before you can take out the motherboard.

    You need to disconnect a ribbon not listed in these directions first, then pry that midframe up with the help of a guitar pick. This ribbon is located by the back-camera, next to the digitizer ribbon. This ribbon is connected to the midframe so it is essential you disconnect this before lifting the frame up.

    The frame is really snapped in there so don't be afraid to use a little force - for reference, you will use more force to pull this frame off than you did to pull off the back-cover of the phone. Once this piece is off, your phone should look like the picture in step 14.

    • Use a plastic opening tool to pry the rear-facing camera connector up from its socket on the motherboard.

    • Make sure you are prying on the connector and not the socket, or you may damage the motherboard.

    This is not a rear facing camera connector. This is the connector for the lHeadphone Jack/Speaker Assembly

  17. Samsung Galaxy S III Front-Facing Camera Replacement, Motherboard Assembly: passo 17, imagem 1 %32
    • Use a plastic opening tool to pry the front-facing camera connector from its socket on the motherboard.

    • Do not try to remove the front-facing camera just yet. Its cable is still routed beneath the motherboard assembly to the ambient light sensor.

  18. Samsung Galaxy S III Front-Facing Camera Replacement: passo 18, imagem 1 %32 Samsung Galaxy S III Front-Facing Camera Replacement: passo 18, imagem 2 %32
    • Disconnect the digitizer cable by gently prying its connector up from its socket on the motherboard.

    Step 18 says the front digitizer connector, but later calls it the earpiece/buttons/ambient light sensor ribbon cable.

    Is the Digitizer connector part of the display connector, or is it elsewhere?

    It's the volume and speaker

    • Pry the Wi-Fi antenna cable connector up from its socket on the motherboard.

    • Gently move the cable out of the way of the motherboard.

    Be very careful,as it is very easy to break the connector off the motherboard.

    vjmickelson - Responder

    Has anyone tried just folding the motherboard back to the left after removing all the screws WITHOUT disconnecting the wi-fi antenna? I'm just a little worried about this one step.

    Cullen Johnson - Responder

    Folding the motherboard back without disconnecting the WiFi antenna worked for me! :)

    Alec -

    I broke the WiFi antenna connector bit off motherboard. How do I fix it?

    • Carefully lift the bottom of the motherboard assembly away from the front panel assembly.

    • Remove the motherboard assembly from the front panel assembly, minding any cables that may snag on it.

    When reassembling your device, there can be a problem with connecting display data cable to the motherboard. I fixed display data cable on the motherboard before mounting motherboard: it gave me some freedom and simplified positioning of data cable on the motherboard

    fomondik - Responder

    If I am not mistaking, there is a screw also on the motherboard needs to be removed before removing motherboard from the assembly
