Step 2. Remove the tray
Use the ejection tool (aka Needle) or Paperclip. Push the tip all the way into the hole until the tray ejects, and then pull the tray of SIM and Memory card (Micro SD) out.
⚠️ Pay attention! The tool must be inserted into a hole on the edge of the phone's housing. Do not press too hard. It may break the tray eject mechanism.
Step 3. Open the back cover
We recommend using a special heating device such as a separator machine, heat gun, or heating mat. It will simplify the process. You can use a home hairdryer, but you will have to make a nozzle by hand or have a suitable one in the kit to gently heat and concentrate the heat flow in the right place.
ℹ️️ The surface of the back cover must be heated to soften the adhesive underneath. The approximate heating temperature is 50° C / 125° F.
Use a thin plastic film or pick for separation. To facilitate the process, you can use isopropyl alcohol. It is often most difficult to pass the tool between the parts to be divided. Choose the far edge from the FFC cables or buttons.
Do not use a lever or any force for separation that could damage the elements inside.
Step 4. Unscrew the screws
Using a screwdriver (Phillips 1.5 mm PH000), unscrew 18 screws. There are black long screws and silver short screws. Pay attention!
ℹ️️ Be sure to note the location of the screws before disassembling. When assembling the device, screwing the screw in the wrong place may damage the device or its part. To avoid damage, the removed screws and individual pieces (as gaskets or brackets) must be laid out in the appropriate order, or the screws and their holes in the phone must be marked with colored markers.
Step 5. Open the middle cover
Carefully remove the middle cover. It is on the clips, may hold tight.
Step 6. Remove the battery
Pry up the connector and remove the battery. The battery holds on adhesive. Under the battery is an inter-board cable, so be careful when prying.
ℹ️️ The Lenovo ZUK Z2 Pro model has a battery BL263 with 3100 mAh capacity (aka rechargeable battery).
Step 9. Unscrew the screws
Using a screwdriver (Philips 1.5 mm PH000), unscrew one large black screw and two silver screws securing the motherboard.
Step 12. Remove the motherboard
Carefully remove the motherboard. Better to start at the end of the flat cable because on the end are the charging port, headphone jack socket, microphone. Also, there is a thin connection to the microphone and headphone jack socket. Be careful peeling off the cable!
Step 13. Remove the daughterboard
Disconnect the connector and remove the flat cable that also serves as a sub-board at the end.
Step 14. Remove the rear camera
Disconnect the connector and remove the rear camera with an integrated small board.
