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.
â ī¸ 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.
âšī¸ī¸ 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 5. Open the cover
Remove the cover with antennas. The cover protects the printed circuit board (PCB). Try to lift the cover by the edges and not push anything between them to not accidentally touch or short-circuit anything on the PCB.
Step 6. Disconnect the battery connector
Disconnect the battery connector as soon as possible.
âšī¸ī¸ The Realme X2 Pro RMX1931 model has a battery BLP749 with two tanks with 2000 mAh capacity each (aka rechargeable battery).
â ī¸ It is highly recommended to disconnect the connector to avoid possible short circuits during disassembly.
Also, try not to use a metal tool so far as we disconnect the second battery connector at Step 11. We come across for the last time, in some new models, the battery with two tanks. Maybe the two tanks design is a fast charging solution.
Step 9. Remove the charging port
Carefully, preferably from the edge, disconnect the connectors and remove the inter-board cable with the charging port connecting the mainboard to the daughterboard (also known as the sub-board).
â ī¸ Be careful when removing the cables from the connectors. The cables are pretty thin, and it is easy enough to break them or damage the contact tracks inside.
âšī¸ī¸ An arrow on the FFC cable (flexible flat cable) indicates its correct position.
Step 10. Unscrew one screw
Using a screwdriver (Philips 1.5 mm PH000), unscrew one screw securing the sub-board.
Step 11. Disconnect the connectors
Disconnect two coaxial cables connectors, inter-board cable connector, fingerprint sensor connector, second battery connector on the daughterboard.
â ī¸ Do not pull on the cable or pry it with a sharp tool. The connectors are pretty weak and break easily, or the cable falls out of the end (lug).
Step 12. Remove the daughterboard
Remove the sub-board. It is glued to the frame with metalized tape, so to facilitate the process, the sub-board can be heated a bit.
âšī¸ī¸ The sub-board contains a microphone, headphone jack socket, spring contacts for the speaker, and an antenna unit.
â ī¸ It is not necessary to insert the tool underneath when removing the sub-board. Internal components could be damaged.
Step 13. Unscrew one screw
Using a screwdriver (Philips 1.5 mm PH000), unscrew one screw securing the motherboard.
Step 14. Disconnect the connectors
Pry up the connectors for the display module cable, inter-board cable, and three coaxial cables.
â ī¸ Be careful when removing the cables from the connectors. The cables are pretty thin, and it is easy enough to break them or damage the contact tracks inside.
Step 15. Remove the cameras
Pry up the connectors and remove assembly of four rear cameras and one front (selfie) camera. Be careful! The cameras are glued to the display module frame.
Step 16. Remove the motherboard
Carefully remove the printed circuit board. There is no need to use a lever or try to reach the board by force. Make sure that nothing is getting in the way or holding the board.
â ī¸ Do not bend the circuit board when removing it or push tools under it. Unbeknownst to yourself, you can damage components or cables from the inside.
Step 17. In the display frame remained
âšī¸ī¸ In the display frame remained: the earpiece speaker, battery, vibration motor, coaxial cables.
