Disassembly/Repair of the mobile device Sony Xperia Z3v (Sony Xperia Z3v D6708) with each step description and the required set of tools.

⚠️ Before disassembling, do not forget to turn your phone off.

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.

Open the hatch hiding the tray of the SIM cards, and remove it.

Disconnect the battery connector as soon as possible.

ℹ️️ The Sony Xperia Z3v D6708 model has a battery LIS1543ERPC with 3200 mAh capacity (aka rechargeable battery).

⚠️ It is highly recommended to disconnect the connector to avoid possible short circuits during disassembly.

Also, try not to use a metal tool to disconnect the rechargeable battery connector or do it carefully.

Using a screwdriver (Torx T4), unscrew two screws.

Disconnect the connectors of the coaxial cable, vibration motor wires, on the daughterboard.

⚠️ 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).

Carefully remove the assembly of the loudspeaker, vibration motor.

Carefully remove the cover with a small board.

Using a screwdriver (Torx T4), unscrew two screws.

Remove the battery.

The process can be seen in our video entirely and in detail at the end of the instructions.

Using screwdrivers (Phillips 1.5 mm PH000) and (Torx T4), unscrew two screws. Remove covers for microphone and antennas.

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.

Pry up the connector and remove the rear camera.

Pry up the connectors of the display module cable, headphone jack socket, and coaxial cable.

⚠️ 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.

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.

⚠️ 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.

Pry up the connector and remove the front (selfie) camera.
