Disassembly/Repair of the mobile device Yandex.Phone with each step description and the required set of tools.

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.

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.

ℹ️ 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 the 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.

⚠️ Pay attention! The body of the fingerprint sensor is slightly glued to the back cover.

Using a screwdriver (Phillips 1.5 mm PH #000), unscrew the six screws.

Pry over the edge and turn over the cover with antenna tracks.

After, disconnect the connector of the fingerprint sensor cable. Try to lift the cover by the edges and not push anything between them to not accidentally touch or short-circuit anything on the circuit board.

Disconnect the battery connector. The battery model of Yandex.Phone is the same.

We strongly recommend disconnecting the connector to avoid a possible short circuit during disassembly.
