Friends, I was repairing my ze551ml. Anyway, be VERY careful with the battery. In my case, it was glued with an extremely sticky soft white tape. Because of that, I tore the protective aluminum casing on the battery. It seems to work, but I'm scared it might explode))) Maybe the experts can advise?;-) Huge thanks for the video! Everything is clearly shown. The only difference from how I disassembled it is that I didn't remove the copper "heat spreader" to pull out the display ribbon cable from the side.

+serega kcc Good afternoon, if the can was not damaged, then it's not scary, seal the damaged surface with tape

how do I replace just the glass? I only broke the glass on the phone but it is still responsive.
Answer 😉 280 0
Hello, you can replace just the digitizer (the glass) or module (display + touch screen). But replace the digitizer is very difficult work as it demand special tools and skills as an experience in the work

Ah I see. Because I just ordered only the digitizer and I haven't found any guides to replace it :(

Hi there, do you know where the charging controller is, on the same PCB where the USB is, or on the motherboard? My phone wouldn't charge using any chargers including the original one, only from a USB3 port. Therefore I want to know where the controller is, to replace it

Is there a difference between 550 and 551 for the display and frame?
Answer 😉 279 0
Hello, the displays are different - that's for sure, although the shape is the same, and the bezels are very similar.
Question 🤔 38 0
what about removing the screen at the end (or at least the upper flex cable...)?
Answer 😉 26 0
Hi, often we can't do this. We get these models from our partners. Usually, we have an option in the agreement - don't separate a display from the frame.
