HTC U Play Teardown Repair Guide Steps:

Step 1

Step 2 (HTC U Play SIM card and microSD card tray)

• Eject the SIM card and microSD Card tray.

Step 3 (HTC U Play Rear Glass Panel)

• The HTC U Play rear glass panel is glued on solidly. Apply heat to soften the adhesive.

• Use a triangle opening tool to attack the adhesive and dislodge the rear panel from the phone.

Step 4 (HTC U Play Motherboard)

• Use the flat end of the spudger to pry up the plastic shields that cover the motherboard and daughterboard.

• Spudge the HTC U Play battery connector up from the board.

• Remove the following Phillips screw.

• Detach the bevy of cables from the HTC U Play motherboard.

• Carefully pry the motherboard up and out of the phone.

Step 5 (HTC U Play Proximity Sensor and Ambient Light Board, Rear-Facing Camera, and Front-Facing Camera)

• Pop off the small board that includes the proximity sensor and ambient light.

• Extricate the 16-megapixel HTC U Play rear-facing camera from the motherboard.

• Remove the impressive 16-megapixel HTC U Play front-facing selfie camera.

Step 6 (HTC U Play Loudspeaker and USB-C Daughterboard)

• Remove the small metal bracket and then use the spudger to disconnect the flock of cables from the daughterboard.

• Use the tweezers to free the vibrator from the adhesive securing it in place.

• Pry the HTC U Play daughterboard up from the midframe. It includes the USB-C connector, vibrator, a microphone, spring contacts, and some control hardware.

Step 7 (HTC U Play Battery)

• The HTC battery is well wedged and adhered in place. Use a spudger to help free it from the adhesive securing it to the midframe.

Step 9 (HTC U Play Display Assembly)

• Peel the tape and Interconnect cables off the frame.

• The 5.2-inch HTC U Play display assembly is glued solidly to the frame. Apply heat to soften the adhesive.

• Use the precision knife to create enough space to insert a playing card.

• Use the playing card to slice through the sticky adhesive. Take your time and apply additional heat as needed.

• Once you have sliced through the adhesive, be mindful of the display cable when decoupling the HTC U Play screen from the midframe.
