  11. 11

    Disconnect the main interconnect cable

    1 min

    Use the edge of a spudger to unclip the main interconnect flex cable press connector from the charging daughterboard.

    1 min

    Gently pry up the antenna cable connector head from its socket on the corner of the charging board using precision tweezers.

  13. 13

    Remove the damaged charging daughterboard

    2 min

    Slide an opening pick under the charging daughterboard to separate it from the chassis adhesive, then lift the board out.

  14. 14

    Position the new charging daughterboard

    2 min

    Set the new charging port sub-board into its designated recess at the bottom of the frame and press lightly until it rests flush.

  15. 15

    Reconnect the antenna coaxial cable

    1 min

    Align the antenna cable connector head precisely over its board socket and press down vertically until it snaps into place.

  16. 16

    Reconnect the main interconnect cable

    1 min

    Align the main flex connector over the new board's socket and press straight down until you feel a firm click.
