Huawei Ascend P6-U06 Motherboard Replacement

Difficulty

Moderate

Steps

Time Required

25 - 35 minutes

Introduction

Replace the motherboard to give your phone a fresh start.

Tools

Step 1

Pull and twist the pin near the bottom left-side of the phone to remove it from the headphone jack.

Step 2

Insert the pin into the SIM card opening located on the right-side of the phone.
Gently push in until the SIM card clicks, and then pull the pin and SIM card out.
Repeat this process for the additional SIM card.

Step 3

Firmly push down on the black plastic covering at the bottom of the phone, and pull down.
You may need a sharp thin object to get underneath the plastic.

Step 4

Rotate the phone 180 degrees so that the bottom of the phone is now facing up.
Firmly push up on the back panel with your thumbs.
Lift up the back panel from the top right corner and gently pull it away from the phone.

Step 5

Remove the following screws securing the logic board to the main frame:
Five 2mm Phillips #000 screws
Two 2.5mm Phillips #000 screws

To replace the battery only the two orange 2.5mm screws need to be removed in this step.

Step 6

Push down the yellow plastic lining at the top of the battery and remove the two 2.5mm Phillips #000 screws.

Step 7

Use the flat end of a spudger to gently snap open the first clip located on the the right arm of the retaining plate.
Use the flat end of a spudger to gently snap the second clip located on the left arm of the retaining plate.
Use the flat end of a spudger to gently lift the upper retaining plate from the phone.

Step 8

Use the pointy end of a spudger to pry the antenna connector off of its socket.
Upon reassembly, you will hear a "click" that indicates the pin has been properly reconnected.

Step 9

Use the pointy end of a spudger to gently pry the following connectors out of their sockets:
silver LCD cable connector
silver Headphone jack cable connector

Step 10

Use the pointy end of a spudger to gently pry the following connectors out of their sockets.
Sliver Micro-USB cable connector
Copper battery cable connector

Step 11

Be careful not to bend, puncture, or crush the battery, even if it is being replaced. The battery can potentially release toxic and flammable chemicals.
Use a plastic opening tool to gently lift up the battery from the bottom end.
You may need to loosen the adhesive under the battery with slow sawing motions.

Step 12

Remove the two 2mm Phillips #000 screws securing the copper flex cable to the silver metal tab.
The screw on the left has white paint on the top. Chipping the paint will void any warranty you have for your phone.

In my new Back Battery cover case there is no possibility to screwing the silver metal tab with these 2 screws to securing the copper flex cable . I only can put the silver metal tab with adhesives (double side tape)

Step 13

Wedge the flat end of a spudger underneath the bottom left of the metal tab.
Run the spudger along the bottom edge of the metal tab and gently pry upward.
Adhesive under the metal tab will make lifting the tab slightly tedious. The adhesive will come off as long as you gently run the spudger along the bottom of the tab.

Step 14

Gently lift the flex cable from the top-right corner.
Do not use excessive force when removing the flex cable. Doing so may tear the cable.

This assumes that you have a replacement flex cable.

Step 15

Use tweezers to lift the rubber alignment tab out of its frame.

Step 16

Use the pointy end of a spudger to wedge underneath the black circular vibrator motor near the bottom right of the phone.
Slowly lift up to separate the black circular vibrator motor from the adhesive.
The vibrator motor will remain connected to the motherboard by two red and black wires.
Be careful not to tear the red and black wires. If damaged, they will require soldering.

Step 17

Hold down the bottom left corner of the motherboard and slowly lift the right side out of the main frame.
Gently wiggle the logic board to release it from the phone.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

My Huawei p6 suddenly doesn't unlock when I put in my PIN. Also no matter how many numbers I write when it asks me for the PIN, it never is enough. Would replacing the motherboard or any part of the phone help me unlock my phone? I don't know why all of a sudden this happened. I still get notifications while the phone is on and locked but can't enter the phone.
