    • Inserisci uno strumento di estrazione SIM o una graffetta nel foro vicino all'alloggiamento della scheda SIM posizionato appena sotto il pulsante di accensione.

    • Spingi lo strumento nel foro finché non sentirai lo scatto della scheda che esce.

  2. LhjbucVW4KhyyAca

    • Rimuovi delicatamente la scheda SIM con le dita oppure con un paio di pinzette se il vassoio della SIM non è completamente estratto.

    • Quando inserisci di nuovo la scheda SIM, accertati che il chip sia dallo stesso lato della parte posteriore del telefono.

    • Usa uno strumento di apertura in plastica per sganciare le clip nella parte superiore e su ogni lato della cover posteriore.

    • La parte inferiore è fissata con un po' di schiuma adesiva. Dovresti riuscire a liberare completamente la cover posteriore utilizzando un plettro di apertura. I ganci sul bordo inferiore somigliano più a delle cerniere, quindi sgancia tutti gli altri e poi apri la cover dall'alto e verso l'esterno, così da sganciarli senza romperli.

    • È meglio evitare di far leva attorno all'alloggiamento della scheda SIM, perché in questo punto la plastica è molto sottile ed è facile che si rompa se viene forzata.

    • Quando sostituisci la cover, c'è un gancio a scatto circa all'altezza del foro del flash che deve attaccarsi (uno dei tre che fissa la cover posteriore al telaio). Senza, la carica Qi (wireless) potrebbe non funzionare. Applica pressione in modo delicato ma deciso sulla "S" di Nexus, fai scorrere il pollice verso l'alto e il gancio farà presa.

    Wireless QI and NFC.

    Once I have put everything together with the new battery in place, I have as last replaced the plastic back cover, snapping all the clips back around the edges of the phone. Alas, I was quick to realise the QI Wireless charging has ceased to work.

    I almost blamed the battery, or worse, me.

    QUICK TIP: there is actually another clip in the middle of the plastic back cover - just press with your thumb just above the 'S' in NEXUS emblem and, voila! Snaps back in.

    Wireless charge and NFC - works, once again.

    cwioro -

    you just saved me like 30 bucks. thank you so much.

    Robert Nolan -

    + 1, had the same issue and pressing just near the S fixed it! Thanks a lot!

    nicco82 -

    Just a me too, I had to press above the S and it was quite a snap

    Erik Karlin -

    There seems to be two contacts that snap into place. One is in line with the led pretty much in the middle of the phone and the second one in line with the camera lens on the opposite side to the lens. The middle one for me snapped pretty lightly, but the side one required a bit more pressure. After that the nfc started working again. Thanks for posting this!

    Dennis Millner -

    Is it hard to remove the battery door? Worried I might damage it.

    Ash -

    When I openend the back cover I damaged two clips. One about 2.5cm (1 inch) below the volume controls and one on the other side about same height. The cover fits good without those two but on one side there is a small gap where the clip broke. But I have a hard cover protector on my phone so it's not that bad.

    simonlwheeler -

    The case around the sim slot is pretty thin and easy to break, best to avoid using the pry tool at this point.

    Aled Morris -

    Excellent tip, should be included in the main guide.

    fprades -

    Hey Author, i need to ur expert advice...i replaced my nexus 5's back cover. since the new one did not have the vibrators battery i had to take it from the old one and connect it to the new one...on removing i noticed that it was stuck to the cover by a glue

    Question: what glue to use to hold the battery to the cover?

    suwaid akbar -

    Any adhesive will do. I used a hot glue gun. You shouldn't need expert advice to figure that out. Use your head.

    tjt263 -

    The case around the volume control is also pretty thin.... I broke mine prying so avoid the pry there too.

    Also my back had glue at the bottom and I haven't seen mentioned

    • Rimuovi le sei viti Phillips #00 da 4,0 mm che fissano il telaio intermedio al telefono.

    • Accertati di conservare tutte e sei le viti da 4,0 mm! Queste mantengono il telaio intermedio fermo e vicino alla scheda madre. I tre piccoli ganci a scatto sulla cover posteriore che la fissano al telaio assicurano che i connettori di antenna NFC e bobina di ricarica wireless facciano bene contatto con la scheda madre e funzionino al meglio.

    • Per sostituire lo schermo LCD e il digitizer, rimuovi, con lo stesso cacciavite, le altre quattro viti da 4,0 mm della cover della scheda figlia. Potresti dover forare del materiale adesivo trasparente per svitarle.

    I had a bit more success with the Phillips #000.

    Ross Light -

    Step 4 (removing the screws in the protecting plate) needs to happen before Step 2 ( removing the connectors)

    Esteban Valles -

    These were Y0 screws for me.

    Benjamin Hollway -

    Same here, Benjamin

    Ítalo Masserano -

    Me three on the Y-type screw heads.

    Jamoross -

    Same for me. I had more luck with the two screws in the middle with #000.

    • Rimuovi il telaio intermedio dal telefono.

    • Esamina il telaio intermedio e la cover posteriore e troverai tre piccoli ganci a scatto per il retro del telaio intermedio. Questi assicurano che i contatti delle antenne dell'NFC e della ricarica wireless si connettano con i rispettivi connettori a molla sulla scheda madre. Accertati che siano in buone condizioni.

    There's also some adhesive holding the motherboard cover plate in place, below the camera. Has to be pulled a little stronger than expected.

    • Usa uno strumento di apertura in plastica per far leva sotto la batteria ed estrarla dal suo alloggiamento.

    • Potrebbe rendersi necessario l'uso di una pistola termica per applicare una modesta quantità di calore per ammorbidire l'adesivo sotto la batteria.

    • Non forare o piegare la batteria.

    • Se sostituirai la batteria, imballa la vecchia batetria e riciclala in modo responsabile in una location adatta.

    This part is very delicate. The adhesive is pretty solid and I did puncture the battery. It is dangerous and the battery should be replaced with a new one.

    Christophe De Wolf -

    Thanks Chris for the notice. I have added a warning on your advise. Do you think about any better way to unglue the battery?

    Gaetan -

    Like another user, I had already taken my cover off plenty of times prior to. The issue of course was removing the battery. I purchased the opening tools and spudger and used them but to no avail. I ended up using a flat tip screwdriver and got the battery out within seconds with no puncturing.

    gnewton16 -

    I'll second the flathead screwdriver. Tried different plastic tools only to damage both the battery and a spring connector on the phone. With the flathead screwdriver battery came out quite easily lifting from the bottom end. There is an adhesive tape holding the battery firmly in place that retains the adhesive surface after removing the battery, so the new battery should attach properly.

    Dennis Millner -

    Why do you need to remove the battery at all? Just replaced my rear camera without removing it. I mean, I realise that removing the power source would have been safer, but would it be enough just to detach the motherboard connector?

    eyusupov -

    This guide is about the REPLACEMENT of the battery, and for that it seems necessary to remove it first. ;-)

    biharikristof -

    Do you need to apply adhesive to the new battery to keep it in place?

    Ross Light -

    no there is generally glue remaining and it stays in place pretty good

    mmoodley10 -

    This was fantastic, thank you! I had never done anything like this before! You just saved me some money and also taught me something :D

    anagarciasebastia -

    to make Qi work, you have to press the cover really everywhere afterwards. The contacts for Qi are between th Nexus "S" and the camera. Sometimes the Qi loading needs some time to work - I assume the battery needs to expand after a few loading cycles...

    Apeiron -

    The first time I tried to replace the battery I ended up breaking off the tab on the new battery. It needs to be bent properly to fit into the socket on the phone. The second time, I connected the tab t the socket BEFORE placing the new battery into the area of the phone where it sits. Then I was able to use the plastic tool to correctly bend the connector.

    John Goldin -

    I have replaced the battery and after doing this there is a flashing red light. does this mean its just charging from empty or have I done something wrong? Do i need to press any buttons to make sure its charging properly? do i need to re open it up to check connections? what do i do? there is no mention of whether it should turn back on or what it should do/how long it will take to be up and running again.

    Bambipeach -

    I had the same "problem", though I had misplugged the battery. Just wait for a couple of minutes and your phone should start to charge. Also, I've been told to fully charge and discharge the battery 2-3 times before using it.

    Steve Simard -

    Be extremely careful while prying out the battery. I had damaged a Nexus 4 battery while trying to do this, and smoke started coming out. If you search youtube you can see how a punctured Li-ion battery can explode in seconds.

    Abhi B -

    Why not remove the battery by pulling on the small ribbon cable at the top?

    Matt Szczublewski -

    When you take out the battery, there are some sort of black tape (adhesive) around the inner circle of the empty battery chassis. I might have been too rough and taken the black tape out completely. Now with the newly replaced battery, Nexus 5 won't charge or power on. Does anyone know what the black tape is for? is it the reason or something else?

    Gracie -

    I found out that the heavy duty suction cup I bought to replace phone screens works quite effectively at removing the battery without bending or damaging it. Of course, this was being used on a battery that was itself a replacement of the original, so the adhesive may have weakened significantly.

    • Usa una pistola termica e applica con cautela del calore al pannello del digitizer per ammorbidire l'adesivo che lo fissa al telaio.

    • Mantieni la pistola termica a circa 20-25 cm dal dispositivo e applica il calore con movimenti alternati avanti-indietro.

    • Usa una ventosa per carichi elevati e tira con una certa forza lo schermo per staccarlo completamente dal telaio oppure quanto basta per creare una piccola fessura.

    • Il Nexus 5 adotta uno strato di adesivo molto sottile che non richiede troppa forza per essere staccato. Se necessario, applica ulteriore calore per ammorbidire l'adesivo dello schermo.

    • Fai passare, prestando attenzione, il cavo a nastro del digitizer attraverso il telaio.

    The crucial step to glue back the new screen is missing.

    Could you add an equally detailed description of this step ?

    Thanks !

    Anton -

    Thank you. We need this addressed it’s been 3 years.

    Sum Guy -

    I’ll second this request for a detailed description of gluing the new screen.

    Oscar Valdez -

    ^THIS!

    Oscar and Anton are on point.

    I hate your site comment filters and settings too, but just focus on not screwing things up and making pro right to repair people look like jackasses when we have corporate and possibly state sponsored efforts to undermined us already.

    Sum Guy -

    WHAT THE !&&* IS WRONG WITH YOU? Am I just suppose to follow the directions in reverse?!

    Sum Guy -

    I’ll make it easy on the mods, I did a two second google search to find the info and I am linking three videos here, here, and here.

    If you are a mod, make sure the guy in charge of writing these things takes a few minutes out of his day to finish what he started three years ago, and if that is too hard the videos are right here for him to watch and he can just copy what he sees.

    Sum Guy -

    Hello everyone. I proposed some edits to this guide to include the few critical steps consisting of: 1) Cleaning the frame; 2) Applying the screen adhesive; 3) Applying the screen. The remainder of the reassembly can be done quite easily by just following the instructions in reverse. I do not know how quickly my proposed edits will be included in the “Verified Guide”, but you can see browse them in the “unverified version” here. Any feedback over there is of course welcome.

This is a nice guide to understand how to disassemble and assemble your Nexus 5. 95% can be done with this guide.

Tip: read the comments!

My own tips are:

1) Search for instructions how to use glue or double sided adhesive tape. It's a must if you want succesfully put everything back together

2) You need to transfer the speaker protection from the inside of the glass to the new glass

3) The same needs to be done with with a white rectangle. It has something to do with your LED-light at the bottom.

Saw these tips in this YouTube video https://youtu.be/jQS618ayL5w

Jeroen Meyer -

Thanks for the extra tips, Jeroen! These two steps can be found at 2:50 of the video for those who want to skip right to it. ;)

We do supply the tape as well: Tesa 61395 Tape

By the way, does the guy in this video remind anyone else of Thrawn from Star Wars Rebels (aka Lars Mikkelsen?)

Richard -

Hey, what size do I need for the tape? Is the mm size referring to width or thickness?

I assume it’s width and I need 1mm or 2mm to repair my Nexus 5, but which one?

Carsten Pfeifer -

I need a little help with this tutorial. I’ve bought a second hand N5 where someone replaced the screen, now the display lifts off slightly in the bottom left corner of the device. Pushing it back will only hold it in for a few minutes. Should I slide a tiny piece of double-sided adhesive tape underneath, or rather some modelmaking glue?

Ste Se -

The new screen is not adhered as the old one was.. not sure what I would use for that. Not terribly important for me since it sits 99% flush, and lives in an enclosed case, but the guide should probably mention this.

Kristen McWilliam -

there is no reason to fully disassemble your phone just to replace the screen all you have to do is pull off the back pannel unscrew the speaker/mic housing assembly then take it off, dissconnect the screen connector under that and lift out the little breakout board where all the connections to the phone go at this point pry off the bad screen and put in a new one plug it in and glue it down with something like rubber cement reassemble and done. I have done this about 50 times with my nexus 5. I refuse to be careful with my phone.

Christopher Deming -

note: do not use super glue to glue in your screen, you want something rubber cementy because it will hold your screen good but it can be peeled away, and any excess is easally removed. I personally use Loctite “flexable adhesive” for “ vinyl fabric & plastic”.

I like to put it under some slightly heavy books wile it drys

Christopher Deming -

oh and don’t forget your speaker grill for the phone speaker

Christopher Deming -

Is it possible to replace the digitizer and re-use the factory screen? The screen on my phone is perfect with no scratches or cracks and I would hate to replace it with some knock-off glass. My phone just randomly stopped responding to touches but is otherwise pretty mint for being so old.

Michael Guy -

Do NOT use the ifixit display adhesive to attempt this repair, not only are there no instructions, it is really easy to remove the aluminum foil which is responsible for the backlight. I nearly destroyed my new display digitizer trying to attempt this repair. Get some epoxy from home depot, don’t waste your time
