Introduction
Want to know the pieces that drive this phone or just want to know how to disassemble it? This guide is for you!
Now, let's go!
Ce dont vous avez besoin
-
-
Released in 2012 as the best phone in the L series (the other phones were L3, L5 and L7)
-
This phone exists in different versions : the P760 (this one), the P765 (for India), P768 (for America - and a 8 MP camera) and P769.
-
The specs of this phone :
-
CPU: Cortex A9 (dual-core @ 1 GHz)
-
RAM: 1 GB (0.75 GB according to the phone)
-
Storage: 4 GB (2.3 GB usable) + micro-SD
-
Screen: 4.7" IPS, 540x960.
-
OS: Android 4.1.2 (for the latest version - 4.2 with Cyanogen 10.1.2)
-
-
-
To access to the battery: easy: let it drop or lift with your thumbnails the rear cover.
-
The battery can be removed the same way (dropping the phone is not a good idea...)
-
The battery has a capacity of 2150 mAh. Not that bad but it runs out quite quickly (good point: the battery is removable)
-
-
-
Let's begin the fun part: with a screwdriver, let's remove the three Philips screws.
-
Keep the screws on a magnet not to lose them (or two: there are two types of screws in this phone: the little short and the little long screws)
-
This part can be lifted easily (eg: insert a flat screwdriver on the top of the part)
-
-
-
Now, to access to the motherboard and to the connectors, you are at 7 screws from it!
-
With a spudger (or something flat - NOT a flat screwdriver), pry the glossy part and separate it from the rest of the phone.
-
As a rule of thumb, a rule is somehow effective!
-
-
-
-
To proceed, detach the antenna and the connector.
-
Then, the tedious part: the board is glued to the case! Proceed wit care not to break the card (by taking the part and with a spudger).
-
We can note the presence of the (little) microphone. This board gathers the connectors for the vibrator, the speaker, the micro USB and the antenna. This part is quite important!
-
-
-
Now, the (dual-)core of the phone: the motherboard. LG was good for the board: almost everything is linked by connectors, easily removable!
-
Let's continue our dissasembly by disconnecting the four remaining ribbons:
-
The digitizer
-
The screen
-
The rear camera
-
The front camera and the proximity sensor
-
The antenna. Useful if the antenna was torn because it is easily replaceable!
-
Is it me or the phone includes a second antenna for dual-SIM models?
-
-
-
The most interesting part for a fragile phone: the digitizer.
-
Little by little, with a spudger, the both parts start separating... Be careful though!
-
-
-
The rear camera is glued to the naked phone. A flat screwdriver and the camera is gone!
-
-
-
The female Jack connector is not soldered at all! Only on its place, with the four connectors touching thr motherboard.
