LG V10 Motherboard Replacement
Power off the LG V10 completely before attempting repairs.
- Verify the phone is not charging by trying with a known functional charger.
- If the device does not turn on or enters an infinite boot loop, proceed to motherboard replacement.
Step 1 | Battery
Insert the flat end of a plastic spudger between the back cover and the charging port.
- For the spudger, position it between the metal lining of the charging port and the back cover.
- Lift up gently on the spudger or with your finger to release the back cover.
- The rest of the back cover should easily slide off by inserting a finger or the spudger under its edge and working around the sides.
Step 2
Pry the battery out by inserting your finger into the impression next to it, or use the flat end of a spudger.
Step 3 | Motherboard
- Remove the fourteen 3.175 mm screws using a screwdriver with a J000 Phillips bit.
- Pry the back panel up starting from the sides of the battery slot using a plastic opening tool.
Careful not to damage surrounding components, use plastic tweezers to release any remaining clips holding the panel in place.
- Pry the panel up around the sides and set it aside next to the fingerprint sensor and camera lens.
Step 4
Disconnect the connectors carefully with a plastic spudger, using its flat end to wedge them away from the motherboard.
- Pry the motherboard out from the plastic holder using plastic tweezers.
