OnePlus Nord N200 I/O Board Replacement

May need significant force — risk of damage or injury.

• Insert a Jimmy into the seam between rear glass and midframe at phone's bottom edge.
• Hold Jimmy in place for several seconds to prevent adhesive from resealing.

A thin slicing tool, such as a Jimmy, is required due to suction tool limitations on smooth surfaces.

Insert a iFixit opening pick into the gap.

• Slide the Jimmy around the phone to slice the adhesive.
• Insert a second iFixit opening pick at the sliced spot.

• Use an iFixit opening pick to slide along the top edge, slicing the adhesive.
• Pry the back plate away from the phone.

Remove the back cover.

Remove the midframe using a Phillips #00 screwdriver. You will need to remove sixteen 3.6 mm-long screws.

Look carefully for an orange circle, which represents a hidden screw that also needs to be removed.

• Use the Phillips #00 screwdriver to loosen and remove all seventeen screws (including the hidden one).

Insert the Jimmy gently to create a gap between the midframe and top components.

• Slide an opening pick along the edge of the midframe to cut the adhesive.
• Pry off the midframe using the Jimmy.

Use your hands to carefully pry open the midframe.

• Be cautious when removing the back tray as the fingerprint reader cable is still connected.

• Take care not to damage the fingerprint reader cable — risk of physical harm and potential repair issues.

• Pull the midframe away from the phone and set it aside.

Insert a spudger or opening tool under the fingerprint cable connector's edge.

• Pry straight up on the spudger to disconnect the fingerprint cable connector.
• Move the fingerprint reader cable and the midframe to the side.

Remove the midframe.

Disconnect the charger to avoid damaging your phone.

• Apply a spudger/pick under the battery connector's edge and pry straight up.
• Pry carefully under the connector edge, not the socket on the board.
• Avoid prying near small surface-mounted components.

To reconnect:

• Align the connector over its socket and press down with your fingertip-first on one side, then the other.
• The connection should click into place. Do not force it.
• On wider connectors, align carefully to avoid pin damage or bending.

Insert an iFixit opening pick under the speaker assembly.

• Lift up the iFixit opening pick to pull out the speaker assembly from its tray.
• The speaker assembly should come out easily. If not, check for any remaining screws.

Disconnect the speaker wires from the circuit board.

• Remove the speaker screws using a flathead screwdriver.
• Carefully lift out the speaker assembly from its housing.

Risk of damage to socket or board if prying is not done correctly.

• Place a spudger under the edge of the battery connector and pry straight up to disconnect.
• Pry directly on the edge of the connector, not the surrounding socket.
• Be careful not to damage small surface-mounted components near the board.

Risks breaking the socket if lifted improperly.

• Slide a thin ESD-safe pry tool or angled tweezers under the metal neck of the black coaxial cable connector.
• Lift straight up from the board, as close to the head as possible.

Disconnect the black coaxial connector first for safety.

Avoid prying at an odd angle — risk of breaking the socket.

• Use a thin ESD-safe pry tool or angled tweezers under the metal neck and lift straight up.
• To reconnect, hold the connector with tweezers over its socket and press down gently with your finger or a spudger.
• If it doesn't snap into place, reposition the head and try again.

  Do not force the connector — risk of permanent damage.

Insert an iFixit opening pick under either side of the I/O board.

• Use the opening pick or a spudger to pry under the I/O board.
• Remove the I/O board from the case.

Disconnect and remove the I/O board.
