Samsung Impression Circuit Board Replacement

Orient the phone with the screen facing down.

Using your thumb, slide the back panel away from the camera to expose the battery.

Grip the battery on its sides, opposite the direction of the white arrow.

Pry the battery up. It will pivot at the end with the white arrow. The battery will now be free.

Remove the six 3.5 mm screws using a Phillips #000 screwdriver.

Remove the back cover by gently prying around the top and bottom edges with a nylon spudger.

The side buttons will become loose and are prone to falling out, so put these in a safe place.

Remove the back speaker by carefully lifting it up.

The speaker will still be attached to the circuit board by a wire and a small piece of clear plastic.

Disconnect the speaker by lifting the clear plastic piece at the end of the wire.

To free the circuit board, remove the black wire that is holding it down.

The circuit board will still be held on by a blue and black ribbon that is removed by gently pulling it upwards.
