HTC Excalibur Motherboard Replacement

Remove the rubber screw covers. If needed, use a thin object to help pry them off. There should be two of them on top of the phone. Skip this step if already removed.

Pry loose the metal cover near the camera lens.

Remove the battery cover.

Gripping the battery by the bottom, lift and remove it from the phone.

After removing the rubber stoppers on top, there should be six exposed screws. Remove these using the T6 screwdriver.

Next, use the spudger to loosen the case underneath the shiny metal edge. Go all the way around the phone until completely loosened.

After loosening the case, remove it.

Remove the one remaining screw in the logic board.

Unclip the wire that connects the back of the case to the logic board.

On the left side of the phone, there are three copper colored clips.

Unclip the bottom clip, thread the middle one through the logic board, and pull the top one out gently.

You can then lift the logic board out of the phone.

Do this at an angle, lifting the side to the right of the SIM card instructions.
