Rear Cover

There are two front grills on either side of the

smartphone’s display. The grills are secured in place

with a small amount of adhesive.

Use a heat gun or blow dryer to soften the adhesive.

This will make it easier to remove the grills from the

M8.

Insert the sharp edge of the precision knife in the gap

between the HTC One (M8) display assembly and the

first (top) grill.

Use the precision knife to carefully lift the grill from its

adhesive. Continue the same process to remove the

second (bottom) grill.

Now, locate and remove the two small Phillips screws

(#00) that secure the display assembly to the body of the

smartphone (marked with orange circles).

Next, locate and remove the four torx screws (T5) on

the other side of the M8 that also secure the display

assembly to the body/housing of the smartphone

(marked with orange circles).

Insert the precision knife between the rear cover and

the M8’s display assembly to free the first of many clips

that secure the LCD and touch screen assembly in

place.

Once there is separation between the rear cover and

display assembly, use the triangle plastic opening tool

to work around the perimeter of the smartphone until

the rear cover is completely removed.

First, locate and remove the two small Phillips screws

(#00) that secure the connection for the battery terminal

(marked with solid orange circles).

Next, locate and remove the two coaxial cable connec-

tions that are also secured to the motherboard (marked

with open orange circles).

There are two pieces of protective tape over the top of

the motherboard. Use the heat gun to help soften and

peel up the tape.

Now, locate and remove the three T5 torx screws that

secure the motherboard down to the center of the M8.

(marked with solid orange circles).

Next, locate and remove the three coaxial cable

connections. There are two near the rear-facing camera

and the one by the loudspeaker (marked with open

orange circles).

Six locking sockets secure the motherboard’s ribbon

cables in place. Release their locks by flipping the

opposite side of the ribbon cable up 90 degrees, and

then gently slide the cables out their sockets (marked

with orange rectangles).

the cables and tape so that no damage occurs.

Next, remove the remainder of tape that is protecting

the ribbon cables on the smartphone. Use heat, if

necessary, to make it easier to remove the tape.

11.

Do not forget about the volume rocker portion of the

ribbon cable, and be careful not to damage it when

removing the remaining tape (marked with orange

arrow).
