Introduction

Prerequisite step only! Disconnect the battery from the OnePlus 3.

Tools

Spudger

Step 1

Use the point of a spudger to pry up and disconnect the battery connector from its socket, located above the top right corner of the battery pack.
Bend the connector away from the socket to prevent accidental contact.
To re-attach press connectors like this one, carefully align and press down on one side until it clicks into place, then repeat on the other side. Do not press down on the middle. If the connector is misaligned, the pins can bend, causing permanent damage.

Why not removing the camera without removing the mainboard?

Warum wird die rückseitige Kamera nicht ausgebaut, ohne das Mainboard auszubauen?

Hello Ingo,

The rear camera is trapped under the motherboard. You must at least loosen the motherboard to remove the camera.

Die Kamera befindet sich unter dem Motherboard. Sie müssen mindestens das Motherboard lösen, um die Kamera zu entfernen.

During reassembly this part was tricky for me: the new battery couldn’t clip into place the way the old one did, resulting in a loose connection and “battery does not match “ message when trying to power the phone up. The new battery probably had a slightly different connector that than the old one. I even ordered another battery but the same thing happened. I finally managed to connect it by applying much more pressure on the press connector than needed for the other ones. it did not make any clip sound though.
