HTC One X Repair Guide:

 First, use a safe open pry tool to begin releasing the back housing. Start at the bottom of the
device and work your way around the edges, applying pressure to pop the case off. With all 3 sides
released you can pull the device from the back cover. Be cautious as the battery is often adhered
to the housing and will need to be removed with the rest of the device.
 Once the back cover had been removed, we can now remove the small plastic housing located
near the camera. Used Small Phillips screwdriver then remove the five (5) screws shown in red on
figure 1.

 There will be one (1) more small Phillips screws that will be located at the bottom of the
motherboard, near the battery, that will need to be removed.
 Start releasing all the connections located on the motherboard. Release the single pop connector
and jaw connector located on the top of the motherboard (shown in orange in figure 1).
 Release the power button flex cable and volume button flex cable from the housing. These will be
lightly adhered to the housing (shown in green in figure 1).
 You can now lightly lift the motherboard up, being careful as it is still attached with flex cables. The
battery can also be swung out, revealing two (2) more connection on the skinny part of the
motherboard. Release these two connections and remove the motherboard and battery from the
device (shown in figure 2).

 Use a heat gun or hair dryer to start warming the front of the screen assembly. Work around the
outside edges of the screen on medium heat for about 45 seconds. This will soften the adhesive
holding the screen assembly to the housing.
 Once the screen is properly heated you can use a safe open pry tool to being lifting the screen
assembly away from the housing. Be sure to lift both screens out at the same time.
 After the screens are partially released, be sure the flex cables are fed through the housing.
Remove the screen assembly.
 Use the heat gun or hair dryer again to warm the seal between the touch screen and LCD screen.
Use quick movements for about 30 seconds. Once this is complete, use a safe open pry tool to
carefully separate the screens.
 You can now replace the touch screen digitizer or LCD screen.
