@@victorrumyantsev3718 According to the UL database, the 5 II retains 89%-90% of its 3DMark Wild Life series score over a 20-minute continuous run, compare that against 68%-82% of the SDM 865+ Note20 Ultra or 74%-77% of the iPhone 12. Doesn't sound like there's a problem to me
Hey do u have to take the whole phone apart just to replace glass on front screen..not digitizer just glass....I can just heat that off off digitizer and replace with new glasses and glue right?
Great guide, very helpful to see all the steps involved. I tore down my phone to replace the entire frame with screen and the battery. However when I removed the plastic cover like at 0:40 there is a tiny piece of adhesive on the back which when removing the cover ripped the metal heatspreader off the pcb. To put it back on I used some tiny dabs of thermal glue on the chips and precisely aligned it back how it was. Phone works just fine.
No problem. You can remove the back plate and remove the speaker assembly along with the vibrator motor and small board to gain access to the screen cable to disconnect it so then you can pry your screen off. You don't need to disassemble the motherboard portion on top if your doing a screen replacement.
@@Ashfaaqx yea but its not that difficult honestly. It may be a few more steps compared to them having a charger port board on the bottom that could be easier to replace but the fact that the battery comes with those pull tabs, it makes it much easier. Plus the flex cable for the charger port is not adhered/glued down to the midframe and comes off easy.
2:33 the notification light is that damn small and yet hardly any phones use it? Dumb. Lets make these phones big as a brick and keep removing things. Great concept.
Same here, 1 green line after 1 year and 2 more in the following year (3 in 2 years), fortunately it was still guaranteed It's coming back from warranty tomorrow, I hope this problem doesn't come back because it's a great phone for all tasks and daily life 😊

Xperia 5 II vs 10 III in terms of rigidity? Bigger frames sould help with the screen durability. 10 III seems ideal for me, but the lack of stereo speakers is awfull.
Hi! I broke my back glass today and really liked your tutorial here. Do you know where I can buy the back glass as enduser to replace it by myself? Thanks in advance and keep up the good work. :)
Hi, Thanks. Here is a link, and if it doesn't come with adhesive you can watch my video on how to replace adhesive. www.ebay.com/itm/A-New-Battery-Housing-glass-Door-Back-Cover-Replacement-For-Sony-Xperia1-ii-5G/274662630011?hash=item3ff32b227b:g:wg8AAOSwPDVgEkHl
The headphone jack does seem to use quite a bit of real estate as many of those phone manufacturers are claiming. I'm not surprised that other manufacturers are removing it, especially when many of the newer smartphone chips are demanding more real estate for bigger chips and better cooling. However, I would gladly sacrifice one or two of those cameras for a headphone jack. But then, who would buy a flagship smartphone with flagship prices that doesn't have one of those top end cameras. Ah well... I hope the headphone jack stays in future iterations of this phone, it's the main reason I bought it.
@@PBKreviews Carrying a dongle around feels dumb for me, why don't just have it in the phone... This might be one of the last flagships with a headphone jack unless Sony sticks with it in the future (and I hope they do, it's very useful for audiophiles and photographer nerds)
@@virusrhino5399 true but you can always just leave the adapter connected to the end of your earphones or headphones since your going to be carrying that with you if you plan to use it. Also since everything is going wireless they consider that as a second option. Only other thing I can think of is one less way of water or dust getting into the phone so makes it easier to make them resistant to water with one less hole to plug up
See for me ile sacrifice the camera for a better dac chip but that's me the chip in this phone sounds great but if sony eventually ditches it to follow the other trends then ile most likely buy a walkman and a better dac amp Cheap walkman nw-a105 the dac chip is OK but not great I can get better sound with spending 3k on a walkman and have enough power to drive 600ohm headphones if needed ifi diablo dac amp is the best quality portable dac amp and its way better than spending 3k on a sony walk just saying £200 sony walkman nw-a105 with a ifi diablo dac amp thrown on it for £900 yea it will cost £1100 and a silver dragon cable and need a 6.3mm to 3.5mm adapter for it but hey its better and its cheaper than buying sonys most expensive walkman when you can get better and have more drive for higher independence headphones be pretty overkill on 32ohm or 40ohm headphones
These phones are huge as hell now a days no excuse not to add a jack in since they are getting humongous. None at all. If there is no jack you will wear out the charger port faster (if you don't use wireless headphones) and you can't listen and charge at the same time with the C port so... I'd rather just have a jack. It's the same bull crap of having ditched the notification light when like you just saw in this video... is tiny as hell. So why ditch it to begin with? I'd rather have that then always on screen nonsense. My Xperia L had an amazing notification light on the bottom man what happened to having a nice notification light? Phones are so dull now a days. Sony might not even release the Xperia 5 iv now since... it has a small screen of 6 inches compared to what everyone is releasing now a days with screens of 6.5 or bigger which is huge in my opinion. That's why I just bought the Xperia 5 ii and will be changing out the screen and batteries when needed. All these IP68 phones are a hassle to open up compared to my LG v20. Removable batteries was best feature phones ever had that sadly went away. Easier to open up your phone and pop in a bigger battery in that sucker. Now we need heat guns lol and more glue to put things back together yaaaaay.
coming back to your video as i finally had time to reassemble my phone, any idea why I'm only getting 3 red flashes from the notification light when attempting to power on? Initially it flashed the low battery symbol on the screen but now all I see are the 3 flashes. Thanks for your help!
Got it charged and working. had been without it so long, i forgot thats the dead signal. Thank you so much for your content, it was a lifesaver in recovering all my cherished photos and videos of my family!
Outstanding step by step video, great job @pbkreviews. I have a question id love your advice on, the fingerprint reader on my Xperia 5II has gone bad, i purchased a replacement cable and I'm wondering if you had any idea how i would go about removing the old fingerprint sensor and cable and installing the new one i purchased ? Would i need to remove everything from the phone as well as the battery or is there a little easier way you could advise ? Not sure what to do about this.
Thanks! You would need to take the back plate off, remove the screws on top and bottom covers and remove those covers. Then disconnect the battery cable and remove the battery as well as remove the speaker assembly on bottom and disconnect the white coaxial cable from the corner, also remove the motherboard then remove the screws on the side of the frame holding the cover/bracket that holds the fingerprint reader flex and other buttons in place to gain access to removing and replacing it. Then reverse the steps. Basically yes you would pretty much need to take the entire phone apart.
@@PBKreviewsthanks so much for the indepth and speedyh reply, I'll follow your instructions and get it done. Thanks again for taking the time to reply, it's much appreciated. Your channel rocks!
Beautifully done ..was watching this to learn about the green line which allegedly cause by overheating due to updates ..some say the heat kinda effect the ribbon cable
@pulkinpulman2028 I had the green line appear 3 days ago on mine. Out of interest, had you installed the new Pokémon TCG app on your Sony Xperia V II shortly before it happened?
hi i disassembled and reassembled the phone. Everything works but the GPS signal. Do you know which is the broken component (the black and white thin cables?) and where I can find replacement?
Hi, I tore my phone down after watching your video. I'm missing one piece, the adhesive/silicone seal on the lower loudspeaker. I'm not sure what it's called I guess as I'm having no luck finding one. Any advice?
Thanks. No the complete screen assembly would need to be replaced since the glass is fused/glued to the screen. Only factories or professionals with the required tools and machines can do that job. Also you would need to disassemble the phone to disconnect the screen cable etc.
Is it necessary to remove anything other than the battery for a simple replacement? It looks like the very first pcb that's pulled off may be covering it, but after that, is it possible to just remove the pull tabs and pop out the battery?
Fantastic Video, so well done. I have a question, what adhesive would you use to stick the back glass cover back onto the phone ? I recently dropped mine and it cracked the back cover which i will need to replace. Just not sure what adhesive to use ?
I think my mic was covered i something when I was cooking yesterday. Scratching the area gently makes alot of noice, but vocie is barely picked up. Any ideas for fixing this? Should I disassemble the phone, se if I can find someone who can sell me an old phone and try replacing the mic? What type of adhesive should I use for assembling?
Question: what do you replace the pull-release tape with when re-assembling? You didn't show that in the video. Some people use normal double-sided tape for the battery, which makes future repairs a pain in the ass.
I use adhesive like double sided tape but you don't need to put too much to make it impossible to pry off. Also some adhesives are stronger than others and you can use something that is not too strong so it's easier for repairs in future.
Thanks bro what an excellent and detailed video. If I just want to replace the battery without taking out every parts, which part of the video that u recommend me to watch? Can I only remove the battery without touching other parts?
Then you only take the battery cover thats with top part, then just disconnect the battery as shown in this video, remove the battery. No need to remove anything else.
Thanks for the great repair video, much appreciated! My 5 II was damaged in AUG this year when I wanted to take some photos in a pool, after few weeks of silence the phone started to recover, and as of now everything is back, almost everything. Except, the connection to O2 network fails (WLAN is OK), tested also in the 2nd SIM slot. The card itself is OK. It seems that obviously there is a defect on the board with the receiver, but not with the card slot I guess. Any idea which module should be replaced?
Not sure what will need to be replaced, but the fact water got inside, first thing you should be doing it not using it. You can risk it shorting out and losing all your data as well as rendering the phone inoperable. You should take it apart and disconnect the battery, dry out any liquid inside and use a small brush like a tooth brush to brush off any corrosion on chips or connectors, and then re assemble it to see if it will work. If not, you can try replacing parts one by one to test which is defective. :)
So the charging port cable is not glued to the frame? That would make replacing it a lot easier, now I just hope that the battery pulltabs on my 5ii wont rip once the port is worn out. Well and that thin cable with the antenna connector on top, that thing looks scary too
Hi, no it's not glued to the frame and if the battery tabs rip, you can use isopropyl alcohol (link in description) to apply some around the battery and let it sit for a minute so it goes underneath the battery and eats away at the adhesive making it easier to pry off.
@@PBKreviews I did the isopropyl thing with my XZ Premium and it ruined the screen, it is still operational, but it has lots of dark patches across it as the isopropyl alcohol seeped in-between the layers. Probably not an issue with the Oled of the 5ii, but I'd still rather avoid it because of reasons. I have yet to find a repair video though where the battery pulltabs break on the newer Sony phones, so I'm not that worried, just sad that I lost my XZP because of them and finding out later that I didn't even need to remove the battery to access the charging port to replace the broken one. Anyway, thank you for the quick response :D
@@or2kr Oh, maybe you applied way too much? another thing is you need to use 99% isopropyl alcohol or the one linked in my description from ifixit since it dries up really quick. So far I haven't had any issues with any screens but it is a good point to be careful not to use too much. Originally before I ever used it myself, I had those worries but once I started so far no issues on my end with the 99% isopropyl.
@@PBKreviews It was 99% and yes, I had applied too much in the thought of it not being able to damage anything, most of it didn't stay where the strips were and I still had to use a lot of force to remove the battery. Anyway, should've watched/read more guides to find out that I wasn't even required to remove it to replace the charging port to avoid the whole mess I created
Sometimes I clean the phone under the sink with no presured water and never had a problem after now almost 2 years from buying the phone that seems some humidity went into the phone and more exactly I noticed in the cameras. The front camera is with beam and little drops of water in the three back cameras. Also the camera app is turning on by itself from time to time. The rest of the phone seems perfectly working, apart of the fact that was not passing more than the three animations when turning on the phone after some minutes of puting under the water. The phone was all the time ON and no electricity problems have been seen. Should I worry about or it will desapear? Should I open the back of the phone and try to remove the humidity? The phone still have the warranty but I don´t know if this kind of situations are the ones Sony repairs...
It's never a good idea to wash the phone under water. When they have IP rating, its mainly for accidental drops in water, but these phones are not water proof. They are just water resistant. You probably have water damage in the phone that its causing those issues you are mentioning. You should take it apart, and disconnect the battery cable, clean out any moisture inside, and brush off any corrosion on chips and connectors and then re assemble to see if it helps. Water damage is not covered by warranty.
@@PBKreviews Thanks for the answer, I am going to do what you mentioned. I saw in the video you removed the back cover with the plastic pick but is it that easy just with it or I need to use some heat to make softer the glue that keeps it attach or is it attach with other way? Whatever the case how do I assemble again the back cover? Cause in the video you just put it on the phone and I am not sure if you use some kind of glue or stick. Thank you very much for the answer, I was not very clever with a phone that isn't cheap..
Hi great video, I have a urgent question because I need an important document I stored on my Xperia 5 II yesterday but the phone now is stuck in a boot loop. Not because of a recent update but when the battery was almost empty, I plugged it to a charger and then it turned off. It tries to restart since then but turns off as soon as the pincode screen shows because the battery is too empty. Soft reset doesn't help: keeps looping. Phone is 4 months old. I read on a forum a possible solution: let it charge and loop for hours so the battery charges bit by bit a little more than it uses to restart. Just until there's enough capacity to fully restart. Do you think this can harm the battery/phone? And if so, are there replacement battery's available? Do you agree the ultimate solution could be placing a new charged battery? One step before that, is it possible to stop the loop and charge the current battery after? Maybe by disassembling something so that prevents the phone from restarting and then charge the battery you think? Reactions much appreciated THANKS!!
Hi, thanks. hmm I would think the best option would be to buy a replacement battery (hoping it has some charge in it) and install the new battery to power on the phone and get your files off. I would also assume the new battery should fix the problem but if its having a bootloop still, might need a factory reset (after backing up all your data) and if still no luck then it might be some other hardware issue causing that to happen.
That was the cleanest pull-release tape removal I've seen in a while haha. Most people need to use tweezers and patience because the tape likes to snap mid-removal.
@@YeOldeKamikaze lol ya, I hate it when it breaks mid way and your stuck to prying it with tools when its meant to come off easy. This ones pull tabs were much better than most phones which break off easily. Not sure but it's also possible over time the pull tab will become more brittle and break/rip easier.
You would need to use the original pre cut adhesive for the phone to retain the water resistance. You would need to search online for Xperia 5 II adhesive replacement and try to find one to purchase. If none are available you can watch this video on how to install new adhesive but using custom adhesive wont retain the water resistance. ua-cam.com/video/T4iiPUIM7-Y/v-deo.html
@@PBKreviews Thank you so much for replying. I found some online. I'm planning to replace the earpiece speaker. Do I need to buy waterproof adhesive for the LCD as well or just for the back cover?
@@cgjocson you're welcome. If you remove the screen also, then yes you would need to replace that adhesive as well. But i dont think you would need to remove the screen to replace the earpiece speaker.
Hey, does the bottom speaker really not have a mesh or grill that's visible from the front? My 5II doesn't have one, the bottom speaker looks just like a gap 4mm deep. I was wondering if it's designed like that or if mine is missing a waterproofing element. Thanks!
@@PBKreviews Thanks for your reply. Yes, I am looking at the bottom speaker from the outside. I just got worried because my previous water resistant phones have visible grilles or mesh right under their speaker holes. But if you found a similar mesh inside where the speaker is, then I guess there's no need for there to be a mesh right at the opening.
Yes it's a good phone, I would have preferred a bit more cooling features like some 3D graphite layer/film or copper plate underneath the mainboard as well instead of just thermal paste but I like the fact it isn't too difficult to repair and the battery has pull tabs so it makes for an easier battery replacement compared to most phones.
Hi. Is the back plate easy to remove as same as the xperia 10 ii or is it much harder because i notice in the xperia 10 ii video, you said it was fairly easy to remove in the comments even tho both of them got ip68. Thanks.
Hi, it's not difficult. Applying gradual heat with a hair dryer for example while prying with a pry tool would make it easier. The only thing that may make it difficult is the fact its glass and you don't want to break it. So you need to take your time. You can also use a suction tool to be able to lift a corner or side of the back plate to get your pry tool under once you heat it up.
Hi, you should be fine, the mic is a solid metal like piece doesn't break that easily. Plus usually on most phones there is a filter and the mic is sitting to the top of the hole so the paper clip would not touch it.
@@YeOldeKamikaze Yes, correct. Now a days most manufactures place the mic above/bellow or to the sides of the hole or have the sound directed through a channel to the mic so people can't damage it if they accidentally put a pin in the hole.
Hi, its soldered to the main board so it's not user replaceable. You would need to find a repair shop that can do soldering to be able to de solder and replace it with a new one.
Question: Power button/fingerprint sensor works perfectly, no other button works (both volume up and down, assistant and camera button) Here it seems they are all connected on the same flat cable. Last couple of days had an update and an hour ago dropped the phone from 3 feet hight on the tile floor. Did a software button test, does not register any clicks. Seems to be hardware issue, but power button working perfectly gives me confusion. Any insight?
Hmm odd how only the power button and sensor work. I think your best bet would be to take it apart and make sure the flex cable is connected properly to the board and did not become semi disconnected etc. That's the only thing I can think of.
@@PBKreviews Thanks for the fast response. Makes sense. What kind of glue would you recommend for glueing the back cover back, if I can't find the original one? It is a rare phone after all...
You would have to do it from the back. You remove the back plate and remove the speaker assembly along with the vibrator motor and small board to gain access to the screen cable to disconnect it so then you can pry your screen off from the front once the cable is disconnected. You don't need to disassemble the motherboard portion on top if your doing a screen replacement.
@@PBKreviews do you know if I would have to replace the whole LCD screen to get new glass? Repair guy told me I need to get the $300 lcd screen + glass to replace just the glass. The pixels are not actually broken on my screen. Just the glass. Maybe, would I even have to open up the back?
@@TheMaux64 you would need to replace the entire screen assembly, the glass is fused to the display and is not user replaceable. You would need to take the phone apart to get to the screen cable to disconnect it as well and replace with new screens cable.
@@PBKreviews it's not just glue that holds glass to screen?...it's fused, wat does this fused mean?...everyother phone uses Loca glue to put new glass back onto digitizer screen??
Hi. I'm having a problem with my Xperia 5 ii XQ-AS72, where the phone screen is streaky I'm having trouble finding a replacement for the screen, can you help me get a replacement screen for my sony Xperia 5 ii XQ-AS72 thanks.
@@PBKreviews Do you see any fragile components or weaker design decisions inside the phone that may easily be damaged when dropped? How shock-proof do you think the inside hardware of this phone is?
@@ddcll9538 Most of the parts are pretty solid, the only things I can think of that can possible get damaged or break if dropped hard enough might be the cameras if the outside glass breaks and shatters the camera glass/lens as well or the battery possibly getting damaged or pierced if the glass back breaks and something from the outside damages the battery. Aside from that, in general most of the parts internally are strapped down or screwed in and I don't see anything damaging internally from a drop aside from outside damage.
You would have to take the back plate off as well as remove the speaker assembly and vibrator motor etc. on the bottom so you can disconnect the screen cable and then pry your screen off the frame, add new adhesive, re apply your new screen and reconnect everything.
The backplate of a Xperia 5 wont fit right? Its like 8.2mm on the Xperia 5 ii and a 8mm on the Xperia 5 diffrent right? THE glas Broke at the camera, or is THE glas size THE same om both phones?
@@BrudgeK ya it probably wont fit. It wont be just the size of it but also the camera frame area where the lens cover sits over the cameras etc. Any slight position changes would cause it not to fit.
A separate board for the charger port on bottom would have been a bit easier, yes, but it's still not that difficult to do. Could have been much worst if there were no pull tabs on the battery and if the flex cable for the charger port was glued or adhered to the midframe etc.
@@ddcll9538 maybe after many years if its under great wear or say used in construction type areas where a lot of dust and debris can affect the phone, it might not be as water resistant but just my opinion.
Why are there no replacement batteries available for this phone? I have looked everywhere online, but they simply don't exist. So the fact that the battery should be fairly easy to replace (as far as glued together phones go) is meaningless, as you simply can't buy a new battery for it anywhere.
I feel you. I live in Canada and Sony phones are non existent over here. For the screen protector, I ordered 2 different ones from Olixar, their tempered glass and film protectors. I've read reviews saying that the tempered glass doesn't stick very well so beware. Will update this comment if the tempered glass is no good. If you Google search using English, you basically only get 2 reliable options, Spigen and Olixar. But to my surprise, accessories for the 5 ii is just scarce in general, because when I googled using Japanese and Mandarin, I could not find anything new than what I already could on Ebay... maybe the phone is too new or not popular enough? Hard to believe, since Sony held a convention in Taiwan.
Not necessarily. You can replace it and its not soldered onto the motherboard. It might be a little bit of work ya, but its not too hard to do it and also the fact the battery has the pull tabs makes it so much easier compared to some other phones.
Yep, I personally never use wireless chargers but would be nice to know I would have the option of being able to use it. But these phones charge pretty fast now a days so can easily charge with a wire, or you can add an aftermarket wireless charger which connects to your charger port.
@@mswkickdrum it's not an engineering failure it's the fact that tmobile doesent want to carry another brand in the sea of brands they already carry. They have exclusive deals with a lot of brands and if you as a phone company want your phone use all T-Mobile services you need to pay them so tmobile can keep its prices low. It's like apple is exclusively carried by a select few cell phone operators abroad because of exclusivity deals. Phone companies need to pay money to carriers to use their firmware for features such as video call ,it can make video calls with others because they paid others for using firmware and it is a possibility that if if the phone gets sales then they'll add tmobile but sales are not looking too bright for any company this year.
@@reenachauriya4931 no, it's the result of sony not getting their phones certified with tmobile for wifi calling on their network. A failure to engineer the software into the phones setup from the start. I have xperia xz1 compact that is vowifi certified for tmobile from the factory by sony. I believe it's the most recent model so equipped and it's from 2016. This is a choice sony is making and it sucks. I want a new sony phone and they refuse to make one that utilizes the features of a network that serves 98M usa customers. All pixel phones from the very beginning were vowifi certified and they weren't sold by tmobile. I have read that there is some contractual problem between Sony and tmobile that relates to the xperia model Sony pulled out of with Verizon.
Yes its made in china, the same company also makes batteries for Samsung and other phones as well. Keep in mind, these factories that make products for OEMS and manufactures like these are under tight control and run operations in a highly controlled environment. So its not like they make bad quality parts, they have standards set by the OEMS that they need to meet etc.
This is so satisfying to see how easy it is, no unnecessary crap in the way.
No unnecessary gimmick. Just a simple well-engineered and a very light phone
Agreed, I need it
Hm, what about missing colling system under the mainboard - copper vapour chamber or copper tubes at least? I can't call it well engineering, sorry.

Xperia 5 seems easy to replace battery unlike samsung and lg they put a super glue that's hard to replace it. Nice video.
The headphone jack does seem to use quite a bit of real estate as many of those phone manufacturers are claiming. I'm not surprised that other manufacturers are removing it, especially when many of the newer smartphone chips are demanding more real estate for bigger chips and better cooling. However, I would gladly sacrifice one or two of those cameras for a headphone jack. But then, who would buy a flagship smartphone with flagship prices that doesn't have one of those top end cameras. Ah well... I hope the headphone jack stays in future iterations of this phone, it's the main reason I bought it.
Ya, or if they include adapters for the charger port to headphone jack out.
@@PBKreviews Carrying a dongle around feels dumb for me, why don't just have it in the phone... This might be one of the last flagships with a headphone jack unless Sony sticks with it in the future (and I hope they do, it's very useful for audiophiles and photographer nerds)
@@virusrhino5399 true but you can always just leave the adapter connected to the end of your earphones or headphones since your going to be carrying that with you if you plan to use it. Also since everything is going wireless they consider that as a second option. Only other thing I can think of is one less way of water or dust getting into the phone so makes it easier to make them resistant to water with one less hole to plug up
See for me ile sacrifice the camera for a better dac chip but that's me the chip in this phone sounds great but if sony eventually ditches it to follow the other trends then ile most likely buy a walkman and a better dac amp
Cheap walkman nw-a105 the dac chip is OK but not great I can get better sound with spending 3k on a walkman and have enough power to drive 600ohm headphones if needed ifi diablo dac amp is the best quality portable dac amp and its way better than spending 3k on a sony walk just saying £200 sony walkman nw-a105 with a ifi diablo dac amp thrown on it for £900 yea it will cost £1100 and a silver dragon cable and need a 6.3mm to 3.5mm adapter for it but hey its better and its cheaper than buying sonys most expensive walkman when you can get better and have more drive for higher independence headphones be pretty overkill on 32ohm or 40ohm headphones
These phones are huge as hell now a days no excuse not to add a jack in since they are getting humongous. None at all.
If there is no jack you will wear out the charger port faster (if you don't use wireless headphones) and you can't listen and charge at the same time with the C port so... I'd rather just have a jack.
It's the same bull crap of having ditched the notification light when like you just saw in this video... is tiny as hell. So why ditch it to begin with?
I'd rather have that then always on screen nonsense.
My Xperia L had an amazing notification light on the bottom man what happened to having a nice notification light? Phones are so dull now a days.
Sony might not even release the Xperia 5 iv now since... it has a small screen of 6 inches compared to what everyone is releasing now a days with screens of 6.5 or bigger which is huge in my opinion.
That's why I just bought the Xperia 5 ii and will be changing out the screen and batteries when needed.
All these IP68 phones are a hassle to open up compared to my LG v20.
Removable batteries was best feature phones ever had that sadly went away.
Easier to open up your phone and pop in a bigger battery in that sucker.
Now we need heat guns lol and more glue to put things back together yaaaaay.
coming back to your video as i finally had time to reassemble my phone, any idea why I'm only getting 3 red flashes from the notification light when attempting to power on? Initially it flashed the low battery symbol on the screen but now all I see are the 3 flashes. Thanks for your help!
Got it charged and working. had been without it so long, i forgot thats the dead signal. Thank you so much for your content, it was a lifesaver in recovering all my cherished photos and videos of my family!
Outstanding step by step video, great job @pbkreviews. I have a question id love your advice on, the fingerprint reader on my Xperia 5II has gone bad, i purchased a replacement cable and I'm wondering if you had any idea how i would go about removing the old fingerprint sensor and cable and installing the new one i purchased ? Would i need to remove everything from the phone as well as the battery or is there a little easier way you could advise ? Not sure what to do about this.
Thanks! You would need to take the back plate off, remove the screws on top and bottom covers and remove those covers. Then disconnect the battery cable and remove the battery as well as remove the speaker assembly on bottom and disconnect the white coaxial cable from the corner, also remove the motherboard then remove the screws on the side of the frame holding the cover/bracket that holds the fingerprint reader flex and other buttons in place to gain access to removing and replacing it. Then reverse the steps. Basically yes you would pretty much need to take the entire phone apart.

5iii and 5ii display same? Can i use 5iii lcd panels on 5ii !
Beautifully done ..was watching this to learn about the green line which allegedly cause by overheating due to updates ..some say the heat kinda effect the ribbon cable
Thanks. Not sure exactly what the cause of the green line could be. Multiple things can cause it to do that, so not sure.
@pulkinpulman2028 I had the green line appear 3 days ago on mine. Out of interest, had you installed the new Pokémon TCG app on your Sony Xperia V II shortly before it happened?
hi i disassembled and reassembled the phone. Everything works but the GPS signal. Do you know which is the broken component (the black and white thin cables?) and where I can find replacement?
Great video i need screen Sony Xperia 5 iii
Hi, I tore my phone down after watching your video. I'm missing one piece, the adhesive/silicone seal on the lower loudspeaker. I'm not sure what it's called I guess as I'm having no luck finding one. Any advice?
the buffer foam or the adhesive? Sony parts are usually hard to find so you may need to just used b7000 adhesive glue.
Assalam o alaikum sir
Can u tell me where is wifi module located and it look alike
Great video, can you replace the screen glass without disassembling the whole phone, or do you have to swap the digitizer too?
Thanks. No the complete screen assembly would need to be replaced since the glass is fused/glued to the screen. Only factories or professionals with the required tools and machines can do that job. Also you would need to disassemble the phone to disconnect the screen cable etc.
Is it necessary to remove anything other than the battery for a simple replacement? It looks like the very first pcb that's pulled off may be covering it, but after that, is it possible to just remove the pull tabs and pop out the battery?
Once you remove the top cover and have access to disconnecting the battery cable, you can use the pull tabs and remove the battery at that point.
Fantastic Video, so well done. I have a question, what adhesive would you use to stick the back glass cover back onto the phone ? I recently dropped mine and it cracked the back cover which i will need to replace. Just not sure what adhesive to use ?
Thanks! You can check out this video I did on applying new adhesive: ua-cam.com/video/T4iiPUIM7-Y/v-deo.html
@@PBKreviews fantastic, will do and thanks 🙏
I think my mic was covered i something when I was cooking yesterday. Scratching the area gently makes alot of noice, but vocie is barely picked up. Any ideas for fixing this? Should I disassemble the phone, se if I can find someone who can sell me an old phone and try replacing the mic? What type of adhesive should I use for assembling?
Question: what do you replace the pull-release tape with when re-assembling? You didn't show that in the video. Some people use normal double-sided tape for the battery, which makes future repairs a pain in the ass.
I use adhesive like double sided tape but you don't need to put too much to make it impossible to pry off. Also some adhesives are stronger than others and you can use something that is not too strong so it's easier for repairs in future.
sorry i missed you there ?
does it have a vapour chamber inside underneath the screen ?
Nope
Thank you very much!
Great video thanks..
Thanks, and you're welcome.
Thanks bro what an excellent and detailed video. If I just want to replace the battery without taking out every parts, which part of the video that u recommend me to watch? Can I only remove the battery without touching other parts?
Then you only take the battery cover thats with top part, then just disconnect the battery as shown in this video, remove the battery. No need to remove anything else.
This is one of the basic looking phone (on the inside) I have ever seen.
ya, its a pretty simple layout.
Thanks for the great repair video, much appreciated!
My 5 II was damaged in AUG this year when I wanted to take some photos in a pool, after few weeks of silence the phone started to recover, and as of now everything is back, almost everything.
Except, the connection to O2 network fails (WLAN is OK), tested also in the 2nd SIM slot. The card itself is OK.
It seems that obviously there is a defect on the board with the receiver, but not with the card slot I guess. Any idea which module should be replaced?
Not sure what will need to be replaced, but the fact water got inside, first thing you should be doing it not using it. You can risk it shorting out and losing all your data as well as rendering the phone inoperable. You should take it apart and disconnect the battery, dry out any liquid inside and use a small brush like a tooth brush to brush off any corrosion on chips or connectors, and then re assemble it to see if it will work. If not, you can try replacing parts one by one to test which is defective. :)
So the charging port cable is not glued to the frame? That would make replacing it a lot easier, now I just hope that the battery pulltabs on my 5ii wont rip once the port is worn out. Well and that thin cable with the antenna connector on top, that thing looks scary too
Hi, no it's not glued to the frame and if the battery tabs rip, you can use isopropyl alcohol (link in description) to apply some around the battery and let it sit for a minute so it goes underneath the battery and eats away at the adhesive making it easier to pry off.
@@PBKreviews I did the isopropyl thing with my XZ Premium and it ruined the screen, it is still operational, but it has lots of dark patches across it as the isopropyl alcohol seeped in-between the layers. Probably not an issue with the Oled of the 5ii, but I'd still rather avoid it because of reasons.
I have yet to find a repair video though where the battery pulltabs break on the newer Sony phones, so I'm not that worried, just sad that I lost my XZP because of them and finding out later that I didn't even need to remove the battery to access the charging port to replace the broken one.
Anyway, thank you for the quick response :D
@@or2kr Oh, maybe you applied way too much? another thing is you need to use 99% isopropyl alcohol or the one linked in my description from ifixit since it dries up really quick. So far I haven't had any issues with any screens but it is a good point to be careful not to use too much. Originally before I ever used it myself, I had those worries but once I started so far no issues on my end with the 99% isopropyl.
@@PBKreviews It was 99% and yes, I had applied too much in the thought of it not being able to damage anything, most of it didn't stay where the strips were and I still had to use a lot of force to remove the battery. Anyway, should've watched/read more guides to find out that I wasn't even required to remove it to replace the charging port to avoid the whole mess I created
Brother plz tell me where is wifi module located
Sometimes I clean the phone under the sink with no presured water and never had a problem after now almost 2 years from buying the phone that seems some humidity went into the phone and more exactly I noticed in the cameras. The front camera is with beam and little drops of water in the three back cameras. Also the camera app is turning on by itself from time to time. The rest of the phone seems perfectly working, apart of the fact that was not passing more than the three animations when turning on the phone after some minutes of puting under the water. The phone was all the time ON and no electricity problems have been seen. Should I worry about or it will desapear? Should I open the back of the phone and try to remove the humidity? The phone still have the warranty but I don´t know if this kind of situations are the ones Sony repairs...
It's never a good idea to wash the phone under water. When they have IP rating, its mainly for accidental drops in water, but these phones are not water proof. They are just water resistant. You probably have water damage in the phone that its causing those issues you are mentioning. You should take it apart, and disconnect the battery cable, clean out any moisture inside, and brush off any corrosion on chips and connectors and then re assemble to see if it helps. Water damage is not covered by warranty.
@@PBKreviews Thanks for the answer, I am going to do what you mentioned. I saw in the video you removed the back cover with the plastic pick but is it that easy just with it or I need to use some heat to make softer the glue that keeps it attach or is it attach with other way? Whatever the case how do I assemble again the back cover? Cause in the video you just put it on the phone and I am not sure if you use some kind of glue or stick. Thank you very much for the answer, I was not very clever with a phone that isn't cheap..
Hi great video, I have a urgent question because I need an important document I stored on my Xperia 5 II yesterday but the phone now is stuck in a boot loop. Not because of a recent update but when the battery was almost empty, I plugged it to a charger and then it turned off. It tries to restart since then but turns off as soon as the pincode screen shows because the battery is too empty. Soft reset doesn't help: keeps looping. Phone is 4 months old. I read on a forum a possible solution: let it charge and loop for hours so the battery charges bit by bit a little more than it uses to restart. Just until there's enough capacity to fully restart. Do you think this can harm the battery/phone? And if so, are there replacement battery's available? Do you agree the ultimate solution could be placing a new charged battery? One step before that, is it possible to stop the loop and charge the current battery after? Maybe by disassembling something so that prevents the phone from restarting and then charge the battery you think? Reactions much appreciated THANKS!!
Hi, thanks. hmm I would think the best option would be to buy a replacement battery (hoping it has some charge in it) and install the new battery to power on the phone and get your files off. I would also assume the new battery should fix the problem but if its having a bootloop still, might need a factory reset (after backing up all your data) and if still no luck then it might be some other hardware issue causing that to happen.
5:24 wheeeeeeeeeeeee
lol yup
That was the cleanest pull-release tape removal I've seen in a while haha. Most people need to use tweezers and patience because the tape likes to snap mid-removal.
@@YeOldeKamikaze lol ya, I hate it when it breaks mid way and your stuck to prying it with tools when its meant to come off easy. This ones pull tabs were much better than most phones which break off easily. Not sure but it's also possible over time the pull tab will become more brittle and break/rip easier.
Hey, what should I check if im buying this phone (used)
What adhesive do you recommend? What steps do I have to do to make the phone waterproof again? Thanks!
You would need to use the original pre cut adhesive for the phone to retain the water resistance. You would need to search online for Xperia 5 II adhesive replacement and try to find one to purchase. If none are available you can watch this video on how to install new adhesive but using custom adhesive wont retain the water resistance. ua-cam.com/video/T4iiPUIM7-Y/v-deo.html
@@PBKreviews Thank you so much for replying. I found some online. I'm planning to replace the earpiece speaker. Do I need to buy waterproof adhesive for the LCD as well or just for the back cover?
@@cgjocson you're welcome. If you remove the screen also, then yes you would need to replace that adhesive as well. But i dont think you would need to remove the screen to replace the earpiece speaker.
Hey, does the bottom speaker really not have a mesh or grill that's visible from the front? My 5II doesn't have one, the bottom speaker looks just like a gap 4mm deep. I was wondering if it's designed like that or if mine is missing a waterproofing element. Thanks!
Are you refering to looking at it from outside? I know it has a mesh filter over the speaker opening inside the phone.
@@PBKreviews Thanks for your reply. Yes, I am looking at the bottom speaker from the outside. I just got worried because my previous water resistant phones have visible grilles or mesh right under their speaker holes. But if you found a similar mesh inside where the speaker is, then I guess there's no need for there to be a mesh right at the opening.
@@somayough Oh ok, ya you should be fine, it does have a filter inside :)
So what is Overall impression about this phone after your Operation ? Will you recommend ? :)
Yes it's a good phone, I would have preferred a bit more cooling features like some 3D graphite layer/film or copper plate underneath the mainboard as well instead of just thermal paste but I like the fact it isn't too difficult to repair and the battery has pull tabs so it makes for an easier battery replacement compared to most phones.
Is that type C port removable?
Hi. Is the back plate easy to remove as same as the xperia 10 ii or is it much harder because i notice in the xperia 10 ii video, you said it was fairly easy to remove in the comments even tho both of them got ip68. Thanks.
Hi, it's not difficult. Applying gradual heat with a hair dryer for example while prying with a pry tool would make it easier. The only thing that may make it difficult is the fact its glass and you don't want to break it. So you need to take your time. You can also use a suction tool to be able to lift a corner or side of the back plate to get your pry tool under once you heat it up.
@@PBKreviews Much thanks sir ✌️
I am wondering what is the thing next to the flashlight, where the white circle is in the glass?
It's one of the camera sensors I believe, not sure exactly what it does, or if its related to the flash but yep.
Great. Many Thanks.
You're welcome
How do you assess the chances of damaging the upper mic when poking a paperclip inside its hole? Many thanks!
Hi, you should be fine, the mic is a solid metal like piece doesn't break that easily. Plus usually on most phones there is a filter and the mic is sitting to the top of the hole so the paper clip would not touch it.
I think the mic sits perpendicular to it's hole, so a pin is unlikely to even touch it, unless you're really trying.
@@YeOldeKamikaze Yes, correct. Now a days most manufactures place the mic above/bellow or to the sides of the hole or have the sound directed through a channel to the mic so people can't damage it if they accidentally put a pin in the hole.
Cool videos. What phones have you been most impressed with based on the teardown?
Thanks, I'm most impressed usually with the gaming phones but those tend to be incredibly hard to repair so they have downsides
Hello. How do you replace SIM card reader on this phone?
Hi, its soldered to the main board so it's not user replaceable. You would need to find a repair shop that can do soldering to be able to de solder and replace it with a new one.
Question: Power button/fingerprint sensor works perfectly, no other button works (both volume up and down, assistant and camera button) Here it seems they are all connected on the same flat cable. Last couple of days had an update and an hour ago dropped the phone from 3 feet hight on the tile floor. Did a software button test, does not register any clicks. Seems to be hardware issue, but power button working perfectly gives me confusion. Any insight?
Hmm odd how only the power button and sensor work. I think your best bet would be to take it apart and make sure the flex cable is connected properly to the board and did not become semi disconnected etc. That's the only thing I can think of.
@@PBKreviews Thanks for the fast response. Makes sense. What kind of glue would you recommend for glueing the back cover back, if I can't find the original one? It is a rare phone after all...

So, to replace the screen you need to remove everything? Or do you have access to replace it from the front side?
You would have to do it from the back. You remove the back plate and remove the speaker assembly along with the vibrator motor and small board to gain access to the screen cable to disconnect it so then you can pry your screen off from the front once the cable is disconnected. You don't need to disassemble the motherboard portion on top if your doing a screen replacement.
@@PBKreviews do you know if I would have to replace the whole LCD screen to get new glass? Repair guy told me I need to get the $300 lcd screen + glass to replace just the glass. The pixels are not actually broken on my screen. Just the glass.
Maybe, would I even have to open up the back?
@@PBKreviews i guess i have to figure it out how to do it
@@TheMaux64 you would need to replace the entire screen assembly, the glass is fused to the display and is not user replaceable. You would need to take the phone apart to get to the screen cable to disconnect it as well and replace with new screens cable.

I feel the back would break easier than the screen glass.
@@PBKreviews Do you see any fragile components or weaker design decisions inside the phone that may easily be damaged when dropped? How shock-proof do you think the inside hardware of this phone is?
@@ddcll9538 Most of the parts are pretty solid, the only things I can think of that can possible get damaged or break if dropped hard enough might be the cameras if the outside glass breaks and shatters the camera glass/lens as well or the battery possibly getting damaged or pierced if the glass back breaks and something from the outside damages the battery. Aside from that, in general most of the parts internally are strapped down or screwed in and I don't see anything damaging internally from a drop aside from outside damage.
@@PBKreviews Thank you very much for your analysis and replying so quickly.
Would I have to disassemble the entire phone in order to replace the outer screen?
You would have to take the back plate off as well as remove the speaker assembly and vibrator motor etc. on the bottom so you can disconnect the screen cable and then pry your screen off the frame, add new adhesive, re apply your new screen and reconnect everything.

Bad design if you need to change the TYPE C USB socket,

A separate board for the charger port on bottom would have been a bit easier, yes, but it's still not that difficult to do. Could have been much worst if there were no pull tabs on the battery and if the flex cable for the charger port was glued or adhered to the midframe etc.

Its possible but not for a very long time.
@@PBKreviews as in the phone will not be waterproof anymore after a while?
@@ddcll9538 maybe after many years if its under great wear or say used in construction type areas where a lot of dust and debris can affect the phone, it might not be as water resistant but just my opinion.

Why are there no replacement batteries available for this phone? I have looked everywhere online, but they simply don't exist. So the fact that the battery should be fairly easy to replace (as far as glued together phones go) is meaningless, as you simply can't buy a new battery for it anywhere.
sony phone parts always seem much harder to find. probably sony has a tighter control over it.

I feel you. I live in Canada and Sony phones are non existent over here. For the screen protector, I ordered 2 different ones from Olixar, their tempered glass and film protectors. I've read reviews saying that the tempered glass doesn't stick very well so beware. Will update this comment if the tempered glass is no good.
If you Google search using English, you basically only get 2 reliable options, Spigen and Olixar. But to my surprise, accessories for the 5 ii is just scarce in general, because when I googled using Japanese and Mandarin, I could not find anything new than what I already could on Ebay... maybe the phone is too new or not popular enough? Hard to believe, since Sony held a convention in Taiwan.
its really really bad if you have a damage charging port..
Not necessarily. You can replace it and its not soldered onto the motherboard. It might be a little bit of work ya, but its not too hard to do it and also the fact the battery has the pull tabs makes it so much easier compared to some other phones.
Why didnt you take out the google assistant button or make it unfunctional somehow.

Sadly no wireless charging

I'm not 100% sure but it might be a possibility that it can be added down the line via software update etc.
@@PBKreviews nope. Check the techy phone forums. This is a major problem for sony ever getting a hold in USA market.
@@mswkickdrum it's not an engineering failure it's the fact that tmobile doesent want to carry another brand in the sea of brands they already carry. They have exclusive deals with a lot of brands and if you as a phone company want your phone use all T-Mobile services you need to pay them so tmobile can keep its prices low. It's like apple is exclusively carried by a select few cell phone operators abroad because of exclusivity deals. Phone companies need to pay money to carriers to use their firmware for features such as video call ,it can make video calls with others because they paid others for using firmware and it is a possibility that if if the phone gets sales then they'll add tmobile but sales are not looking too bright for any company this year.
@@reenachauriya4931 no, it's the result of sony not getting their phones certified with tmobile for wifi calling on their network. A failure to engineer the software into the phones setup from the start. I have xperia xz1 compact that is vowifi certified for tmobile from the factory by sony. I believe it's the most recent model so equipped and it's from 2016. This is a choice sony is making and it sucks. I want a new sony phone and they refuse to make one that utilizes the features of a network that serves 98M usa customers. All pixel phones from the very beginning were vowifi certified and they weren't sold by tmobile. I have read that there is some contractual problem between Sony and tmobile that relates to the xperia model Sony pulled out of with Verizon.

🤔the battery made in China? Overalls made in china low quality
Yes its made in china, the same company also makes batteries for Samsung and other phones as well. Keep in mind, these factories that make products for OEMS and manufactures like these are under tight control and run operations in a highly controlled environment. So its not like they make bad quality parts, they have standards set by the OEMS that they need to meet etc.
