The DIY Axon 7 repair tools used in this video can be found here: www.fixez.com/...
Step 1
Power down your ZTE Axon 7 smartphone.
Step 2 (ZTE Axon 7 SIM and microSD Card Tray)
Eject the SIM and microSD Card Tray.
Step 3 (ZTE Axon 7 Rear Case)
Apply heat to the speaker grills located at the top and bottom of the ZTE phone.
Insert the precision knife underneath the top grill and create enough space to fit a triangle tool.
Work the triangle tool under the grill and remove it from the Axon 7.
Now turn your attention to the speaker grill at the bottom of the device. Use the precision knife and triangle tool to extricate the grill.
Remove the following 6 Phillips screws.
Again, use the precision knife to create space and insert a triangle tool.
Release the clips and pop the ZTE Axon 7 out of its rear case.
The fingerprint reader cable is still connected to the motherboard, so don’t try to remove it entirely just yet.
Detach the connector and separate the phone from its aluminum full metal enclosure.
Step 4 (ZTE Axon 7 Fingerprint Reader and Flash Cable)
Carefully peel up the black tape from the Axon 7’s rear case.
Separate the Axon 7 ‘s intuitively placed pointer finger scanner and the flash cable from the tape.
Step 5 (ZTE Axon 7 Battery)
Remove the following Phillips screw securing the metal bracket covering the battery connector and interconnect cable.
With the bracket out of the way, disconnect the ZTE Axon 7 battery from the motherboard.
Remove the following 2 Phillips screws and then the metal bracket.
Detach and remove the Axon 7 interconnect cable.
The Axon 7 battery is well wedged and adhered in place. Use a combination of the triangle tool and spudger to carefully free it from the adhesive securing it to the midframe.
Lift out the 3250 milliampere-hour (mAh) Axon 7 battery.
Step 6 (ZTE Axon 7 Motherboard)
Remove the following 4 Phillips screws.
Spudge up the display connector and power and volume buttons cable.
Lift up the Axon 7’s motherboard and detach the connector on its underside, then extract it from the phone.
Step 7 (ZTE Axon 7 Rear-Facing Camera and Front-Facing Camera)
Disconnect and pluck out the 20-megapixel ZTE Axon 7 rear-facing camera.
Detach and remove the 8-megapixel Axon 7 front-facing selfie camera.
Step 8 (ZTE Axon 7 Earpiece Speaker)
Use the tweezers to pry the Axon 7’s stereo-enabling earpiece speaker out of the chassis.
Step 9 (ZTE Axon 7 Daughterboard/USB-C Port, Vibrator, and Loudspeaker)
Remove the following 3 Phillips screws.
Disconnect the signal cable from the daughterboard.
With a little spudgering the Axon 7 daughterboard is free. It includes the USB-C port and primary microphone.
Use the tweezers to help remove the spring-contact-connected vibrator and ZTE Axon 7 loudspeaker.
Step 10 (ZTE Axon 7 Power and Volume Buttons Cable)
The last component to surrender is the power and volume buttons cable.
Step 11 (ZTE Axon 7 Display Assembly and Home Button)
Begin too free the Axon 7 display assembly by using a heat gun to soften the adhesive securing it to the midframe.
Use a plastic triangle tool to attack the adhesive. Take your time and apply additional heat as needed.
Once you have sliced through the adhesive, be mindful of the display cable when decoupling the ZTE Axon 7 screen from the midframe.
* To reassemble your device, follow the steps in reverse order.
Finally someone's done a axon 7 teardown video. I've been waiting ages for JerryRigEverything to bring his video out. But he still hasn't. Glad you've done it.
Happy to hear you enjoyed the video.
Where are the Replacement parts ? I cant find any of them on your website.
Thanks very much for this video! After falling from a small height my phone's screen went grey on the left side. Elsewhere I read it was a screen connector that had come loose. I still had warranty, but this means, you won't see the phone again for like 10 days plus it will likely be wiped. So I got a cheap toolkit off ebay and set to work. It took me like an hour altogether. The part after the screws have come out I found the hardest but just doable. Putting it back together the first time the on/off button became stuck. But in the end I was very relieved that my Axon 7 is back together again. Plus I've picked up a new skill.
@@MusicNinjas or give it a whack from the back
They have to give a very very good explanation about that 3140 mAh battery being advertised as 3250 mAh
Jose Valenzuela did u have to do this?
10 bucks we won't have any.
Yves FOLLET - 100 bucks they would not even mention it
That triangle tool is called guitar pick -__-"
No, there's a difference. A guitar pick costs 35c and comes in a variety of thicknesses and hardness levels, whereas a triangle tool costs $1.99 plus shipping and comes in one size.
Thanks for this video. Helped me replace my battery after it began to fail at random times. Hopefully it's the last time I need to do a repair before I replace my phone.
ayy about to replace my axons battery too after 3 years... wish me luck lol
@@givemethesantahatfoo Hey man, how did replacing the battery go? I'm contemplating to do the same but was wondering you difficult it would be
did anyone notice that the triangle tool is actually just a guitar pic
I have a couple of those and they are way thicker than any guitar pick
Thanks, just replaced my battery and looked at your video beforehand. Great in depth guide to getting to it.
Knowing that the front speakers are not symmetric drives me nuts!!!
Surround sound wouldn't work properly without an offset
You are Best! 👍🏼
Good Luck!
ok, so I have done all steps... now what?
fixed my Axon 7. Well made video, you gained a new sub. Thanks a lot!
Thank you for you help and your time to show us..
Amazing video. I'm not brave enough to attempt any of these but thanks for the great effort you folks have put in...
Very helpful tutorial, i had to replace ear speaker,and new battery, it halped,thanks.
Thank you,changed my battery switch this Video
Is there any substitute for the double sided adhesive tape under the speaker grills? I need to clean the dust from under the camera glass and I don't want the old tape to crumple and make the grills not lie down flat after the reassembly.
I know this is a year late... I just replaced my battery and used 3M 300LSE double sided tape. Looks like it will work well.
My phone has sometimes only shows the right side of the screen. Reddit threads have said this to be because of a cable that isn't proparly attached or something, I wonder which cable I would have to re-secure...
Handsome Mickey the display one
Hello, very nice and helpful video!
Do you have some pictures of the Axon 7's motherboard? This phone has a very good DAC (AK4490) but there are no additional infos about the OP-AMP etc. which ZTE use. It would be nice if you could upload some pictures where we can see all the chips on the motherboards and its name/brand.
Texas instruments
does anyone know where i can find parts to the axon 7 ?
Nah
>>>this tutorial is very helpful
I see no reference to this model or any other ZTE phones on your website. Do you sell replacement parts for that brand? If so can you provide a link?
Also on eBay original legit battery for 4$
Loudspeakers are 2 and they look biggest that other smartphones. What is their dimensions in mm?
any place known where you can buy the battery for replacement?
What is the dimensions of the 2 loudspeakers?
i dropped my phone in the water. I opened it and checked everything,
every time i turn the phone on it shows a greenscreen , i think the
problem might be with the display since i can hear it turn on , but just
can't see anything, is there a way to clean the display ribbon or take
the lcd panel out or replace it? pls help
What an awesome teardown. Also, I love the background music. Do you have a source, by any chance?
Dear Sirs! Tell me what chip provides sound amplification in the headphones when operation dedicated audio chip (brand and type of op-amp). Or give a link, where it is written. Thank you in advance and hope for help. With best regards, your subscriber and devoted fan.
it has an AKM AK 4961
Thank you for information
Thanks for this shared it!
Is this the USA variant and a retail unit?
This was hard to watch...
It says on the battery itself in this video that it's a 3140 mAh battery. Seems ZTE mislead about it being 3250 mAh and the narrator of this video apparently didn't read what's on the actual battery either as he specifically said "Lift out the 3250 milliamp per hour Axon 7 battery."
Is that really a triangle tool or a guitar pick? lmao
Wrong, guitar picks are triangle tools 😆
So no one's going to say anything about the fact that triangle tool is just a guitar pick?
people owning this phone should never have to repair it..it comes with a two year warranty unless you buy the international version with not warranty. lol but I love this do it yourself video..
Warranty doesn't cover consumables like the battery though.
i got a sim car jammed into the back of the sim card holder ;_;
Where the hell is the damn screen?!?!?! It's not on the website!!!!!!
is that sony camera sensor or zte own sensor
samsung
I need a daughter board where can I get one?
Stephon Greaves On their website.
Can someone tell me which Phone this is? He didnt say it once in the Video.
.........
ACE it was sarcasm
this phone is very bad camera just video live for Facebook
