I love watching your videos even when I do not own some of these devices because they are all so unique, we'll thought out and intricately put together for the most part that I want to see what makes them tick. Your explaining all so calmly and fully is just icing! Cheers from Kansas City and keep the tutorials coming please.

Bought a second hand 1020 off the bay, cracked screen, damaged camera housing scratched back looked ragged, looks like it'd been stood/stamped on, got the bits from Ebay new screen and complete new back, followed this slowly, took me about 40 minutes including getting everything laid out,, Was over the moon when I got it all together and it all worked, I did not cut the heat tape from the battery, warmed it up and peeled it off the board side but it worked a treat, Thank you for your disassemble tutorials, phenomenal stuff, keep em coming

[@Cashman94]

I have this cell phone. Now I know the key features what is making this phone thick and the size of the image sensor. Thanks a lot. Was eagerly waiting for your disassembly of 1020. You are genius.

[@Inventor22x]

I managed to replace a broken usb port on my Lumia 1020. Its a slightly destructive process, however. For those attempting to replace it themselves, this is how I did it: Tools: - Small flathead screwdriver - paper clip - flush cutting side wire cutter (Google it, look at first image) - Super glue. I use Loctite 414. - Torx screwdrivers for case dis/reassembly Materials: 1x Nokia Lumia 1020 usb/microphone assembly. I ordered one off Ebay, since etradesupply won't sell a single component order that is only a few dollars. Estimated time: 30 min. Steps: 1. Follow LE55ONS' video until 6:18, removing the circuit board from the frame. 2. Face the side of the phone with the usb assembly away from you. 3. On top of the usb assembly there will be a small black rubber flap. Directly to its right will be a section of hard black plastic, epoxied to the case, and holding the usb plug down. Wedge the flathead screwdriver between the right side of the usb plug and underneath the hard black plastic, until the hard plastic breaks away. You should see a small slot that the usb plug is channeled in. 4. Now looking at the microphone, insert the flathead in between the case and the speaker (left of the mic), and push the case away far enough to pull out the microphone. 5. Using the flush cutting wire cutters, cut away the black plastic (part of speaker) holding down the left side of the usb port. 6. use the flathead screwdriver to shave away plastic from the speaker until you can remove the usb assembly. 7. Practice reinserting and removing the old assembly a few times before inserting the new usb assembly. 8. Remove the small rubber flap from the old assembly. You will need it for the new assembly. 9. Now to reassemble. Place the rubber flap on the new usb port, then install the usb port. 10. Then using the same technique in 4. to remove the microphone, insert the new one. 11. Using the paperclip, bend one end out to make a small stick. Put a small droplet of super glue on the end, and glue the left and right sides of the usb port. The glue will seep into the channels. Press fit for 30 seconds until the glue is partly cured, and the port is snug. Try plugging in a micro usb cable and see if the usb port loosens or wiggles. Reapply glue as necessary. 12. Reassembly the case as per LE55ONS' video. 13. Enjoy a working phone.

[@markbeckitt1445]

best I've seen for the lumia by a mile. easy to listen to and easy to see what you were doing thanks,, keep em coming

[@steveraby6023]

Thank you for a very simple and precise tutorial. I have the same phone which is water damaged and I now feel comfortable doing a disassembly after watching your video.

[@DC9848]

Great Tutorial! Used your expertise with my lumia 920 and now with the battery replacement on the 1020. You deserve a medal! Keep up the great work!

[@emeanyack]

This is the best replacement guide I've seen so far.

[@nicnepovim]

hi, thanks a lot. My wife dropped her phone in dishwasher :))) and the assist light was on all the time after that.I ordered new flash unit and was following this great video and managed to fix it :) once again thanks

[@cheo20071]

Hi+nicnepovim , where you buyed your flash? and how much it coast? Thanks a lot. (excuse my bad inglish)

[@rypi5489]

Well it worked for me. I manged to change my Micro USB with the aid of this video. A well done, very clear and concise instructional video. :-)

[@LambChopper678]

That was an outstanding tutorial, thankyou very much - I successfully changed the camera lens

[@J_C_576]

Thank you! The Lumia 1020 is a design marvel. I'm glad I could see how its put together. The camera module is huge!

[@ElChaker]

Excellent video!! Just fix and old lumia 1020 and now it´s brand new. Still now one of the best cameras unbeatable 41 mega pixels.

[@FrankBloise]

awesome video, replaced my lumia 1020 housing in 15 minutes. Keep it up!

[@islandtime1402]

Very nicely done! It amazes me how well made this phone is and how repairable it is in comparison to many others.

When will you do an iPhone 5s tutorial? I haven't broke mine, but I've watched millions of yours, and there just pure amazing! And I have an iphone 5s, so it will just be great to watch!

[@LE55ONS]

I have a new case and screen sitting here for the 5s and hope to get hold of one soon..

[@lteles]

What happened to your videos? I gound some of yours quite helpful a couple of years ago. Ghe best I could find ! Hope you get back on, in case I need any more help ! Great work !

[@kxriss]

Hey man I need to see a Nokia lumia 1520 video soon. All your videos are excellent.

[@maxlol0]

Thank you. Successfully replaced my noisy main camera module without damage to components. Except that i had a little scratch at the battery and a little dent on the metal shield because i used too much strength without a thin enough tool to apply force at the correct direction. Half of the price to fix it myself compared to sending it for Microsoft service.

[@tobiasjon27]

Hi, Your video has been really helpful, but do you know a way of removing the hard drive?

[@19EC90]

Such an amazing person, you make it so easy! Thank you.

[@janj.holvoet7257]

Thanks for this video, it was great help for replacing my battery

[@Broxine]

thanks, just swapped my old 32GB mainboard with a 64GB one. your video was of great help. thanks again. you take donations ? :)

[@AhmerghausiTheMAG]

+Broxine from where did you get that 64GB mainboard O.o.........

[@Broxine]

from an old O2 lumia 1020 bought on ebay. then reflashed with Nokia Care Suite 5. sadly there is no option to do a full restore of all options and stuff, like on iOS

[@mudassar34]

amazing quality video and well explained, but the reason for watching today was not mentioned....the black antenna cable

[@AndoniOrtizdeGuinea]

Thanks for the video. The best one I've seen. I've just replaced the main camera due to the famous squeaky sound of the OIS and it seems it's fixed. My question is: What is the copper colour sticker on the camera? Is it necessary? Because the replacement camera module did not have it. Thanks in advance

[@MrMikel1966]

Excellent guide, it helped me replace my flash unit. A big thankyou. :)

Many thanks for this video tutorial, very well done and extremely useful!!!

Save my phone more than once great video well done!

[@ewgoforth]

Hi, thanks I was able to use your videos to swap the screen and camera module from my old dead Lumia 1020 to the one I currently use.

[@chembleton]

Excellent video as per usual. It is really necessary to cut the heat sink tape if for example you wanted to put the mainboard and battery into a new case? Can the two pieces not be lifted out together?

[@predality]

thanks for the video, because this video i´ve replace the display of my own 1020 ^^

[@maxtofone]

Thanks a lot for this wonderful and useful video! Kind regards and Blessings, MaxT

[@mortenbock]

Very helpful when I had jammed a sim adapter into the 1020, that then got stuck. Thank you.

[@MarkoTomic]

Great video as always man! I've been waiting so long for this! Thanks so much :D

[@injury99]

nice detailed video. Maybe I was just lucky but I was able to replace the headphone jack/secondary mic assembly without removing the main board. Pulling the main camera left enough room to pull it out, and the flex plug didn't seem near as fiddly/difficult to connect as the front camera one is. Do you think it would be possible, if one had to, to remove the mainboard and battery together so you don't have to cut the heatsink tape?

[@oiseaudenuit]

very well made! thank you! i replace my usb connector not easy! after this and rolling back to wp8.1 from wp10 my flash is not working do you have an idea on what to check? thanks👍

[@AhmerghausiTheMAG]

So how we can change the casing if we want to as you said at 12:35 that the adhesive is so great so it's impossible to dissemble it further without damaging the case...?? bcz i want to change my casing bcz it has been cracked from the bottom side of speaker... and this is one great video i've seen... thanks a lot

[@kescha1995]

+Ahmer ghausi use heat gun to remove it

[@AnaGomesmyst]

thanks for the video! your tutorials are awesome :)

[@treemoreplant2199]

Hi, great tutorial. However I'm having some trouble with two stripped screws at 2:30. I've tried various methods like rubber band, tape, super glue but to no avail. Do you have any tips? Cheers!

[@LE55ONS]

Kai Feng Tan I would try using a good quality set of torx drivers, you might find the next size up will grip enough to loosen them..

[@sultanabran1]

that's really good! thanks for putting this up. i'm not sure whether i'm going to replace the camera module myself or not. my camera doesn't focus. the replacement camera module i got from etradesupply doesn't have lens cover built in. the one you removed in this video shows a cover over the lens.

[@LE55ONS]

I've looked at the photo's on etrade and it looks too small, can you try to see if it fits ok, and if the focus then works ?

[@sultanabran1]

i'm not going to take my phone apart. i'm going to take it back for a warranty repair. if i take the phone apart i'll lose the warranty, and i can't even be sure the fault is the camera module. also the replacement camera i have doesn't seem to be the same as the original, so there are too many reasons for me not to take my phone apart. sorry i couldn't help. after i get my phone repaired, i'll be happy to post you my replacement camera module.

[@LE55ONS]

sultanabran1 Thank you

[@sultanabran1]

***** i'm not going to take my phone apart. i'm going to get it fixed under warranty. it's a shame cause i can take photos of things that are really close. the camera is a gem. i'll just have to wait till it gets fixed by nokia.

[@sultanabran1]

***** i've finally got my phone back from being repaired by Nokia. a few weeks since, the bottom left of the screen has slightly come loose and the screen doesn't sit snug in the body. all corners but the bottom left are sitting tight. i've read a few other people have had this problem. i'd say the Nokia technician hasn't assembled it properly. i'm thinking about loosening the screw under the sim tray, pressing the screen back down and tightening it back up. would that help? or have the clips lost their tight holding ability because it's been disassembled? in any case, Nokia 'should' either fix it or replace it. because it was all done by them.

[@NaniteNanitian]

Great video and calm voice! How easy is it to replace the power button etc. flex. Is it under the epoxy held frame?

[@benjamin_flux]

This has been very helpful, thanks a lot!

[@jeffreychavey4161]

Thanks! Now -- did you ever repair a 1020 where the camera stops working? I haven't been able to find any documentation on why this happens or how to fix. I tried a new mainboard and replacement camera -- no luck. Had to get another phone but would love to have the 1020 back for the camera alone

[@MukteshMehta]

Thanks mate! helped fix my power button issue :)

[@paulatreides9016]

Thanks for the great video, unfortunately I cannot find any cases to fix the defect power button problem that are not only protection cases on the internet... Any ideas. Thx

[@jasperiangonzales9864]

my camera grip does not work properly. when attached to the camera it just shoots continuously as long as it has power. can you make a teardown of it? much appreciated. your video is awesome!

[@ozlemetjeremyperret7043]

Hi, and thank you for this really good video. I don't understand what you say at 8:41. In fact, one of the pins is broken, I bought a spare part (this 6-pin thing), but I cannot understand how I can remove the damaged one and insert the new one.. Are there some videos that shows this difficult part? thank you!

[@LE55ONS]

it can only be replaced using a 'hot air' soldering iron. A local tv repair shop should have the tools and skills to do this

[@ozlemetjeremyperret7043]

***** thank you so much!

[@ozlemetjeremyperret7043]

***** sorry to bother you again my friend. Do you think it is possible to do a proper job with a normal soldering iron? Thankxx

[@LE55ONS]

oj perret no its not possible as you need to heat all 6+ solder contacts at the same time or it breaks the copper circuit board when trying to lift it off

[@ozlemetjeremyperret7043]

***** ok thank you I understood now!

[@johncarson2128]

Great video, thanks. The USB charging port connection is quite loose on my 1020, I have purchased a spare but is it possible to change it reasonably easily or is it bonded in with the loudspeaker? I don't want to crack (Not literally) the phone open if I can't get the job done. Thanks.

[@nutakiwiiu5973]

Thank you! It was a pleasure replacing the battery with the help of this brilliant video! Would you happen to know if it is possible to replace the lights behind the Windows-key, back-key and search-key as well? My back-key seems a bit dim and my Lumia can never be too perfect! ;)

[@sadique888]

your video very clear... what cam you use... plz...

[@magc08]

Le55ons, thanks for you're great videos, they have been helpful. Are you going to upload any new videos any time soon?

[@dredman1628]

Excellent video tutorial. Just a question though. I bought a replacement rear housing, as my USB port is shorting. As someone else mentioned below, how would you go about swapping the casing, since you mention the speaker assembly is epoxied in and almost impossible to remove without damaging the case? I gather I would have to destroy the old case to get it out, but then that means I would have to glue it into the new casing?

[@dredman1628]

Ok for those asking - there's no need to remove and swap the speaker if you're using a new rear housing. I purchased a brand new rear housing from ebay since my usb port was giving problems, and the replacement housing had both the usb port and the speaker built in already. Thus, this video was 100% perfect for me, since I just had to swap the motherboard, battery (which I replaced one time with a new one), camera and locking mechanism. THANK YOU LE55ONS!!!

[@eliek6291]

What is the tool to use at 2:50 ? I try something similar but I can not take if off, any tips to help me?

[@GaneshUdhayasankar]

Great disassembly video! Just got a question though. I noticed that you didnt remove the USB and Microphone flex. My Lumia 1020's USB charging port has to be replaced and I noticed the availability of the Charging Port Flex Cable Ribbon at etradesupply. Can the USB Flex be removed without taking off the battery and the main board? Thanks in advance!

[@yassinehani]

thx for the tutorials may i know how you know that this connector is for gps and this for x is there a website to see all the parts names on each phone?

[@FaryalSaeed]

Dear +LE55ONS Thanks for making the detailed video. I've a question about the main mic (which is connected to charging port) replacement. Is it possible to replace the mic/charging flex cable or whole housing will be replaced? Kindly guide.

[@alexandertomin3403]

Why did you cut the black tape, which goes from processor to the battery? If you do not have to replace the battery, for example, the battery can be easily removed together with the mainboard, so you can keep that black tape solid.

[@5T3F4N_I]

that's what I was thinking... O_o

[@QUADBOYification]

Good video. Do you have an idea why some or even all Lumia 1020's are heating up? Mine drains battery even if it's off and never lasts more then 4 hours (OFF). Is there a reason to suspect it might be a short somewhere on the board or the wireless charging connector flat cable section ? Why is it 210 K Ohm if you measure it. Have you any experiences on this power drain problem or know a way to extend the battery life without that leak ?

[@fortlincoln]

With this VOICE, he should have been a HYPNOTIST. How do I get the CAMERA to start working again??

[@funpanst]

Hey! Thanks for the video. Can you show how to replace only the glass?

[@LE55ONS]

I no longer have the phone, but there are some other 'glass only' videos on here

[@jamesalbright7377]

Thanks for this great video!! I wonder if you can tell me what the pad is on the back camera. Mine had foam on it and I lost it when replacing the camera. Thanks in advance

[@LE55ONS]

it shouldn't make much difference to the performance as its only an earthing contact

[@rickihunter]

great video. do you know if it's possible to get the charging port out of the case? my 1020 has developed an intermittent charging problem. I have managed to obtain a replacement for a few £ but now it seems like it's part of the main body of the case and thus cannot be removed

[@RobbieRobski]

Nice video. What network are you on? I noticed you have the datasense app.

[@TheLinux3214]

*****, great videos. How do you replace the USB connector? Ive disassembled the device, but the tightness of the connector's fit makes me cautious about prying it out. Are there clips, screws, and other precautions I should know about? Thanks, man!

[@Sutnamhoi22]

Thanks you! I have safe my water dum phone via watched this video!!

[@hi-trackaerialphotographya5311]

This is going to possibly sound mad. However do you think I could take the internals and rehouse them in another case? I have 3 of these and have been toying with an idea to pop the internals in a go pro style case? As you can imagine I only have a need for the 41mp camera. I am planning to use the sensor on a special lightweight drone. Any advice would be great.

[@95shark27]

Thanks buddy, battery changed.

[@MrDexi87]

This guy is master!

[@R3llim87]

On the sim card reader, do you have a source to purchase one of these? My phone seems to not read sims,and there is a bit of corrosion on the inside as well. I am thinking the whole reader needs replacement but can only find trays. Its either that or finding a whole main board, though this is my only issue with the phone. Seen a number of similar instances reported.

[@brianantoine3103]

Do you absolutely have to cut the black heat sink tape.What if you were somehow able to save the tape? would the phone work as normal?

[@kataokasaga]

great video!
