Introduzione
Sono passati un paio di anni da quando Google ha lanciato il suo ultimo smartphone da 5", il Nexus 5, e molte cose sono cambiate da allora: la famiglia Nexus si è arricchita con un phablet da 6", un tablet molto apprezzato da 7"e perfino da un set-top box con tutte le funzioni possibili. C'è una cosa però che non è cambiata: stiamo smontando i Nexii nel momento esatto in cui il costruttore (in questo caso, LG) inizia a produrli! Oggi è il turno del Nexus 5X, il successore del Nexus 5 che ci aveva colpito per il suo progetto modulare e la facilità di accesso. Il 5X avrà le stesse elevate valutazioni? Mettiti attorno al nostro tavolo di smontaggio mentre noi cerchiamo di scoprirlo!

Cosa ti serve
Panoramica Video
-
-
Prima di fare a pezzi l'interno del 5X, vediamo che cosa ha in serbo per noi:
-
Processore 64 bit esa-core da 1.8 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 con GPU Adreno 418 e coprocessore Android Sensor Hub
-
Fotocamera posteriore da 12,3 MP/4K con autofocus ad assistenza laser e fotocamera anteriore da 5 MP
-
2 GB di RAM LPDDR3 con 16 o 32 GB di memorizzazione interna
-
LCD IPS full HD 1920 × 1080, 423 ppi
-
Porta USB-C con supporto per ricarica rapida
-
Scanner impronte digitali Nexus Imprint
-
Android 6.0 Marshmallow
-
-
-
Great Scott! L'ultima offerta del Nexus di Google adotta una porta di ricarica reversibile USB-C a fianco della presa cuffie.
-
Quello che non è male è la velocità di ricarica aumentata (5V/3A) offerta dalla porta USB-C.
-
L'indicatore di notifica a LED RGB è nascosto sotto la griglia dell'altoparlante inferiore ed è una bella griglia di notifica 3x3. Peccato che non si muova...
-
Il retro del Nexus 5X ospita il nuovissimo lettore di impronte digitali Nexus Imprint, la fotocamera da 12,3 MP, il doppio flash e il misuratore di distanze laser.
-
-
-
Proprio come il suo parente più anziano, il 5X usa delle clip per fissare il case posteriore arresto del telefono.
-
LG sembra aver colto il messaggio sulla nostra opinione in merito alla colla.
-
Adesivi? Dove stiamo andando noi non ci servono adesivi.
Here’s a series of GDocs that have pictures of the locations and descriptions of the 20 snap-tabs that hold the back cover on.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AI96...
-
-
-
Non c'è male! Le cose si stanno mettendo bene con il 5X e possiamo dare una prima occhiata all'interno del telefono.
-
Per fortuna, l'etichetta all'interno del pannello posteriore ha tutto l'essenziale: codice IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity), Paese di origine e il numero modello: LG-H790.
-
I nostri spiriti si elevano nel trovare la batteria da 2700 mAh libera davanti ai nostri occhi: di questi tempi è difficile trovare una batteria rimovibile.
-
Ma, ahimè, non è proprio così. Il connettore della batteria è imboscato sotto il telaio centrale e per ora è totalmente inaccessibile.
Any idea if the camera lens cover is the same as another LG model? Mine's shattered already somehow (it wasn't dropped and has a case) and Google/LG aren't covering it under warranty (= paid repair)
Did you find out where you can buy the camera lens cover? My phone's Camera Lens cover and fingerprint scanner both are damaged. Can't find the parts anywhere.
Is the antenna combo actually behind the gray patch, or closer to the top where the contacts are? Where's the cellular antenna?
-
-
-
Il nostro Kit 64 punte non ha alcun problema con le 10 viti Phillips che imprigionano il telaio centrale.
-
Il midframe viene via facilmente, ma a pezzi (due pezzi, per essere esatti):
-
La metà inferiore comprende alcune antenne e l'altoparlante anteriore del telefono.
-
La metà superiore comprende il lettore di impronte digitali Nexus Imprint.
Can you add a better image of the speaker ?
Because some review said that the sound seems to go out by the back of the phone and not the front.
Also - Are the dedicated front-facing speaker (bottom) and the speaker used for phone calls (top) the same component? And, if so, do processor limitations prohibit this being a dual-front-facing speaker situation?
It looks like the glass, digitizer, frame/bezel (and... is that a heatsink) are one component. If you need to replace the glass, as you said the digitizer as well, but that picture looks like the frame/bezel is also part of the digitizer. Is that correct?
I just disassembled mine to try to replace the screen/digitizer, unfortunately it seems you're correct, I could not figure out how to separate the front housing from the screen/digitizer. I found a spare screen/digitizer assembly from etradesupply.com, but they did not sell a front housing, so I assumed you didn't need it. Maybe you could separate with a heat gun and a lot of tinkering. Because I cannot find a replacement front housing to go with the screen/digitizer assembly.
So I took mine to a local shop because I don't have a heat gun and adhesives. As I expected, you ARE able to separate the screen/digitizer from the front housing, but it is much more complex than the rest of the disassembly.
What did it cost for the repair? I don't know if any place around my area does them.
After 2yrs, processor below the RAM is causing it to heatup & bootloop. It would be great if iFixit teardown videos take this onto account on future teardowns & speak of it. So that the manufacturers would make a better design decisions. Great phone which ended up badly due to that bad design. Am working on finding a suitable 4Gb which i could replace the samsung RAM & bring it back to life. It would be great if anyone can help in suggesting a 4Gb RAM chip that can fit that socket.
Here’s a GDoc that has a photo of the starting point for lifting the midframe out:

-
In sella al telaio centrale, troviamo il
Touch IDlettore di impronte digitali Nexus Imprint. -
Capovolgiamo l'Imprint e scopriamo un chip di controllo non identificato e i nostri preferiti, i contatti a molla! Sono molto più durevoli dei tradizionali connettori a scatto ed è molto più facile averci a che fare nel corso delle riparazioni. Vittoria!
FPC 1025 fingerprintsensor from FingerprintCards Sweden.
How difficult is it to replace the fingerprint scanner? Mine stopped working and disappeared from the security settings menu. If I replace it, should the problem be solved? May it be the motherboard itself?
-
-
-
La batteria è fissata con un adesivo non troppo tenace, niente che un po' di lavoro di spudger non possa gestire.
-
Il 5X adotta una batteria da 3,8 V e 2700 mAh, 400 mAh di vantaggio sul Nexus 5.
-
Benché il 5X non supporti ufficialmente lo standard Quick Charge 2.0, Google afferma che la USB-C garantisce "quattro ore di utilizzo dopo soli dieci minuti di ricarica".
I presume the cylindrical object above the SIM tray assembly is the vibration motor? Any idea if this is the cause of a rattling noise reported by some users?
They claim 4 hours of use after 10 minutes of charging? That's certainly not the case, and appears to be a ridiculous claim.
Yeah, that's not even close to true
I found that the adhesive was a lot stronger than expected. When trying to pry it gently open, I needed to give it a bit more force which dented the battery.
Correct, strong glue hold the battery in a square outline
-
-
-
Dove siamo? Quando siamo?
-
Siamo quasi alla scheda madre, ma ci fermiamo per guardare meglio la fotocamera posteriore.
-
La fotocamera posteriore del 5X integra un sensore Sony IMX377 da 12,3 MP alle spalle di un obiettivo ƒ/2.0, una caratteristica comune con il 5X e il 6P.
-
Diversamente dalle generazioni precedenti, questa nuova fotocamera non comprende la Stabilizzazione Ottica dell'Immagine.
-
Il team di progettazione Nexus afferma che il sistema OIS non è più necessario, grazie all'aumento nella misura dei pixel (da 1,4 a 1,55 micrometri).
The nexus5x does not support EIS due to processor limitations
Thanks for the heads up Vishnu. We've updated the teardown accordingly.
This might be a stupid question, but how do they manage without OIS?
Actually, EIS can be enabled through a build.prop edit, I have 5x, and in my camera there is an option for video stabilization. So it seems that the hardware is capable but Google removed the option from the software for some reason.
Yanny M -
Does anyone know who suppplies the camera module?
-
-
-
La fotocamera anteriore da 5 MP è l'ultimo componente che si frappone alla rimozione del telefono della scheda madre.
-
La scheda madre se ne va, lasciandosi dietro lo schermo e le porte I/O... O meglio, tutte tranne la porta USB-C. Questo non è buono.
-
Come nell'LG G4, la porta USB-C è saldata alla scheda madre e non a una scheda figlia facile da sostituire. A meno che tu non sia esperto di microsaldature, se la porta si guasta dovrai sostituire la scheda madre.
-
-
-
Siamo molto delusi, la scheda madre non è alimentata da un Mr. Fusion:
-
2 GB di RAM LPDDR3 Samsung K3QF3F30BM-QGCF, sopra il processore Qualcomm Snapdragon 808
-
Memoria flash eMMC 5.0 da 16 GB Toshiba THGBMFG7C2LBAIL
-
Ricetrasmettitore LTE Qualcomm WTR3925 (presente anche nell'LG G4/HTC One M9)
-
IC Quick Charge 2.0 Qualcomm SMB1358
-
IC gestione alimentazione Qualcomm PMI8994 (c'è anche su LG G4, HTC One M9 e OnePlus Two)
-
Codec audio Qualcomm WCD9330 (come in LG G4 e OnePlus Two)
-
Modulo amplificatore di potenza per LTE Skyworks 77814-11 (presente anche nello OnePlus Two)
-
-
-
Microcontroller 32-bit 100 MHz RISC ARM Cortex-M4 ST Microelectronics STM32F411CE
I had salt water entering throught he sim card connector. Now the phone doesn't charge and red led is flashing. I disassembled motherboard and after cleaning the salt around the SIM card connector I realized that 2 SMD components were burnt. Looking at the step 10 or 11 picture, those components are placed on the left bottom corner of the SIM connector. One above the other. Anybody can identify them?
For what STM32F411CE is used?
-
-
-
Dall'altra parte...
-
IC gestione alimentazione Qualcomm PM8994
-
Amplificatore di potenza Quad-band GSM/EDGE e Multi-mode Avago ACPM7800 (come nell'HTC One M9)
-
Qualcomm QCA6174 (802.11ac Wi-Fi 2x2 MIMO Combo SoC)
-
Controller NFC NXP PN548
-
Routing switch RF Micro Devices RF1149A
-
IC Envelope tracking Qualcomm QFE1100
-
Avago BFI523
The flip side's power management chip is PM8994 instead of PMI8994 (the one in the front side is indeed PM"I"8994). I made the change already but I guess it needs some approval?
May I ask why my edit was declined?
Oh no! Human error on my part. I must have been looking at the front side of the board when I denied your edit, sorry about that!
The microphones are actually Knowles SPH0641LM4H-1. The number on the can, listed above, is actually a job number. See page 10 of http://www.knowles.com/eng/content/downl...
I'd like to see the image without the boxes, there's a component next to the QFE1100 I want to check out...

Il 5X rilancia una delle nostre soluzioni preferite: la presa cuffie con contatti a molla.
-
Ci prendiamo anche un minuto per ammirare l'ingegnoso sistema di notifica a LED con i suoi semplici contatti dorati. Brillante.
Where is the haptic feedback device?
You can see it on Step 8, South side. Just below the camera module. Looks like a coin cell
Ah OK interesting... I have seen complaints that the vibration motor makes a high pitched buzzing noise when activated. I am curious what the model of the part is and how easy it would be to replace with a similarly spec'd part.
Is it possible to remove/replace the notification LED?
I missed the step to remove and replace the notification LED. I can't find a replacement anywhere, any ideas?

-
Punteggio di riparabilità del Nexus 5X: 7 su 10 (10 è il più facile da riparare).
-
Molti componenti sono modulari e possono essere sostituiti in modo indipendente tra loro.
-
Facile trovare un cacciavite adatto alle viti Phillips standard.
-
La batteria non è immediatamente accessibile per ll'utente, ma si può sostituire perché l'operazione non è troppo complicata e non c'è troppa colla di mezzo.
-
Il gruppo display è monoblocco, quindi il vetro e l'LCD devono essere sostituiti insieme anche se uno solo dei due si rompe.

the back cover looks like is had space for a wireless charge pad but as the 6p is metal and could not have wireless charging they wimped out.
agreed, I'd love to know what that light grey area is on the inside of the back cover.
I'm sure the NFC antenna is in there
Does the Nexus 5x battery size is the same as Nexus 5 2013 battery size? I'm hoping that the 5x's battery can be put inside N5 2013.
The Nexus 5X battery is 2700 mA, which is 500 more than the nexus 5's 2300 mA battery. I don't think the batteries are interchangeable.
ARM Cortex-M4 - Step 11
Would it be possible to add an aftermarket wireless QI charging sticker for this one like the LG G4?
I hope so, this is a deal breaker for me. I'm not 'upgrading' from the N5 if the new devices can't do something the previous one could.
I was holding out hopes since it's an LG made device, but looking at the pictures I don't see any pins to attach an aftermarket pad.

can the Toshiba 16 GB eMMC 5.0 Flash Memory be replaced by say a 64GB or 128GB if one could purchase them from Toshiba?
If they had moved the USB and audio jack to the top there would have been room for a monster battery.
Audio jacks belong on the bottom. USB could make sense on the top, but this would still be weird. But no audio jack should *ever* be on the top.
This is probably my favorite change from the Nexus 5.

Anyone know USB C in N5X or N6P support OTG + charge in same time? With any usb hub or adapter USB C to others port (multiple adapter with HDMI, USB, usb C for charging...).
Maybe it's must be support in kernel, but is HW able it?
Yes.. you can buy otg cable from Amazon.com it should be 3.0 and USB 3.0 male-male cable.. and you can charge your phone using OTG
Is it possible to replace ear speaker mesh cover without replacing the whole LCD + digitizer panel? Mine got scratched rather bad and I was wondering if there is an easy solution.
Hi, does anyone know if the phone will still function properly if the rear and front cameras are removed?
The phone still works for every other feature - the camera app crashes whenever you try to start it, though.
hey!
Is it possible to change the charging port in Nexus 5x.?
Could the earpiece at the top be wired to work with the speaker at the bottom so media could be played through both?
Yes, there are software mods that already do this,
Hi, does anybody know where the water sensor is? My 5x seems to think that I am contantly plug-ins and unplugging my earphones while they are actually unplugged. This renders phone useless. Repair service claims proof of corrosion around jack and that motherboard needs to be replaced. Device was never droppen in water or otherwise noticably exposed to water. What of a single droplet would-be have enterde thru jack?
hi did u send the phone to US LG repair center what did they say?
did u send the phone to LG repair cneter in USA , what did they say.
Where is the Hall Sensor?
So does the Nexus 5x come with some hot wheels deloreane time machines?
I have white and pink static all on my screen, the phone is completely unfunctionable. Does anyone know what part would need to be replaced and where to buy it from? It happend after i unplugged it from the charger.
I have a Nexus 5x on Verizon and since doing a screen/digitizer/mid frame replacement I now have terrible cellular service. I do get service, it's just really bad now. Any ideas on what I may have done or what I can do to fix the problem?
I did slightly dent the metal case the houses the Qualcomm QCA6174 802.11ac Wi-Fi 2x2 MIMO Combo SoC, but that shouldn't have affected cellular LTE, right?
Hi Steve,
I have the same problem after replacing the lcd and frame. Works in strong coverage areas but not on light coverage (where it was working even with broken screen). Did you get a solution?
Thanks
Is it possible for the phone to leak a liquid or gel from the laser auto focus?
Great tear down, especially the colorcoded parts. Although it is really nice it does not help me further with my question. Does anybody know the exact locations of the antenna's? After some succesful repairs I am afraid this time with my Nexus 5 x I have overseen something. I have an issue now with my gsm antenna after replacing screen with frame. All other functions work properly so mainly I am interested in the gsm antenna but bonus points for who knows them all :). I think many will be helped with this.
Can not find it anywhere else either and the information i see here is:
1. The Wi-Fi, MIMO, and GPS antennae still reside on the rear case, along with the NFC antenna which formerly lived on its own control board
2. The lower half contains a few antennas and the phone's front-facing speaker.
Much appreciated !
Rob
are you able to fix the antenna problem? I get "No service" problem frequently and i believe it could be antenna related. Please let me know .
ravi -
I also get the no service problem and can't figure out why
My 5x also has poor reception, often no service indoors, etc. In my case I sent it for service, but apparently it is water damaged and they won't fix anything. (I've seen some pictures and it certainly looks a bit dirty inside... I bought this phone used so I don't know its history).
Anyway; when I get it back from service, I'll take it apart myself, clean it, put i back together, and hope for the best. So if anybody has some good ideas about the antenna or other things that might affect the reception, I'm interested too!

Hi,
I have the same problem after replacing the lcd and frame. Works in strong coverage areas but not on light coverage (where it was working even with broken screen). Did you get a solution?
Thanks
Follow up to my previous reply: Cleaning didn't help unfortunately .
My phone had some water damage/stains around the USB-port and the little label on the midframe had turned pink indicating water had been there too. But the phone certainly looks just fine. There must be something very subtle that severely affects reception ... (I did not attempt to remove the little covers over the chips so I don't know how it looks there)
erik -
@thundercat I am interested if you ever found a solution. I have had my Nexus 5X for 1.5 years now and in my area have rarely had issues with cell reception. My screen broke last week so I replaced it with a screen on frame part. I was very careful taking it apart, transferring over all of the components and reassembling. Everything seems to be functioning properly except my cell reception is now spotty... If I restart the phone it will get reception and drop out again.
Brock -
UPDATE: I figured out that I had a bad screen on frame part. It seems like the tape and grounding contacts were not the same material as the original. I ordered a 2nd screen on frame replacement part and installed it. Phone worked like new.... First part I ordered was from a random retailer on ebay... Lesson learned: buy from a reputable part retailer.
Brock -
@thundercat I have the exact same questions as you. I dropped my phone quite hard and now my issue is 'no service'. So no phone calls or mobile network.
Did you find the antenna?
Thanks

Hi, how did you manage taking off the metal protectors for the Avago and Qualcomm QCA6174? Are they clued and if so, how to open them.
Hey, i think my Mic is not working well, it only record sound when i shout at it. Is there anyway to replace it>?
my Nexus 5x isn't working usb OTG, when i connect charge cable from my Nexus 5x to Nexus 5, i see it no voltage out.
is there a way to manually remove the hard drive and then access it using a separate pc for data recovery?
My Nexus 5x has dropping signal issue... sometime it get signals automatically but most of time only show network with no signals.
please guide me about this problem
this problem starts when once my cell extremely hot on charging and off. after that its battery timing remains only 2 or 3 hrs with this signal dropping issue. please please guide me :-)
What is the best way to clean my Nexus 5X after it drop into sea water (salty water), batery got damaged and I got a a replacement battery, but I want to clean it and connect new battery, please let me know your comments or suggestions.
Is there a place where I could get mother board diagram for my Nexus 5X?
Hi,
I used the teardown recommendations here to replace a broken screen. I bought a screen with frame from amazon. I was able to boot up the phone after replacing the screen. However, when i enable the speakers (stereo speakers) either by playing media/videos there is no sound. I tried to check if there are loose connections, on the bottom haft of the mid-frame, a screeching sound is heard if i pressed the midframe. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Best regards,
Jan
Hello guys , My Nexus 5x is in a bootloop , done my best to factory reset -- no success , thinking to change the chip with the bootloader with a new one . Anyone knows where the chip is located? would be a waste to just throw away the phone
Thanks
I had facing same problem of bootloop it happenes once in nexus 5x please do below as per this link and you will assure get out of bootloop : https://youtu.be/Z7AmTsC4N2c please refer it
I al same problem. "Bootloop" have not found a solution. I was lookig for one here. Anyway, any help is appreciated!
I had facing same problem of bootloop it happenes once in nexus 5x please do below as per this link and you will assure get out of bootloop : https://youtu.be/Z7AmTsC4N2c
Seems like there is no dedicated sound DSP, like in the Nexus 5, to listen music with up to 60 hours battery runtime?
hola a simple question. may i remove the headphone jack without removing the motherboard assembly? thanks
Could you point where are contacts or a slot of Wi-Fi antenna?
Anyone attempted an LCD/digitizer separation and refusion? I have a perfectly functional LCD with cracked glass.
In LG Google Nexus 5X where is located the antena for the telephone used not wifi o GPS.
Hey guys. I wonder if replacing the storage memory (toshiba) would be hard to do?
I can’t really see how it hold in place and if any soldering is needed to remove it to, for example, place it on another motherboard.
1) how can you replace the USB port charger? 2) if not the port itself, the entire assembly board? where can I buy that piece? Natasha
Hello,
Is it possible to change the chip which manage the heat of the phone and cause bootloop ? My nexus5x just start to bootloop :-(.
If the chip is remplacable, where to find it ?
Thanks.

Is it possible to use nexux 5x screen as an external display for rpi? Any controllers or data sheet available for the display connectors?
How can i get a lcd controller for this nexus 5x display to use it as an external display with hdmi input or use it with rpi? Can you please tell the display ID of this nexus 5x
Love the Back to The Future easter eggs through the teardown!

I am considering putting in a thin metallic plate between the battery and back cover, so I can use it with one of those vent mount magnetic holders. I tried removing the back, but a couldn't do it without worrying about breaking it. Can you show more details on how to remove the back please?
