Introduction

This guide will instruct you how to replace the motherboard cushions of an LG Chocolate 3 Flip-phone (LG VX8560). There are no special skills required for this project, but be prepared to handle small screws and parts of the phone.

The motherboard is the “heart” of the phone. It connects all other parts of the phone together that help perform tasks. The cushions are what keep the motherboard separate from other parts of the phone, that way it does not get scratched or damaged.

Before beginning, make sure to power off your device.

    • Push from indentation and slide battery cover away from phone to remove battery cover.

  3. CpM3yjBGGI5KZl4H

    • Take out the battery once cover is off by gently prying with your fingers.

    • Using your plastic pry tool, insert the tool between the phone’s keypad cover and back cover and gently pry apart.

    • Once the covers have been separated the motherboard will be visible. Do not separate the two covers completely. The covers will be held together by a screw on the axis of the phone.

    • Locate the cushions, which should be in the corners of the motherboard.

    • Gently but firmly remove the old cushions with a pair of tweezers.

    • Replace the cushions with new ones using tweezers.

    • Be sure the cushions do not move and fall out after replacement, as they are not secure in place.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow the General Disassembly LG VX 8560 guide.
