    • Grip the sides of the motor you wish to replace and lift up.

    • Be careful not to tear the motor wires that are soldered to the motherboard.

    • Use a soldering iron to de-solder both vibration motor wires from the motherboard.

    • The positive (red) wire connects to the nearest the edge of the motherboard.

    • If you do not know how to solder, see the soldering guide for instructions. Also when soldering on circuit boards, be sure not to overheat the connection as permanent damage may result.
