    The guide provides step-by-step instructions to replace the motherboard in a Samsung Galaxy Note, including removing components like the battery, SIM card, and rear case.

    The guide indicates that the rear case can be removed by prying with a plastic opening tool or fingernail in the divot to the right of the rear-facing camera, near the volume rocker, and then lifting and removing the rear case from the phone.

    The motherboard needs to have the display cable, front-facing camera cable, headphone jack/earpiece speaker cable, digitizer cable, soft button cable, USB board cable, and antenna cable disconnected using a spudger.
