This is the best phone I have ever had. If you know the feel and difference of having a PC on M.2 and an i7 or better processor with a solid graphics card. This is what this phone feels like. I always keep my phone for 2 years or more and this is the first one that feels exactly like it did on day one, maybe even better because of software upgrades. The battery is the only thing that needs to be replaced and that's why I'm here.
Not me my Razer phone 2 is junk so many hugs especially camera speakers are blown out and the charging port is out now... This phone lasted me 1 year and a half when others way longer. Junk phone.
I'm noticing my battery 🔋 is becoming weaker. I love my Razer 2, it has not let me down. I will need to replace the battery soon.
I know this is an old video but I just wanted to say thank you. I bought my Razer phone brand new but after just a year and a half the USB-C port died. I actually love the phone and planned on keeping it for at least 3 years. Managed to find a used usb/charging board on ebay for $30 and was able to repair it with your video. You saved me from having to drop $400+ on a new phone!
Glad it was able to help you out! :)
Do you have a link to that? I've had the same issue, all I can find is a $55 one
@@tkidmstr Sadly I don't think I'll be much help. The eBay seller was ant8300 but it doesn't look like he has any right now.
@@darkrocker246 aw, yeah I thought I saw the listing you were referring to. Thanks for replying either way.
@@tkidmstr no problem, good luck.
Wow bro, I'm at awe with your level of expertise! IDK you guys, I'm pretty impressed with this level of skill, looks a bit easy at the beginning. However, I know if I went ahead and disassemble my phone to like this there's no way in hell I can put it back together. I'll have to find out phone repair shop that would be both professional and reasonable do the job for me. Like so many of you have said in the comments, I also love my Razer Phone 2. It's by far the best phone I've ever had, and that's also why I'm here.
Great disassembly, very informative
Thanks!
I had this phone for almost 1 year and I am in love with it, I am going to change the termal paste soon and I will prob keep the phone for another 5 years if I can
👍
Great tutorial, thanks a lot. Any idea where to find a replacement charger port board in 2020?
Thanks, and you're welcome. For this phone not sure, best bet would be to try n call razr and ask them if they can either service the phone or if they will send you replacement parts.
Good job Sir.
Thank you
Hello. Do I need to add new thermal paste when reassembling the phone again?
And if I do, should I remove the old paste first?
if I do need to add new paste, what kind should I get?
This was greatly informative. Im going to do a disassembly myself and try to fit in a bigger battery and replace the thermal paste.. also see if i cant live without the wireless charger and the rgb light.. i am making an aluminum backplate to help with heat dissipation and the bigger battery so i can pull more performance and game time out of the unit, planning on overclocking mine. Man i am glad they didnt just outright glue the fucking battery into the device and opted for screws, makes servicing and modding it much easier of a proposition
Great video, I am going to reference it, just wondering if the power button/fingerprint scanner can be removed and placed back in again? Dropped my phone and unfortunately knocked the power button in and its stuck always pressed. So just want to see if I can remove it and place it back in to see if that fixes it.
Hi, yes once you disassemble the phone, there are two screws holding the bracket that covers the power button and cable. Once you remove the bracket you can pull out the power button/sensor assembly out.
@@PBKreviews Thanks, it seems the drop made a very slight dent to the case, cant even see the difference with the naked eye but a dent enough so the power button was stuck pressed against the metal bracket inside. I had to file down the bracket so the power button assemble had just enough room so it wont stay pressed. Fixed now! Thanks!
@@liljuny glad to hear you fixed it. Your welcome
When you press on the back of the Razer Phone 2, is there a sound like adhesive being stuck and removed?
Yes there is, its probably the adhesive behind the logo light panel. Could be annoying for some .
I have the same problem
Is the memory for this phone on the main board i shattered my screen and bought a parts phone, hoping to just switch over the main board and be done.. First teardown ever
Hi! Is there any battery replacement you could recomend? I have this phone since december last year and i know it was sitting collecting dust for a year in best buy, i bought it for 400$ i want to replace my battery since is not lasting like when i purchased it
I bought one for 30$ on amazon.
Nice
Any tips on how to clean the speaker grills? It seems quite destructive digging all the way into the lower part of the phone to get at the speakers, so i could remove them, clean them and the grill, and put it all back together. Is there an easier solution?
You can try to use a small brush or tooth brush to brush them out.
Interesting that they but a (what I presume is an) antenna wire over the the usb cable.
Ya, I'm not too sure what those wires are for, however I still don't understand why many manufactures still use those when I would expect them just to run the lines through a flex cable or the main board itself. Those wires are easy to damage when trying to remove and hard to put back on as well.
Can you just replace the front screen glass? Is that possible? If so is it do-able?
No its not possible. Only factories and professionals with special machines and tools can do that, end users can't
Can we charging in wireless if the phone does't chargered in usb..?
So my friend has this phone and the power button is stuck the the repair guys are saying it’s 100% unfixable without damaging the screen is that true?
Hi, where can I buy the charging port?
My Razer Phone 2 won't charge. Where can I buy a charging port replacement. Ist would be nice If someone, who found one could post the link.
You can try messaging this seller to see if they have anymore but their listing shows sold out right now www.ebay.com/itm/RAZER-2-RZ35-0259UR10-R3U1-CHARGING-PORT-RZ35-0259UR10-R3U1-CHARGING-PORT-/223839487467 . You can also contact razer to see if they have repair options
10:00 min if the USB type C had the black thin paper thing like cut or disconnected, much more of seperated does that mean d have to get a brand new one? and if so any idea where to look for? im currently wireless charging but i cant keep it up for long.
yea, the sub board/charging port board would need to be replaced. At the moment can't seem to find any available online, so your only option would be to send it in to razer to repair for you.
@@PBKreviews costly 🤣 might buy a used razer for such price with the part needed and with extra as well xd
What size Phillips, is it a 000?
Question. My razor phone just stopped charging for some reason and I might try to replace the battery but I have some important stuff on it so I was wondering replacing the battery will it wipe everything or effect the stuff in storage in anyway?
Hi, no replacing the battery will not affect storage.
@@PBKreviews amazing but I have semi fixed the problem, if I position my phone at the right angle my phone will keep on flashing the charging screen and every time I turn on my phone it boosts up in battery power
My razor 2 doesn't charge I thought it was a computer problem and I factory reset it but it did not make it difference it just charges so slowly it takes me a day or two to get it to 100% should I replace a charger port or battery or both
Have you tried a different charger? Also it's possible it might be a battery or charger port issue, you wouldn't know until you tested both ( of which trying a replacement battery would be easiest to do first).
@@PBKreviews ok I tried to use a couple different chargers and it doesn't seem to be a loose connection from the charge er I u could get me some links I could find parts thx
If I were to replace the charging port do I need to get that board attached to it as well? Or can the port be detached from the board
you would need to replace the charger port with that small board since the cable is embedded into that board so its not a dis-connectable cable
@@PBKreviews ah shit, thanks :)
@@kierain23 no prob :)
Can I remove the wireless charging coil and instead put thermal pads? I never ever use wireless charging.
You can, but I don't see there being much benefit of using thermal pads, since its only the battery on the other side and not actually the copper head spreader that you would want to dissipate heat from.
where is the main microphone located ?
Jesus fucking christ I've been searching all over the internet for the microphone location
@@superguy9413 I believe there's only one and it's at the top. Little pinhole for it.
RIP Razer Phone
I have a bad charing port and Razer will not send one, only want to take my phone for a long time, wipe its data and charge me a heavy cost. Any way to fix it, or other ports to replace it with?
It really sucks tbh, I just got a new phone because I was tired of the issue, alternatively you could also use a wireless charging pad. Although no data transfer of course.
I was trying to charge my phone through a cable, and it kept jumping from charging to not charging. So I plugged the cord in and out multiple times until suddenly the phone turned off (the battery was at 7%). I tried to charge it with a wireless charger (which usually works) and it still didn't work. The phone is not responding at all, not even a sign that says it requires charging. What does this mean?
Hmm not sure. Have you tried holding the volume down and power button for 30 seconds to see if it will reboot? Might be a bad battery as well or your charger port might have shorted not sure. Hopefully it didn't short out your motherboard.
So, anyone able to find any replacement parts for sale?
I've found used parts on eBay that's about it.
@@Vic9mm anything except ebay? im from indonesia though,, not found anything yet
they have the back plate on amazon
@@TegarBajigur Do you find the replacment part? atau terbengkalai hp nya sekarang bang
Ive found some on eBay and aliexpress
So basically.... How to replace a razer phone 2 battery:
Step 1: go to razer.com.
Step 2: add razer phone 2 to shopping cart.
Step 3: Proceed to checkout.
haha
Pretty much it. I'm currently here watching this because mine has a swollen battery, barely used it..
This is much easier than some other phones that have permanent adhesive holding the battery in, I could see it not being worth it to replace the screen if it breaks though.
I have two razer phones but I need to transfer the battery from one to another will this work?
yes as long as they are the same model phone it will work
@@PBKreviews thank you sir appreciate you
@@FinesseFlightOfficial you're welcome
@@PBKreviews so i cant swap the battery for a chinese one? Or one from a different brand?
@@jaimdiojtar It would have to be a battery that is specific for your phone. It's not like back in the day where one battery would work for a range of phones. As long as the battery is made specific for your phone it would work but I would personally try to use an original nothing else. Aftermarkets do not last long at all or cause issues with the operation of the phone.
how hot do you need to get phones to loosen the glue?
Using a hair dryer, just heat it up as you go. Hot to the touch, then you can use a suction tool to help you lift up to give you leverage to get a pry tool in between and apply heat as needed along the way if it is still too difficult to pry it off.
Can you take it apart without heating it up and I am fine with damaging mine as it's broken beyond repair so I just want to see the inside
Yea you can, would just be harder to pry off.
@@PBKreviews
Ok I may try later once I remember where I put it
Anyone know where can I get speaker grill for this phone
Not sure at the moment
what battery can be a replacement for the battery in the razer phone 2

@@PBKreviews thank you i might buy it but i was asking really what other phone batteries are compatible with it
@@jerrykubiak5945 Oh, probably no other battery would work for it since the connector position and type would be different as well as compartment where the battery sits
@@PBKreviews i see i. my head i was thinking there are just so many ways they can make them they are bound to make batteries similar
Can I take a battery out of one razer phone and put it in another?
Yes, same model same battery can be exchanged
Can the usbC be replaced easy without taking it all apart?
You would need to take the back off as well as the cover and bottom assembly to gain access to it. Basically you wont have to remove the motherboard but you will still need to take the phone apart to replace the part.
@@PBKreviews okay just not a full gutting. That is doable, better get my gloves. I seem to have high electrical field in my body. Watch batteries and such drain real fast on me heh.
anyone know where to get a back glass replacement for this phone ???
Probably not available yet, try contacting razer and see if they offer any replacement options
I broke mine too but they they dont send replacement parts. they fix it and it uses the warranty
I need a charge port! Please comment if you know where I can get one
mine is barely working when phone is on, but when the phone is off, it's working great.Go figure
@@user-cd1ss9yj8q wireless charger is the best option
@@philosophy4242 does fast charging work with wireless charger?
@@philosophy4242 does fast charging work with wireless charging?
so expensive and so fragile. i wanted to see where was located the wireless charging connector cause wireless charging stand can't be purchased anymore and still having 6 LG G3 charging supports all around my home. i hope they will work with this razer phone 2 i've just found for 160$ in very good condition on ebay
yea they are fragile.
its possible change batery ?
yes
So how do I repair the charger port?
You would have to replace the sub board/charger port board
i'm scared to use this telephone in my everydays life, especially for jogging. cause it's precious. i know razer phone 3 will never come down to 160$ that fast and i will have to preserve it for years. i already have a lumia 735 but for apps such has happn you need to have an android device always with you to increase your network circle. anyway, protective glass and sleeve looks like a must have with this kind of product.
No razor phone 3 coming
@@jessz9284 yes but not a 160 $ ^^ maybe one more zero ^^
The site does not even support or sell mobile phones anymore. I have been trying to find a USBC replacement part or anything to solve my charging issue.
@@jessz9284 the razer phone was discontinued for sefety reasons (not pass tests in europe for magnetic harmful frequencies), that's why you can found it 150$ instead 1500$ on ebey ;-)
Cant you replace the charging port without changing the whole charging board?
It would require soldering knowledge to de solder the charger port and solder a new one on.
@@PBKreviews thank you for your reply. Yeah I haven't been able to find the whole charging board online, and I live in Venezuela.. the technician I contacted said he could do it but I wasn't entirely sure if that was a possibility.. thank you for the video and the reply
@@PBKreviews is there a risk of losing the information on the phone while doing this?
how to replace the lcd screen on rp2
Once you have disassembled the phone as shown in the video, its just held on with adhesive and you can heat it up and pry it off the midframe.
Nice. Using a razor to remove the razer.
:)
I have a quick and possibly stupid question: where the wireless charging nodes located? I use a wireless charging pad and I have to keep moving the phone all around until I get a charge. However, it is super unreliable.Thank in advance everyone!!
Hi, its the black square pad with the coil (circle pattern within it) on the back. Pretty much from the middle back of the phone to the lower bottom of the phone.
@@PBKreviews I bought this pad but it chargers very particularly - i have to spend like 10 minutes for the proper placement. Would you recommend some affordable and accessable wireless chargers - my charging port is completely messed up?
Such a shame that you can't buy batteries anywhere. I'd already own this phone if they weren't meant to be so disposable.
Yep, have you tried contacting razer to replace it for you?
So thats the vapor chamber 10:15 ?
Its just a thin copper piece thats adhered to the frame to disperse heat, not a heat pipe or vapor chamber.
pwrdbykyank really? Another marketing gimmick saying its a thick (not that thick) vapor chamber then. :/
Like ur video btw, hope u can do teardown for Xiaomi Black Shark Helo, wanna see the new dual liquid cooling they have on their gaming phone. Subscribed :)
Not sure how something that thin can be a vapor chamber but ya it was a very thin copper flat against the midframe, im sure it disperses the heat well but again i dont like how they put it behind the screen. Also thanks, i will look into getting that phone and doing one. Im going to post one of the rog phone and the red hydrogen one phone soon so keep an eye out for it
@@PBKreviews What I question is the choice to put the battery basically right up against the copper heat transfer plate. Vapor chamber or not, I suspect it will get the battery warmer than it would otherwise, which is not great.
True, there are those two flex cables running in between the copper and battery, however not sure if that helps any. Aside from the heat, the whole removal of the battery with that metal plate is actually a plus in my opinion because it made the removal of the battery very easy compared to when its adhered down and requires you to pry it off and warp the battery etc.
Where is the microfone
the main mic you speak into is @9:30 in the video to the bottom left of the video under where the vibrator motor sits. Its a small rectangle gold metal piece.
@@PBKreviews thanks man!
improve lights in video
Take off speaker grill if didn't know u can remove them and remove screen easier 😂🤦🏼♀️
The razr phone 2 is taken apart from the rear not front, so removing the speaker grills really does nothing. The razr phone 1 is different and yes on razr phone one you take the speaker grills off first.
I own razer 2 that's how mine was removed
@@PBKreviewsdo you know where I could find replacement speaker grills?
Where the f*** is the front microphone
the main microphone is located on the bottom right corner of the charger port board. Its a small gold rectangular metal piece.
Aaaaaaand on the first step I cracked my back glass.......
Sorry to hear that. They are fragile you need to be patient and take your time as well as apply heat to loosen the adhesive a bit.
@@PBKreviews I did apply heat to loosen the adhesive but it still cracked. At least my phone case will cover it up.
@@solesoul2108 Yup. Just incase you need a replacement, there is one on ebay : www.ebay.com/itm/Replacement-MIRROR-Black-Battery-Door-Cover-Tool-for-Razer-Phone-2-5-72-ZVHB703/193748405903?hash=item2d1c4e0e8f:g:4JwAAOSwLKxfrqz2
Fuk this Shit . im just gonna buy a New One 🤣🤣🤣
Ok so u didnt show how to take the screen out... thanks for nothing..
As I have told others before, after taking the phone apart, all that's left is for you to pry the screen off. Its only held on with adhesive. You just heat it up and pry it off the frame. The point is you need to take the phone apart to be able to disconnect the screen cable and be able to reconnect the screen cable for your new screen. If you can't figure out that part then you should not even be taking a phone apart to begin with because you will most likely damage parts along the way of the disassembly which will render your phone useless even before you get to the screen part. It's like taking the bolts off a rim that's on a car then asking someone ok now that the bolts are off, how do I remove the rim with tire off the car? you just pull it off.
Does that code on the charging port board give you any type of part number? Are there generic charging ports that will work with this phone? Razer won't sell me a part and I cannot find it online with only a razer 2 charging port search. Thanks for your help!
Hi, I checked online and couldn't find a replacement either. Have you asked razer if they offer send in repair service?
@@PBKreviews thanks for checking, they wanted like $300 and wouldn't sell the part so I passed
@@Penzza19 oh, ya that's not worth it. Just keep checking on ebay and google sometimes people list it.
