The ROG Phone 9 Pro is a high-performance gaming smartphone, boasting the Snapdragon 8 Elite mobile platform. It a focus on delivering an unparalleled gaming experience, alongside a sleek, stylish design.

Whether you're a tech enthusiast, a repair DIYer, or just curious about how to teardown the beastly ROG 9 Pro, you've come to the right place. In this teardown, we’ll walk you through the full disassembly process — from heating and opening the back cover, to removing the motherboard and battery safely.

🔧 Initial Preparation

Before we begin, make sure you have the necessary tools ready:

POLARTECH's Magic Self-Heating Pad
Metal and plastic pry tools
A Phillips screwdriver
Isopropyl alcohol
Tweezers

📌 Also, don’t forget to power off and remove the SIM card tray first.

🌡️ Heating and Removing the Back Cover

Heat the back of the device using the magic heating pad to soften the adhesive about 10 minutes. Once heated, insert a metal blade to open a small gap, then carefully drip in some alcohol. Slide a plastic pick around the edges to loosen the adhesive.

⚠️ Be cautious on the right side — the back cover houses a display ribbon cable. Do not lift the cover too high to avoid tearing it.

📱 Gentle Disassembly Components

Always disconnect the battery first to ensure safety during the rest of the teardown.

Before disconnecting the motherboard, we must first remove the top speaker. Carefully disconnect each BTB.

Remove the three pressure plates on the back by prying them up with tweezers and sliding them sideways. Be gentle to avoid damaging any components underneath.

Move on to the sub-board. Note that screw lengths vary — make sure to keep track of each one to avoid damaging the screen during reassembly.

In the upper portion of the phone, remove the telephone and wide-angle camera modules. Then remove the small antenna board.

🔋 Battery Removal

If you need to replace the battery,soften the adhesive with alcohol and gently lift the battery out. Damaging a lithium battery can lead to fire.

The ROG phone 9 pro has a larger battery capacity this time around at 5,800 mah hours the battery life has improved.

📝 Final Tips

As you remove each part, organise your screws and components clearly.

During reassembly, reverse the process. Pay special attention to BTB connectors and screw lengths.

✨ Final Thoughts

Before fully sealing the device, always test the screen and major functions to make sure everything works as expected. You can apply new adhesive around the edges for a secure fit.
