Introduction
If your OnePlus 6 is powering on but is not displaying anything on the screen, will not turn on at all after fully charging, or is otherwise malfunctioning, use this guide to replace the motherboard.
The motherboard is the main communication center for all the hardware to the processor in the phone. Without a properly functioning motherboard, the phone’s components will be out of sequence with each other causing performance malfunctions such as glitches and loss of power.
Before attempting to replace the motherboard of the OnePlus 6, check out the troubleshooting page for the device to see if other solutions are available. Sometimes a connector being loose to the motherboard or faulty battery can cause glitching and power loss. If none of these solutions solve the problem, this guide will show you how to replace the motherboard.
The first step of this guide requires you to remove the back panel of the phone, which is made of glass, so be careful during removal not to shatter it.
Be sure to back up your phone to prevent memory loss if you are able to. Also, before completing this replacement guide, make sure to shut down the phone and to disconnect any outside sources.

Turn on the heat gun to a low heat and and gently heat the curved edges on the back of the phone.

Repeat until the back panel is fully released.

Using the Phillips #00 screwdriver, remove the ten 3 mm screws from the midframe.

ATTENTION - Be aware that the 10th screw is actually underneath the round white sticker marked with the green circle at the bottom left. Do not remove the screw next to it marked with the orange circle or you will damage your midframe board.

Lift the bottom of the mid frame directly up and remove it from the device.

If you have a glass back cover, be careful not to pull too much or it may crack. It's better if you keep heating the area before trying to get in with the opening picks, specially around the corners.

I was using a hairdryer on 2/3 heat level and my phone was very hot to the touch and it still wouldn't budge a millimeter to get the plastic tools in. Any advice? I'm not sure heating it more is safe for the rest of the phone, so I'm not sure what else to do.
