Those are excellent instructions but I need to know where at on the motherboard is the internal memory storage cuz my phone is so screwed up that it won't charge or turn on or anything lol,so I got a different phone n got my SD card out of the ZTE n put in my new phone and there are some pics that I really need,but I was wondering if there was any way possible that I could put the SD card back in the ZTE motherboard and some how move the pics onto my SD card so I can have them on my new phone.This is killing my brain on trying to think of ways to succeed n can't please get back to me,,,thanks.
