– Peel away the tape that’s holding down the plate, it’s time for it to be free!
– With either precision tweezers or your nimble fingers, gently lift off the plate.
– Oh, and don’t forget – there’s a sneaky screw hiding under the blue ‘s’ sticker!

Step 6
– Time to get this bracket off! Use an opening pick to find a weak spot and gently pry the bracket away from the tablet.
– Now that you’ve got the pick in, work your way around the tablet to completely release the bracket from its cozy spot.
Step 7
Be careful with that soldering iron! It’s super hot and can be tricky to handle. Stay safe while you get your repair on!
If the wire refuses to let go of the tin, just turn up the heat on your soldering iron a bit. It should loosen right up!
– Carefully detach the blue and red wires from the motherboard, like a pro!
– Once those wires are free, grab a metal spudger tool and gently lift the vibrator out. You’re doing great!
