Step 1
When you’ve got it about halfway off, go ahead and use your thumb to gently nudge the rest of that back cover away. You’ve got this!
– Grab that blue plastic opening tool and use the lock screen switch near the volume button as your secret entrance to gently lift off the back cover.
– Slide the opening tool in and listen for that satisfying pop as the back cover starts to come loose from the device.
– Now, glide the opening tool down the length of your device like a pro!
Step 2
Be gentle when removing the frame; forcing it off could snap the little teeth holding it to the screen. You’ve got this!
The gray frame is still hanging out with the device, connected by a couple of wires running from the motherboard to the speaker. No worries, it’s all part of the plan!
– Grab your Phillips #000 screwdriver and start unscrewing those 18 tiny 4mm screws. They won’t bite!
– Now, take your trusty blue plastic opening tool and gently slide it between the screen and the gray frame. Keep going until you hit some resistance – that’s when the magic happens.
– With your opening tool, carefully push the teeth towards the center of the device, then gently lift the frame off. It’ll come off smoothly, like peeling off a sticker!

Step 3
The speaker nestled in the stylish grey frame is hooked up to the motherboard with a nifty little white plastic connector.
– Unplug the speaker by gently separating the two parts of the connector—it’s like freeing old friends who need some space.
Step 4
– Time to get this battery out – use a plastic opening tool to gently push the white battery connector out of its socket on the motherboard. Easy does it!
– Lift that battery away from the device. You’re making great progress!
