Step 1
– Alright, let’s get this party started! First things first, make sure your device is completely powered down. We don’t want any surprises during this adventure.
– Now, on the back of your phone, you’ll find a little slot hanging out on the top left corner. It’s like a secret entrance to the back plate.
– Grab your plastic opening tool (or your trusty fingernail if you’re feeling brave) and give that back plate a little tug. It’s like you’re saying ‘Hey, back plate, it’s time to move!’
– With that corner loose, slide your finger around the device, gently working your way between the back plate and the phone. This is how we’ll release those connectors and get things moving.
Step 3
If you’re having trouble getting started, don’t worry – you can use a metal spudger instead of a plastic opening tool to begin prying open the seam. Just keep in mind that this might cause some exterior cosmetic damage. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair
– First things first, let’s tackle those screws! Remove the 14 screws measuring 3.45 mm with a Phillips #000 screwdriver from the assembly. You’ve got this!
– Now it’s time to get a little hands-on. Carefully slide a plastic opening tool into the seam just above the volume buttons of your phone. Take your time, and let it do the work!
