Step 1
Kick back and make sure to unplug and power down that device before diving in!
– Let’s kick things off by gently removing the SIM card along with its tray. Easy peasy!
– Next up, grab your trusty iOpener or heat gun to warm up that sticky adhesive holding the back cover in place. A little heat goes a long way!
– Now, while that adhesive is feeling nice and toasty, slide an opening pick into the seam between the back cover and the chassis. You’ve got this!
– Carefully slide that pick all the way around the perimeter. It’s like giving your device a little massage!
– Finally, it’s time to take off the back cover. Voila! You’re making great progress!
Step 2
– Time to tackle those thirteen 3.6 mm Phillips screws holding the midframe in place—let’s get them out of there!
– Grab your trusty opening pick and gently pry up to lift out the midframe. You’ve got this!
Step 3
– Grab your trusty opening tool and gently lift the press connectors on both ends of those two ribbon cables. You’ve got this!
– With that same opening tool, carefully pry up the press connectors on both ends of the two ribbon cables. You’re doing great!
Step 4
– Unplug that cheeky red antenna cable from the I/O board, and give it a little wave goodbye!
– Grab an opening pick and gently nudge the I/O board up and out. You’re almost there!
