They’re best buds held together with trusty graphite tape, so make sure to give them a group hug and remove them as a squad!
– Grab a Phillips screwdriver and get ready to tackle those 16 screws holding down the wireless charging assembly. You’ve got this!

To get those connectors back in action, gently line them up and give one side a little press until you hear that satisfying click. Once that’s done, show the other side some love and do the same! Just remember, no pressing down in the middle, okay? If things don’t line up just right, those little pins could bend and that would be a real bummer. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair.
