Step 1
– Turn off your device by holding down the power button until the “slide down to power off” message appears.
– Slide your finger down over the screen until “goodbye” appears and your device is shut down.
Step 2
– Gently pry off the back cover from the enclosure frame. There’s a nifty little slot at the bottom where you can slide in your fingernail or a handy tool.
– Slowly work your way around to detach the back cover from your device.
– Now, go ahead and lift the back cover off your device.
Step 4
– Remove the SIM and microSD cards from your device.
Step 5
– Remove the twelve screws that attach the chassis to the enclosure.12 x 4.5 mm T4 Torx screw

– Lift the chassis and remove it.
Step 6
– Gently unplug the headphone jack from the motherboard, taking care not to damage any surrounding components.
– Next, simply lift the jack out of its enclosure.
Step 7
– Carefully tuck the jack back into its cozy spot at the top of the enclosure.
– Next, gently connect the jack’s contact to the motherboard. You’ll know you’ve done it right when you hear that satisfying click!
Step 8
– Put the chassis back on and press it into the enclosure. Make sure it hooks on below the camera again.

– Once you’ve got the battery in the right spot, it should sit nice and flush with the enclosure. You’re doing great!
Step 11
– Put the back cover back on and press it gently onto the entire frame-so all the clips on the back cover clip securely into place on the enclosure. Make sure it fits snugly!
