How to Replace the Earpiece on OnePlus 2 – DIY Guide

– Alright, let’s get your device powered down! Hold down that power button until you see the ‘Power off’ option pop up, then give it a tap to confirm. Once the screen goes dark, you’re all set – nice work!

– Now, let’s make sure your OnePlus 2 is completely shut down. Use your finger to select the ‘Power off’ option, and wait patiently until the screen goes blank. Easy peasy!

– Slide a slender, flat spudger into the corner gap of your smartphone. You’ll find a few clips lurking beneath the back cover that need to be freed! Just glide the spudger around the smartphone’s perimeter once to disconnect them all. If you’re feeling handy, you can also use your fingernails to pry off the back cover.

– Now, go ahead and remove that back cover!

– You can use the SIM Tool or a paperclip to remove the SIM card tray. Press the SIM Tool into the small hole in the SIM card tray to remove it.

– Time to get those screws out! Start by removing all 18 Phillips screws that are keeping the plastic cover snug as a bug.

– Keep your eyes peeled! There are 6 sneaky Phillips screws hiding under a rubber cover. Grab a sharp object and gently lift that cover off.

To start, grapple up your trusty spudger (we like laboratory spatulas too) and insert the pointed tip underneath the earpiece – it’s a bit of a stubborn buddy, but persistance (and a teeny bit of spudgerly persuasion) will set it free! One more thing: some earpieces are pretty sticky, so if it’s not budging, give it a micro-pop with a heat gun to soften things up.”}
