Duration: 15 min.

Steps: 9 Steps

In this guide, we show you how to remove your Lumia 950XL’s chassis on your own. You need to remove the chassis if it’s damaged or destroyed.

Step 1

– Give your boy a break by holding down the power button until the “slide down to power off” message shows up.

– Slide your finger down over the screen until “goodbye” appears and your device is chilling out.

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 3

– Use your finger to lift the battery out of the device. There’s an indentation in the middle of the chassis where you can easily lift the battery.

– Remove the battery.

Step 4

– Go ahead and take out the SIM and microSD cards from your device. You’ve got this!

Step 5

– First things first, let’s tackle those twelve screws holding the chassis to the enclosure. Grab your trusty 4.5 mm T4 Torx screwdriver and get to work!

– Next up, the chassis is snugly hooked onto the enclosure right below the rear camera. Use your tweezers or spudger to gently unhook it—easy does it!

– Now, lift that chassis up and away. You’ve got this!

Step 6

– Let’s get this device fixed and back in action! Put the chassis back on and snug it down into its cozy enclosure – don’t forget to hook the camera notch below.

– Next, it’s time to sink the screws in! Use the 12 x 4.5 mm T4 Torx screwdrivers by your toolbox (if you need help, you can always schedule a repair).

Step 7

– Pop that SIM card back in place! And hey, if you’ve got a microSD card hanging around, don’t leave it out in the cold—slot it in too!

Step 8

– Alright, battery lover! Time to put your battery back in the device. Find those three parallel slots on the bottom – they’re ready for their close-up! The contacts are in those slots, so make sure they line up with the three shiny gold contacts in your device. Easy peasy!

– Ensuring the battery is snug and secure, it should be level with the enclosure. If you’re not sure, take a look at our tutorial on scheduling a repair and we’ll get you all fixed up!

Step 9

– Put the back cover back on.

– Use your finger to press it onto the entire frame so all the clips on the back cover click into place on the enclosure.
