Step 1
These screens are stuck on with some seriously stubborn glue. Take your time here—slow and steady wins the repair race!

Step 2
– Unscrew the hidden screws from both covered spots—like uncovering a secret passage, but for tech!
Step 3

Go slow and steady as you work your way around the device to gently pry off the backing.
– Work your way around the edge, gently popping the screen away from the back with your spudger.
– You’ll hear a satisfying pop every time a clip lets go—just keep going until they’re all free.
Tools Used
Step 4
– Carefully peel away the plastic covering the battery cable.
Step 5
– Grab the plastic opening tool or just use your fingers—whichever feels right—and gently tug both sides of the plug to pop it loose.
Step 6
– Let’s get started by removing the battery. Grab the tab and gently pull upwards – it’s held in place with some adhesive, so be prepared for a bit of resistance.
– Keep pulling upwards from the tab, and with a little effort, the battery should lift right out. Don’t worry if it takes a sec, it’s supposed to be a bit stubborn.
Step 7
– Grab that trusty spudger and gently nudge the vibration motor up. You’ve got this!
