Step 2
The battery is linked to the motherboard by the slim wire shown here. It’s a delicate connection, so be gentle while handling it!
– Gently lift the yellow tape to reveal the connector underneath. Nice and easy—no need to rush!
Step 3
– Carefully lift the connector from the motherboard by giving it a gentle tug upwards.
Step 4
Heads up! There’s some double-sided tape hanging out inside the case.
– Grab that spudger tool and gently ease the adhesive away from the double-sided tape. You got this!
– Now, it’s time to carefully detach the battery from the case. Take your time and be gentle!

Step 5
”Start with those plastic tools, they’re your best buddies! Metal ones can be a bit rough on the motherboard, and we definitely don’t want that!”
– Let’s get started by removing any tape that’s holding things together – grab a plastic opening tool or a trusty tweezer and gently pry it away.
– Next, carefully unplug the electrical connectors by releasing the clip that’s keeping them in place. Easy does it!
Step 6
Keep an eye on those teeny-tiny screws – they can vanish in a snap! Luckily, the magnetic strip at the top of the motherboard (that’s the speaker, btw) is a great place to stash them while you work. Just pop them on there and they’ll stick around until you need them again.
– Unscrew the trio of 2.0mm screws with your trusty Phillips #00 Screwdriver bit—you’re doing great!

Step 7
These wires are connected to components that you’ll want to gently lift out of their cozy spots at the bottom of the case with your trusty tweezers. Take your time – they can be a little finicky!
On each side of the case, you’ll spot a pair of twisted wires. One on the left, one on the right—just like a mini cable duo waiting to be tamed!
– Time to get those twisted pairs out of there! Use a plastic opening tool or some trusty tweezers to gently release them from the retaining tabs.

Step 8
Alright, you’re almost there! There’s just one more strip to remove. It’s hanging out on the side of the motherboard, and it’s the one that handles your volume and power inputs. Just a little more to go!
– To get your device up and running again, just work your way back through these steps in reverse – nice and easy! If you need help or get stuck, you can always schedule a repair with Salvation Repair.
