Before diving into this guide, it’s a good idea to brush up on your soldering skills. If you’re looking for a little help with that, check out some tips on soldering!
Step 1
The screws you’re looking for are tucked away behind the stand on your device. Just a little hidden treasure!
Our model was missing these screws entirely, so we didn’t have to worry about them.
– Unscrew those two Phillips #000 screws and set them aside. You’re doing great!

– Grab a plastic opening tool and work your magic—slide it between the edge of the back cover and the screen, gently prying those stubborn edges loose. Take your time, finesse is key!
