This guide involves some tricky steps, like soldering and removing both the battery and motherboard. It’s definitely on the more challenging side, but don’t worry – you’ve got this! Just take it step by step, and remember, if you need help, you can always schedule a repair.
Step 1
Before you dive in, make sure your device is powered off. You don’t want to risk a surprise zap during the replacement process!
– First, flip that device over and get ready to reveal some hidden screws. Use your trusty metal spudger to remove the small rubber circles from all four corners – it’s like a little treasure hunt!
– Next, use that metal spudger again to pry open the long, thin rubber rectangle on the back of the device. This will expose even more screws, and you’ll be one step closer to fixing your device. If you’re feeling stuck, don’t worry – just take your time and work carefully.

– Keep that same screwdriver handy and tackle the three sneaky screws hiding behind the rubber rectangle. Heads up: these ones stay put—they won’t fall out.
– Now, with your plastic opening tool, gently pop off the back panel. Take it slow and easy—no need to rush the grand reveal!
