Introduction

A micro USB port is a miniaturized version of the Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface developed for connecting compact and mobile devices such as smartphones, MP3 players, GPS devices, photo printers, and digital cameras. Micro USB connectors exist or have existed in three forms: micro A, micro B, and micro C. When you get to Step 4 of the guide, it is okay to remove the ribbon cable, but it will make your life easier if you try not to remove the ribbon cable that is attached to the plastic piece.

What you need

Step 1

              Display Assembly

Place an iFixit opening tool in the crease where the display assembly and back of the device meet.
Slide the tool firmly through the crease on one side of the device, twisting as you go to create separation.
When you reach the corner, carefully pry the two halves of the device apart.
There are small clips along the edges that need to stay intact in order to properly reassemble the device. Be very gentle when prying so as not to break the clips.
Repeat for the remaining three sides and corners.
