Introduction

What you need

Step 1

              Back Cover
  • Locate the seam between the black and silver pieces of the phone.
  • Insert a plastic opening tool into the seam and firmly pry the black back piece away from the silver front piece.
  • To create the initial separation for the plastic opening tool, you may need to use either a spudger or metal spudger. If you use a metal spudger, be aware this can damage your phone if you aren’t careful.

              Battery Connection
  • Using the PH00 screw driver, remove the two 3mm screws.
  • These screws may be covered by small, round black stickers. Remove the stickers to continue.
  • Remove the metal clip that connects the battery ribbon to the motherboard by lifting up. Precision tweezers work best for this part.
  • Be sure to only grab the metal clip with the tweezers, not the connector underneath.
