Tutorial: Step by step

Step 1 Heat application

First, we apply heat to the terminal on the screen part to soften the adhesive and be able to separate them.

Step 2 We take off screen

Next we extract the two Pentalobe type screws (TS1) and with the help of suction cups and a fine opening tool we separate the screen from the terminal until it is detached from the chassis

Step 3 Shields

We remove the Triwing screws (Y0.6) from both shields that are shown in the first photo of this step and remove them.

Step 4 We disconnect flex from battery and screen

Now we disconnect the battery and the flexes that join the screen to the terminal chassis in order to separate them.

Step 5 Card reader

We extract the four Triwing screws (Y0.6), then we remove the shields, release, disconnect the flex, remove the sim tray and we can remove the reader from its housing.
