Tutorial: Step by step

Step 1 Take off screen

We start by removing the screen. To do this, first remove the two lower screws Pentalobe 0.8 (TS1). Then we will heat the screen to soften the adhesive which we will remove by sliding a flat tool around the contour of it.

Step 2 Disconnect screen

Remove the four Phillips screws (PH # 000) and the three triwing screws (Y0.6) that hold the shields and then disconnect the flex from the screen.

Step 3 Haptic vibrator

Remove the screws that hold the haptic vibrator. We will find four Phillips screws (PH # 000) and a triwing screw (Y0.6). After removing the shield, we found a Standoff screw just below where the triwing was.

When there are no more screws left, we can disengage the vibrator.
