Tutorial: Step by step

Step 1 Screws

First we must remove the two Pentalobe screws (TS1) from the bottom of the screen.

Step 2 We apply heat

We apply heat to the screen with a thermal mat, and with the help of a suction cup and a fine tool, we will take off all the edges of the screen.

Step 3 We disconnect the battery

We remove the four Triwing screws (Y0.6) that hold the shield that covers the battery connector, and with the help of a flat-tipped tool we will disconnect the battery, to work with greater safety.

Step 4 Display with components

We extract the four Triwing screws (Y0.6) that hold the upper shield, and with the help of a flat tool we will disconnect the connector from the screen and the one from the headset.

Step 5 Card reader

We remove the Standoff screw and the Phillips screw (PH # 00), extract the tray with the help of an extraction tool, and with a flat tool we will disconnect the connector and remove the card reader.

Step 6 Drums

We take off the battery with the help of a flat tool, which we can moisten in isopropyl alcohol to soften the adhesive that holds it.

Step 7 Screws

We remove all the Phillips and Standoff screws that we indicated in the photographs, unhook the shield that covers the microphone, and we will have two Phillips screws that are on the sides of the charging connector.

Step 8 Load Flex

Finally, we only have to take off the flex that we have to replace.
