Step 2 Front housing with power button

To open the case, we will help you with the opening tools. We will start at one of the corners and follow the contour, so we will unhook the notches that hold it.

Step 3 Remove back casing

After removing the front cover, we find the shielding of the base plate. Remove the four Phillips screws (PH # 00) and remove the shield to which the motherboard and all the components are attached.

Be careful not to break the push button flex that is fitted in the housing. The microphone should disengage only.
