To start, we apply heat to the back cover to soften the adhesive that holds it, and with the help of a plastic spike we will take off all the edges of the case.
Step 2 Flex of the fingerprint reader
We disconnect the interconnection flex between the fingerprint reader and the motherboard with the help of an opening tool and tweezers.

Remove the twelve Phillips screws (PH # 00) that hold the intermediate housing and unhook it.
We will disconnect the battery to work with greater security.

We remove the eight Phillips screws (PH # 00) that hold the lower case and the speaker, and with the help of a flat tool we will unhook the lower case.
Step 5 Speaker
We remove the speaker.
