Tutorial: Step by step

Step 1 Remove back cover

We introduce an opening tool between the frame and the lid to release it from the chassis.

Step 2 Remove intermediate housing

We remove the nineteen T4 torx screws that hold the intermediate casing. These screws are quite soft and are stuck together. It is important that the screwdriver fits perfectly so as not to eat your head.

We will also disconnect the flex from flash and sensors.

Step 3 Disconnect battery

In this step we disconnect the battery and remove the stickers.

Step 4 Disconnect components

Now, we disconnect the vibrator, the flex from the home button, the screen button and the audio connector contacts.

Step 5 Removing the motherboard

Remove the two screws that hold the plate to the chassis and disengage it.

Step 6 Side keys

To finish, we push the keys from the inside to the outside to disengage them.
