Tutorial: Step by step

Step 1 Back case

We apply heat to the back casing, and with the help of a fine tool we will just raise the casing to introduce one or more plastic tines, and thus we will not scratch the casing.

Step 2 Fingerprint Flex

Disconnect the flex interconnect fingerprint reader.

Step 3 Interconnection Flex

We disconnect the interconnection flex from the fingerprint reader that we are going to replace.

Step 4 Fingerprint reader

To finish, with the help of a plastic tool we will remove the fingerprint reader that we are going to replace.

To soften the adhesive that holds the fingerprint reader to the back case, we can apply a little hot air.
