Step 1 Remove back cover

We start by heating the back cover to soften the adhesive. We introduce a flat tool between it and the frame and slide it around the contour to take it off. Before separating, we will disconnect the fingerprint reader from the motherboard.

We remove the nine Phillips screws (PH # 00) that hold the internal casing and undo it.
