Step 1 | Safety precautions

A fully charged lithium-ion battery can be hazardous, so let it discharge to at least 25%.

Completely power down the device by pressing the Power button.
Disconnect all cables connected to the phone.

Step 2 | Adhesive information

Avoid inserting the tool more than 3 mm under the rear cover to prevent damage.

Measure 3 mm from the tool tip and mark with a permanent marker or tape a coin in this position.
Use a pick as a guide to carefully separate the adhesive.

Step 3 | Apply a suction handle

Attach a suction handle to the bottom edge of the rear cover, as close to the edge as possible.

Grasp the suction handle firmly and pull upwards with consistent pressure.

Create a small opening by inserting the pointed end of an opening pick into the gap.

Do not insert the opening pick deeper than 3mm.

Slide the opening pick along the bottom edge to separate the adhesive.

Be careful not to damage the ribbon cable near the top right corner.
