OnePlus X Back Rear Panel Replacement

Press and hold the power button located on the right side of the phone.

• The smaller power button is the one you should press.
• Hold the button down until "Power Off" appears on the screen.
• Select "Power Off" to turn off the phone.

Insert the SIM card removal tool into the small hole above the volume buttons.

• If you don't have a SIM card removal tool, use a straightened paperclip instead.
• Push the tool into the hole and the SIM tray should pop out.
• Remove the SIM tray from the phone.

Use heat-resistant gloves and work on a heat-resistant surface to avoid fire or melting hazards.

• Apply slow, even heat from a heat gun to the edges of the back panel.
• Avoid focusing heat on one spot for too long, as this can damage the device.
• Use a Jimmy to check adhesive softness while heating the back panel.
• Carefully separate the back panel from the device using opening picks and a suction cup once most edges are loose.

Press the suction cup to the back panel to secure it.

• Pull up on the panel with the help of the suction cup to detach it completely.
• Safely remove the panel from the device using the suction cup.

Be cautious not to let lingering heat cause the adhesive to reattach the panel; lift it before the glue sets back.
