OnePlus X Battery Replacement

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

• Hold down the power button for a few seconds until the "Power Off" option appears.
• Select "Power Off" to turn off the phone completely.

Insert a SIM card removal tool into the small hole on the top right corner of the phone, just above the volume buttons.

• If you don't have one, use a straightened out paperclip or similar object instead.
• Push the tool into the hole and the tray should pop out.

Be careful not to push too hard, which may damage the phone's internal components.

Remove the SIM tray from the phone.

Never apply prolonged heat to one spot — risk of damage.

• Put on heat-resistant gloves.
• Place phone on a non-flammable surface.
• Use a heat gun to apply slow, even heat to the back panel edges.
• Test adhesive with a Jimmy while heating.
• Detatch back panel using opening picks and a suction cup.

Press the suction cup firmly onto the back panel.

• Pull up on the panel with the suction cup until it's completely detached.
• When lifting the panel, be aware that lingering heat may reattach it; remove it promptly to avoid this.

Be cautious of the clips near the bottom right above the battery when prying the plate off.

Disabling power prevents damage from accidental electrical discharges.
