Risk of damage if improper tools are used.

• Push the tool in; the tray should pop out.
• Remove the SIM tray from the phone.

Wear heat-resistant gloves and place the phone on a heat-resistant surface.

• Use a heat gun to apply slow, even heat to the back panel edges.

Do not focus heat on one spot for too long — risk of damage to the phone.

• While heating, use a Jimmy to check if adhesive is soft enough to separate the panel.
• Carefully detach the back panel using opening picks to hold it apart from the device.
• Attach a suction cup to the back panel once most edges are separated.

Press a suction cup firmly to the back panel.

• Pull up on the panel with the suction cup assistance.
• The back panel should now be completely detached from the device.

Be aware that remaining adhesive may reattach the panel; lift the back panel before it sets.

Remove seven PH000 screws: four longer and three shorter.

• Use a PH000 screwdriver to remove these screws.
• The screws are circled with red and orange for identification.

Be cautious not to damage the clips near the bottom edge of the plate.

• Pry the metal cover off using a plastic spudger starting from the bottom edge.
• The two clips are located right above the battery.

Remove the metal cover.

• Locate the battery connector wire attached to the motherboard.
• Use a plastic spudger to gently pry the clip, releasing the connection.
• The phone will shut down; no power will reach components during this process.

Locate the clear tab on the battery.

• Firmly grasp the clear tab and pull up and away from the phone to remove the battery.

• Be careful not to apply too much force, as this may damage the battery.

• Use a black plastic spudger to pry between the battery and the phone if necessary.
• Pull slowly on the battery until it is completely free from the phone.

Locate the camera near the top-left corner of the motherboard.

• Identify the cable connected to the camera, located just to its right.
• Gently unclip the cable from the motherboard using a plastic pry tool.
• Use precision tweezers to carefully lift and remove the camera from the phone.

Avoid touching the camera lens, as it may smudge easily and be difficult to clean.
