A fully charged lithium-ion battery can pose a hazard if damaged.

Let the battery level fall below 25% before proceeding.

• Power off your device.
• Disconnect any connected cables.

Do not expose the back cover to extreme heat — risk of warping.

• Heat an iOpener and apply it to the bottom edge of the back cover for two minutes.
• Alternatively, use a hair dryer, but be cautious not to apply excessive heat.

Apply a suction cup to the center of the back cover's bottom edge, as close to the edge as possible.

• Pull up on the suction handle with strong, steady force to create a gap between the cover and frame.
• This may require significant force; if having trouble, apply more heat and try again.

Insert an opening pick into the created gap.

Insert an opening pick into the bottom edge and slide it along to cut the adhesive.

• Leave the opening pick in place at the bottom right corner.
• This prevents resealing of the adhesive.

Avoid using excessive heat, which may cause warping of the back cover.

• Apply a heated iOpener to the right edge of the back cover for two minutes.
• Alternatively, use a hair dryer, but exercise caution and avoid extreme heat.

• Slide the opening pick along the bottom right corner, then continue along the entire right edge to cut through the adhesive.
• Leave the pick lodged in the top right corner for further use.

Excessive heat can warp the back cover.

• Apply a heated iOpener to the top edge of the back cover for two minutes.
• Alternatively, use a hair dryer but be cautious not to apply extreme heat.

Insert the opening pick into the top right corner.

• Slide it along the top edge to cut the adhesive.
• Leave the pick in place, but shift its position to the top left corner.

Excessive heat may damage the back cover.

• Apply a heated iOpener to the left edge of the back cover for two minutes.
• As an alternative, use a hair dryer on low temperature setting.

• Insert an opening pick at the top left corner of the device.
• Slice along the left edge, working your way downwards with the pick.

Remove the back cover.

Careful: If it's stuck, use a tool like an opening pick to gently pry along the edges and break the adhesive seal.

Power on your device, test all functions, and verify everything is working correctly.

Ensure the device is powered down completely before continuing work.

• If reinstalling the original back cover:
• Peel off old adhesive using tweezers or fingers.
• Use highly-concentrated isopropyl alcohol (over 90%) and a microfiber cloth to remove remaining adhesive residue.
• Apply new custom-cut adhesive according to the provided guide.

• If installing a new back cover:
• Remove liners from the new back cover.
• Press firmly around the perimeter to secure the back cover to the frame.

Remove the wireless charging assembly as one piece.

• Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove 16 screws:
• Nine 4 mm-long screws securing the motherboard cover
• Seven 4.5 mm-long screws securing the loudspeaker

Insert a pick under the bottom right edge of the motherboard cover.

• Twist the pick to release the clips securing the cover.
• Insert and twist an opening pick on the bottom left edge of the cover to release the remaining clips.

During reassembly, press down firmly around the perimeter of the motherboard cover to ensure clip engagement.

Move the motherboard cover to expose the battery and wireless charging press connectors.

Misaligned press connectors may cause pin bending and permanent damage.

• Use the flat end of a spudger to pry up the battery and wireless charging press connectors from the motherboard.
• To re-attach, align carefully and press down on one side until it clicks into place. Repeat on the other side. Do not press in the middle.

Insert the point of a spudger between the bottom left corner of the loudspeaker and the frame.

• Pry up to release the clips securing the left edge of the loudspeaker.
• Pry up the bottom right corner of the loudspeaker to release the remaining clips.
• During reassembly, press down firmly around the perimeter of the loudspeaker to engage the clips.

Disconnect and remove the wireless charging assembly.
