Step 2

              Remove battery and motherboard
  • Detach the battery using a plastic spudger.
  • Unscrew the battery screws. Be aware not to damage the speaker cables.
  • Now remove the CMOS battery. Beware: it is glued to the enclosure. So remove with care.
  • Remove the SIM slot.
  • Now detach all connections with the mother board (using a plastic spudger). Unscrew the black (mostly flat) screws until the mother board is loose.
  • Put the Display Cables to the top side. In that way the cables aren’t damaged when removing the top cover.
  • Remove the loose plastic parts on the motherboard.
