    • Use an opening tool to pry the top plastic cover off.

    • There is glue securing the top plastic cover. If you have a hard time removing the cover, use the iOpener to warm and loosen the adhesive.

    • Use the T6 Torx screwdriver to remove the two 8.00 mm screws from the top of the phone.

    • Use a spudger to release the clips connecting the front and back case.

    • Separate the front and back of the device.

    • Place a spudger or an opening tool under the connector's edge and pry straight up to disconnect it.

    • Make sure to pry under the edge of the connector itself, and not under the socket on the board. Otherwise, you risk permanently damaging the socket.

    • Work carefully: don't pry on or accidentally scrape any small, surface mounted components on the board.

    • To reconnect, align the connector carefully over its socket and press down with your fingertip—first on one side, then the other—until it clicks into place. Don't try to force the connector into place. If you're having trouble, reposition it and try again.

    • Don't press down on the middle of wider connectors until they're fully seated. If misaligned, the connector or the pins underneath can bend or break, causing permanent damage.

    • Slide a thin, ESD-safe pry tool or angled tweezers under the metal neck of the black and white coaxial connectors (as close to the head as possible) and lift straight up from the board.

    • When working with these connectors, it's key to always lift the head straight up. If pried on at an odd angle, you risk breaking the socket off of the board underneath.

    • Use tweezers to hold the connector in place over its socket and gently press down with your finger or a spudger—the connector should "snap" into place. If you're having trouble, reposition the head and try again.

    • Don't try to force the connector into place or you may permanently damage it.
