    • Use a T6 Torx screwdriver to remove the two 12.1 mm screws (one on each side) securing the head strap to the headset.

    • Use a T5 Torx screwdriver to remove the following screws securing the head strap to the headset:

    • Four 3.9 mm screws (two on each side)

    • Two 4.1 mm screws (one on each side)

    You do not need to remove the four 3.9mm screws or the 4.1mm screw. They do not secure the strap to the headset. You only need to remove the two 12.1mm screws.

    • Insert the flat end of a spudger under a corner of the lens assembly press connector.

    • Don't insert your spudger anywhere else, as you risk dislodging nearby surface-mounted components.

    • Twist the spudger to lift the press connector up and disconnect it.

    • Repeat the same process to disconnect the other lens assembly press connector.

    • To re-attach press connectors like this one, carefully align and press down on one side until it clicks into place, then repeat on the other side. Don't press down in the middle. If the connector is misaligned, the pins can bend and cause permanent damage.

Conclusion

Compare your new replacement part to the original part—you may need to transfer remaining components or remove adhesive backings from the new part before installing.

To reassemble your device, follow the above steps in reverse order.

Take your e-waste to an R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler.
