    • Remove the stylus in order to access the screw.

    • Remove the 27mm top-left screw using a T6 Torx screwdriver.

    Use a T5 Torx screwdriver instead of a T6. T6 is too big.

These are very nice instructions. They are clear and detailed for anyone to follow. Thanks for putting together the steps and sharing it.

I have not tried all steps completely yet. But will do so. I will left with probably a question what to do with touch screen. My phone has

never fallen down nor damaged. It worked perfectly well and one fine day, touch screen stopped working. In any case, I will try.
