    • Use the iOpener or heating pad to heat around the edges of the phone to melt the adhesive.

    • It will take about ten minutes for the adhesive to be heated enough to remove the backing.

    • You will have to reheat the iOpener or heating pad a few times.

    • Slide the Jimmy along the under backing and lightly push the plastic up.

    • You will hear a snapping sound as you slide the Jimmy along the backing. This is from the closures releasing. There should be seven total closures on either side of the device, and three on the top and bottom.

    • Carefully remove the backing from the phone once the closures are released.

    • If you do not open all of the closures on the backing do not attempt to pry it off.

    • Be careful when opening the back of the phone. The fingerprint scanner is connected by a thin film that will tear if pulled too roughly.

    • Remove the two 1mm Phillips #000 screws on the small panel that was underneath the sticker.

    • Use the tweezers to remove the panel.

    Make the second sentence a second bullet.

    Use the internal markup tools to indicate small components, like screws.
