Step 3. Open the back cover

We preheated the back cover to 50 degrees Celsius or 120 degrees Fahrenheit to make it easier to detach.

We use a thin plastic film, carefully insert it into the gap between the back cover and the middle cover and run it around the edge to detach the back cover.

Very carefully we run the tool in the area of the side button cable with the fingerprint sensor, because from it goes the cable to the circuit board, and it may be damaged. That's why we minimize the film in this place.

Step 4. Unscrew one screw

Using a screwdriver Phillips 1.5 mm (PH #000), unscrew the one small screw.

It is important not to screw a long screw in this place, because it through the screw we call this screw – barrel, we will screw directly into the board, pierce the circuit board, which will lead to serious damage.

And, probably, the phone will stop working.
