Open the cover at the top. The cover is hiding the screws securing the back cover.

ℹ️️ Do not use a lever or any force for separation that could damage the cover.

Using the Key tool (aka Needle) or Paperclip and open the SIM and Memory card (Micro SD) trays and take them out.

ℹ️️ Remember the location for the SIM and Memory card (Micro SD) trays so that nothing is confused when reassembling.

 ⚠️ Pay attention! The tool must be inserted into a special hole on the edge of the phone's housing. Do not press too hard, it may break the tray ejection mechanism.

Using a screwdriver (Torx T5), unscrew 2 screws at the end of the phone securing the back cover.

Using a spudger or a plastic pick, carefully, around the edge, detach the back cover clips, and remove it.

Do not insert the tool deeply or bend it, otherwise, the housing may be tampered with or damaged.

⚠️ Be careful when opening the cover from the volume and power buttons side. Thin cable and fragile buttons are very easy to damage.

⚠️ Look in advance in the picture for the location of the cables for inter-board, touchscreen, display, buttons (if any) under the cover, so as not to damage them accidentally.

Using a screwdriver (Phillips 1.5 mm PH000), unscrew the 2 screws securing the battery connector.

To get to the battery connector, it needs to disconnect the coaxial cable connector and lean it aside.

⚠️ Try to control and perform all actions carefully so as not to accidentally touch or short circuit anything on the printed circuit board.

Disconnect the battery connector as soon as possible.

ℹ️️ The HTC One M9 Plus model has a battery BOPGE100 with 2840 mAh capacity (aka rechargeable battery).

⚠️ It is highly recommended to disconnect the connector to avoid possible short circuits during disassembly.

Also, try not to use a metal tool to disconnect the rechargeable battery connector or do it carefully.

Carefully, preferably from the edge, disconnect the connectors on the PCB.

⚠️ Do not pull on the cable or pry it with a sharp tool, the connectors are pretty weak and break easily, or the cable falls out of the end (lug).

⚠️ Be careful when removing the cables from the connectors, the cables are pretty thin, and it is easy enough to break them or damage the contact tracks inside.

Using a screwdriver (Phillips 1.5 mm PH000), unscrew the 3 short screws.

⚠️ Try to control and perform all actions carefully so as not to accidentally touch or short circuit anything on the printed circuit board.

ℹ️️ Be sure to note the location of the screws before disassembling. When assembling the device, screwing the screw in the wrong place may damage the device or its part. To avoid damage, the removed screws and individual pieces (as gaskets or brackets) must be laid out in the appropriate order, or the screws and their holes in the phone must be marked with colored markers.

Using a screwdriver (Torx T5), unscrew one screw covered by flat cables.

⚠️ Try to control and perform all actions carefully so as not to accidentally touch or short circuit anything on the printed circuit board.
