      • Remove the vibration motor

      • Remove the rear-facing camera

      • Remove the earpiece speaker

      • If you are going to be using a screen assembly with a pre-installed frame, you may stop here and follow the previous steps in reverse with your new screen assembly. Otherwise, you will now transfer the LCD bezel as well as the speaker grille.
