      • Turn the phone over and slide out the keyboard.

      • Wedge a plastic opening tool where the keyboard meets the back casing of the phone next to the headphone jack.

      • Carefully pry open the back casing along the keyboard's edge until at least two corners of the back casing are separated from the keyboard.

      • Do not fully separate the rear panel from the phone. A cable is connecting the two parts together.

      • Gently pry ZIF connector upwards using the flat end of a spudger tool.

      • The ZIF connector is glued down. Be gentle! Ripping it off or breaking it will make your phone inoperable.

      • You may need adhesive to keep your power cable in place when reassembling your phone.
