      • Unplug any cables from your phone.

      • Hold the side key and the volume down button, then select "Power off" to turn off your phone.

    1. Rear Cameras Removal, Disconnect the wireless charging coil: step 16, image 1 of 2 Rear Cameras Removal, Disconnect the wireless charging coil: step 16, image 2 of 2
      • Use a spudger to pry up and disconnect the wireless charging coil press connector from the motherboard.

      • There's an arrow printed on the board near each press connector that indicates the recommended prying location. Only pry in this location for each press connector to avoid dislodging surface-mounted components.

      • To reconnect press connectors, align the connector carefully over its socket and press down with your fingertip—first on one side, then the other—until it clicks into place. Don't try to force the connector into place. If you're having trouble, reposition it and try again.
