• Start by using a spudger or plastic opening tool to remove the bottom cover.
• When working with electronics, it's important to choose a tool that's ESD-safe to avoid accidental damage to the device. The regular black nylon spudger or a plastic opening tool should be used whenever possible.

Step 2




• Remove the four 7.5mm length Philips head screws under the rubber cover.
Step 3
• Use a nylon spudger to unsnap the bottom from the sides.
• Pry until the remaining three points are unsnapped.
• Once unsnapped, lift the cover.
Step 4
• Remove the connection for the front buttons to fully remove the cover.
Step 5
• Use a plastic opening tool or spudger to remove the adhesive covering the the WIFI connectors.
• Gently pull the wires at the connection point to disconnect them from the motherboard.
Step 6
• Remove the two pieces of glue holding the WIFI card in place.
Step 7
• Scrape the glued pad underneath the WIFI card to seperate the card from the board.
• Push apart the two clips holding the WIFI card in the connection.
• Pull the WIFI card out of the connection.
