• Use a plastic opening tool to start to pry the headphone jack out of its recess in the rear case.
• Then use the opening tool to gently peel the microphone up from the adhesive securing it to the top of the rear case.
• Remove the headphone jack assembly from the rear case, being careful not to tear the microphone flex cable.
