What you need

1. Step 1 Prepare your phone for disassembly
  Let your phone's battery drain below 25% before starting this repair—a charged lithium‑ion battery may catch fire if damaged.
  
  Unplug any cables from your phone.
  
  Hold the power and either volume button and slide to power off your phone.

3. Step 2 Mark your opening picks
  If inserted too far, an opening pick can damage your device. Follow this step to mark your pick and prevent damage.
  
  Measure 3 mm from the tip and mark the opening pick with a permanent marker.
  
  You can also mark the other corners of the pick with different measurements.
  
  Alternatively, tape a coin to a pick 3 mm from the tip.
