Step 5
- Use the plastic opening tool and place it in the gap by the chrome bezels which are located on both sides of the device. Pull the plastic opening tool downward so that the plastic case will pry open. Start prying open the device and work clockwise.
- DON’T BREAK THE CLIPS (you can damage the frame this way). Pry it gently until you hear it click and start to see it open.
- ‘‘After the clips are disengaged, there are no cables holding the back panel in its place, you should be able to pull the midframe out easily..’
