Introduction

    • Locate the seam between the black and silver pieces of the phone.

    • Insert a plastic opening tool into the seam and firmly pry the black back piece away from the silver front piece.

    • To create the initial separation for the plastic opening tool, you may need to use either a spudger or metal spudger. If you use a metal spudger, be aware this can damage your phone if you aren't careful.

    • Work your way around the edge of phone, firmly prying the pieces apart.

    • Using the PH00 screw driver, remove the two 3mm screws.

    • These screws may be covered by small, round black stickers. Remove the stickers to continue.

    • Remove the metal clip that connects the battery ribbon to the motherboard by lifting up. Precision tweezers work best for this part.

    • Be sure to only grab the metal clip with the tweezers, not the connector underneath.

    • Use the flat end of the black spudger to gently lift up the black plastic piece.

    • Rest the plastic piece against the back of the phone.

    • The black plastic piece is connected to the phone by a circuit ribbon. Be careful not to pull too hard or you may break this ribbon.

    • Use the precision tweezers to grip the micro-circuit board. Lift straight up.

    • The micro-circuit board is connected to the silver adhesive strip. You'll have to gently peel this strip back to get the micro-circuit board to move far enough to get to the microphone.

    • Use the precision tweezers to grip the silicone around microphone and pull it from the plastic housing.

    • The silicone around the microphone comes off easily; grip the red and black wires gently with either your fingers or a precision tweezer and use your other hand to pull off the black silicone piece.

    • Desolder the contacts for the red and black wires to disconnect the microphone.

    • For more information on soldering, view the Soldering Wiki page.
