    • Adhesive secures the perimeter of the rear cover to the frame.

    • When separating the adhesive, don't insert your tool more than 3 mm under the rear cover to avoid damaging the internal components.

    • Measure 3 mm from the tip and mark your opening pick with a permanent marker. Alternatively, you can tape a coin to a pick 3 mm from the tip.

    • Don't try to fully remove the rear cover yet, as a ribbon cable on the right edge connects it to the phone.

    • Use the suction handle to lift the left edge of the rear cover and swing it over the right edge, like opening the cover of a book.

    • If you're having trouble, check the perimeter for any remaining adhesive and use your opening pick to separate it.

    • Prop up the rear cover with the suction handle so you can access the ribbon cable near the top right corner.
