    • There are clips that need to be released on all four sides of the device.

    • When replacing the back cover insert the bottom side first ( usb and hdmi ports stick out about 2mm ) inserting them into the covers openings will allow for easier reassembly

    • Lift up the black plastic clip with a spudger.

    • Pull the connector out gently using tweezers.

    • Be careful to ensure that the black plastic clip has been lifted away from the connector ribbon before pulling on the connector. The clip should be loose and easy to wiggle. Removing the connector before it is unclipped can cause damage.

Not that difficult……… if you are having trouble, search youtube for basic solder / desolder videos.

Same principles apply to micro usb ports on many devices. It much easier to remove old port using hot air rather than a solder iron
