    • Remove the camera panel by hand (black cover above the battery slot).

    • Be careful, there is a cable attached underneath the camera panel.

    • Gently pull the camera panel away from the phone to detach the cable.

    • During reassembly, reattach the cable by holding the silver-plated ending slightly above its slot and using the spudger to gently press it into its fitting. Then, insert the camera panel so it is flush with the back panel again.

    • Gently pry the motherboard (the green panel) off with the spudger.

    • Be careful; the motherboard has a cable attached to the back and should not come all the way off of the phone.

    • Flip the motherboard over, as if you are turning a page in a book, so that it rests on the back side of the screen.

    • Push the keyboard away from the frame of the phone, working the spudger between the keyboard and the frame.

    • There is an adhesive strip holding the keyboard to the frame; make sure that the spudger is between the adhesive strip and the frame, rather than the adhesive strip and the keyboard.

    • Slide the spudger around the perimeter of the keyboard until it is completely free from the frame.
