Einleitung

This guide explains all the steps for taking apart the device, taking out the old auxiliary port from the device and soldering on a new one. This guide requires basic soldering knowledge and if done improperly may cause injury to the user. People with physical hand or wrist disabilities be cautioned that you may need to consider asking someone else to replace the part for you so you do not injure yourself.

    • Using a plastic opening tool and your hand, separate the front and back covers from each other.

    • Starting from the bottom, use the plastic opening tool to create the initial separation and continue along the seam to the top of the device.

    • This step requires the most time and patience, so be careful.

    • The power switch will most likely come loose during this step and you will hear something rattling inside the device.
