GPS dropped and could damaged components. Replacement of the motherboard is needed in order for the device to properly function. When prying do not use metal tools as this can cause static damage. The device can be identified by its model number which is located under the small panel on the bottom of the device.

    • Pry along the edges with the plastic opening tool to separate the back and front panel.

    • Try not to tear the screen open as you may break the part. Go about this gently but with enough force to remove the screen.

    My 1605M has the touch screen attached by a 4 conductor ribbon cable, making the job much more complicated than depicted in this guide.

    • Only do this step of placing the front panel on if you are completed. If there are still components needed replacing postpone this step until the end.
