    • Lift the back cover and remove it from the phone.

    • To reinstall the back cover, align the cover with the phone and squeeze along the edges to snap the clips back into place.

Conclusion

Compare your new replacement part to the original part—you may need to transfer remaining components or remove adhesive backings from the new part before installing.

To reassemble your device, follow the above steps in reverse order.

Take your e-waste to an R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler.
