Remove the cover on the bottom of the device. Insert the plastic tool in the edge of the charging cover and pry it off.

Remove 4 screws total: 2 at the top of device and 2 at the bottom. These keep the two covers connected to the device.

The screws are very small, so be sure to keep them in a secure place.

To remove and separate the screen from the back of the device:

Use a flat edged tool to pry around the edge of your device. Place your flat edged tool between the edges around the screen. Gently lift up and your screen will separate from the top half.

The bottom half will still be connected by 3 wires to the top half, so do not disconnect (yet) or break the wires.

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
