    • Use a Phillips PH00 screwdriver to remove the eight screws securing the shield to the logic board:

    • Five 2 mm screws

    • Three 1.2 mm screws

  2. Qi5jGYnb6hwPQahK

    • Apply a heated iOpener to the top of the logic board for two minutes.

    • Insert an opening pick between the shield and the shielding gasket on the bottom edge of the logic board.

    • Slide the pick along the bottom edge to separate the adhesive.

    • Grip the logic board shield at the top and lift it up.

    • Stop lifting if the shield is stuck or begins to bend—a bent shield will reduce thermal transfer from the logic board. Use an opening pick to separate any remaining adhesive.

Conclusion

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