    • Remove sim tray first

    ce n'est pas collé mais vaut mieux chauffer le plastique (sèche cheveux) pour retirer le couvercle surtout les coins...

    • Pop off the plastic back

    • Disconnect the lock button flex

    The back cover was a little tricky, I found the top left was the part of the case that I got to open first, then you can run a plastic tool around all the sides.

    • Put flex cable out of the way

    • Credit-card size plastic tool

    • Wedge between the side of the battery down to the corner and apply isopropyl alcohol

    • Tilt camera end up to avoid leaking into battery

    • Pry up the battery being careful to not damage it

    Wow, that was a mission! I didn't have any isopropyl alcohol which i'm assuming makes it much harder. Make sure you have that before starting I guess. I used a hairdryer to heat the front of the screen, but even then it was a long job. It is properly glued in there!! Just take your time. I had a flexible piece of plastic which I managed to eventually get under the battery and just slowly worked round underneath to free it up, whilst pulling on top of the battery with a suction cup. Good luck!!!

The volume of my phone is down when receiving a call

Thanks for this. Phone successfully fixed! Just an additional note for people, I noticed my replacement part was missing a lot of the grey gaskets. There are a few of these under both boards, a few small square ones, and a very thin windy one under the bottom board. Not sure if required but I transferred these across to my new one using some tweezers to very carefully peel them off. Make sure you get the "glue" bit underneath to come up at the same time if you can, otherwise you may need extra glue to reattach them. Be careful transferring the volume buttons too, they need to be carefully taken off in the same way and reattached to the new one.
