    • Use a pair of tweezers to accomplish this step and carefully remove the speaker as well as the headphone cable

    • Remove the two remaining torx screws that connect the logic board to the casing (red circles)

    • Use your tweezers to remove the remaining speaker cable on top

    • Then proceed to the ribbon cable for the display by rotating the phone by 90 degrees.

    • To remove the ribbon cable you must loosen the brown clip by gently pushing it up from both sides.

    • When the clip is loosened you may pull out the ribbon cable carefully.

    • Be sure not to damage the delicate cable with tools!
