8. Slide the opening pick along the gap to separate the front assembly from the back cover.

9. Separate the back cover from the front assembly and remove it.

11. Pull on the connectors themselves and not the cables to avoid damaging them.
12. Use the point of a spudger to disconnect the right vibration motor by pushing the connector straight out of its socket.

17. Use a pair of blunt nose tweezers to disconnect the interconnect cable by pulling the cable straight out of the connector.

19. Four 7.8 mm-long screws.
20. Two 11 mm-long screws.

21. Use a pair of blunt nose tweezers to remove the metal shield from the mainboard assembly.
