Steps:

1. Starting with the seam between the grille and body, pry open the speaker using the metal spudger.

2. Remove the seven 11.09 mm screws using a Phillips screwdriver.
3. Place the loose screws onto the magnetic project mat.
4. Some units may include one shorter 9.25 mm screw. Keep track of its position for reassembly.

5. Insert a spudger between the front speaker components and the housing.
6. Gently separate the components.
7. Lift the components slightly to expose the internal wiring.

8. Disconnect the two wires attached to the speaker.
9. Remove the speaker from the housing.
10. Disconnect the wire connecting the battery to the motherboard.

11. Remove the three 9.2 mm screws securing the motherboard using a Phillips #1 screwdriver.
12. Place any loose screws onto the magnetic mat.

13. Carefully take off the plastic box housing the button components using the metal spudger; this may take some pressure.
14. There may be some glue holding down the internals; it is easily peeled off using the angled tweezers.

15. Use angled tweezers to carefully grip the motherboard and lift it out of the device.

16. Follow iFixit’s soldering guide for proper technique. How To Solder and Desolder Connections
17. Make sure to pay attention to how much solder you are feeding in; too little, and you won't get a good connection; too much, and you could short the pins.
