Step 7
- Using the nylon spudger, locate the red tips under the shutter button.
- When working with electronics, it’s important to choose a tool that’s ESD-safe to avoid accidental damage to the device. The metal spudger is great when you need serious prying power, but the regular black nylon spudger or a plastic opening tool should be used whenever possible.
- Gently push on the shutter button tabs upwards, until the tab is dislodged. Repeat same steps for other two tabs.
