Step 3

The next step will require the opening tool.
Please carefully separate the back from the front completely. You will need to disconnect the small ribbon cable on the inside before completely removing the back. Otherwise you may end up hurting the ribbons on the inside.
While separating the back, carefully pry all the way around the back. You will hear popping noises while going around and this is a good sign.
Upon removing the back panel you will need to slowly and carefully remove the ribbons connecting the hardware to access the needed parts to be repaired.
