What you need

Tools

      • Remove the two triangular pads at the top of the two speakers.

      • These pads have adhesive to keep them situated, so you may want to use a fine-tipped object, such as a screwdriver or a pen, to remove them. It is easiest to place the fine-tipped object in the small indent in the corner of these pads.

      • Remove the two rubber cylinders from their shafts. These cover more screws.

      • This requires a little more effort, so you may need to "dig" them out.

      • Now remove the four screws.

      • The screws are small, so put them somewhere that you can easily keep track of them.

      • Starting on the side with red square, pry the faceplate upwards with the flat end of a spudger.

      • Continue to slide the flat edge along the seam of the faceplate.

      • You should hear popping or snapping noises as the faceplate is being removed.

      • The faceplate is attached by wires, so do not pull the faceplate very far away from the phone.

      • Lift the dislodged faceplate off the motherboard while being mindful of the wires still attached to it.

      • The faceplate is still attached through speakers that travel from the ear-piece to the motherboard.

      • Carefully wedge the flat or pointed end of the spudger beneath the ear-piece and the faceplate.

      • This may require a bit of force, as the ear-piece is stuck to the faceplate with adhesive.

      • Use Spudger to pry against the side side of the phone and the logic board to release it.

      • The logic board is connected to a thin silver piece of metal highlighted with a blue square in the photo. Pry against this piece and the phone to release the board.

      • The logic board is connected to the phone and speaker with the set of connections highlighted with a red circle. Do not yank on the board once its released

      • Remove 4 wires from logic board. Replace board by soldering back the 4 wires and you're done!
