Introduction
Has some of the buttons on the S9700 become worn down from use? Do you have a large scratch on your screen? Both of these scenarios might require that you remove the back panel. The back panel gives you access most of the internal components and buttons of the S9700. It will take some time and patience, but once it is removed, every replacement you need to make will be possible!
