Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓There are two boards for the device, a green top level and a blue lower level. This guide will show the steps to replace the bottom motherboard.
Metal spudgers and similar pry tools can puncture an unprotected battery, potentially causing a fire. 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.
