    • To remove the back panel, you will need to use a plastic opening tool and slowly separate the back panel from the device.

  2. NAH5mlWhF5eZpTfe

    • This next step will require you to solder a couple of wires off the motherboard. We recommend you get someone to help you if you are unfamiliar with soldering or use Ifixit's Soldering guide to help you.
