Here are some helpful tips to assist you in completing a safe repair on your device. If you are unsure of something or have any questions, please feel free to contact us either by phone (0508 IGADGET) or by email

• Drain the battery below 25% before you start on this repair
• Always power down your device prior to working on it, and take out the SIM card tray first
• Always track your screws to avoid putting back in the wrong place and damaging your device. You can draw a picture of your phone and tape the screws to the right places or use a screw mat. The top and bottom covers use around 15 screws, and the two screws holding the board itself are a different size.
• The plastic back cover is glued on. Warm the edges with the iOpener, lift the cover with the suction cup and slide an opening pick around the edge. Do not overheat the phone: the screen, battery and plastic back cover are all damaged by heat, so work in short bursts.
• Only push an opening pick 4 to 5mm past the edge. Any deeper and you can cut the antenna cable, the power button cable or the rear cameras.
• Make sure you always unplug the battery before attempting any component removal
• The charging port board sits under the lower plastic cover (with the loudspeaker) at the bottom of the phone. Remove its screws and lift it off to reach the board.
• The board connects to the main board with a long flex cable, and the fingerprint sensor cable also plugs into the board. Disconnect them with a spudger, and press every connector back down until it clicks when refitting.
• Reconnect both aerial (coaxial antenna) cables, holding them by the metal head, not the wire, or the phone may lose signal after the repair.
• Test charging and the microphone before you seal the phone.
• Opening the phone breaks the factory seal. Fit new adhesive (a strip of 4mm Tesa tape where the old adhesive was) when you close it up or the phone will lose its water resistance rating.
