8. Now comes the hard Part!!
Taking off the Front Cover…
Use the small Flat screwdriver and push in between the USB & Handsfree jack. Try to split the
cover and the plastic side open. Like opening a durian. :-D

9. Work the same technique around the sides, very slowly but firmly… pop it out.. (counter
clockwise worked better for me)

Now you can split the Touch Screen (TS) from Main Circuit Board. This is the time to disconnect
the Speaker Cable, just use a sharp tweezers and pull the connector. Warning! Don’t pull the wire!
