  • Your phone should now look like below. Remove the four screws you can see. Note that the two at the bottom are black and the two at the top are silver and these need to go back in the right place as they're slightly different lengths.

Flick the black latches up and then side each ribbon out. You can then lift the green circuit board away from the phone. You'll need to waggle it around until it slides over the small screen.
