    • Use a T3 Torx screwdriver to remove the sixteen 5.0 mm‑long screws securing the back cover.

    • Use your fingernails, or angled tweezers, to remove any stuck screws.

    • The screws are secured tightly in the back cover, so you might not be able to remove all of them. If you can't remove a few screws, don't worry! Move to the next step and follow the guide normally.
