Remove the screws along both sides of the motherboard using a T3 Torx screwdriver. On some phones this may require a #1 Phillips Screw Driver.
These are T3 screws. I have taken apart about 15 of them in the past week, T4 is too big to fit. Had to use a T3 bit to remove them.
These screws are T4 on my phone, not T3. I stripped 2 screws trying to remove them with T3. Maybe it could be either.
On my phone all screws from Step 15 - 29 were actually #0 Phillip head.
