    • Starting at a bottom corner, use the spudger to separate the rear case from the front display.

    • Move the spudger towards the top on both sides. The plastic opening tool is easier to use for this step.

    • Be careful when detaching the top. Free each side, stopping short of the center of the cover. Apply backward pressure on both corners with a finger applying pressure on the center, and slide the whole back cover toward the bottom of the device. Note: forcing the cover can result in cracked plastic.

Quick question, is this the antenna for wifi or cellular network?

Michael Perdomo - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

This is actually just the cable that connects the motherboard to the antenna array. I believe the antenna array that it connects to is for WiFi though.
