Note that the headphone port protrudes into the back cover framing. Hence the rest of the back needs to be unclipped and taken off first.

I had problems getting it to separate at first. Pushing down with my thumb on the very edge of the case from the front while pushing up with my fingers from the back flexed it enough to get a very small jeweler’s screwdriver in the gap. From there I worked it until I could get the little bread wrapper plastics clips in the space. When it needed something stronger a 1 or 2 inch plastic putty knife from Walmart did the trick.

I replaced the battery and nothing no screen nothing. the batt was 3.7 V though.
The old one had 0V. I might have messed up the ribbon cables?
I put back the cover on it.
Held on the power button for 10 seconds, nothing. Held the power button and the volume up button for 10 seconds… also nothing..
I am leaving it charge for a while now. Even though if your battery is like full (3.7V measured) it should come on… but nothing..
Lets wait and see. Or this will be garbage…
