| [title] Free three sides | |
| [* black] Once you've gotten a tool inserted along one short side, cut it free with patience, heat, and alcohol. Then, repeat the previous step to get into the other short side. | |
| [* black] Drip alcohol along the seam between glass and body to help soften adhesive. Re-heat the hot compress and let it sit over the seam, too, to help. | |
| [* black] Use extra gift cards, notecards, square bits of plastic, etc. as "bookmarks" to keep the adhesive from sticking to itself in areas you've cut loose. | |
| + | [* black] After both short sides are free, you can break the adhesive free from both haptic motors (circled in purple in step 2). |
| + | [* black] They're much deeper inside than the edge adhesive, so I cut a plastic card in half to gain some room, then reached in with 3-4cm of aluminum can tool to slice through that adhesive. It's gummy clear adhesive, not the black foam like around the edges. |
