| [title] Removing the shield of the SIM reader | |
| - | [* black] Add kapton/aluminum foil around the part to prevent heating other components, and using an iron or a heatgun, start undoing the sim-reader shield's attachment points from logic board. Gently pry up with tweezers and hold the shield up after it pops out of each attachment point. |
| + | [* black] Add kapton/aluminum foil around the part to prevent heating other components, and using an iron or a heatgun, start undoing the sim-reader shield's attachment points from logic board. Gently pry up with [product|IF145-020|tweezers] and hold the shield up after it pops out of each attachment point. |
| [* black] Release after solder has solidified, to avoid accidental reattachment. Go around the shield, being careful to not pry too hard until solder has melted, otherwise you will pull pads. | |
| [* icon_caution] It can be annoying to glue the shield back if too many pads are missing, but none of these outer pads are crucial to the functioning of the SIM reader. | |
| [* black] You can also cut the old reader shield into smaller pieces with scissors, to make the removal process easier. |
