Delicate wires are soldered to the outer edges of the thumbstick board. Be very careful during this step to avoid tearing the wires from the board.

Gently lift the thumbstick board and reposition it over the bottom of the midframe so the board is standing upright.

The headset jack may fall out, as nothing is securing it to the charging board anymore.

During reassembly:

Use the alignment posts to orient the board.

When lowering the board into place, make sure the black antenna cables don't get stuck under the board.
