We will be removing components from the back of the phone; the battery is sandwiched between the motherboard and the screen so it's right in the middle of everything

The service cover is easily visible from the back of the phone. There is an indentation to put a finger nail/spudger to pry upward

There are 2 screws located underneath the label that shows where your sim card/microSD card go. Pry the label upwards to gain access.
