  • Our first target is the Razr's lower rear cover. Behind the fancy folding façade, this is still a smartphone like any other, so we're guessing a hot iOpener is our ticket in.

  • Just a little heat does the trick! We're able to wedge an opening pick in there and begin our journey.

  • We're grateful for the innovations of modern smartphones, but boy, would we love to see the slide-off plastic or metal access panels of yesteryear.

  • Once all the glue is sliced, the cover can wiggle free. But wait! Eagle-eyed viewers may spot the fingerprint sensor cable next to the home button, just waiting to be torn by an eager disassembler.

  • Without repair documentation, booby traps like these can turn a simple fix into a DIY nightmare.
