  • This step requires significant force, and has a chance of damaging your device. It takes around 10-minutes of creating gaps and prying to get it off. Perform at your own risk!

  • If confused with this step, please watch the video to see how it was performed.

  • Carefully insert an iFixit "Jimmy" Tool (flat flexible steel blade) between the hard white plastic housing and edge of the LED light ring.

  • Pry the "Jimmy" tool slightly sideways and insert an iFixit "Metal Spudger" into the gap created. Slide it down inside the housing around half an inch.

  • Use the metal spudger to pry carefully slowly working your way in a circle around the LED Light ring to attempt to slowly work it backwards out of the housing.

  • There is glue holding down the led light ring, so it might take some decent force to pry it, (see third photo).

  • The LED Ring is sealed in place tightly using a rubber gasket, (see photo in next step).
