    • Carefully remove the faceplate by lifting it firmly.

    • Avoid rough movements, as there is a single thin wire connecting the faceplate to the internals.

    • If the repair is for the right-side driver, be mindful of the charging port, as the faceplate has a slot there for it. Lift the opposite end and back the port out.

    • To completely detach the faceplate, desolder the wires from the connections on the motherboard.
