HTC One S Rear Case Replacement

Place the iOpener in the center of the microwave.

Heat the iOpener for thirty seconds.

Throughout the repair procedure, as the iOpener cools, reheat it in the microwave for an additional thirty seconds at a time.

Remove the iOpener from the microwave, holding it by one of the two flat ends to avoid the hot center.

Fill a pot or pan with enough water to fully submerge an iOpener.

Heat the water to a boil. Turn off the heat.

Place an iOpener into the hot water for 2-3 minutes. Make sure the iOpener is fully submerged in the water.

Use tongs to extract the heated iOpener from the hot water.

Thoroughly dry the iOpener with a towel.

Your iOpener is ready for use! If you need to reheat the iOpener, heat the water to a boil, turn off the heat, and place the iOpener in the water for 2-3 minutes.

Handling it by the tag, place the heated iOpener across the bottom casing.

Gently place an opening pick in the corner of the gap between the bottom casing and rear case.

Slide the opening pick along the side of the casing, prying it away from the adhesive as you go.

Use your fingers to pull the bottom casing off the rest of the phone.

Starting at the groove near the headphone jack, use a plastic opening tool to lift the top casing.

Use your fingers to pull the top casing off of the rest of the phone.

Remove the following screws holding the rear case to the rest of the phone:

Two 3.15 mm Phillips #00 screws

One 4.15 Torx T5 screw

One 4 mm Torx T5 screw

Place your fingers on either side of the phone and gently push up on the rear case.

Pull the rear case away from the rest of the phone with your hands.
