Introduction

The power and volume buttons toggle the power and control the volume level on the phone respectively. Faulty volume and power buttons can lead to loss of control over the power and volume of the phone.

What you need

Step 1

              Fingerprint Sensor
  • Insert an opening pick under the screen, starting at the top of the phone.
  • Work the pick along the edges of the phone while placing them in the corners.
  • After placing the picks along the edge of the screen, refer to step 2.
  • Unlike the front of the phone, it is fine to use the picks on the left side of the phone because there are no cables that can be damaged.
  • While not necessary, applying a heat gun will weaken the adhesive, making this step significantly easier and quicker.
