Step 4

              Prepping The New Cover               
  • Put the number pad into the new cover and push it down
  • For the power button, I recommend using blunt nose tweezers to put the button in with the slope on the top of the button going down towards the speaker hole, then using a spudger to push it in
  • Using pointed tweezers can put holes in the power button and possibly break the button, only use blunt nose tweezers
