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
