Step 2

              Remove the rear cover
  • One side at a time, insert a pick next to the nosepiece, slide it to the edge and pry.
  • When both sides are loose, carefully lift the cover out, and fold it so that the nose piece is on the outer perimeter of the device, as shown in the second image.
  • The proximity sensor is still connected via a flex cable, so be careful to not rip or crease the cable.
  • Lift the small black clip on the ZIF connecter up, and pull the flex cable out.
  • The cable is lightly adhered to the headset so be careful when removing it.
  • During reassembly, make sure to position the cable correctly. Latching the small black clip back on shouldn’t require much force. If you don’t connect the cable correctly, the headset’s screen may stay black and the device will turn off after a few seconds.

Thank you so much to me for making this guide. Helped me a lot!

It is worth emphasizing that this device has 2! WIFI antennas.

Anyone who wants to disconnect WIFI from their device must disconnect both.

Their connection to the motherboard, is right next to each other, but the right connection is immediately revealed while the left connection next to it is hidden under the black cover and requires a number of additional disassembly steps.

Alternatively, anyone who wants to disconnect WIFI from their device can disconnect the wires in the area where they connect to the antenna stickers on the right and left sides of the eyepieces of the glasses, thus saving all the disassembly of the front cover.

Thanks!! this really helped me, I have already customized mine with an official custom filter, but this will add an additional layer of Kashrus.

If you just need to replace a camera… it’s 14 screws. You need a T2 and a PH0 (not a P0…) Pretty easy once you get the front cover off and not covered here. It’s pretty easy to see what you do once you get in there though. Good luck!

PH0 and P0 are the same :)
