Removing the sensor cable

The flex cable of the earpiece contains several sensors which go through various holes in the display. For example the proximity sensor is right under the earpiece. This sensor switches off the display when you hold it to your ear to talk.

1. First remove the small metal holder above the ambient light sensor.
2. The flex cable is slightly glued. Use a heat gun or a regular blowdryer to soften the glue.
3. Slide a flat, strong tool like a steel spatula or tweezers under the flex cable. Be careful!
4. Carefully pry the different sensors from their openings.
Be extra careful when removing these parts. The flex cable is very easy to damage.
5. If all parts are off, you can remove the flex cable.
