Sony Xperia Z1 Compact Earpiece Speaker

Schritt 1

Heat along the edges of the back cover using a heat gun to soften the glue.

Schritt 2

Attach the small suction cup to the back cover near the bottom of the phone.
Pull up on the suction cup and insert the plastic opening tool in between the back cover and the rest of the phone.

Schritt 3

Move the spudger around the edge of the back cover to separate it from the black adhesive.
Separating the back cover from the rest of the phone ruins the adhesive which makes it no longer waterproof.

Schritt 4

Carefully disconnect the battery from the logic board by using the plastic spudger as a lever.

Schritt 5

Remove the single 1 x 3.0 mm screw holding the battery in using the JIS #00 screwdriver.

The replacement batteries probably come without the new NFC sticker, so you’ll have to transfer it from the original one to the replacement. This can be easily done with an iPlastix and a good amount of isopropyl alcohol. Do this carefully.

There may be a small yellow adhesive underneath the motherboard still holding it in. Slide the tip of the spudger through it to sever it.
