The charging port and headphone jack are on a small board at the bottom. You'll need to transfer this to the new frame. Common failure point: The antenna cable runs along the bottom and is very easy to tear. Use tweezers.

Remove all tiny screws from the back. Key tip: There are 2-3 screws that are shorter than the others. Draw a map on a piece of tape or use an ice cube tray. If you put a long screw in a short hole, you'll puncture the motherboard.
