Hi Evocativekitsune,

I wouldn't advise to do that. It happens often that dust finds its way underneath the phone case and therefore straight into your phone. I suggest to use at least some regular double sided tape (you can cut it in small strips by yourself) to glue the back cover selectively back onto the midframe. It's still not the best protection however it's better than a completely loose cover. Don't forget to remove the old adhesive backings before applying new adhesive!

Hi Ryan,

the warning applies more in relation to a removed battery than to one which was only disconnected. A removed one could be bent or have other damages that are not immediately visible and could cause damage to the mouse, fire or a thermal event or may leak dangerous chemicals. However, this is not necessarily the case, but there is always the possibility. That is why we warn and point this out within the repair guide.

Hi Justin,

thanks for mentioning. That one got overlooked during guide creation!

Hi Andrei,

if you want to replace the battery there is only one in the left side of the headphones you need to replace.

Hi Zachary,

in order to assure that the rear glass sticks to the rest of the phone assembly you have to replace the rear glass adhesive once you removed the rear glass. However you can use a narrow and strong double sided tape, tesa tape or our precut adhesive card. All of these will do their job however as you just mentioned you will lose the water protection of your phone. Before installing all of these it is very important to remove the old adhesive backings (for example with high isopropyl alcohol 90% or higher).

Sadly it's not possible to replace the rear glass without new adhesive.

Hallo Gleichlaufartisten Live,

wenn du die Kappe am unteren Ende mit Hilfe deiner Ladestation gelockert hast, solltest du durch leichtes weiterdrehen und ziehen die Kappe entfernen können.

Hi Neil,

we have a general “How to apply custom-cut adhesive strips” guide which might help you.

Hi Kashyap,

sadly nothing doesn’t offer any replacement parts for the ear(1). You can try to dry the charging case to see if it’s still working. However if not, you might find some replacement parts in the internet, otherwise you possibly need to get a new one.

Hi Kaldea, I’m not sure which part you actually broke off but in case you’re fit in soldering you should be able to solder the cable back onto the pin. In case you broke the side which is in contact with the battery you need to find a replacement part for it. You might be lucky in a well sorted electronic or model making store.

Hi insomniacno1,

it’s not necessary to disconnect the fingerprint cable but if you don’t, you have the rear glass dangling on your phone during all other repairs. This step is relatively easy and makes other repairs way more comfortable after you put the rear glass to the side.
