Battery replacement
Drain the battery below 25% before starting. Use isopropyl alcohol to dissolve the adhesive under the battery. Never pry with metal tools - puncture risk. Apply new adhesive strips when installing.
Camera lens cracked
The rear camera lens can be replaced separately. Heat the lens area and use a suction cup to pull the broken glass. Clean the adhesive and press the new lens into place.
