Removing the Lightning connector

• 1 × 1,9 mm Y-Type
• 2 × 2,6 mm Standoff
• 2 × 3,5 mm Phillips

The flex cable of the Lightning connector is glued into the back cover of your iPhone X. Additionally the Lightning connector is fixed with several screws.

1. Loosen all screws of the Lightning connector. Two screws are slightly longer and therefore more difficult to loosen.

Heat the entire flex cable with a hot air device to make it easier to remove.

1. Use a flat, sturdy tool to gently drive under the flex cable and gradually remove it from the bottom of the back cover. We use a steel spatula for this purpose.
2. Use the lever with the steel spatula to carefully remove the microphone from the edge of the rear case.
3. Also lever the Lightning connector out of its lead in the rear case's edge.
4. When everything is detached, you can remove the Lightning connector including the flex cable.
