Hi. As some have suggested, it is much easier and less risky to just remove the touch cable and 3 screws, isolate then remove the battery. The battery info now shows '1 cycle' but it still says 'service recommended'. Is there a way to reset this? (aftermarket battery)
There is no need to remove the front facing camera or power button/flex. At this point you can just remove the retainer clip over the sensor assembly, pry the sensor assembly from it's holder, bring it back over and clear of the earpiece speaker, carefully pry the speaker from the frame, replace the speaker with new one, reassemble.
