Open HTC One X - Here's how
If you want to change the battery of your HTC One X, you have to open it. This practical tip shows you how to do this without damaging your cell phone.
How to open HTC One X
As a tool you need five clips, as they are included in Opening Tools. Alternatively, you can also use thin picks, such as those used for guitar playing.
- First, turn off HTC One X. Then remove the SIM card slot.
- Now place a clip carefully on the short side at the bottom left and use it to lift the display slightly. Then place another clip at the bottom left of the long side and push the display up a little.
- Now carefully slide the clip that was set first to the right to open the bottom side completely.
- Place additional clips further up on the left long side and below on the right long side. Use the new clips to lift the shell up a little too. If you hear a soft crack, don't be alarmed. These are the clip noses that come loose.
- Slowly slide the clip up on the right. The HTC One X should now be a bit open. Before you continue, make sure that the film you see in the small gap is still on the display unit.
- Now slowly and carefully pull the display unit and housing apart. You may have to overcome yourself to do this. The inside of the display unit is attached to the case with adhesive tape, so it is not that easy.
- Once you have released the adhesive tapes, slide the display unit down and HTC One X is open in front of you.
