Be careful here: the silver plates have a ribbon cable connected to them, and it\u2019s very easy to damage this cable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gpdstore.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Four-screws-to-remove-1200x675.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/gpdstore.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Four-screws-to-remove-1200x675.jpg\" alt=\"Four screws to remove\" class=\"wp-image-1088000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gpdstore.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Four-screws-to-remove-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/gpdstore.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Four-screws-to-remove-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/gpdstore.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Four-screws-to-remove-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gpdstore.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Four-screws-to-remove-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gpdstore.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Four-screws-to-remove-360x203.jpg 360w, https:\/\/gpdstore.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Four-screws-to-remove-990x557.jpg 990w, https:\/\/gpdstore.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Four-screws-to-remove-441x248.jpg 441w, https:\/\/gpdstore.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Four-screws-to-remove-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gpdstore.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Four-screws-to-remove.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Four screws to remove<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ll see the golden connectors (indicated in the picture below) are attached to a small metal plate. This whole assembly is glued down. To get it off, it\u2019s best to use a little bit of heat to loosen the glue \u2013 this will make removal easier. The glue itself isn\u2019t very strong, but applying some gentle heat is a safer way to detach the ribbon cable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gpdstore.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Carefully-disconnect-the-ribbon-cable-1200x675.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/gpdstore.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Carefully-disconnect-the-ribbon-cable-1200x675.jpg\" alt=\"Carefully disconnect the ribbon cable\" class=\"wp-image-1088037\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gpdstore.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Carefully-disconnect-the-ribbon-cable-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/gpdstore.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Carefully-disconnect-the-ribbon-cable-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/gpdstore.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Carefully-disconnect-the-ribbon-cable-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gpdstore.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Carefully-disconnect-the-ribbon-cable-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gpdstore.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Carefully-disconnect-the-ribbon-cable-360x203.jpg 360w, https:\/\/gpdstore.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Carefully-disconnect-the-ribbon-cable-990x557.jpg 990w, https:\/\/gpdstore.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Carefully-disconnect-the-ribbon-cable-441x248.jpg 441w, https:\/\/gpdstore.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Carefully-disconnect-the-ribbon-cable-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gpdstore.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Carefully-disconnect-the-ribbon-cable.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Carefully disconnect the ribbon cable<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that you\u2019ve taken these components out of the old back plate, go ahead and install them onto the new one. Doing this will allow your back buttons to work correctly again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Add some tape to keep the ribbon cable secure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To keep the ribbon cable secure, it\u2019s a good idea to use some tape. We suggest you add a piece of double-sided tape underneath the cable \u2013 take a look at the first picture below to see how. This will do a good job of holding the ribbon cable firmly. If you\u2019ve already closed up the case and prefer not to open it, you can apply tape differently, as shown in the second picture instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery
