Apple iPhone SE – Specification - Disassembling procedure

2.16 or 64 GB of storage
3. 4-inch, 1136 x 640 pixels (326 ppi) Retina display
4. 12 MP iSight camera supporting 4K video recording with 1.22 µ pixels, and a 1.2 MP f/2.4 FaceTime HD camera
5. 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wi‑Fi + Bluetooth 4.2 + NFC + 19-band LTE
6. Touch ID sensor supporting user authentication and Apple Pay.
DISASSEMBLING PROECDURE
Remove the two Pentalobes screw.
Close the handle on the Sclack, opening the suction-cup jaws.
Place the bottom of your iPhone in between the suction cups, against the plastic depth gauge.
The top suction cup should rest just above the home button.
Open the handles to close the jaws of the Sclack. Center the suction cups and press them firmly onto the top and bottom of the iPhone.
Just like in the iPhone 5s, lurking beneath the display of the SE  find the familiar Touch ID cable booby trap.
For those not in the know, this cable adds a small element of danger to disassembly, as pulling up the display too far without first removing the bracket and disconnecting the cable could  cause accidental damage to the cable.A side-by-side comparison of displays out of the 5s (left) and SE (right) reveals... they're pretty much identical
The similarities are more than skin deep. After a little testing, found the 5s display is plugand-play in the SE -fitment, connectors, and functionality are the same. It fires right up.
The Li-ion battery in the iPhone SE comes in at 3.82 V, 6.21 Whr, and 1624 mAh. This offers a  minor (but notable) capacity increase from the 1560 mAh cell in the 5s.
Though it's not quite as capacious as the 1715 mAh cell found in the larger (and more powerhungry) iPhone 6s, Apple states this battery will provide up to 10 days of standby, 14 hours of   talk time, and 13 hours of video playback.
Despite the apparently interchangeable displays, the SE's battery connector differs from that of the 5s. So, no chance to supercharge your old 5s, unfortunately.
Next up,  pluck the upgraded rear-facing camera from its berth.
While it looks pretty similar to the one in the 5s (left), the SE's camera (right) has far fewer pins on its connector.
The SE's iSight camera gets a resolution bump up to 12 MP, but a decrease in pixel pitch down to 1.22µm from the 1.5µm pitch in the 5s.
Out speaker assembly, out vibrator, out SIM card and tray.
Our testing confirms all these bits are interchangeable with their counterparts from the 5s - same form, same function. They bolt right up, and they work like a charm.
Rose gold remains SE exclusive though, so you may need to upgrade for proper color coordination.
Also of note: waterproof seals. There be foamy silicone seals surrounding some - but, mysteriously, not all - of the logic board connections.
The front camera, volume controls, and rear camera connectors all get the fancy waterproofing treatment, while the LCD, digitizer, battery, and Lightning connector assembly all seemingly go without.
You finally wrestle the Lightning connector assembly out of the 5s SE.
It looks just like the 5s assembly, but the connectors are a smidge different; you couldn't get a 5s/SE swap to work out.
Maybe a change to allow for USB 3.0 Speculation welcome.

The power button bracket now has some kind of contact cable doohickey, instead of a simple clip, potentially for grounding.
BLU Energy X Plus – Disassembling procedure – How to replace the speakers
Before disassembling your BLU Energy X Plus, make sure it is powered off.
Flip your device to the left side facing up and take out the SD card tray using the SIM card eject tool. You will insert the tool in at an angle and lift the tray up.
Flip your device to the right side facing up and use the SIM card eject tool to remove the SIM card  by pushing the tool in the hole. You will feel a button click and the tray should slide out 2mm. You will then use your fingers to pull the tray out.
Flip your device over so your back cover is facing up.
Take the blue plastic opening tool and insert it in-between the back of the phone and the chrome trim. Go all the way around the device slowly to take the back cover off.
Remove the six silver screws from the cover plate, and one black screw from the top.
Use the screwdriver head J000 to remove all the screws.
Six silver screws, all 1.5mm in length.
One black screw, 1mm in length.
After all the screws are out, lift the protective metal cover off of the phone. Lift from the bottom of the cover.
Use the small blue plastic opening tool to lift the contact attached to the battery from the motherboard of the phone.
Use the small blue plastic opening tool to lift the battery from the bottom with little force because the battery will be glued in.
Then, use your hand to remove the battery completely.
Remove the four silver screws usinga J000 screwdriver bit .
Four silver screws, all 1.5mm in length.
There will be a fifth silver screw that is covered by a white sticker.
Remove this screw using the J000 screw driver head.
One silver screw, 1.5mm in length.

Lift the module where the speaker is located.
