  • With the camera cover removed your phone should look like below. A number of ribbon connectors (circled in red) need to be disconnected. Each attaches like a plug and socket. Just lever each one up to unplug. Next, remove the screw, circled below in blue. The volume button, indicated by the arrow, should now be loose and can be removed. Below the volume button is the micro switch for the volume. This is stuck down to the side of the phone with double sided tape. Carefully peel it away from the side of the phone but note that it will still be attached to the circuit board and you should not try and detach it from the circuit board.
