4. Operating Instructions

Always exercise caution and refer to device-specific repair guides when working on electronic devices. Disconnect power and remove batteries if possible before starting repairs.

4.1. Using the Precision Screwdriver

1. Select Bit: Choose the correct bit for the screw head.
2. Insert Bit: Securely insert the bit into the screwdriver handle.
3. Apply Pressure: Place the screwdriver tip onto the screw head and apply gentle, consistent downward pressure.
4. Turn: Rotate the screwdriver slowly to loosen or tighten the screw. Avoid excessive force to prevent stripping the screw head.

4.2. Using the Plastic Pry Tools

Plastic pry tools are essential for separating device components that are held together by clips or adhesive, minimizing the risk of scratching or damaging the casing.

1. Identify Seams: Locate the seams or gaps where the device's casing components meet.
2. Insert Tool: Gently insert the thin edge of a plastic pry tool into the seam.
3. Leverage: Carefully twist or slide the tool along the seam to disengage clips or separate adhesive. Work slowly and avoid excessive force.

4.3. Using the Suction Cup

The suction cup is primarily used to lift screens or panels that are secured with adhesive or require gentle separation.

1. Clean Surface: Ensure the surface of the screen or panel is clean and free of dust or debris.
2. Attach Suction Cup: Press the suction cup firmly onto the screen or panel, ensuring a good seal.
3. Lift Gently: While holding the device, pull the ring of the suction cup gently upwards to create a gap. Use a plastic pry tool in conjunction with the suction cup if necessary to widen the opening.

4.4. Using the SIM Ejector Tool

The SIM ejector tool is designed for safely opening SIM card trays on compatible devices.

1. Locate SIM Tray: Find the small hole next to the SIM card tray on your device.
2. Insert Tool: Insert the tip of the SIM ejector tool into the hole.
3. Apply Gentle Pressure: Push gently until the SIM tray pops out. Do not force the tool.

5. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your Connex COXB364006 repair kit.

• Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the tools with a clean, dry cloth to remove any dust, grease, or debris.
• Storage: Always store the tools back in their original storage box. This protects them from damage, prevents loss, and keeps them organized.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the screwdriver bits for wear or damage. Replace any worn bits to maintain precision and prevent damage to screws.

6. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues that may arise during the use of the repair kit.

• Stripped Screw Head: If a screw head becomes stripped, ensure you are using the correct bit size and applying adequate downward pressure. In some cases, a slightly larger bit or specialized screw extractor tools (not included) may be required.
• Difficulty Opening Casing: If the casing is difficult to open, ensure all screws have been removed. Apply gentle heat (e.g., from a hairdryer, carefully) to soften adhesive if present, then use the plastic pry tools and suction cup with increased caution.
• Bits Not Holding in Screwdriver: Ensure the bit is fully inserted into the screwdriver's chuck. If the chuck mechanism is loose, inspect for damage.
