    Some stupid person put a sticker on the fifth screw. If you can not find the fifth screw, check if there are any BLACK (yes, black) stickers on top of them. Also, which 'designer' made the first design choice for plastic clips? I WILL FIND YOU. AND KILL YOU. *!&*^#% stupidest way to affirm or secure something!

    It must be done very carefully: I'd broken both white pieces. Hope has no consequences ...

    You also can start from the interior (white pieces all around batterie place)

I would suggest to rename the guide to "Fairphone Wi-Fi Antenna and Microphone Daughterboard Replacement", because it is also what you need to do to replace a broken fairphone microphone.
