Is there a good guide how to remove the back cover of a Kindle 4?
I found one or two that came down to "apply lots of pressure, use a heat gun"
But not much detail about where to apply pressure and how not to break pins.
If I'm not mistaken, there are 4 serious pins at the top and bottom of the cover, a ton of glue in the centre, and some misc pins at the sides.
It seems the top and bottom pins require lot of pressure, but one guy in a video broke a few pins on the side, and seemed to be quite content with it.
How hard is it to solder the serial terminal? I have some experience with through-hole and wires and stuff, but never did these surface mount type of things.
