Passo 2

Use the edge of a plastic opening tool to pry the dock cable up from its socket on the logic board.

Passo 3

Peel the dock connector cable off the adhesive securing it to the logic board and the side of the speaker enclosure.

Editar

When reassembling, peel adhesive strips off dock connector cable, but do not stick them down. First plug the cable into it's socket, then stick down the cable. It will make locating the plug in the socket easier.

The metal piece with white and black areas stuck to the adhesive and pulled off the board for me. There are some chips under it. It popped back on the board and didn't seem to be a problem.

Passo 4

Use the edge of a plastic opening tool to pry the cellular antenna cable up from its socket on the logic board.
De-route the cellular antenna cable out from under the metal fingers attached to the logic board.

Note, the pictures do not show the routing of the cable under the metal finger next to where the battery was. Make sure the cable is replaced under the finger when reassembling.

The trickiest part for me was reconnecting the antenna cable to the socket. Do it carefully!

A tip is to mold the cable and connector so that it stays correctly aligned with the socket, and all you have to worry about is pressing the connector against the socket.

Bump on the comment re: no picture here shows the proper cable route. The text mentions being careful to route it under the metal finger, but no way to know where that it is from these pictures. The re-route is: around the left side of the screw socket and then the right side of the silver thing (finger) which is to the right of the battery connector.

In this picture (actually in all of them) the cellular antenna cable is not routed properly (red line). Be sure when reassembling your iPhone 4s to route the cable around the metal finger (yellow line).

Use a plastic opening tool to lift the speaker enclosure assembly out of the case, being sure not to damage the EMI fingers on the attached Wi-Fi antenna.
Remove the speaker enclosure assembly.
Before reinstalling the speaker enclosure assembly's screws, be sure the Wi-Fi grounding fingers are installed below the lip in the iPhone's metal case as seen in the third picture.
Before reassembly, be sure to clean all metal-to-metal contact points between the grounding fingers of the Wi-Fi antenna and the case of the iPhone with a de-greaser such as windex or isopropyl alcohol. The oils on your fingers have the potential to cause wireless interference issues.

The spring contacts on the speaker bottom make re-installing a bit tricky, since they make the speaker pop up until the screws are back in. If this happens, one or more of the fingers that are supposed to be under the case will pop out. What I found worked was to put the speaker in, getting the metal fingers under the case as directed, and then hold the speaker down with while putting the two screws in, along with that triangle piece.

I was holding the plastic triangle spacer in a pair of tweezers, and it shot out like a watermelon seed ya squeeze between your fingers!

It shot (I think) into a high-clutter area of the room and I can't find it. I made a replacement spacer out of plastic and I'll hope it works. Where am I going to buy a stupid little replacement spacer? I think I'm outta luck..

Im reassembling the phone and as I was going to place the speaker back on, two rubber pieces popped out. Based on the images here I cant seem to determine where they go. Please help.
