Werkzeuge

Schritt 1

Turn the device on its screen.
Remove the ten 4mm screws using a T8 Torx screwdriver.

Schritt 2

Gently flip out support feet located near the bottom of device.

Schritt 3

Gently lift the back cover off the device. The back cover should come off easily.

Schritt 4

Use the opening tool's angled edge to lift the clasps securing the screen and motherboard cables.

It’s not necessary to remove the cables. Unclip the white touch cable from the touch board as shown in step 8, then remove the two screws holding the board to the frame, as shown in step 9. The board can then be moved out of the way to lay flat on your work surface without having to disconnect all the cables. Doing this eliminates this step and step 5. The order of operations then would be steps 1-3, 8, 9, 6, 7, and 10.
