Before disassembling the tablet: make sure the tablet is off, disconnect the power cord from the tablet, and disconnect all external devices from the tablet.
Using a Phillips #00 screwdriver, remove the two Phillips PM 1.4×3.2mm screws located next to the charging port.

Schritt 2

Place the suction cup on the lower right corner of the tablet display glass, making sure to place the suction cup inside the edges of the border of the display glass.
Insert a plastic pick in between the display and the tablet case. Then use a plastic removal tool to separate the display further.
Pull on the suction cup while using the prying tool to separate the display from the tablet.
Gently lift the display from the tablet in order to avoid damaging the cables.

Might want to use the spudger tool to pry the screen up. We had difficulty using the pry tool. to pull up the screen.

display is held to the base by 3 magnetized tips on the right edge and 4 on the bottom edge (charging port) of the display. the ones on the right are at the center and at each corner before the display curves. on the bottom edge, 2 are at the corners and the other 2 are 1.5” inward. the top and left edges are friction tips. prying along the edges releases the magnetic tips from the base.

Schritt 3

To disconnect the cables, use the spudger tool to gently pull back on the black tab located on the side of the connector while gently pulling the cable.
Release the zero insertion force (ZIF) connector to which the TouchScreen cable is attached, and then disconnect the TouchScreen cable from the system board.

Need to Add the spudger tool and differentiate between the black spudger tool and the blue plastic pry tool.

When disconnecting the cables we found that the wording “ push the tab” was confusing. We had to pull up the black tab for the ribbon cables to disconnect.

i didn’t know what a spudger tool was but didn’t find any black tab to push or pull. both of my cables were taped on the bottom and top. they also had adhesive on the bottoms. i removed the tape, gently lifted the cables away from the silver cover the were stuck to and pulled the cables out from their zif sockets.

i figured out how the zif sockets work and am correcting my previous comment. on my unit, the zif sockets are black and the release levers are white. i “opened” the zif sockets by flipping up the white edges that were furthest from the cables. i removed the tape, gently lifted the cables away from the silver cover they were stuck to and pulled the cables out of the zif sockets.

Detach the NFC antenna from the surface of the system board.
The NFC antenna is attached to the system board with double-sided adhesive.

This shot is a bit blurry as well—consider also pulling back a bit.

my antenna had thin black foam and was sitting on top of the single sided tape connected to the power button board ribbon cable.
