Einleitung

The front screen of your HP tablet is the toughest thing to replace - you need to go through the rest of the tablet first, starting at the back and working your way forward. The same goes for the volume buttons. In this guide, you will be removing the following:

  1. Back Cover
  2. Battery
  3. Charging Port
  4. Speaker Unit
  5. Motherboard
  6. Front LCD Screen

Prepare your required tools, a new battery for your tablet, and set aside about 30 to 40 minutes to delve into the inner workings of your HP Slate.

    • Begin your replacement by using a T3 or T4 Torx screwdriver.

    • Remove the two 1.4mm x 3mm Torx Head screws at the top of the device.

    On the HP 10 Plus 2201 there are no head screws. I used the spudger to 'carefully' separate the case. There are little snaps on the inside of case that will separate with little pressure on spudger.

    • With the pointed end of the spudger, remove the thin metal band.

    • It is easiest to remove the metal band through the headphone opening.

    On HP 10 Plus 2201 there is no metal band. The case simply unsnaps apart.

    • Using the flat end of the spudger, pry back the rear plastic cover.

    • As you work your way around the edge, several "pop" noises will be made. These noises are caused by the plastic clips coming undone.

    This is basically how I opened my HP 10 Plus 2201. "Using the flat end of the spudger, pry back (apart) the rear plastic cover from tablet.

    The battery connections weren't the plug in type. The three battery battery wires (red, white, & black) were soldered into place,

    • Using the pointed end of the spudger, push both sides of the speaker wire connector out of its base.

    • Push the same amount on both sides of the connector to avoid jamming or twisting its metal pins.

    • Do not yank or pull on the speaker wires, since they are fragile. Only push on the white connector.

    Do not pull on wires. Never force anything.

    note the route of the speaker cables round the battery

    • You now have access to the LCD screen.

    • You can replace the volume rocker by lifting it up and out of the device.

    • The volume rocker should be reinserted so the "up" button is toward the top of the tablet during reassembly.

    Is it possible to only replace the digitizer or do I need to replace the whole part including the lcd?

    Marios Pitsillides -

    Unfortunately, replacing the digitizer alone is next to impossible without damaging the actual LCD screen, so the whole screen is what needs to be replaced.

    Zachary -

    Excellent instructions. My unit (Slate 7 2800) had a couple small pieces of tape from the motherboard to the case under the torx screws, but no trouble.

    Now the trouble. I'm replacing the front touch glass, and it appears to be glued into the case from the front side. I've tried carefully prying from the front around the edges and get a little loosening, but not enough to remove it. Is this the right approach? I assume that the display screen is just held captive in the well of the case and the touch glass. Do you have a thought to help?
