Kurio 7 Volume/ Power Button Replacement

Begin by removing the rubber cover from the Kurio 7.

Remove the four 30 mm Phillips #00 screws from the outer case.

Insert the plastic opening tool in the gap between the front cover and the back cover of the device.

Slide the plastic opening tool around the edge of the device. Gently pry apart the tabs that hold the front cover and the back cover together.

Once all of the tabs are removed, the back cover should come off easily.

Use a plastic credit card, or other thin object, to separate the battery from the screen.

Carefully set the battery aside.

Use a Phillips #00 screwdriver to remove the eight 40mm screws holding the motherboard in place.

Place the plastic opening tool on the base of the black ribbon clip and pull up, like a lever, to release the mount. This should release the clip holding the ribbon to the mount.

Pull the ribbon out of the mount.

There should be masking tape on the yellow ribbon. Pull the tape off of the motherboard and wrap it around the yellow ribbon.

To remove the ribbon from the mount, follow the same steps in Step 3.

Pull back the ribbons and put the battery near the bottom of the Kurio.

The motherboard is now removed so that other components can be worked on.

Flip motherboard down near base of device.

This is tricky, and an extra pair of hands may help. Use the opening tool to pry the screen out from underneath the tabs holding it in place.

Once you have created some space between the screen and the cover, slide the opening tool under the screen.

Slide the opening tool around the outside of the screen, releasing the tabs as you go along.

Pull the screen out from the casing.

You have successfully removed the screen!

Locate the volume button. It will be located at the corner adjacent to the speaker.

Pull out the detached power key.

Remove volume button by using the opening tool to push inward from the outside while pulling on it from the inside using the tweezers.
