    • Using a plastic opening tool, pry off the plastic border by inserting it in the space between the green bumper and the white plastic on the edge of the tablet.

    • The border snaps into place, so don't be too worried if you hear a cracking noise while prying it off.

    • Wedge a plastic opening tool underneath the battery and lift the battery up.

    • The battery is held in place by an adhesive strip, so it can be difficult to pry off.

    How do you get that little black loop that the battery wires are wrapped in, out? Does it just pop out? I’m afraid to pull to hard

    • The battery has red, black, and white wires that are all connected to the motherboard through a plastic clip. Unplug this plastic clip to fully remove the battery from your device.

    • Remove the three 4.0 mm Phillips screws located in the corners of the motherboard.

    • Lift up the front edge of the motherboard.

    • Lift the volume-control button out of the device and set it aside.

  11. FblSfXBWLJ46K4mZ

    • Gently tug upwards on the red and black twisted wires located near the button you just removed to release the black rubber base they are connected to from the device.

    • This does not take much force, so it is likely that this piece will pop out of place when initially lifting the motherboard.

    • Rotate your device 180 degrees so the the motherboard is on your right-hand side and gently lift the front edge of the motherboard to reveal an orange sheet of plastic.

    • Disconnect the orange sheet from the motherboard by lifting the metal tab on the connector (as you did for the cables in steps 1 and 2), and lift the motherboard completely out of the device.

    • Lift up the speaker board and locate the white ribbon attached to its underside.

    • Fully remove the speaker board from the device by gently pulling the ribbon cables out of the slot.

    • Be gentle when working with the ribbon as it can be damaged easily.

    • Tweezers or a pointed plastic spudger will help guide the ribbon back through the black tabs when reassembling your device.

    • Remove the power and the volume buttons from their cradles.

    • This does not require any tool, just lift them out and put them in a secure place.

    • The screen is now completely accessible and can be lifted out of its cradle. Use the plastic spudger to safely and carefully lift the screen up.
