    • Use the plastic opening tool to remove the back cover. Carefully slide the tool between the front glass and back cover.

    • Slide the tool along the edge to work the back cover off.

    • It helps to have an extra tool to stick in the gap and keep the back cover separated from the glass as you slide the other tool.

    Did this tablet have a speaker soldered onto the mainboard? I'm working on a Nextbook 8 NX785QC8G as well, and the first thing I saw was that there's a speaker held together with three screws and a bit of adhesive to the back cover and its cables are soldered onto the motherboard. I don't believe that I ruined them, but they do look a little loose.

    The first Nextbook 8 model NX785QC8G tablet I bought, was from Walmart sometime mid summer 2014 AND it was running Jelly Bean. Battery lasted maybe 5 1/2 months; didn't realize tablet had 1 year warranty if I registered tablet with copy of receipt and have it fixed.

    So, bought another Nextbook NX785QC8Gu several months later; this one came out running KitKat. I registered online and copied my receipt, which was uploaded to them. Still have had several problems with battery...ie.turning off before completely discharged, not charging in a reliable steady manner,and more. The Li-ion battery(what I thought it was), being 4,000 mAh, should be more than enough to last quite a long time....No web surfing, d.loading or game playing...just YouTube video watching. Can this battery be changed out? The first nextbook the battery quit in, I took it apart - the battery was glued & the speaker wires were attached just as you described.

    Start on the side opposite the Power and Volume controls. And try not to push the Power and Volume controls on whatever surface you’re using to stabilize/hold the tablet during removal of the back cover. Otherwise you will turn the tablet ON, or get it into DNX Mode.

    • Use a spudger to carefully disconnect the battery connector from the motherboard.

    • When working with electronics, it's important to choose a tool that's ESD-safe to avoid accidental damage to the device. The regular black nylon spudger or a plastic opening tool should be used whenever possible.

    Why the five wires when most batterys have 2-3. What do the five wires do. Thank you

    • Use a spudger to lift up the black bar on the two ZIF connectors located above the battery.

    • Using the flat end of a spudger, carefully work the spudger under the battery, lifting it off of the device.

    • The battery is very malleable, so do not try to pull it off all at once.

    Also some models have the battery glued down. You'll need to work on trying to pull up the glue work in a circle going around the edge of the battery it was tough you can damage your battery if you do not do this step carefully

Thank you for this!

Samuel Landers -

Ok thanks for the guide very helpful. Where can I pick a glass up at? And what's the going price?

mikediehl99 -

My repair kit has specifically the touch glass meaning i need to separate the glass form the frame, how do you do this?

Tanther Panther -

I just found the frame can be separated from the glass with a spudger-type thing, I used a fine blade like a craft knife (be careful!!). started at the bottom inside end and worked my way around, trying not to damage the frame in the process. Just to clarify this is for the NX785QC8G.

The glass is attached to the frame with adhesive, so the new glass will need to be stuck back on in a similar way. It’s strange that this part wasn’t mentioned in the instructions, as it was supposed to be for replacing the actual glass digitiser screen, but didn’t quite get there… hope this is of some help.. although it’s 2021 now and you’ve probably gone and bought a new one lol ;) I love my tablet (well, my 4yr-old does) but I stood on it and I happened to have a digitiser on hand.

I need a screen replacement guid like this one but for the Nextbook Ares 8 not 8a

Isaac De La Cruz -

My replacement screen is listed for this model but it's just glass and a connector. No frame like one the came off tablet (no place for screw or to connect back cover) did I get wrong screen? Listing had it as the nx785qc8g.
