Einleitung

The battery is an essential power source for portability. Eventually, all batteries need to be replaced. Be mindful to disconnect the battery before replacing any components because the battery may have a residual charge which could injure you. The entire process is moderately difficult and will take you approximately 15 minutes to complete.

Werkzeuge

Schritt 1

If you see any leakage coming from the tablet do not open the back cover!
Ensure you do not pry around the buttons. This could result in damage and render them inoperable.
With the tip of the thin metal spudger in place, use a prying motion to work the spudger down the side to the corner of the device.

Schritt 2

Continue working the spudger downward and pry with the spudger until the bottom left-hand corner of the tablet is reached.

Schritt 3

Along the bottom of the tablet, keep using a working and prying motion with the spudger to loosen the cover.

Schritt 4

Continue prying motion until the bottom right-hand corner of the tablet is reached.

Schritt 5

Work the spudger to the upper left-hand corner of the tablet.

Schritt 6

Be careful once you get to the top of the tablet with the spudger so as not to damage the headphone jack and other ports.
When prying along the top of the tablet, try to keep the spudger between 70 to 85 degrees (almost perpendicular) to the tablet screen.
Continue working the spudger around the tablet until the cover of the device comes off

Schritt 7

Separate from the cover from the tablet.

Schritt 8

Locate and carefully remove the yellow cellophane tape from the red and black speaker wires that connect the speaker to the edge of the motherboard.

Schritt 9

Locate and carefully remove the yellow cellophane tape with tweezers from the battery connector and black and red speaker wires on the edge of the motherboard.

Schritt 10

Using small pliers, carefully disconnect the male battery connector from the motherboard.
If you are only replacing the front camera, skip to step 17 in the camera replacement guide and continue.

Schritt 11

If the battery is leaking or bulging, stop and get away from it!
Carefully remove the gray square pad glued to both the white ribbon cable and the battery by pulling slowly.

Schritt 12

Locate the white ribbon cable Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) connector between the battery and the motherboard, and peel the yellow cellophane tape off the connector.

Schritt 13

Flip up the gray retainer clip on the white ribbon cable ZIF connector on the motherboard with your fingernail. If you do not have fingernails long enough, carefully use a black plastic spudger.
