Polaroid P902 LCD and Digitizer Replacement

The most important part of any repair is the tools used. Here's what I brought to this repair. Xool 58 in 1 Precision Screwdriver Set, DREMINOVA Heat soldering Mat Large Pad, and Xool 10pc EDS Anti-Static tweezers. I also always wear gloves when preforming repairs, my preferred gloves are Grease Monkey Disposable Nitrile Gloves.

First remove the two screws circled in the first picture with a PH00 bit.

After the screws have been removed take a plastic spudger and use it to lift the LCD from the backing

You will have to use some force don't be scared of it.

Next using the flat end of a plastic spudger release the clips holding the ribbon circled in the first picture.

Next switching to a PH000bit remove the 4 screws circled in the first picture holding the motherboard down.

Now remove the four screw circled in the second picture along with their plastic components.

Flip the tablet over gently, then applying slight pressure on the left hand side lift the digitizer from the LCD

Now go around the edges of the metal and release the metal tabs holding the LCD in place

On the left side of the LCD screen after removing the top metal plate you will see a strip of adhesive, remove it and your almost done

Now lift the LCD straight up and out of the bottom casing and you're halfway through the repair :D

Now insert the new LCD and reverse the steps. Pat yourself on the back o grab some snacks and check out your like new tablet.
