Einleitung

Replacing the Motherboard is the most complex replacement for the tablet. It utilizes most of the steps from other guides, like battery, front facing, and rear facing camera removals.

  1. JflW6EeJSF5pLUei

    • Before you being the replacement process, make sure the tablet is completely powered off.

    • Gently insert the plastic opening tool between the metal rim and the back plastic casing at the bottom of the tablet and pry the back casing away from the device. Continue to separate the back panel of the device from the front assembly.

    • Right-handed users will probably be more comfortable prying in a clockwise movement, while left-handed users will feel more comfortable doing a counter clockwise movement.

    • When taking off the rear case there will be periodic clicking noises. Do not worry about those noises. They are just the rear case being disconnected.

    • Be careful not to use too much force as the plastic clips can easily be broken.

  2. PFffRrjThTLgyR3Z

    • Place the tablet screen down on a clean surface.

    • Grasp the back panel and lift it from the device.

  3. Rx24j1KLEIXWM2Aj

    • The front facing camera's ribbon cable is located at the top edge of the motherboard, slightly left of center.

    • Slide the flat end of the blue plastic opening tool underneath the connector at the end of the ribbon cable.

  7. 6LP2YYfa5EKNXsVC

    • Slide the flat end of the blue plastic opening tool underneath the rectangular metal connector of the rear facing camera.
