Verizon Ellipsis Jetpack MHS800L Screen Replacement

Difficulty

Easy

Steps

Time Required

5 - 10 minutes

Introduction

What you can expect from this guide is a step by step process on how to remove the LCD display screen on a Verizon Ellipsis Jetpack MHS800L.

Tools

Step 1

Remove the SIM card, that is located on top of the Jetpack.

Step 2

With the device on its back and the label facing you, remove the rubber screw cover on the top left corner of the device.
Under the rubber circle, remove the 1.25 mm screw using a Phillips #00 Screwdriver.
You may need to peel back a piece of double sided tape covering the screw hole.

Step 3

Remove three 1.25 mm screws.

Are steps 3 and 4 reversed? Where are the 3 screws?

Th3 first left corner has a screw but under the cover on the others is just a black circle

Yes steps 3 and 4 are reversed. After removing the single screen (Philips #000 works better than #00), flip the device over and follow step 4 to remove the top black cover. Then follow step 3 to remove the 3 screw shown.

Step 4

Use a plastic pick at the seams and pry open the case.

Step 5

Once the cover is off, this is what your device will look like.

Step 6

Once you have the case off of your device gently pull your battery away from the device.
Do not attempt to completely remove the battery, as it is still attached to the motherboard by wires.

Step 7

With a pair of Tweezers remove the yellow tape covering the battery wires.

Step 8

After removing the tape you may use the Tweezers to remove the wiring harness from the circuit board.
Do not squeeze the wires to hard you may damage them and cause a short.

oh, good

‘only squeeze hard enough’

it’s a good thing I have a bucket of these upon which to experiment? oh, wait, I don’t.

I just replaced the battery in my JetPack. The connector does NOT slide out towards the wires; instead, use the tweezers to gently grasp all of the wires, and then lift them straight up and away from the unit.

Reattach the new battery by locating the connector over the receptacle, and push the connector straight down into place. Replace the yellow tape, and reassemble the unit. This worked for me! I hope it helps others.
