Step 1
Don’t forget to power down your device before diving in! It’s a simple step that keeps you safe from any unexpected zaps.
– Flip your device so the screen is facing down. Grab your trusty metal spudger and pop out those tiny rubber dots at each corner—screws will be peeking out at you now.
– Take that same spudger and gently lift the long, skinny rubber strip on the back. Surprise! More screws hiding underneath.

– Next, use the same trusty screwdriver to remove the three screws hidden behind the rubber rectangle. Don’t worry, they won’t come out of the device, so no need to worry about losing them.
– Now it’s time to get a little gentle. Use a plastic opening tool to carefully pry open the back panel of your tablet. Take your time and work your way around the edges until it pops open.
