Once you’ve popped off the back case and taken out the battery, you’ll find that the motherboard slides out of the Miix 2 with ease. It’s almost like it was waiting for you to give it a little nudge. No sweat!
Step 1
Give it a good nudge, but be gentle! You want to avoid any mishaps with the clasps or the delicate internals inside. You’ve got this!
– Pop off the back cover of your tablet like a pro—grab a nylon or metal spudger and slip it into the tiny gap between the screen and rear cover near the volume button. Glide the tool smoothly around the edge of the tablet to unhook those internal clasps, and voilà!
