Steps: 13 Steps
Step 1
– Give that silver release button at the base of your tablet a friendly press, and voilà—you’re ready to gently coax the screen away from the keyboard!
Step 2
Be gentle when releasing the clips – forcing them can cause breakage, leading to a loose screen. Open the rear cover with care, taking your time to avoid any damage.
– Grab your metal spudger and carefully slide it into the seam of the rear cover casing. Gently pry it upwards – no need to rush!
– If you’re doing it right, you should feel the satisfying pop as the clips release. Nice job!
– Now, just to make sure you’ve got them all, run the metal opening tool along the edges of the tablet. Give those clips a little extra love to ensure they’re all free and clear.
