Step 1

Step 2
Take it easy with those clips! Forcing them can lead to breaks, making your screen dance around like it’s at a party. Gently coax the rear cover open with care, and you’ll be all set.
– Let’s get started by using a metal spudger to carefully pry open the rear cover casing. Gently insert it into the seam and work your way around until you feel the clips start to release.
– You’re doing great! If everything is going smoothly, you should start to feel the clips releasing as you pry the casing open. Keep going until you’ve got them all.
– Almost there! To make sure all the clips are released, take your metal opening tool and slide it along the four edges of the tablet. This will help you get everything open and ready for the next step. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair
