Step 1
The panel is held firmly with adhesive and will need some steady pressure to loosen it up.
– Power down your device completely. Grab a plastic opening tool and start at the edge of the back panel. Gently work your way around the perimeter—steady hands win the game here!
Step 2
– Pop off the rear panel, then grab your trusty plastic opening tool to unclip the frame from the tablet.
– Starting smack dab in the middle of the top edge, slide that plastic opening tool right where the screen meets the frame.
– Gently glide the tool along every single edge of the tablet. Take your time—you’re doing awesome!
Step 3
– Once you’ve popped out the rear panel and the frame, be sure to set them aside gently, away from your device. You’re doing great!
Step 4
ZIF connectors are super sensitive, so handle them with care while you’re taking them out.
You can also use your hand to carefully release those ZIF connectors – it’s easier than you think, and you’ve got this.
– Pop open those ZIF connectors to free up the data cables holding the battery in place. Grab your trusty tweezers and make it happen—precision is key!

The battery casing is delicate—think of it like an eggshell but with way more consequences if cracked. If it tears, the battery’s chemicals could spill out, and that’s definitely not something you want happening.
– Time to set that battery free. Use a plastic opening tool to carefully pry the battery loose – it’s glued to the pad, so be prepared to apply a bit of gentle pressure to get it to come out.
Step 7
– First things first, pop that battery out of your device. Now, let’s find those volume connectors hanging out on the side.
– Grab some tweezers and gently coax those volume connectors out. Once they’re free, set them aside like a pro.
