Power down your tablet completely before diving in. Safety first, always!

– Warm up your trusty iOpener for about 30 seconds and then gently lay it on all four corners of the screen. If you’ve got a heat gun handy, feel free to use that too!

Step 2

Keep that metal spudger clear of those buttons, or you might just give your device a little unwanted love tap!

– Now that the glue has melted, grab that trusty metal spudger and gently pry open all sides of the tablet. You’ve got this!

– When you’re working near the home and touch screen buttons, a suction cup will be your best friend. Just a little lift and you’re on your way!

Step 3

Hey there! There’s a ribbon cable in place. Lift that screen gently to avoid any cable mishaps.

– Gently raise the screen with care.

Step 4

Carefully lift the ribbon and take your time, it may be stuck pretty well to the grey frame underneath, so be patient and don’t be discouraged if it takes a little effort to remove the tape.

– Gently detach the ribbon cable with the trusty Metal Spudger. You’ve got this!

Step 5

– Bust out your PH000 Phillips screwdriver and zap out all seventeen 3 mm screws!

Step 6

Check out the third picture—see that Sim Card part clinging to the frame and back cover? As you lift the frame, it’ll pop off. Totally normal, no worries!

– Gently lift the black frame with the two Metal Spudgers as shown.

Step 7

– Once you’ve got it lifted, just flip that grey frame over like it’s showing off.

– This little piece is the link to the sim card—treat it with care!

– When it’s time to put things back together, don’t forget to click this piece back in place. Easy peasy!

Step 8

– Now it’s time to locate the rear-facing camera on the frame – it’s an important part of your device, and we’re about to get up close and personal with it!
