Ready to swap out the Miix 2’s rear camera? Follow these steps to pop out the old one and make room for a shiny new replacement—no sweat.
Step 1
Now it’s time to apply some elbow grease – use a decent amount of force, but be gentle enough to avoid damaging those pesky clasps or the internal goodies.
– Pop off the back cover by gently slipping a nylon or metal spudger into the tiny gap near the volume button. Glide the tool along the edge to unclip the back—think of it like unzipping a jacket, but for your tablet.

Step 2
– Grab your Phillips #0 screwdriver and remove the six 3mm screws around the battery dock. Keep track of those screws—they love to roll away!
Step 3
– Time to get that battery connector out of its cozy socket on the motherboard. Use a plastic spudger to gently push each side of the connector back and forth a few times, easing it out of its home.

Flaps and connectors come in a variety of colors, so don’t be surprised if you get a little unexpected flair in your repair.
– Time to tackle those 5 ribbon cables! Use the tip of your spudger to gently flip up each retaining flap—lift from the hinge side, not the connector. Once the flap is up, slide the cable out nice and easy.
