Ready to tackle your device? This guide walks you through popping off the back cover and carefully removing the motherboard to get direct access to the A/V port. Step-by-step, you’ll master the art of replacing that tricky little port like a pro!
Step 1
If you’ve already peeled back the seal on that little screw, you’re ready to move on to the next step!
Since this screw is on the smaller side, grabbing it with a pair of tweezers might make things a bit easier.
– Get your tablet ready for surgery by placing it face down on a soft, stable surface – think of it like a comfy pillow for your device.
– Time to get up close and personal with that screw in the back. Use a Metal Spudger to carefully scrape off the seal, and don’t worry if it takes a little elbow grease.
– Grab your trusty Phillips #000 Screwdriver and remove the M1.4 × 2.5 screw. You’re one step closer to fixing your tablet!

Step 4
The cable linking your screen to the motherboard is snugly in place, so you might need to channel your inner strength to gently disconnect it.
– Time to unscrew the M1.4 × 2.5 screw that’s keeping the battery lead cozy with the battery. Grab your trusty Phillips #000 screwdriver and make it happen!
– Now, with your tweezers in hand, gently nudge that battery lead aside so it doesn’t get in the way of the motherboard’s grand performance.
– Using your tweezers again, carefully disconnect the strip that’s linking the screen to the motherboard. Let’s keep things flowing smoothly!

Step 5
Hey there! Watch out for those tiny tabs—they can get a bit cranky if you pry the motherboard up too hard.
Those button tabs are glued to the motherboard with a sneaky little adhesive strip. Be gentle when you remove the motherboard to keep those wires safe and sound.
– Let’s get that motherboard out! Carefully lift the top edge and gently pull it outward to release it from the small tabs that are holding it in place.
Step 6
– Now, just retrace your steps and put everything back together, it’s basically the reverse of the teardown!
– If you hit any snags along the way, don’t worry – you can always schedule a repair for expert help.
