Step 1
– Pop that plastic opening tool into the SD card slot or charging port.
– Give it a little upward wiggle until you see a gap between the tablet and the back cover. Keep at it, you’re doing great!
Step 2
The first time is always a bit tricky to pry off the back cover from the tablet, but you’ve got this!
The clips are spaced about 5 cm apart. As you work your way around the device, you’ll hear the clips making a satisfying ‘pop’ as they come loose.
– Work your way around the device by gliding the plastic opening tool along the edges.
Step 3
Handle the internal components of the tablet with extra care!
– Take off the back cover after you’ve successfully disconnected all the links. You’ve got this!
Step 4
Warning : Ribbon cables are connected with ZIF connectors (Zero Insertion Force): it requires a special sequence with rotation of a plastic lever to release the pressure on contacts. Then ribbon cable can be extracted without any damage.
– Once you’ve got the back cover off, grab a pair of tweezers and gently pop off those two (T807) ribbons. You got this!
