Steps:

1. To soften the adhesive holding the tablet together, heat up the edges of the glass panel using a heated iOpener on the edge of the device. Alternatively you can use a heat gun to loosen the adhesive.
2. Leave the iOpener on edge for two minutes.
3. Be careful not to burn yourself while handling the hot iOpener. For more information on the iOpener, use the iOpener Instructions Guide.

4. Place a suction cup near edge that you heated up with the iOpener.
5. Press down on the suction cup to create a seal, and pull up with force to create a separation between the display and the midframe.
6. Use an opening tool to split apart the glass panel from the midframe.
7. Be careful to not break the glass when prying from the frame.

8. As you continue along the edge using the opening tool, use a plastic card to keep the glass separate from the midframe.
9. You can also use multiple opening picks instead of a plastic card.

10. Pull off the glass panel using the suction cup.
11. As you remove the glass panel, be careful not to tear the ribbon connecting the motherboard to the display.
12. Carefully disconnect the ribbon cable connecting the display assembly to the motherboard. You can disconnect this ribbon from either end.

13. Repeat steps 3 through 7 to remove the rear glass panel on the opposite side of the device.
