Description: A camera lens on any device is naturally...
Steps:
- First, remove the stylus from your tablet.
- Set the tablet so the buttons, microSD, and stylus port are facing you.
- Open the microSD slot.
- Using the flat end of the spudger tool, carefully pry open the case starting from the microSD slot, slowly sliding the spudger along the inside edge of the case.
- You may want to put on your anti-static wrist strap at this point as the motherboard will be vulnerable to physical touch and electrostatic shock after the casing is removed.
- As you remove your case, be aware of small clips along the edges.
- Finally, set the old casing aside.
- Orient your tablet so that the top of the tablet is furthest away from you.
- Locate the top speaker, a black semi-rectangular piece on the top right side of the tablet.
- Remove the two 3.0 mm Phillips #00 screws securing the speaker.
- Gently pry the speaker up with the flat end of a spudger.
- Use a plastic opening tool to peel up the tape covering the speaker wire.
- Next, with a gentle but firm grip, pull the audio input ribbon with the precision tweezers.
- Finally, unplug the power source from your speaker using the precision tweezers.
- Make sure you are using your anti-static wrist strap.
- Having removed the speaker, locate the front-facing camera resting just underneath the speaker.
- The rear-facing camera is on the left side of the tablet and it aligns with the camera hole on the back casing of your tablet.
- Gently unplug each camera using the precision tweezers.
