ID: 65673

Description: This procedure is relatively straight forward....

Steps:

  1. Be sure to shut power to the tablet off and remove any external power source before beginning this step.
  2. Insert one of the blue plastic opening tools between the glass display and the edge of the tablet's outer shell to break the seal around the display. It doesn't matter where you start the process, but once you form a gap, continue opening the gap around the edge of the device.
  3. The display assembly and back casing should gently come apart after a gap is formed around the perimeter.
  4. This step requires quite a bit of force to open the tablet. Don't be shy about it. Once you do make a gap, be careful not to pinch your fingers!

  13. With one hand on each side of the tablet simply turn the device on edge with one hand and tilt it over until the battery falls into your other hand.
  14. If for some reason the battery does not come out, double check to ensure you have removed and unattached all of the 6 screws and 2 ribbon cables.
