Unclip the three ribbon cables from the motherboard by lifting up on their latches (the black portions that the cables feed into) and gently pulling the cables.
The process is the same for all three ribbon wires.
Do not forcefully try to remove the cables. The latch may not be lifted up all the way, and using force can separate the cable from its connector, which can damage important components of the tablet.

手順4

To remove the battery, gently pry underneath it and around the edges with your spudger. This will pull it off of the adhesive keeping it on the case.
The battery will slightly deform while trying to remove it. This is normal, though try to limit the amount of deformation.
DO NOT puncture the battery as this may cause fire or explosion.

手順6

Remove the three 4 mm Phillip's #00 screws from the motherboard. Then carefully lift off the motherboard from the screen.

手順7

To remove the LCD from the screen casing, gently pry it out of the clips that are holding it in place.
If possible, use a plastic spudger. However, since the clips are tight, a metal spudger may be necessary.
Use of playing cards or guitar picks help to keep the clips from reattaching themselves to the device.
Focus on one half of the LCD, as the other half will come out easily when the first half comes loose.
Be careful not to damage the clips or LCD when prying.

手順8

With a heat gun, heat along the border of the screen and case to weaken the glue.
Do not leave the heat gun pointed in one spot for long. This may warp or melt the plastic and make reassembly more difficult.

編集

手順9

Slide a spudger around the edge of the screen. This will disconnect the black edge from the frame.
A plastic opening tool may help insert the spudger between the frame and the screen.
You may need to reheat sections of the border if sliding the spudger becomes difficult.

編集

手順10

Starting from one end, use a plastic opening tool to lift the frame away from the screen.
As before, you may need to reheat sections to weaken the glue.
