With the tablet face down, pull the SD card slot cover out.
-
Using a Phillips #000 screwdriver, remove the 3mm screw located in the SD card slot.
-
-
-
Insert a plastic opening tool in the small crevasse between the screen and the back panel.
-
Pry the screen away from the back panel.
-
Repeat this on each edge of the device.
My old G-Pad had its screen separated from the rest of the front part and the back panel, so if you have just a slim glass come off, do not pull that off. Use a flat spudger to loosen those hooks and help the rest of the front part come out with the screen attached.

-
-
After using the plastic opening tools, pry the device open with your hands.
-
Remove the back panel from the screen.

Remove the four 3 mm Phillips #000 screws that are attached to the speaker.
On the VK810 Model you have to watch out for the antenna wire that runs along and is attached to the speaker by the means of a metal wire clip.
What I would recommend is detaching the antenna wire from the top of the device then gently remove it from the clip.
Then remove the speaker.
On a side note does anyone know where to buy the little ant wire that runs across the speaker?
-
-
-
Use your fingers to remove the speaker.
-
-
-
Remove the 3mm Phillips #000 screws from the corners of the battery.
-
-
-
Using a spudger or a plastic opening tool, disconnect the ribbon cable from the right side of the device.
-
-
-
Using the Phillips #000 screwdriver, remove the two 3mm screws located at the bottom of the ribbon cable.
-
Remove the ribbon cable from the device.
-
-
-
Unhook the battery from the top of the device.
Watch out: I had to remove the mainboard first, before being able to lift the battery with its attached hook on top.
The screen on my device separated from the main board which is still in the back of the device. I can’t get to the under side to remove the speakers and battery.

Every teardown I can find on this tablet has that darn screw in the sd card slot, but mine does not!! Does ANYBODY have teardown for mine? I can send pics, it's Verizon Gpad 8.3 LTE, slot holds sd and sim but NO screw. Son spilled water on it so screen is all dark and haptic stays on, I'd like to attempt the rice trick if I can open it.
The other models have a sponge adhesive on the back of the battery.
Completely disregard the first screw.
Wesley - Me too. I have no idea why Android released two different models with the same freaking model name. I thought they had more common sense than that. If anyone has the teardown for the new model, holler.
Same here. No screw
sorry this teardown is not for the 8.3
I have the VK810, can't find instructions anywhere.
I also have no screw, but I got it open by starting on the right side and fitting a flat spudger between the frame and the screen and pressing the tool deeper towards the back. This unlocks the snap. There are 5 of these plastic snaps built into the body of the frame on the long sides and a few along the top and bottom. Once I got the right side slightly separated, I worked on the top, then the bottom (used 2 spudgers, one kept the gap open on the side while I worked the top and bottom), then continued inserting the tool along the left side until all the lock tabs were released. The internals look the same as these pics once I got it open. I need to replace the charger plug and will swap the battery as well while I'm at it.
so, where can I get a replacement battery from?
This is not the vk810. Its the v500. It is wifi only
There is a difference that was notice in my comparison between this Guide and the LG G Pad X 8.3 Guide. This guide has only three (3) screws holding the battery and much more removal of parts than the X 8.3. The X 8.3 also has four (4) screws holding it in. Is the X 8.3 shown on this site the same as the one used by Verizon ? I do Not know, if there is a difference, currently.
This looks to be a helpful Guide, but there is no help in WHERE to purchase a battery and if there could be a different battery with higher capacity and a longer life as a choice. As a Consumer, this type of information would be helpful. Can anyone assist ?
