    • Be careful when separating the bottom panel from the front casing to avoid breaking the three cables connected to the motherboard (two on each side and one in the rear).

    • There are many clips along the hinge of the case, so it is recommended to work your way along one short side and the two long sides before finishing the last short side.

This usually occurs when you break the lower screen's power ribbon cable connector. It is not a ZIF connector and "unlatching" it will break it causing a loose fit. The shoulder button presses against the ribbon cable causing it to shift in the connector resulting in the speakers popping and the device turning off.

Mike -
