    • Carefully slide the heavy duty opening tool between the gap on the side of the device with no buttons.

    • Do not insert the opening tool too far into the tablet as this can damage connectors close to edges of the cover.

    • The angled tip of the opening tool can be wedged into the device by pressing on the back of the opening tool with the thumb. Move the opening tool in a sliding motion to ensure all tabs separate.

    • Corner tabs may require a more forceful prying tool. If needed, carefully insert the metal prying tool into corners to separate the tabs.

    • Look into the tablet for loose connectors.

    • There are three loose connectors: one for the screen, one for the digitizer, and one for the motherboard. They are held in place by the pressure of the backing and screen assemblies.

    • Flip the backing from the button-less side over, being careful not to separate the ribbon connector from the display screen.
