Make sure your tablet is turned off and not connected to a power source to prevent personal injury.

The volume rocker and power button located on the top edge by the camera are not connected pieces and will become free from the device once the front panel is removed from the back case. They are easily put back in place when reassembling the tablet.

Position the tablet with the top edge by the camera facing down.

Insert the plastic opening tool between the front panel and back case at the upper left hand corner of the tablet.
