    • To begin, locate the two 4.9mm Phillips #00 screws at the top corners of the case and remove them.

    • Squeeze the plastic opening tool in between the seam where the screen joins the plastic case.

    • Begin separating the bottom of the case from the screen by carefully going around the whole edge of the case and slowly prying it apart.

    • Be careful when separating the lids because the wires holding the speaker to the motherboard are very short.

    • Carefully place the bottom lid next to the screen case. The power/speaker buttons should be visible at the corner of the lid. Remove the buttons with the tweezers.

    • Begin removing the black tape covering the motherboard inside the tablet.

    • You will need to desolder the two contact points that connect the battery to the mother board.

    • Make sure to allow ample time (at least 5-8 minutes or more) for the soldering iron to heat up. Otherwise, the solder won't melt.

    • Touch the hot iron to the contact points and gently pull on the wires to loosen them from the solder. They should release easily.

    • Make sure not to touch the contact points after desoldering them because they will remain very hot for a short while afterwards.

    • Using the black nylon spudger, get underneath the battery and begin prying it loose from the rest of the tablet.

    • The tape holding the battery to the tablet has a very strong hold so be prepared for resistance.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
