    • Use the plastic opening tool to pry the back off the tablet. Work your way around the edges. Once you have one side open you can slowly unsnap the rest of the case and use the tool as needed.

    • Go slowly when you pry the back off to ensure you do not crack the case or damage the screen.

    • Do not attempt to fully remove the battery. It is still connected to the motherboard by two wires.

    • Use a nylon spudger to lift the battery from the right side of the device. Slowly remove the adhesive below the battery.

    • To avoid damage to device and battery, do not attempt to remove the battery until adhesive is completely detached.
