Introduction

If you noticed your volume buttons are not controlling your volume, and you have tried other methods of raising and lowering your volume, this guide will show you how to replace the volume buttons control pad.

Tools

Step 1

Before you begin, discharge your tablet battery below 25%. A charged lithium-ion battery can catch fire and/or explode if accidentally punctured.
Power off your tablet before beginning to disassemble.

Step 2

Insert an iFixit opening tool into the gap between the tablet and back panel.
Using a combination of iFixit opening tools and iFixit opening picks, pry the tablet upward around its perimeter to release it from the plastic rear case.
If inserted too far, an opening pick can damage your device. It is helpful to mark the edge with an opening pick, or opening tool at a depth that will not damage the inner contents of the tablet.

Step 3

Disconnect the red and black speaker wires from the tablet.
The front and back of the tablet will be disconnected.

Step 4

The volume button control pad is located in the back panel, on the right side of the tablet.
Push on the outside of the volume button control pad and it will simply loosen and detach.

Conclusion

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