The model I worked on has two flat black bands running across the battery from one side to the other. They appear to be wiring connecting each side of the electronics because they are connected to sockets on both sides. Didn’t want to proceed until I have more info. I have a jpg of the setup if that would help anyone (or would help me).

Is this identical to the 8 A1 850? Not finding any instructions or videos on that particular model. I can’t see a notch or anything to use as a starting point to open the tablet. Where and how do you start to open it?
