Introduction

Most mobile devices (including tablets) use built-in batteries to keep their electronic devices running. Make sure the device is turned off and not plugged in to any external power source prior to beginning this guide. Be careful when opening up the device; the display is attached to the rest of the tablet with a ribbon cable. Don’t bend the batteries excessively while completing the last step. Bending the batteries can possibly lead to overheating and may cause a fire. Never use metal prying tools to remove a battery.

What you need

Step 1

              Display Assembly
  • Place an iFixit opening tool in the crease where the display assembly and back of the device meet.
  • Slide the tool firmly through the crease on one side of the device, twisting as you go to create separation.
  • When you reach the corner, carefully pry the two halves of the device apart.
  • There are small clips along the edges that need to stay intact in order to properly reassemble the device. Be very gentle when prying so as not to break the clips.
  • Repeat for the remaining three sides and corners.
