Step 1 Rear Case



• Unplug the charger, power down the device, and remove the SD card before beginning.
• Insert an opening pick into the seam between the rear case and the screen assembly.
• Slide the opening pick around the perimeter, prying periodically, until the screen assembly begins to release.
• Insert an opening tool into the gap you created, and continue to pry periodically around the entire perimeter until the screen assembly fully releases.
• Be patient and don't pry too hard in any specific place. Excessive force may cause damage to the device.
