Archos 101 G9 Flash Memory Replacement

Introduction

Go to step 1 ↓

Use this guide to replace the flash memory in your Archos 101 G9 tablet.

The Archos 101 G9 tablet flash memory, also known as flash storage, is a storage unit for the tablet. Issues with a full memory can lead to a non-functioning device. Before replacing the flash memory, try to perform a factory reset on your device to see if that can possibly help; follow this guide for instructions. If that does not work and your flash memory is still the main problem, then use this guide to replace your flash memory. Before starting, make sure to completely power off your tablet and disconnect the tablet from any external power source.

What you need

Tools

    1. Archos 101 G9 Flash Memory Replacement, Display Assembly: step 1, image 1 of 1

      • 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.

      • Separate the halves of the device.

      • Ensure that you separate from the top and you keep the bottoms of both pieces near each other so as not to damage the ribbon cables that connect the halves.
