Dell Venue 11 Pro HDMI Port Replacement

Turn your device over to the backside. On the notch at the bottom portion of the tablet, use your fingers to lift up the back cover.

Below the battery pack, there are two lock mechanisms. Push EACH lock to the LEFT until it makes a click noise. Lift the battery from the bottom up and remove.

Use your Philips #000 screwdriver to unscrew the fourteen 2.5 mm screws marked on the tablet.

Slide the cover on the two middle ribbon cables out to remove it. It should uncover the orange cable connectors.

To disconnect the left ribbon cable from the motherboard, place the flat end of your spudger under the edge of the pop connector and pry the connector straight up.

The right ribbon cable has a ZIF connector. Use the flat end of your spudger to lift up the small locking flap, then pull out the cable.

There are adhesive strips between the device and the two ribbon cables we disconnected. Pull each cable away from the device just enough to break the adhesive bonds.

Use your pin punch driver to push into the hole on the sim card, then pull out the sim tray.

Insert your plastic opening tool between the screen and frame, and run the tool around the edges to separate the frame from the tablet.

Identify the location of the HDMI Port, which will be in the left bottom part of the tablet.

Wedge the tip of the plastic spudger in between the ZIF connector lock and flip up the lock. Pull the ribbon cable out.

Use your fingers to lift up and take out the mini HDMI board.
