Is your screen cracked or damaged? Replacing your screen might help solve these issues.

2. Step 2
  With a plastic opening tool, pry open the bottom left corner of the screen.
  
  The screen is tightly attached to the tablet, so you may have to use a metal spudger to pry it open if the plastic spudger does not do the task.

7. Step 6
  Once you have pried open all the corners of the tablet, carefully open the screen from the right side of the tablet.
  
  Do not try and open the screen from the left side of the tablet, because the screen is attached on the left side of the tablet; doing this can damage the tablet.
