      • Using tweezers, gently pull the battery connector towards the battery to remove it from the System Board.

      • Pull the blue tabs (Not Shown) out from the tablet at an angle to remove the tape underneath the Battery.

      • If you broke both tabs, scrape the tape and Battery off.

      • Scraping off the Battery will damage it. If you are replacing another part, leave the Battery on the display panel.

      • Disconnect the battery from the motherboard, but leave the battery on the display panel (unless you have already taken it off).

      • Disconnect the motherboard from the rear-facing camera, the front-facing camera, the antenna, the power button board, the screen, and the display panel using your spudger.

      • The cable connected to the display is adhered to the panel, so be careful when removing the cable (like most things here).

      • If you are inexperienced with disconnecting everything, "Recognizing and Disconnecting Cable Connectors" is a helpful ifixit guide.

      • Once unscrewed, the motherboard separates from the rest of the device.

      • The speaker is soldered to the motherboard, but it comes off easily.

      • Forced separation may result in a damaged motherboard and/or personal injury.
