    • Use a small plastic opening tool to separate the colored front cover from the white rear cover of the device.

    • With one hand on the front cover and one hand on the rear cover, start from the bottom of the device and pull the pieces apart.

    • Once only the top edge remains connected, pull the rear cover backwards away from the front cover and upwards towards the top of the device. This should release the last remaining tabs holding the pieces front and rear cover together.

    • The most stubborn tabs holding the front and rear together are along the top edge of the tablet around the game cartridge slot. This will most likely be the last area that separates, and it may require a moderate amount of force.
