Introduction

    • By sliding the plastic opening tool around the rim of the device, carefully continue to pry apart the screen and back cover.

    • Try to separate evenly on all sides until the screen detaches from the device backing completely.

    • If this is the first time removing the back cover, it will be rather difficult to separate it from the tablet.
