Introduction
The removal of the kickstand does not require the device to be opened up. Removing the kickstand is an external replacement that will require the use of a spudger to open up latches. Removing the kickstand is a simple replacement that should require about 5 minutes to complete.
What you need
-
-
Place the device on a hard flat surface with its screen facing downwards.
-
Rotate the the kickstand so that the handle grip hole is up in the air and not touching the back of the tablet.

Stick the pointy end of the spudger into the circular opening of the leftmost metallic latch.
-
With the spudger still inserted, pry the spudger to the right pushing the latch opening along with it.
-
Once the latch is moved to the right, pull up on the left side of the kickstand, releasing it from the back of the tablet.
-
Repeat the previous steps for the rightmost latch, and then lift the kickstand off the back of the tablet.

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
