Step 4

• The battery is glued to the rear case by very strong adhesive.
• Heat, adhesive removal fluid, and much prying, the battery is removed.

Step 5

• The bracket over the speaker and button/headphone jack cable has two different kinds of screws, Torx and Phillips, making removal obnoxious.

• SIM tray can be removed while the device is sealed, obviously.

Step 6

• The final components out of the rear case are fairly modular:
• SIM reader and vibrator assembly
• Headphone jack and button cable assembly
• Front and rear facing cameras
• Motherboard, unfortunately has a soldered-on charging port. That means a more expensive repair for a common failure point.

Does the display assembly have any glue?

Where does one start from to pry open the screen assembly and is the MediaPad m3 similar to this?

Will be much obliged if you could throw some light on it.

Gute Anleitung! Habe bereits bei dem Gerät die USB Buchse erneuert - manuell entlötet und eine neue Buchse eingelötet. Sehr angenehm zu reparieren!

Great instruction manual! I replaced a broken USB port by handsoldering! Very nice to repair!
