Entry method is to remove the rear bathtub case, even though that’s not very evident and the seal is extremely tight for opening tools.
The rear case is soft plastic and may be damaged when removed.
Fingerprint sensor and its cable connect the two halves, but there’s some slack so it’s not awful.
The fingerprint sensor and its metal frame are very securely adhered to the rear case. They can be removed, but not without deforming the case.

Step 7

The Huawei MediaPad T2 earns a 6 out of 10 on our repairability scale (10 is the easiest to repair):
Rear case is secured by clips, not glue, and is flexible enough to remove fairly easily.
Non-proprietary Phillips screws used throughout.
Battery is held in place with excessive adhesive. A hole in the midframe means prying the battery out may risk damaging the back of the display.
Charging port is soldered to motherboard, increasing cost of a common repair.
Manufacturer does not provide user-accessible repair documentation.
