Warning: When using this guide, follow all the safety warnings and instructions related to soldering to avoid injury.
What you need
Step 1
Back Case
- Slightly pry open one corner of the device by using your finger nail to separate the screen from the back case.
- Use an opening tool to carefully detach the back case from the tablet. Start by inserting the tool where your fingernail opened a gap, and work around all four sides of the device.
- There will be a slight click noise as you free each tab.
- Once the case is completely free, carefully lift it and place it face up on the workstation, being cautious not to damage the speaker wires connecting the two halves.

Step 3
Speakers
- Turn on your soldering iron and allow it to heat up. Once it is hot, press the tip of the iron to the both of the solder points that attach the wires to the motherboard until the solder is melted.
- Once the solder is melted, use tweezers to remove the wires from the motherboard.
- The solder and iron will be extremely hot. You can use tweezers to grab the wire to avoid burning your fingers from accidental contact with the iron.
