Tutorial: Step by step

Step 1 Opening

Before starting make sure the tablet is off.

Remove the back cover by prying it with the plastic prong.

Step 2

Disconnect the flex cables from the interconnection, by operating the tabs of the connectors and gently pulling the cables.

Step 3

Remove the Phillips screws that hold the battery.

Step 4 Battery

Disconnect and remove the battery. It is not really necessary to remove the battery from the equipment to remove the touch screen, but in this way we make sure that when heating the screen to soften the glue we do not damage the battery.

Step 5 Hot Glass

We will use a high thermal retention blanket (HOT GLASS) to heat the glass.

Insert the HOT GLASS in the microwave for the time specified in the instructions.

To heat it evenly, it is necessary to interrupt the microwave every 30 seconds to distribute heat throughout the HOT GLASS with your hands.

Apply heat to the edges of the screen for a couple of minutes.

Step 6

Insert the tip of the prong between the glass and the chassis of the tablet, going around the contour and detaching the adhesive.

Avoid the lower right corner, where the flex cable is located. I could cut it with the pick.

Step 7 Tecla 'Home'.

Finally remove the "Home" key from the hollow of the touch screen.
