Begin by separating the back panel from the screen glass assembly using the plastic opening tool.
Insert the plastic opening tool between the edge of the glass screen and the metal frame around the device.

Continue around the entire device until the back panel is completely separated from the screen.

Gently pull up on the plastic tab that has red, blue and black wires that connects the battery to the motherboard.

Remove all the clips that are attached to the motherboard using your fingers or a nylon spudger.

There are four Phillips head screws (2.5mm) that need to be removed:
Two on the charging port, which is the small metallic piece at the bottom of the device.
There is one screw that is covered by a small green tape. The tape must be peeled off before the screw under can be removed.
The last screw is found on a speaker at the bottom right of the device. Once the screw is removed, the speaker must be removed as well.

There is a small wire that connects the motherboard to the bottom right corner.
Gently pull the end of the wire that attaches the motherboard to the device until the wire is disconnected.
After the cord is disconnected, the motherboard can be removed from the tablet by simply lifting it from the device.
