Introduction

What you need

Step 1

              Rear Case               

• To remove the back panel of the device, start by attempting to fit the plastic opening tool in the crease between the screen and the back panel of the tablet.
• Try opening picks if the case is not flexing enough, or if it is already cracked to prevent further damage.
• You can use your hands to push against the corners of the device to attempt to make the gap larger for your plastic opening tool to fit in.
• If you are replacing your screen because it is damaged, it may be useful to pick away at some of the glass to expose the clips in the edges of the plastic.
• Insert the corners of your plastic opening tool into the slots that are on the very outside edge of your device to start disconnecting the panel.
• On some models, there is a vertical strip of adhesive between the battery and the back cover on the left side of the Verizon logo. Be careful not to damage the battery when separating the adhesive!

How easy is it to replace the USB-C connector from the motherboard?

I have a broken USB-C connector on my LG G Pad 10.1 Motherboard. What is necessary to change this connector? I have ordered a new USB-C connector without knowing how to connect with this LG Motherboard. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You.

Were you able to replace just the port? Im having the same issue myself with just the port damaged and im not trying to replace the entire motherboard.

My LG 10.1 tablet was dropped in water and won’t accept a charge. When I connect the charger I can see the LG 10.1 welcome screen and then it has a lightning bolt, but then it turns solid blue then off. But the Dat prior, it only had a ? Mark inside of a circle and an error message saying that the temperature was not right. Now that u let it dry out more it is not allowing me to charge it and I really need to access it for my Gmail account. I’m so stressed ?. Can you offer any advice? Thanks in advance…
