I have followed your guide (LG G Pad 8.3 4G Battery Replacement) but what see when I pry off the screen is not what is on your pic of step 2.

It appears that I have to pry off the back panel to actually see the battery, the speakers and the gold cable.

How can I pry off the back panel?

Thanks,

Ed
