Step 2

• Insert a plastic opening tool in the small crevasse between the screen and the back panel.
• Pry the screen away from the back panel.
• Repeat this on each edge of the device.
• We found it helpful to leave multiple plastic opening tools wedged in the crevasse to prevent it from closing.
• This requires heavy force. The back of the device is attached with an adhesive. If the back panel is too hard to remove, use the iOpener.

Every teardown I can find on this tablet has that darn screw in the sd card slot, but mine does not!! Does ANYBODY have teardown for mine? I can send pics, it’s Verizon Gpad 8.3 LTE, slot holds sd and sim but NO screw. Son spilled water on it so screen is all dark and haptic stays on, I’d like to attempt the rice trick if I can open it.

The other models have a sponge adhesive on the back of the battery.

Completely disregard the first screw.

Wesley - Me too. I have no idea why Android released two different models with the same freaking model name. I thought they had more common sense than that. If anyone has the teardown for the new model, holler.
