Step 6

Rotate the top of the device towards you so that the audio jack appears on the right side of the device.
The audio jack will have a small symbol of headphones next to a small 3.5mm diameter hole.
Wedge the plastic opening tool between where the front and back case panels meet near the audio jack.

Once the edges are open return to the same starting position next to the audio jack.
During this step, you may crack some parts of the case. Gently pry around the speakers, audio jack and charging cable ports to reduce this damage.

Great directions. Good to know stuff. Where, if I may ask, did you find the replacement battery. Thanks in advance, and, keep on keeping on.

Amy Lathrop - Feb 22, 2016

The inside of my DreamTab looks NOTHING like this. For one, the battery is NOT foil wrapped. Other than that, still nothing like your pictures.

Adam Bright - Aug 12, 2016

There are two different DreamTab models: DMTAB-IN08A and DMTAB-NV08B.

This procedure is using the DMTAB-NV08B.
