Introduction

What you need

Step 1

              Back Cover

To begin, turn off the power to the device and remove the screen from the keyboard.
Open the 2-in-1, and hold the screen.
Press the silver button at the top of the keyboard.
When the screen lifts up, gently lift the screen away from the keyboard.

Step 2

You may use your fingers, or a spudger. Be careful not to break your cover OR your fingernail. Removing the cover requires good judgement.
The goal is to separate the black from the silver. Start in a corner, or a flat edge – whichever works best for you. Remember to not use too much force.
Once you start the initial separation, keep going until you free one edge. The goal now is to free three edges of the rectangle.
If your progress stops on one side of the rectangle, go to the other side and try there.

Gently pull the back cover from the screen assembly.
Keep the plastic cover close. It’s great for holding screws!
When putting the cover back on, press firmly around to outside edge with the screen facing down on a flat, debris-free surface.

Step 5

The order in which you remove these cables is not particularly important.
1 - Gently lift up the black flap and remove the keyboard port ribbon cable.
2 - Remove tape and gently pry up cameras. These are held on with an adhesive.
3 - Lift up tape. Gently lift up black tab and remove the ribbon cable that leads to the buttons.
4 - Gently lift away tape and remove speaker connector. Best to use a back and forth motion while gently pulling, or separate black from white with a flat screwdriver.
5 - Gently lift black tab and remove cable. This ribbon cable leads to the screen.
6 - You will need to carefully free one side of the silver foam that is under the tape by the cameras. This is shown in the second picture.
