Prerequisite Only
This guide is only intended to be used as a prerequisite for other guides. It's incomplete by itself.

Introduction

Prerequisite only guide for unplugging the battery.

What you need

    • Carefully insert your metal pry tool between the back cover and the frame at an angle as shown.

    • Give the tool a twist to the left to start separating the clips.

    • Work your way to the corner, prying and twisting to pop the clips as you go.

    • Insert an opening pick to make sure the clips don't close down again as you round the corner and start working on the right side of the tablet.

    • Continue as before, prying and twisting to release the catches.

    • Continue along the top edge as before

    • When you get to the corner, be careful not to insert the tool in the space below the power on symbol. There is a delicate clip there that is easy to break if you're prying with the tool. (Yes, I'm speaking from experience. Don't be me.)

    • Back to the bottom side again, this little part by itself is a little finicky to get unclipped, just follow the same procedure as with the first one.

    • And finally the home stretch between the keyboard/power connector and the right hand guide pin, back to where you started.
