    • Ensure that the device is completely powered down before beginning to take it apart

    • Use a heat gun to melt the adhesive that holds the screen to the device

    • Move the heat gun around the edge of the screen for approximately 1 minute, or until the screen can be lifted off in the next step.

    • Make sure not to heat the screen for too long because too much can damage other components inside the tablet.

    • Use a suction cup to assist in lifting the screen while prying around its edges with a plastic spudger.

    • If necessary use a metal spudger to pry the screen up, taking care not to scratch the device.

    • Be careful not to pull the screen too far off. It will still be attached to the device by a cable for the front facing camera and the wide display data cable.

    • Reattaching the screen will require adhesive to ensure that it stays in place.
