If your volume control buttons are not working properly, it may be time to replace them. This guide will show you how to replace the volume control buttons.

What you need

1. Step 1 Back Panel
  With the tablet face down, pull the SD card slot cover out.
  
  Using a Phillips #000 screwdriver, remove the 3mm screw located in the SD card slot.

2. 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.

  Remove the back panel from the screen.
