Nextbook 8 Screen Replacement

Step 1 Battery



• Use the plastic opening tool to remove the back cover. Carefully slide the tool between the front glass and back cover.
• Slide the tool along the edge to work the back cover off.
• It helps to have an extra tool to stick in the gap and keep the back cover separated from the glass as you slide the other tool.
Step 2



• Remove the tape covering the motherboard.
• Remove the silver tape holding the white ribbon cables to the battery.
Step 3
• Use a spudger to carefully disconnect the battery connector from the motherboard.
• When working with electronics, it's important to choose a tool that's ESD-safe to avoid accidental damage to the device. The regular black nylon spudger or a plastic opening tool should be used whenever possible.
Step 4
• Use a spudger to lift up the black bar on the two ZIF connectors located above the battery.
• Pull the ribbon cables out of the connectors with tweezers or two fingers.
Step 5
• Using the flat end of a spudger, carefully work the spudger under the battery, lifting it off of the device.
• The battery is very malleable, so do not try to pull it off all at once.
Step 6 Screen
• Remove the silver and gold sticker at the bottom of the device.
• Hold the brown circuit board down with your finger while you remove the sticker
Step 7
• Use a spudger to lift up the black tabs on the three ZIF connectors.
• Use ESD safe tweezers to pull the ribbon cables out of the three connectors.
Step 8
• Remove the 5 black screws on the motherboard.
• Carefully lift the motherboard off of the device and remove.
Step 9
• Remove the two screws that hold the brackets in place.
• Remove the two silver brackets that hold the screen in place.
Step 10
• Remove the one silver screw on the small green circuit board at the bottom of the device.
• Set aside the small circuit board for now.
Step 11
• Remove the two silver screws from the bottom of the device.
Step 12
• With the device face down, use a spudger to lift the screen off of the glass from the right side.
