Step 5

  • Unclip the ribbon cables from the motherboard by lifting up on their latches (the black portions that the cables feed into) and gently pulling the cables.
  • Do not use force to try and remove the cables. The latch may not be lifted up all the way, and using force can separate the cable from its connector. This can damage important components of the tablet.

Step 8

              LCD
  • To remove the LCD from the screen casing, gently pry it out of the clips that are holding it in place.
  • Try and focus on one half of the LCD, as the other half will come out easily when the first half comes loose. Be careful not to damage the clips that hold the LCD in place. Also be careful not to damage the LCD housing by prying underneath it. Use plastic cards to keep clips from reattaching themselves to the device to help in its removal.

This was no help at all. What do you do after the final step? Where do I get a replacement LCD screen for this tablet?

I would really love to get a response soon, please. Thank you!
