Thanks for this guide. It was really helpful. I did not need to remove the silver siding to replace the battery. Is this step optional?

I am glad this was useful mrbaker1917!! Yes, removing the silver sliding is optional but useful if you are trying to replace anything else on your tablet.

AT&T told us to buy a new tablet; couldn’t get batteries anymore. Usual no-nothing big box store employees selling on commission…….sheeesh!

You’re the hero today!
