Step-by-step

1. 1

   Power Off Tablet

   1 min

   Press and hold the power and volume down buttons to bring up the power menu, then select Power Off. Ensure the device is fully shut down before proceeding.

2. 2

   Remove MicroSD Tray

   1 min

   Insert a SIM eject tool into the small hole on the side frame. Push firmly to eject the card tray and set it aside.

3. 3

   Heat Display Perimeter

   3 min

   Use a heat gun or hair dryer to warm all four outer edges of the screen for two to three minutes. Heating softens the tough adhesive holding the large display to the aluminum frame.

4. 4

   Attach Suction Cup

   1 min

   Press a strong suction cup onto the glass near the top edge close to the notch camera. Engage the suction lever to secure a firm grip.

5. 5

   Insert Opening Pick

   2 min

   Pull up gently on the suction cup handle to create a small gap between the glass and frame. Insert a thin plastic opening pick into the gap.

6. 6

   Slice Top Adhesive

   3 min

   Slide the pick carefully along the top edge of the tablet to cut through the adhesive layer. Keep the pick depth under 3mm to prevent damaging sensors.

7. 7

   Slice Side and Bottom Adhesive

   4 min

   Insert additional picks along the sides and lower edge. Gently slide them around the entire perimeter to fully release the screen bond.

8. 8

   Lift Display Open

   2 min

   Gently swing the top edge of the screen up like a book cover. Stop once you can view the motherboard flex cable connectors underneath.

9. 9

   Unscrew Connector Shield

   2 min

   Locate the metal protection bracket over the display and battery flex cables. Use a precision Phillips screwdriver to remove the securing screws.

10. 10

    Remove Metal Shield

    1 min

    Use tweezers to lift the metal bracket straight off the motherboard board. Set the bracket and tiny screws in a magnetic tray.

11. 11

    Disconnect Battery Cable

    1 min

    Pry the battery connector straight up from the motherboard using a plastic spudger. Disconnecting power prevents electrical damage during screen removal.

12. 12

    Disconnect Display Cables

    2 min

    Use the plastic spudger to detach the main display ribbon cable from its motherboard connector. Unplug any secondary digitizer flex cables.

13. 13

    Detach Old Screen Assembly

    1 min

    Lift the original screen off the tablet body completely. Set the damaged screen aside.

14. 14

    Scrape Old Adhesive Residue

    4 min

    Use a plastic prying tool to scrape away any sticky tape residue from the perimeter of the aluminum frame. Take care not to scratch the frame lip.

15. 15

    Clean Frame Channel

    3 min

    Dampen a microfiber cloth with isopropyl alcohol and wipe down the frame perimeter. Remove all dust, tiny glass shards, and oils.

16. 16

    Apply New Screen Adhesive

    4 min

    Lay double-sided precut adhesive strips precisely around the inner lip of the tablet frame. Press down firmly to seat the tape.

17. 17

    Connect Replacement Screen

    2 min

    Position the new screen near the frame and snap the main display ribbon connector directly onto the motherboard socket.

18. 18

    Reconnect Battery Cable

    1 min

    Align the battery press-connector over its socket and push down until it snaps securely into place.

19. 19

    Reinstall Connector Shield

    2 min

    Place the metal shield over the flex connectors. Secure it using the Phillips screws you removed earlier.

20. 20

    Test Screen Functionality

    3 min

    Power on the tablet to verify display output, touch responsiveness, and camera function. Turn off the device before completing assembly.

21. 21

    Seal Display to Frame

    3 min

    Peel the protective backing liners off the installed frame adhesive. Align the new glass panel carefully with the frame and press firmly along all edges.
