Step 1
Back Cover Screws
- Using your spudger or metal tweezers, work the rubber screw covers out of their sockets, found on each of the four corners of the back cover.
- Have patience! These are held in with glue and can take time and a few attempts to remove.
- Using a PH00 screwdriver, remove the 5.8mm screws found beneath each rubber cover (4 total).

Step 2
Pry Off Back Cover
- Using the flat end of your prying tool, work the back cover away from the rest of the gTabet.
- Starting near the charging port, work in one direction around the perimeter of the device.
- Do not insert prying tool deeper than is necessary to separate back cover. You may damage other components!
- Lift off back cover to reveal the interior of the device.

Step 3
Identify Battery & Prepare for Removal
- The battery is the large black square that dominates much of the device interior.
- There is tape holding several wires in place. This must be removed before the battery can be removed. Peel it gently; you will want to use it later.

Step 4
Disconnect Battery Power Cable
- Using a PLASTIC tool of your choice, push both ends of the power cable connector, one at a time, away from its housing. This will slowly wiggle the connector out of place.
- The white connector(red markup) comes off while the off white connector(orange markup) stays on the motherboard.

Step 5
Move Front-Facing Camera & Remove Battery
- Using tweezers, remove the protective foam backing arch from the front-facing camera.
- Pull the camera out of its housing and move it aside.
- Be sure to move any wires out of the way before attempting to move the battery, as these are still connected and shouldn’t be stressed!
- Gently lift the battery up and away from the rest of the device and set it aside.
