Step 1

              Vizio VTAB1008 Back Cover Removal

Carefully slide the heavy duty opening tool between the gap on the side of the device with no buttons.
Do not insert the opening tool too far into the tablet as this can damage connectors close to edges of the cover.
The angled tip of the opening tool can be wedged into the device by pressing on the back of the opening tool with the thumb. Move the opening tool in a sliding motion to ensure all tabs separate.
Corner tabs may require a more forceful prying tool. If needed, carefully insert the metal prying tool into corners to separate the tabs.

Step 2

Look into the tablet for loose connectors.
There are three loose connectors: one for the screen, one for the digitizer, and one for the motherboard. They are held in place by the pressure of the backing and screen assemblies.
Flip the backing from the button-less side over, being careful not to separate the ribbon connector from the display screen.
