What You’ll Need
- Replacement glass
- Small screwdriver set
- Plastic opening tools
- Adhesive tape
- Clean cloth
Step 1: Acquire the Replacement Glass
Before you begin, make sure you have the correct replacement glass for your tablet model. Look for reputable suppliers online or contact your tablet manufacturer for the appropriate glass. Once you have the replacement glass, let’s move on to the next step!
Step 2: Prepare Your Workspace
Find a clean and well-lit area to work on your tablet. Lay a soft and clean cloth on the workspace to prevent scratches on your tablet’s screen or back cover. Ensure you have all the necessary tools nearby before proceeding.
Step 3: Remove the Old Glass
Use the small screwdriver to carefully remove any screws holding your tablet’s back cover in place. Put the screws aside safely, making sure not to lose them. Next, use the plastic opening tools to gently pry the back cover off. Be cautious and patient during this step to avoid damaging any other components.
Once the back cover is removed, locate and unplug any connectors linking the screen to the tablet’s motherboard. Pay close attention to these connectors to avoid accidentally damaging them. Finally, remove any adhesive tape or stickers securing the old glass.
Step 4: Attach the Replacement Glass
Take the replacement glass and carefully align it with the tablet’s front frame. Ensure there are no gaps or misalignments. Once satisfied, gently press the glass onto the tablet to secure it in place. Be cautious not to apply excessive pressure, as this could damage the new glass.
Step 5: Reassemble and Test
Reconnect any connectors you disconnected in Step 3, following the reverse order. Carefully place the back cover back onto the tablet and secure it with the previously removed screws. Make sure all the screws are tightened appropriately but not overly tightened, as this could damage the screws or tablet housing.
Once the tablet is reassembled, power it on to test the new screen. Check for any abnormalities, like touchscreen responsiveness, display brightness, or dead pixels. If everything appears to be in working order, congratulations! You’ve successfully replaced your tablet’s glass.
