Detailed instructions for parsing
We begin to disassemble
To begin, snap off a very flexible plastic panel on the perimeter, located on the rear roof of the device. Then we unscrew six screws from the aluminum frame and remove it. By the way, this panel adds to the body both strength and a significant part of the already rather big weight of the tablet.
Disconnect the connectors and cables, unscrew the screws fixing the battery, then remove the battery. The battery is striking in its size and pleases with capacity: 3700 mAh or 27 HF.
Motherboard
The process of extracting the motherboard is quite time-consuming. First of all, disconnect the display connector and the Home button loop from it, then snap off two coaxial cables, followed by the connector of polyphonic speakers and the polyphonic speakers themselves. Next, unscrew the bolts and screws (two of them belong to the frame of the system connector), lift and unfold the system board, and then disconnect the connector of the front camera. Removing the board, remove the camera from it. The quality of the built-in cameras can be called rather mediocre: the main 5 MP and the front 2 MP, which, however, is normal for devices of this class.
On the front side of the motherboard there is a powerful processor, flash, user multimedia memory, GPS and WI-FI 802.11n module, as well as a front camera connector and a system connector.
The reverse side of the motherboard contains connectors of a giant battery, a colorful display and a card reader card, as well as plugs of side buttons (very ergonomically built into the tablet body, by the way), sensor, fairly quiet polyphonic speakers and mechanical Home button.
Additional fees
Turn off the fixing screws and remove the bottom board. It contains headset and HDMI connectors, and a connector for attaching to the system board.
The card with the reader of the memory card is removed together with the cable, after unscrewing the two fixing screws.
Before removing the board with the side buttons, you also need to unscrew the two bolts. In addition to the keys, a microphone is built into this board.
We finish the analysis
First, peel off the sticker and unscrew the screws, then remove the camera. Possessing not the best quality of shooting, it, nevertheless, allows to use the video call function tolerably.
