Step 2
- Be careful with the small blue capacitors indicated by the orange box. There are many of these capacitors in the device.
- Slowly lift the backside cover.
- Both sides lift up the same way, but the motherboard is under one side and the battery is under the other.
- Detach the four cables connected to the cover by pinching the connector clips and pulling the cables out:
- Three cables on the motherboard side.
- Two red cables with white connectors and one white cable with a white connector.
- One yellow cable with a black connector on the battery side.
- After detachment, you should be able to completely remove the backside cover.

Hi,
my girl Swagtron T6 wheel is flat. Probably it is a nail hole. We are faraway from US, so I have to do it by myself. Can I get the wheel out for tire repairing?
Can you help me please?
Thanks

I have a T6 Swagtron and I am struggling to get the wheel off. Are these magnets really that strong? It feels like there is something else holding the wheel in place. I tried prying it but doesn’t seem like its doing enough.
