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.
