Pine64 PineTab 2 Touch & Front Glass Replacement

Use the opening tool to lift the panel from the back cover

The panel is clipped to the frame so you should feel the clips release

Sliding the opening tool sideways after opening the first clips helps opening others

You will need to open clips on all 4 sides

Lift the panel out of the back and put it on a soft surface with the glass down without stretching the flex cable connecting the back and the mainboard

The element forming the three buttons will probably fall out at this point. Put it aside but remember to put it back into the back cover before closing the device

The wifi antenna is glued to the frame

Carefully peel it of without tearing it apart

It is sticky enough to hold again later without extra glue

Unscrew the speaker (mounted at the top with metal surfaces)

Lift the front camera out of its hole. It has no screws or clips

Move those parts inwards so they rest on the back of the LCD

Unscrew and lift aside the black plastic that holds the back camera in place

The camera itself can remain

Remove the washer screw holding the headphone jack in place (next to the camera)

Carefully lift the round sensor from its position in the frame

Remove the speaker cables from their trenches in the black support element, it may be covered by tape

Unscrew the element and put it aside

Remove the flat cable connecting the touch from the mainboard by flipping up the black latch holding it in place

Remove the screws holding the mainboard

Lift it up carefully to access the LCD clips underneath

Unclip the LCD panel from the front glass panel by carefully wedging an opening pick between the panel and the clips holding it in place
