  1. Do I have to tear it down to replace the digitizer completely? Either way, how do you remove the digitizer from the screen?

    1. You can buy it on eBay for $19. You do not need to tear it down completely! Check some videos on YouTube about replacing digitizers for popular phones, etc. You will learn how it works.

  2. You have to replace the Digitiser and LCD as one unit. The 2 parts are bonded together.
    Shame this teardown doesn’t go all the way to removing all parts.

  3. This is the only guide I could find for this tablet on how to replace the USB port. This has been super helpful. Thanks!
