Removing the PDN bottom coversCaution Be careful not to put too much pressure on the display, there's glass under there! The larger back cover slides down away from the smaller cover. there s is a seam on the back that divides the two It is held in place internally by 2 strips of double sided tape, one on each side. Start by working a thin plastic tool guitar pick into the horizontal seam under the Pandigital logo. The cover is held securely by clips on the sides one in the center of the seam. As you open the seam, you are trying to overcome the grasp of the double sided tape & that's all. Be sure slide the cover down sufficiently 1/8 before you try to lift it up. Once you move it far enough to hear the hold of the tape let go, you should be able to lift the cover off. There is nothing electrical connected to the back cover. In the video, the double sided tape has already been removed & the cover slides open more easily than the first time. It is not necessary to remove the tape, as it will loose some of it's holding power & the cover will usually be easier to remove in subsequent attempts Removing the smaller (upper) back cover This info is a bit more sketchy, as I have not found detailed instructions, instead it is a collection of tips from those who have done it. The top of the back plate will be where the most resistance is. What I found is that you need to get the upper right side loose first if looking from the back once that's loose, you basically pry it off from there. It is very difficult to get off, even after the tape is detached. Every time I've done it I was sure I broke the **** thing because you get that cracking sound that makes your hair stand on end This cover does not slide to be lifted off like the larger cover. Instead you pry the sides OUT, because the tabs that hold it on push straight IN. Once you get those it's a matter of overcoming your fear and pulling hard enough to tear loose from the tape. Also, be smart. The top doesn't slide, but it has to be pushed UP to clear the switches. and remove the sd card

Hello,

The reason the phone went all multicoloured is simply because there is a problem with the flex of the phone.

the flex is the mechanism behind the screen of the phone that allows the phone slide up and down.

You have to get a replacement flex, which is a flat ribbon.

To fix this;

1. Remove your back cover, battery, sim and memory card,
2. Remove the plastic sticker shown below. It should peel away easily. Now remove the five screws you can see,
3. The battery compartment should now be loose and can be removed,
4. Now detach the circled ribbon connector. It attaches like a plug and socket so simply lift it up, away from the phone, to unplug. Lift this up carefully.
5. Lift the circuit board from the bottom, You'll notice it is still attached by another ribbon. This detaches like the previous ribbon,
6. Remove the six black screws you see then pull the slide in the direction shown by the arrows in order to remove it,
7. Push the slide up to reveal four more screws. Unscrew these,
8. Lift the metal part away from the body of the phone, Slide the ribbon through the gap then completely detach the metal part you just unscrewed. It will be held in place quite tight at the top, where the camera is, so just wiggle it around until it releases,
9. the ribbon you just slided through the gap is the flex,
10. carefully replace it with a new one,
11. Reverse the whole procedure for reassembly.

• Starting near the top of the phone, run your credit card along the join of the front cover. When you have released the cover as much as shown below, slide the cover down to remove it (clips hold the cover on at the bottom which will be bent if you don't slide the cover off).

STEP 4 You should now have the front cover removed. Remove the small screw you can see. STEP 5

Hello.

To remove the battery cover, press down on the notch at the bottom of the phone and slide the cover. The battery cover should slide and lift off easily.

Hold the top edge of the battery and using your fingernail, lift the battery from the battery compartment.

Hope this helps.

Procedure:

Remove battery cover located under the hood on the passenger side in the back. Simply pry the plastic catch in the front, open it like a lid and jiggle it loose and set it aside.
Use the small flat screwdriver to pop up the center peg in the five peripheral fasteners holding down the plastic compartment cover that you just removed the battery cover from. Each of these has a small black plastic circular flat topped center peg inside a larger plastic circular disk which has 4 slots under which you can slide the screwdriver to pop up the center peg. When the peg pops up simply slide the screwdriver under the larger disk to remove the assembly and loosen that site of fixation. When all five fasteners are out you can remove the entire compartment cover.
The battery terminals are removed with the 10mm wrench
The black box in front of the battery can be lifted out of the way by pressing on the plastic catch in the front of the box to loosen it from the metal flange that it is attached to.
The metal battery holder is removed with the 10 mm wrench. The nut is removed and the long bolt is slid out of the holder and then unhooked from it's bottom anchor. Jiggle the metal bar over the top of the battery to unhook the back hook from its bottom anchor. It may be necessary to lift the plastic over the back of the battery gently and lift out the soft clear plastic washer fluid tube from its guides to get at the back hook.
