has anyone successfully opened the pinetab2 to remove the screen?
I did receive some videos/pictures from support but i can't even slide my nails on the separation, tried with a guitar pick and even a plastic piece slimmer than that.
How did you do this?
Everything i have seen shows the screen already out of the case and then they slide something to finish opening it, but i'm not sure how to take it out in the first place...
If anyone has done this before i would appreciate any advice, would like to avoid breaking the screen...
Thanks
Hi Corconegre,
Haven't had a chance to take apart the Pinetab2 (yet - plan to at some point).
I would urge being very, very careful if attempting, until hearing from someone who has done this (multiple people broke their screens attempting version 1).
The best I can do for now is share where I documented Pinetab version 1 disassembly, screen removal, with pictures: https://politictech.wordpress.com/2022/0...s-pinetab/ <- NOT a guide to follow for removing pinetab2 screen
The warning: it's an entirely different build in many ways, but possible something said there might help along the way if doing screen replacement (like tips for undoing battery glue, avoiding central pressure on any part of screen).
NOT a guide for Pinetab2.
I'll be happy to respond again if I get a chance to remove screen on pinetab2.
I would personally suggest waiting for someone has reported success. Hate to hear anything happen to your screen.
