Шаг 2

Using a hair dryer, slowly heat the edges of the WorkPad.
Spend at least one minute heating each side of the device. This will melt the glue holding the case together, and allow it to be removed.
Be sure not to touch the device directly after heating as it will be extremely hot. Use a towel or oven mitt to grab it.

Шаг 3

Use a plastic opening tool to pry the back case from the WorkPad.

If the back case has already been removed, carefully place it on the WorkPad to protect the circuitry inside from the heat.
Using the hair dryer, slowly heat the edges of the device. Spend at least 1 minute on each side, thoroughly heating the case.
The LCD/Digitizer combo is very sensitive to heat, and can easily be ruined if it is directly exposed to the hair dryer. Verify that the screen is face down.
