Introdução

The Nextbook Ares 10A digitizer replacement is a fairly straightforward job, but a soldering iron will be required if you are to disconnect the battery.

    • The battery is connected to the motherboard. We must disconnect it first before proceeding.

    • To disconnect the battery we must use a "soldering iron'' to disconnect the leads to the motherboard

    • Be very careful not to short the battery wires.

    • With the battery successfully disconnected we can move on with the repair while also keeping us and the device safe

    • It's a good idea to put tape over the ends of the battery lead to protect it from touching anything.

    • It may be a good idea to lift out the speaker at this point so the cables dont tear.

    • You will be moving the speaker over to the new digitizer and frame combo.

    • Flip up the five retaining flaps and pull out the fragile cables for the power and volume button, lcd, camera, digitizer, and daughter board holding the headphone jack.

    • It is not necessary to disconnect the camera but not doing so can risk tearing the fragile cable while removing the motherboard

    • Remove the 3 Philip's screws holding the motherboard in place along the top.

    • Use a finger to lift up the rear camera module from the device, there is a small amount of adhesive under it to keep it secure

    • Removing the camera will keep it from tearing when removing it from the motherboard.

    • Remove the silver plate over the headphone jack and lift up on the headphone jack to remove it.

    • At this point, the lcd can be removed, the battery, power and volume control are both glued onto the assembly.

    • While lifting the lcd assembly out, ensure that you do not touch the screen on the other side and that the power controller stays attached to it.

Chris I can't give you 30 points because your info is not helpful in getting my code reset. I just open the box after 3 years

Barbara Early -

I’m going to be honest.

1 - I have no idea what you are talking about, no form of code reset is applicable, this was walking through replacing an lcd, that’s it.

2 - I honestly could care less, this was something I was trying to do for the community when things were slow at my old job. I did what I could at the time with what I could from over 6 years ago now.

3 - I did this while I was in community college with very little knowledge of electronics, couldn’t find any tear down at the time so figured someone may need it down the line for this old even back then hardware. I now have been working for 3 years as an Electrical Engineer and can break down most circuits and debug most things for anyone if it’s needed. My free time has all but disappeared though.

4 - Yes I saw your comment…today… 3 years later.

Chris Foreman -

Did you get my message
