Step 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.

• Use a plastic opening tool to pry the back case from the WorkPad.
• If the rear cover is not coming off very easily, you probably need to reheat the case in order to sufficiently melt the glue.
