    • Remove the sticker located directly under the the built-in kickstand to reveal two 0.75 mm screws.

    • Remove the microSD card slot cover. Remove any microSD card (if inserted).

    • Using a Phillips head screwdriver, remove the three 0.75 mm screws.

    On 3 plus model the third screw is not under microSD card but rather under a small sticker on the right side. Plus has longer battery.

    on the Tab 3 plus , the third screw is not under the sd card but a little further over under another sticker and is painted white

    • Orient the device so the screen is facing you.

    • Carefully insert the spudger along the seam between the screen and back cover and gently separate the back cover from the device frame.

    • Continue to detach the backplate from the frame by moving the spudger around the perimeter.

    • Some force will be required to detach the small plastic braces securing the backplate to the device.

    On some models there is glue pad under the sim/sdcard tray.

    Ein Hinweis auf den Federrahmen an der Kamera wäre nützlich. Er ist sehr empfindlich. Ich habe ihn beim Öffnen zerstört und jetzt stellt die Kamera nicht mehr scharf.

    Thomas Spieker -

    Hallo Thomas, tut mir leid, dass deine Kamera nicht mehr schart stellt. Aber die Anleitungen funktionieren wie Wikipedia: Wenn du mehr Infos hast, stelle sie gern allen anderen zur Verfügung!

    Fabian Neidhardt -

    (at least on the Plus model) the most difficult plastic clips are near the micro-SD/SIM. So it is easier to release the other side, where the camera not is. or pull the casing "down" towards the battery/stand.

    • Remove the 3 screws in the auxiliary port cover and lift the plastic piece.

    • Carefully pull back the auxiliary module to move it out of the way.

    • Remove the plastic block in front of the hinge.

    In some versions there is only 2 screws (top left and bottom) and the cover is now integrated with step 3 plastic block as one piece. Australian version.

    From where do I buy the battery?

    Aneesh Grover -

    I could not find the right battery for my 3 Plus and ended up buying cells and re-soldering them into a new battery. Bought 3 of Panasonic 18650 Li-ion NCR18650G Japan 3600mAh 3.7V from Orbtronic. Used a process similar to described in this video to rebuild the battery - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXiMgPBA...

    • Use a spudger to pry the locking mechanism.

    as shown in the picture, the kickstand must be closed all the way in order to extract the locking mechanism far enough to remove the battery!

    • Lift and pull to detach the battery compartment.

    • Use tweezers to lift the tape covering the screw.

    • If using sharp-ended tweezers, try to avoid damaging the thin tape material.

    Booking to battery

    This Instruction is good. Step 5 isnt as easy as described. Its difficult to get the locking mechanism out, also not easy to get it back in again. I am a computer technician and needed 20 Minutes, 5 Minutes as described is way to short.

    Guido Schmitz -

    Hi, how we disconnect the cable from the tablet on the other side ?

    Manuel GRILO -

    I used this you tube video to remove camera and disconnect cables on my 3 Plus version. Don’t use the brute force to remove the battery on the cables side as shown in that video - cables can be damaged. Work out the hinge as recommended here this is the right way!

    • Use a small phillips-head screwdriver to remove the screw.

    • Open the cover and remove the battery.

    • Pay careful attention to the battery's cable located on the opposite size during removal.

    I also had to remove the metal cover on the upper left-hand side of the mainboard (directly under the camera) in order to safely remove the battery cable; it’s also helpful to disengage the camera lock (see “camera replacement” guide) and remove the camera+battery cable guide to make it easier to fiddle the cable out of the housing.

    Bryan Jurish -

    I would love a tutorial on how to remove and replace the power button? Does anyone know a link please..cheers

    Carmel Lacy -

    Die Anleitung ist gut, es fehlt bloß das lösen vom Bateriekonnektor und das lösen der Spange

    Markus Brandenburg -

    How hard should it be to remove the battery pack from the hinge?

    Mine just won't seem to budge.

    Xander Squier -

    Bevor der Akku entfernt werden kann, muss das Kabel vom Mainboard gelöst werden. Das ist ein Mikro-Steckkontakt. Um überhaupt an den Steckkontakt zu kommen muss noch eine Metallabdeckung entfernt werden (2 Schrauben). Dann den Stecker mit einer Pinzette anheben.
    Ich musste dann auch noch den Steckkontakt für die Kamera entfernen. Danach konnte ich die metallene Kabelführung neben der Kamera noch lösen (1 Schraube). Nur so konnte ich dann endlich das Kabel des Akkus herausbringen.

Very good. Nice operation. For me it takes 10 minutes for get the battery out the device and 4 minutes to replace all. Thanks!!

Adriaan Velleman -

Seem to be missing the step where you disconnect the battery. That seemed real important as I'm sitting here with the tablet in bits trying to see how to do that bit.

matt hoppo -

Matt, I just pulled mine apart and the problem might be that you have a different revision of your tablet. Mine had three screws on the backplate but one of them is next to, not in the sd card slot, and there were only 2 screws on the “aux port" (speaker for me) not three.

If so, I had to remove the camera module to get the battery cabling free, it is threaded through a shared camera/kickstand bracket that looks permanent. Removing the camera was creepy, it takes more force than I like, but doable:

Pull the camera wiring harness from the motherboard, unscrew, I'm my case, everything in that area, I have broken enough stuff because of missed screws. The camera itself has 2 screws holding it down via the same plate that the battery cable snakes through. After that it's just a lift/pry thing until the module pops out.

Wish I could put up some pictures but I don't see a way, hope this helps you or anyone else. This tablet is easier to get into then most, but it would be easy to fubar on this if not careful.

Hi, I have a problem with the battery of lenovo yoga tab 3 10.1 and need a replacement for it. Could any one please let me me know where I can get the battery?

Prasad -

I have the same problem. Where to find the battery for YOGA Tablet 3 PRO 10 YT3-X90F 32GB, ASIN B015MOQP02 on Amazon. Many thanks

Fabio Ciolli -

@Matt You can get the battery wire out by gently moving the camera cable out of the way and feeding the battery cable through the hole.

Amelia Filmer -

Thank you for this. Lenovo was very sneaky on this one using super strong clips and making sure to hide the screws well. (EDIT: To be fair I only used this info for getting into the tablet to replace the charge port)

Kyle -

hello, and the model with projector?

Harris Goulimis -

I've got a b8080-f that won't power on. It shows as zero percent full and sits for hours without taking a charge. Is a new battery likely to resolve this?

Aidan Bree -

If the computer functions while connected to power, yet dies immediately when disconnected and will not hold a charge, a new battery would likely resolve the problem.

Austin Blakely -

Bonjour,

Est-ce identique pour le modèle avec vidéoprojecteur ? (Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Pro YT3-X90F)
