Introduction

This prerequisite guide shows how to open up the screen casing of the One Education Infinity for access to the components on the back of the screen. These components include the LCD display and touch screen assemblies, two antennae for sending and receiving signals, the webcam, a couple of circuit boards most likely responsible for image and touch input processing, and the upper portion of the hinge assembly.

Additionally, note that this guide has the user remove the battery prior to disassembling the upper case to prevent any electrical damage while disconnecting the display cables. However, the same effect can be achieved by simply disconnecting the battery cable, so the battery removal in step 5 can be skipped to save a bit of time and effort.
