Motorola Xoom Teardown & Repair Directions By DirectFix.com

Greatly informative, and well-done video! I clicked an ad :)

Any chance of you doing one of these for a Xoom "family edition"? I went with one because of the upgraded screen and office apps, and now see that when the battery fails I won't be able to replace it - it has no torx screws, and a different rear cover design. Disassembly has me stumped, as well as every site I've seen on the web discussing it.

Its a well assembled tablet

I'm a little confused on specification on part names. My tablet fell out of a broken plastic bag and so until I disassemble it I don't know what part is cracked on my screen. Tell me if I'm wrong. There is a (1) glass screen and then (2) an LCD display. Is the glass screen called the digitizer? Or am I missing any parts because I don't want to buy the wrong replacement part. Thanks for the help. Much appreciated.

@MNcreativity The glass that you touch is called either a touch panel, glass front or digitizer all 3 of those names refer to the same part. The LCD is the screen under the touch panel aka digitizer. Hope this helps.

Thanks for posting this, it helped me replace the glass on my Xoom.

How did you get the stuck glass off the LCD?

After watching this video, have to say, that one well built tablet.

Seen another pic with a card in place, maybe 3g is on the mailboard and 4g requires a card? mines a UK 3g version...

[Trig0r]

Empty mini-PCIe slot header next to the battery?

[pdaparts]

@Trig0r Maybe. My guess is it is the spot for the cell card/board. Since this is a WiFi version.

[Trig0r]

@pdaparts Mine should be here in a few hours, could be interesting if its a standard mine-PCIe slot, take the 3G card out and fit something else more useful maybe...

Hmmm, I brought my screwdriver set in today to take a phone to bits...

[pdaparts]

@Trig0r Sounds like it is not the 3G card area from the info below by @Trig0r so if that is the case then I am leaning towards the mini-PCIe. Things are getting interesting.

@pdaparts Pretty sure it's for the 4G LTE modem.

[Trig0r]

@pdaparts Nope, just got mine about 10 minutes ago, already got the back off (them clips are a pita) not got a 3g card in it, same empty space you have on yours.

Could be interesting for modders if it can have a mini-PCIe soldered into place..

Just hope it switches on now lol...

It kinda hurts to watch this, especially since I'm watching it on my Xoom. Haha.

@awanaismylife Saves you from having to do it to your unless you break it and want to save some money by fixing it yourself.
