Difficulty

Time Required

35 - 45 minutes

Introduction

Use this guide to replace the volume control buttons in your HP ElitePad tablet (Model 900). If the buttons on your tablet are not working properly or seem to be getting jammed consistently, they may need to be replaced. The volume buttons control the volume within the device and function by being pressed on from the sides of the tablet. The functionality of these buttons should be able to move back and forth in order to increase or decrease volume. Volume control buttons that are unable to be pressed all the way down or feel loose or have no response when being pressed down need to be replaced. Before using this guide ensure that nothing is in the way of the buttons preventing them from working. Prior to beginning the process of replacing the buttons it is important that the device is fully turned off and disconnected from any external power sources.

    • Use a suction cup to pull the display assembly up.

    Several of the clips that hold the screen in appear to be spring loaded and magnetic. I theorize that the official replacement tool contains magnets that pushes those clips back toward the center of the screen, releasing them. I’m wondering if the same thing could be accomplished with the proper end of a bar magnet. I do know that if you lay the removed screen down on the 6 little screws that hold the battery in, you will have a devil of a time finding them stuck to one of the clips. At least the floor of the shop got a good sweeping. ;^)

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
