These instructions do not apply to the Verizon Ellipsis 8, QTASUN1. The G3 LTE unit requires that you remove the top end that covers the camera lens by popping the edge fasteners along the seam across the back with the spudger, carefully and then sliding the end (that covers the camera lens) off the top of the tablet. At that point three tiny Allen screws will become exposed. Remove the tiny screws and put them on a piece of tape! Make sure the micro memory card and sim card are removed! Using the spudger ( or a very thin knife edge) pop the bottom covering snaps backwards until you can slide the back downward to expose the battery. At that point it is the same as the description for battery replacement. Be very careful about loosing the three tiny, tiny, tainy flat head allen screws that hold the back on the tablet. Take your time and be methodical. If an 80 year old can do it, so can you!
