Some tips - I started out totally paranoid about cracking the case - and using plastic pry tools to avoid scratches. Both plastic tools lost their edge in the attempt and it was really hard getting separation. Then I tried the slim rounded metal tool - very nicely polished and little chance of scratching. After that it was easy - metal tool was much stronger and had everything apart in seconds. I mention this in case someone goes through the same angst as me :-)
Hey Brother at least you had the stones to crack open the case, I'm the above comment , I have a Google Pixle C and am very paranoid myself as to try to crack open the case,and am very interested in the tool you used to open your tablet, I don't like plastic pry tools,and I'm afraid of using an exacto knife can you let me know the tool that you used I'm looking for any help I can get both repair shops I talked too, want a hundred bucks just to look at it cause they have to crack the case and it's a lot of work.
This is a good guide to disassembling a Nexus 10. I followed instructions to disassemble mine, in order to replace the battery. The replacement battery works great now, but when I reassembled the N10, the touch screen didn't work, even though the display was good. This review describes how I fixed that, and how to avoid the problem in the first place. After MUCH checking and rechecking cables & connections without success, I noticed that some subtle wiring on the inside of the backplate (the big thing you remove first) appeared to be damaged. I thought that there was a CHANCE that replacing that backplate would cure the touchscreen problem; if it didn't, all I could think of was replacing the screen (rare, and expensive). I ordered a backplate replacement for about $15, and that fixed it. Yay! To avoid this misery, just be aware that there are some circuit traces on the backplate just above the camera cutout, running about 4 inches. So when removing the backplate with a tool, treat the corners as the video shows, but try not to lever the backplate up and off in that area above the camera cutout. I had inadvertently done subtle damage by not knowing that.
+Gael Curry do you have email please, i have a few question, mi right side touch screen does not work , what do you mean when saying backplate, i didn't understand you well, thank you
+keewee23 By "backplate" I mean the entire back cover of the tablet. The video shows how to pry it off of the main body, starting at one corner, and working around the tablet to each of the four corners. I think that if you only pry near the corners, you will be OK. But I pried up the backplate by putting a tool at the edge near the camera. When my tool went inside, it accidently cut some circuit lines that were on the inner side of the backplate. Those circuit lines must have controlled the touch ability, since a replacement backplate solved my problem. I conjecture that you might have cut half (perhaps) of the circuit lines by doing what I did, so that might be why only half of your touch screen works. For me, it was a gamble. Bet $15 for a new backplate, and maybe that fixes it. If not, well, not too expensive an experiment.
Good video, thanks. Not too hard but getting the case apart is difficult. I found it a bit easier to connect the new battery then screw it in before reconnecting the ribbon cables. A feeling of relief when it worked!
Is it risky/difficult to remove the body from the rubber casing around it.Does it come off easily?. Is there a chance of screen cracking during the same?. Please clarify?.
That last step - when you remove the volume and power buttons...how would you a new volume and power button part back on there? You say it's held in by adhesive. Would I just glue the new one back in and connect the cable to the motherboard?
i just finished replacing mine...the replacement part came with adhesive already on it...you could use glue if u wanted...the back side of the button contacts is just stuck to a plastic wall
hi I have the same nexus 10 and although I've charged it for ages. I turn it on and it goes to the multicoloured cross point then flickers and goes off . turning on again doest he same . would this be a battery problem or sownthing else . regards

I just peel the case off by hand, no need for any tools other than a screwdriver for the screws.
just wanted to give a big thank you for putting this up...replaced my battery and power/volume ribbon with this.
saved me a LOT of money!

It looks so beautiful with the case open, with how all the components nicely fit together
Great video, easy to replace the battery in a few years.
Thank you very much for this video!!! I have changed the battery very easily thanks to you...
Thanks for this great video. It made changing the battery seem easy. Especially the 'suction cup' tip. Much appreciated
Thank you for this comprehensive video. I successfully replaced the complete LCD frame on my Nexus 10, all by myself.
Thanks for the video!! I just was able to replace the battery in my Nexus 10 after watching!
Good video, thanks. Not too hard but getting the case apart is difficult. I found it a bit easier to connect the new battery then screw it in before reconnecting the ribbon cables. A feeling of relief when it worked!
what are those steel squares on the upper right and upper left?
thank you Powerbook Medic ! worked flawlessly.
Thanks for the tutorial. Throwing Nexus in the trash.
Great Video. Trying to fix the power button. It is stuck.

would like to know this as well...already ordered the tools from the site

Cool, where did you order the replacement part from? I need one.
Wow such a quick response thank you
are there any tempered glass screen protector available for this tablet?.
Thank you.
Can someone may indicate a similar battery as it is nearly impossible to get the original battery for Google Nexus 10 Battery?
Oh those are the speakers. I see.
Where can I find a batter for it.
do you have to take apart the whole thing to replace the digitizer and screen?
Yes you do.
