Introduzione

Wacom CTH-460 Bamboo Pen & Touch is a fairly easy device to disassemble, requiring only a Phillips #000 screwdriver and tweezers or similar tool to pry adhered and clipped elements.

The only fragile elements are flex cables connecting the touch digitizer to the mainboard.

If you plan on replacing the USB cable, please note that the USB cable is soldered to the mainboard.
