Would like instructions for opening up Samsung Tab 8 sm-t380
Would like to know if the instructions opening the Tab 8 to replace the battery are the same for replacing the screen?
Is this a good question?

Hi Leenaud,
Well, it wasn't easy finding a guide specifically for your tablet; there seems to be a lot of confusion regarding model numbers when you toss in the "A" and "8.0" numbers, but I located what they're calling a teardown video. It shows pretty clearly how to get the battery out, but doesn't address the screen at all.

Now it says "screen replacement" but that would assume you've purchased the screen already mounted to the frame with the front glass. It's like the screen replacement on a lot of Samsung phones where the same sort of situation exists; it's possible to replace just the display, but generally accepted practice is to do the screen+frame assembly.
On the other hand, another video shows how to replace the front glass only if the LCD is still good. This one also shows removing the rear panel, but doesn't spend any time on the process of getting it off like the first video.

Unfortunately I did not locate any guides showing how to separate the LCD from the frame if you need to replace that part, so hopefully that's not what you're looking to do, but it's not clear from your question.

To be honest man opening any smart phone or tablet is pretty much the same process ,you need the hot air gun to soften the glue. Gently use a "special" prying tool , and there is really nothing special it's basically a guitar pick to edge your way in through the seams and once you have separated the screen housing which includes display and digitizer you carefully lift and locate the flex cable disconnect it , amd lift the whole screen housing then your left with the device , locate the flex cable connecting the battery to the circuit board unattach it and gently pry the battery from the base , usually has some double sided tape holding it down but it strong so be carefull not to puncture the battery , it is a lipo and it can go boom, lol OK not boom but it can catch fire internal combustion or some thing it will set on fire if you puncture it ,
