Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Battery Replacement

Step 1 Rear Panel



• Place the bottom of the tablet towards you.
• Remove the 4.1mm screws near the charge port with a Tri-Wing screwdriver.
• If there are plastic tabs covering these screws, use pointed tweezers to pry the tabs out.
• On model GT-P7500, this step is omitted, as that model doesn't have these 2 screws.
Step 2




• Start in the middle of the left side and insert a plastic opening tool between the rear panel and the front panel assembly.
• Carefully run the plastic opening tool along the left and top edge to pry the rear panel away from the rest of the device.
• Place opening picks along the side you have already pried open to keep the back panel detached from the rest of the device.
• Be sure to work carefully, as prying too firmly can crack the screen.
Step 3
• Using the plastic opening tools, continue to carefully run along the right and bottom edge, and then lift the screen from the back panel.
Step 4 Battery
• Flip up the retaining flaps on the ZIF connectors that secure the three large ribbon cables.
• Carefully pull the three ribbon cables from their sockets on the motherboard.
Step 5
• Remove the ten 3 mm Phillips #00 screws surrounding the battery.
Step 6
• Lift the edge of the battery up with your finger or a spudger.
• Detach the battery by holding the motherboard down while gently lifting the battery up.
