Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 Screen Replacement

Step 1 Back Panel



• Starting at any corner, insert the pry tool between the chrome screen frame and black phone housing.
• Slide the pry tool around the tablet while applying force to pry the screen away from the phone housing.
Step 2

• Carefully separate the rear housing from the front panel assembly.
Step 3 Motherboard
• Using the bent tweezers, carefully pull the flat cables away from the connectors.
• Do not bend the flat cables at the tips as they may become permanently deformed.
Step 4
• Using the plastic opening tool, gently pry the chip connections away from the motherboard.
Step 5
• Use the Phillips 000 screwdriver to remove the remaining five 1.2 mm screws.
Step 6
• Use extreme care while removing the motherboard to avoid damaging the component.
• Remove the motherboard by rotating it away from the rest of the phone as shown in the first photo.
Step 7 Battery
• You do not need to remove the motherboard in order to remove the battery as the photos may indicate.
• Work the spudger underneath the battery as shown and pry the battery away from the phone case.
• The battery is attached to the case with adhesive, so a bit of force is required during removal.
Step 8 Screen
• Evenly heat the surface of the screen using your heating tool to loosen the adhesive that is holding the screen to the phone case.
• If using the heating pad, you may have to reheat it once or twice during this process.
• If you're using a heat gun, avoid heating one spot for more than a few seconds.
Step 9
• Carefully insert the spudger between the glass and the chrome outer frame of the tablet.
• Now, slowly pry your way around the screen to loosen the glass from the frame.
Step 10
• After you’ve removed the glass from the screen, feed the chip connection through the phone casing.
• The screen may need a little more force to separate from the upper edge of the tablet.
