Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 Verizon Battery Replacement

Step 1 Rear Case




• Before disassembling your Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8.0, be sure it is powered off and you remove the SIM and Micro SD cards.
• At the top of the tablet, nudge the blue plastic opening tool between the back plastic casing and the front panel's metal rim.
• Do not use excessive force when prying the clips, fastening the casing together, open because they can easily break.
Step 2



• Continue prying the blue plastic opening tool along the perimeter of the tablet to separate the back plastic casing from the front assembly panel.
• As right-handers, we found it easiest to move clockwise and use more pressure around the corners to facilitate the process.
• You might hear several popping noises caused by the plastic clips coming undone.
Step 3
• To avoid damaging the screen, gently set the tablet with the LCD screen faced down.
• Firmly grasp the back plastic casing and lift it away from the front assembly panel.
Step 4 Battery
• Peel up the detachable corner of the white plastic sticker that reads “pull (hands only).”
• Remove the sticker to form a tab.
Step 5
• Using your thumb and index finger, pinch the tab and pull it up to remove the top right corner of the battery from the front panel assembly.
• If battery resistance is encountered due to adhesive, use the flat end of a spudger to run in between the battery and the front panel assembly.
• Do not completely detach the battery just yet, doing so can cause damage to the red and blue cables loacted at the bottom of the battery.
Step 6
• Starting at the bottom left side of the battery, gently remove the green tape.
• Salvage the green tape if the replacement battery does not include one.
Step 7
• Run the spudger under the battery to disconnect the red and blue cable connector from the circuit.
• Lift the battery towards you, away from the front panel.
