Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 Digitizer Replacement

What you need

    • First thing I did was put Packing Tape on cracked screen so when I removed digitizer broken glass wouldnt go everywhere. I then used a Hairdryer to heat the tablet so I can remove the screen. Next time I will use a heat gun, will work much better.

    • Time to put on new Digitizer. Stand up the Digitizer and Tablet and put the Digitizer cable through the hole to the back and plug in.

    Did you replace the seal tape before you put the digitizer back on to seal the gaps left when you removed the old one

    No, the Digitizer had Adhesive tape on it so I didnt need any more tape

    • I pushed the Digitizer in gently and it cracked! Cant believe it. Looks like I need to get another Digitizer. I turned it on and everything works great though, but im back to square one.

    How do i find out what mine is? I have a galaxy tab A, I don't know if it is an 8 or a 10? Can you please tell me what I need to find out. Thanks I will check back

    The 8 and 10 are screen sizes. If you have the 8ā€ model, you have the 8. If you have the 10ā€ model, you have the 10.

www.lcdcycle.com, I got mine here, and you can also get one on Ebay, but make sure you pay at least $30 for it so its better quality

Hye, is this the same with Galaxy Tab A 8" with S Pen

If my glass isn't cracked, but the screen looks like it is cracked underneath the glass, is that the lcd digitizer or is it something else? Thank you.

Ooh, I just found a combo on ebay for the glass, digitizer, and display all together for about $100. How difficult do you think it would be to remove the lcd? it looks like it would be easier to replace all of it instead of just the digitizer, and my problem isn't with the digitizer or the glass- just the LCD display, which is kind of strange. Where I am it's really really cold, and i kept getting in and out of the car last night, so I think the hot car to sub freezing temps over and over again might have done in the display.

So much easier to replace the whole thing instead of removing digitizer. Look at my take apart, you can see you can snap it out and put right back in.

What if you buy a screen with the LCD and digitizer already together? Would you have to transfer all the parts over to the new screen? Is they a video on how to do that?

If I buy a digitizer on eBay will the Samsung name be on the new screen or how would that

Do you have any tips for seating the new digitizer in properly without cracking the dang thing? I already cracked my first replacement, and Iā€™d like to try not to break the second one when it arrives.
