Merci pour c’est instructions! Je vais essayer, mais comment acheter une batterie ou une nappe de connecteur de charge? J’ai cherché sur internet mais je n’ai pas trouvé mon modèle qui est T813…

Opening the back of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 (SM-T813) with a cutter knife e.g. is a LOT easier than removing the front, and you can also take out the battery
