Working on your device while it is turned on may result in an electric shock. Be sure to shut down and unplug your device before you begin.
Removing the screen may be difficult due to strong adhesives.
Apply heat to all the seams of the device using an iFixit iOpener or heat gun in order to loosen the adhesive around the edges of the screen.

m.E. wichtig vorher die Kartenhalter für SIM und SD entfernen, sonst löst sich der Kontakt unkontrolliert bei Schritt 6.

You make no mention of re-Glueing the screen, just applying the steps in reverse order - does that mean simply applying heat again will re-glue the components from the residue?

i replaced the battery, the sticky tape did hold up again, but if you replace the screen it depends on whate side the tape sticks to. On ine the most part of the tape stuck to the screen.

Step 2

Insert the plastic opening tool into the gap on the side of the tablet, near a corner where you want to start removing the screen.
Place the small suction cup on the screen near the corner that the plastic opening tool is placed.
Lift the small suction cup up while pushing down with the plastic opening tool to remove screen (you may need to have someone else hold the device down for proper leverage).
A ribbon cable is attached to the back of the screen. Avoid lifting or moving the screen more than 3-4 inches before disconnecting the ribbon cable or you could damage the device.

Edit

The lower portion of the screen is glued to the body. The screen is unable to be completely removed.

starte oben, unten verhindert eine Nase an dem Audioanschluß das erste anheben.

start upside, downside a nose at the audio connector prevents the first lifting.

Difficile, j'ai acheté les outils nécessaires. Après avoir chauffé les côtés et essayé de les décoller, la vitre a craqué.😠

Had to use a heat gun to remove with patience and time, using a pic to "saw" into the seal, starting with the right side corners. Stopping every few seconds to reheat with heat gun. Take care on the bottom left corner, and left side. There is very little room between the edge and LCD, making it easy to stick a plastic pick or removal tool in between the LCD and front glass. The other sides have more room for prying. I nicked the bottom left corner with a prying pic, which killed the entire display :-( Good luck!

A piece of silver tape is placed over the gold ribbon cable connecting the screen to the tablet.
Use the tweezers to carefully remove the silver tape.

Hi. My SM T 815 (Tab 2) flickers and switches off. The screen is still fine. Well atleast it looks fine. But it doesn’t switch on. Could it be the reflex cable? Why is it doing this? And how can it be solved?

Step 6

Pry open the next layer of the device using the plastic opening tool.
Even though the device separates along the outside edge, using the inside edge (as pictured) may help with leverage.
