Great explanation
One tip from my experience with removing some Tab A8 displays:
Once the screen is loose,
Don't immediately start prying between the display and the PCB assembly with a screwdriver.
Instead, look at where the display cable is connected to the screen.
Because that's where it's attached to a so-called flip connector. Just loosen the adhesive tape.
Remove the flip-up ribbon cable from the screen.
This way, you can prevent yourself from breaking or pulling anything.
You have a more limited view of your work, because your hand with the screwdriver is working between the two panels.
My first repair job cost me a brief moment of inattention.
More extra work because I had to replace the ribbon cable connector on the PCB.
Again, not a comment on everyone's approach to repairing electronics.
But I want to encourage beginning DIY enthusiasts to follow this video and incorporate this tip into their disassembly/repair process.
Kind regards
