Introdução

If your screen is cracked, or parts of the display do not work normally, pixelated, or the screen will not function at all, use this guide to replace the screen.

Before starting the process, make sure that you troubleshoot your display to rule out other possible solutions, and potentially any need for replacement. Check out this page for more details on how to troubleshoot the display: Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 Screen Is Blank Or Unresponsive

The screen may become unresponsive due to slow processing, or go blank from something like the battery running out of power. The display is simply a place for the computer inside to output information, and can be affected by many different device components. If it seems that the device isn’t charging properly, check out this guide for battery replacement: [insert link here]

The screen can also degrade over time. Common issues are due to dirt, grime and other contaminants soiling the screen. Be sure to clean the display before attempting to replace the display.

Below are some video and step-by-step instructions for replacing the screen, with images to serve as visual aids should the video fail to load.

    • Fully power off the device.

    • Orient the screen so it is face-up.

    • Apply anti-clamp or other suction device to apply constant upward force on the screen.

    • Heat the screen to soften the adhesive with a heat gun or blow dryer. Be sure to heat all sides as evenly as possible.

    • Be careful not to overheat the device, as that could cause damage. It should be just too hot to touch.

    • Use plastic opening picks, or a Jimmy if necessary, to remove the adhesive and get under the screen.

    • Using the plastic opening picks, move around the screen slowly, one corner at a time. Every few inches, leave an additional opening pick behind where you are working to hold the screen open while continuing to remove the adhesive.

    • Continue to pry the screen off with the opening picks, using additional tools if more leverage is required.

    • If the device cools and the adhesive solidifies, reheat the device where necessary to soften the remaining adhesive.

    • Avoid using metallic tools, as doing so could cause damage to the screen or other internal components.

    • Using a Phillips #000 screwdriver, remove the 1.8mm screw holding the clamp that holds the screen ribbon in place.

    • Remove the battery connector ribbon to help prevent short circuiting of the device and/or shock hazards.

    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

Great video, I have a samsung 5se with a screen starting to lift and thinking about attempting to repair. It works perfectly just starting to see glue in places. I am curious as to the type of adhesive you used on this repair and if it can be purchased on this site?
