- This is how to replace a cracked screen on Samsung's Galaxy Tab 2 10.1. This being said its the same process for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 as well. I couldn't find an example of the screen being fixed on the actual Tab 2 so figured I would upload mine. If you need any additional help not in this video please contact me via www.android-adv...
Cheers dude...... one happy father and one ecstatic 8 year old daughter. Following this video and being patient I just rescued a £300.00 tablet. Absolutely no problem. One additional tip, I used a very sharp thin bladed knife to get the old screen off in one piece as ours was smahed worse than in the video. The hair dryer methoed was perfet and I was left with one tine piece of tape that peeled off easily afterwards. Thanks very much for taking the time to post this :)
Thank you, man! Just replaced a completely shattered screen with the help of your tutorial, and now the tablet works almost better than before! By the way, the replacement screen has the Samsung logo exactly like the old one, and had the glue provided around the border.
Great video!!!! I purchased the replacement screen on amazon for $28 and the video was perfect to walk me through. Did it in about 15 minutes!!!
On my first attempt, with your very easy to follow step by step instructions, I was able to replace my screen flawlessly. Thank you, thank you for posting this. I completed in about an hour.
Well done. I've done Xooms, GalaxyTab 10.1, and iPad...but not the Galaxy Tab 2 yet. Seeing how you got the case of was helpful b/c the fist Tab has 2 screws. A couple lessons learned I'll share with the DIY'ers- 1) buy a digitizer that comes with the tools. They are plastic and you won't risk the scratches you can get with a sharp/metal tool; 2) discharge the unit fully; 3) wear eye protection b/c of glass shards; 4) use LCD wipes to clean LCD; 5) compressed air and latex gloves are a +
I did it! I did it! Thanks for the great advice. Some observations: I used a 2000W hair dryer and heated the perimeter surfaces until they were quite hot to touch, allowing long enough for the heat to penetrate the glass to the glue on the inside. I also found pre-heating the putty knife helps - no point in sticking a cold knife in! My putty knife is much abused and had rounded edges rather than hard corners, and I was more comfortable with this as it would be less likely to dig in - so consider filing the corners off your putting knife.
Thanks a bunch! After replacing the digitizer of a Galaxy Ace phone I dared to replace the badly damaged digitizer of my tablet. This is a great guidance.
Excellent tutorial. The one thing I did with the cable at the end to make it easier as I have done a few things similar to this is attach the cable first and I just wrapped the screen around and then put the screen in place. Anyway, thanks for showing me how to take it apart correctly.
Great tutorial! Good explanation, easy to do. We now have a nice new screen and everything still works! Thank you!
Ur awesome........ I changed my charging port and battery and in the process I broke the screen.....
Thanks you very much. I've just saved my kid's Galaxy tab using your instructions!
Thank you so much! If a 41 year old soccer mom(me) and a spastic 16 year old(the one that broke it to begin with) can follow this video without tearing up the tablet, anyone can!
Thanks for posting this video, I followed the steps and replaced my first screen on one of these today! Works great, thanks again!
The cable must be seated properly. Make sure the line on the cable is aligned directly over the line on the board. Otherwise the touch feature will not work. Test it before reassembly in case it's poorly connected. I believe the the guy in the video mentioned that this part requires some attention to detail and that is is somewhat difficult to perform. I did notice a ridge on the back of the cable. I used my finger nails to push it in using this ridge and it was still fairly difficult. Success!
Once removed ,I cleaned the LCD from any debris, placed my new screen in place(fitted like a glove)Firmly press it into place around the black edge.Clip in the new connector on to the board.Then clip back on the back .And turn back on.A very easy repair took me 40 mins.Now my Tab looks as good as new ,Hope my wife does not drop it again!
Very good video. I have vision problems,but it was great video. Thanks for sharing !! You made it look easy !!
thank you so much for the vid, i used a popcorn maker to heat the glue and the blade, it got it super hot super fast. i needed to watch your vid a couple of times to work up the courage though. so glad i did it myself^^
I was able to replace the screen on my Daughters Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 following this. It was close enough.
Replaced my Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 screren earlier today ,using this video but there are some key differences.First thing take the back off the unit , the unclip the screen connector(which is below the battery towards the edge of the unit).Flip over the unit.Now the hard bit. removing he screen.I used a blunt Stanley knife blade to initially get under the glass, once under using a heat gun and a guitar pick I went around the edge ,this took about 20 minutes to remove it.TBC
The Tab 2 7 was much like this but a bit smaller, the case was hard to crack open. I used a plastic tool and a razor knife and first to do this. Then to get the screen off I used a guitar pic or some kind of tool included along with a heat gun to remove the digitzer. I had to get it started with a razor knife also but was not as concerned as it was being replaced. If I do this again I might want a set of tools to do this.
Fantastic video, really helped me change my smashed screen. Thank you
I haven't been able to find one for the Tab 2 7.0. However, at least the first parts match up with this video. I was able to pry off the back and pull out the tab that attaches the screen to the motherboard. I don't have the tools yet, so I don't want to mess around with it too much. Will post again after I've received the tools to point out any differences. Maybe I will post my own video in response.
Thanks mate. Saved my tablet.
Awesome. Thank you so much. This was a great turtorial.
Thank you so much for the walk through. We did it.
Excellent tutorial, but I have one question if you could help me out .Could you tell me where you purchased your screen with the adhesive? I have two Samsung tab 2 10.1, just like the one you demonstrated with. I just broke the screen on the good one. I had looked at them on-line (the screen) before, but I wasn't sure that it would have the adhesive and was afraid I would be throwing my money away. I was going to try to switch out screens from the old one to the new, but after watching you heat it up, it looks like it probably would not work well and it would be betterfor me to buy a new screen. Thanks for any guidance you can offer!
You made this look really easy and simple, would you recommend anyone doing this themself or just take it to some shop? Mine broke and im still deciding if I should fix it myself or take it in to a shop, shop is charging me about 100 plus buck to get it it fix. If I do it myself I could save some money.
Based on what I've seen here, I'd say take it to the shop.
Probably a broken LCD, a lose cable on your motherboard or a messed up connection on your motherboard. Unfortunately the last option seems most likely which will also mean it will cost you the most money. But hopefully it is option number one which is also not unlikely :)
Take it to a professional repair center(professional usually means not cheap :p) and let them have a look at it.
Good luck!
On the Tab 2 digitizers you need to make sure you get the correct REV screen. There is an 00, 01, 02, 03 and 04 located on the flex cable. I always disconnect the battery when doing this type of repair.
+Bobby Gorden Totally agree, and please dont use those metal contractor tools metal tools can cause short cut, plastic tool like pick guitar is more safe so you will not damage any, and remove the old 2 side black tape on the tablet before installing the screen or the screen will not stick well and you will probably have a little gap if you dont remove it !!
GUYS VERY IMPORTANT FACT THERE ARE 3 SCREEN TYPES, REV 2, REV 3, AND REV 4. the gold one is usually rev4 , it is important that you get the correct screen or the wrong rev number will not work, this number will be marked on the screen cable.
Thanx man it was a lot of help!
Hi I just want to add my two cents I was having trouble with my digitizer working after installation so I was assuming the digitizer was defective but after reading Dirk Smith comment ( THANK YOU DIRK SMITH ) I realized that I have the wrong digitizer since
I got a black ribbon instead of a golden ribbon like my digitizer has so I suggest to do the following:
1.- open your tablet and get the number written on the ribbon so you get the correct digitizer for your tablet. (my mistake was to order my digitizer first using the model number on the back of the case instead of open the tablet and getting the number stamped on the ribbon )
2.- Don’t take the wrapping off your new digitizer even the one inside until you test the digitizer first!!! This will make easy to return it in case it doesn’t work and you don’t have to mess with the glue on the digitizer ( don’t worry you digitizer will work even with all protectors in both sides of the digitizer) .
3.- for some reason my digitizer didn’t have written number on the ribbon ex: ( rev 01, rev02, rev03, rev 04 ) so I follow dirk advice and order the golden ribbon which came with the rev 02 number on the ribbon but even then it works with my tablet!!
I have to add that the digitizer that I order was for a Samsung model P5110 /P5100 and my tablet model is Samsung GT-P5113TS 16 GBI was reading on other post in this same comment that if you can find a digitizer for the P5113 this other models P5110/P5100 will fit this model too.
Hope this helps if your having problems with your digitizer and it doesn’t work after the installation.
wow, I think that's it!
lyon65 And If we have REV03, do the higher REV will work?
For example, If I put REV06 in remplacement of my old REV03 cracked, will it work?
If no, do you have solution to change the REV number for the REV06 work?
Thanks
Shawn, let me know if you post a video for tab 2 7.0, I have removed everything but the lcd, I don't know if you need the heat gun.
Would be a lot of help
I put the screen on with no problem. But now it won't power up. When I took the back off a small piece with a short black strap fell out. I watched your video and found that it is located near the power button and has a small square board that plugs into the board about 2 inches below the power button. Was the black strap attached or does it plug in? Please help. Thanks
Thank you for the video. It looks so easy but I'm sure it's not 😀 Thanks again.
Is this the same way to remove the screen from my daughters Samsung Galaxy tab 7in ? And where do you order the screens from ? Thanks Rob
I just be my cracked screen on my Samsung Galaxy could cry but thanks to you in nit gong to my question is, I only need the screen, can I get that on eBay? And do i purchase the replacement screen digitizer? What is the title of what I want? Thank you!!
thank you for posting this.
Thank you. It works perfectly.
What model is this? i did a digitizer replacement on the tab2 p5113 model and the digitizer was not responsive after the repair. I've done first generation tabs before and never had problems.
this was a very great help to me as my screen had been shattered. Unfortunately i have one problem, when im using my tablet now the touchscreen is unresponsive and it is severely annoying me. do you have any idea what it could be
+Ryan Macher Had the same problem myself just changed the screen on mine and now the touchscreen is unresponsive too
Is it the same proses for the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0? If it isn't can you post a video on replacing the screen for it please! Thanks
Thank you so much, great help.
What do you call the back cover exactly? Sorry but i don't want to miss something or do anything wrong.
i have tab 2 10.1", the tablet powers on but i cannot get past the touch screen, i just saw lately that the cable for the screen is damaged a little( has a small hole and a few dents in it) will replacing the screen make any difference? Any solutions? Thanks
I had the same problem, touchscreen is not responsive. Did you have an answer why it's happening?
I'd like to know how you did it. i bought a digitizer on ebay and they sent me a plastic wedge tool with it. the tool isnt working very well.
Where do you buy the replacement screens from?
greetings brandon, I need the name of the part of the screen (S/N #), I have not been able to find replacement parts.. thanks

I bought a replacement screen for the p5100 but since the numbers matched for the note 2 10.1 which was N8000 i bought it. Now the digitizer doesn't work. is it because I bought the worng part?

My wife brought me a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 P5100, we were attending a wedding I was setting on a chair, the tablet drop no more than 40 cm to the ground, shorty after when I check it I am getting a black screen. I tried holding down the power bottom, and the power and volume bottom together over, and over again, and the black screen will not go away, I only have the device a about two week now. How do I fixed this. I live in the caribbean, brought on amazon it just as costly to return.

for the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 the procedure is to replace the back cover first
There is also a REV.01. I've tried REV.01, REV.02, and REV.03 and none of them worked on my P5113. However the original cracked screen still works but there's no REV# written on it. Guess I'll look for this REV.04 that Dirk Smith mentioned
I have a Tab 2 GT-P5113TSYXAR I tested with REV1, REV2, REV3 and did not work I just need to try REV4 but i cant find not where to buy it. Can you help me with my problem plz.
I'm looking for REV 04 myself. Can't find it anywhere.
Felix Espinal there is no way to repair it?
Felix Espinal
Have to wait until suppliers get REV 04 digitizers in stock. I have one REV 04 and it is the original cracked screen but still works
I think I found a digitizer that will work. I matched the model# of the digitizer that works and it came up as a P5100 or P5110 digitizer. That Galaxy tab has a SIM card. I just ordered one and I'll post back to let you know if it works.
i have a same problem do you have a solution because me i don't have :-(
Is everything the same for galaxy tab 2 7.0
Im not sure yet someone told me maybe i got the wrong screen or installed it wrong but i have no idea im still trying to figure it out if you or anyone can help with this please let me know
how did you reach screen?
for anyone who wants to know aout it working for the galaxy tab 2 7.0, im doing it right
now so wish me luck!
My galaxy note 10.1 has messed its sound card how can i fix this?
This was so hard! I cut my fingers after shattering the glass into shreds when it only had a single long crack. but after 5 long hours (seriously~) it didn't work! I wanted to plug the flex cable in 1st to test but I couldn't seem to make it reach & then the glass just kept sticking so anyway, It acted exactly the same as the cracked screen, no response to touch!
Do you think it was a faulty digitizer or could it possibly be the clip thing that snapped off when I was trying to plugin the new flex cable back in the back? that tiny clip that moves up to release the cable or down to secure it in place, under the tape?? I still try to use the piece and stick it together w/the cable plugged in but I don't know if it does any good at all.
And then when I was trying to remove the new glass/digitizer thinking I hadn't placed it firm enough or centered, I ripped the new cable in half before I realized I was doing it! so now I guess I'll never know if it was a bad digitizer or I was a bad repair person!
Do you know what else could cause the tab to be unresponsive to touch? thanks for any advice!
+miamidecor sounds like you just messed it up
I just had a friend replace my screen and digitizer and now there's 2 zones of my screen that doesn't respond to my touch at all. Is this fixable? Or do I need to buy another digitizer? I don't wanna have to do that because I just bought this so called "working" tablet
Only replace digitizer.
r the step the same as on a 7.0 tab 2
I have the att 10.1 galaxy tab 2. Can someone tell me which screen I need to order?
Buy a p5113 model just to be safe. I did. Mine didn't have a sticky back though :(
Awesome!!
ENRIQUE, he used either a hair dryer or heat gun
Thanks
Would be great flu for your help, getting very confused when trying to order a new digitizer for my samsung galaxy tab 2.10.1 3G/WiFi the label on the digitizer says GT P5100. Been on amazon contacted sellers that list GT. P5100 3G/4G WiFi versions and they tell me its not compatible can you help me where I can buy the correct replacement? Thanks
e-bay was where I found mine and the 3G versions do not work on the WiFi only versions. Check out e-bay and message seller, if you are UK or ROI I can send the link of where I purchased my replacement digitizer.
Darren Barford Hey Darren I am trying to find a WIFI only digitiser in the UK can you advise me where you got yours?
well i did it thanks
Id be willing to bet the 7 wouldn't be much different. Hidan.
On line u can find a lot of places
If you value your device, you wont use a spackle blade and a box cutter to work on your electronics... you can order a toolkit specific for these types on repairs. The tools are small and compact, made of plastics that will not damage your device. They are also very affordable... and while your at it, if you plan on uploading your job to youtube, you can purchase a better camera so people can actually see exactly what you are doing.
Don't forget to remove the SIM and memory card before trying to remove the screen, else you may (like I did) break the memory card in half - DOH!
Hi, Hou can I fix the touch on my screen, it suddenly stopped working. Help Please
you have to replace the glass which has the touch sensors.
***** Thanks, I´ll try
***** what do you mean by "replace the glass which has the touch sensors"?
How do i know if the glass im going to buy has it or not?
Filth Paradise if it is a Tab 2 10.1, or pretty much any device that doesnt have a SUPER amoled display (a super amoled display has the outer glass, digitizer, and lcd all sandwhiched together. The Tab 2's display doesnt. If the phone were on and he took that shattered glass off you would still see the display because he only removed the outer "Gorilla Glass" (alkali-aluminosilicate glass) and digitizer, but not the lcd. The Gorilla Glass (outter protective glass that has the black rim and the words "Samsung") and digitizer are a single unit; the outer "Gorilla Glass" actually acts as a substrate to hold the digitizer.)
To answer your question simply, on a Tab 2 10.1 the outer glass that cracks has the "touch sensor" (a.k.a. the digitizer) permanently attached. On super amoled displays you have to replace the outer glass, the digitizer, and the lcd display if any one of the 3 go bad since they are all a single unit.
Andrew Delashaw wow thank you! you really taught me a lot in that single comment!
I tried to replace my cracked glass on my Tab 2.10.1 and It didn't work. the weird thing is that when it first cracked, 1 long crack, it still worked for a day or so and then it stopped responding to touch. sooo.. would you happen to have any idea?
I explained in more detail above if you have a minute.
Thank you!
I changed my screen of samsung galaxy tab 2 and after my touch screen don't work it is m instalation or may be a company failure excuse y english because i'm frenh loll
