Thank you so much. I dropped my tab on a hard surface for the first time recently. The back button and recent button quit working. Your video plus the battery replacement video instructed how to remove the back and plug the loose cable connector back in. Now that it's fixed, I'll be ordering a battery. Needs it.

Great to be shown how to do this properly. Thank you.

Please what is the shiny square metal just below the battery. It heats up so much whenever battery is connected to the tab. Tab cannot come on. Unknowingly Plugged a probably defective charger to the charging port and the tab went dead with burning smell.

9.7 pleasee

Mine is the tablet S2 black which has a back cover you have to take off. It's much easier to do and you don't risk screwing up your display.

[@freddiemercury8982]

Does repairing the motherboard losing the data inside such as pictures?

[@Fixez]

it's possible but difficult to confirm. Sorry about that.

[@iLoveTaeyeonSNSD]

Is it the same for the 9.7" variant?

[@Fixez]

The process is very similar but not exactly the same.

[@backgroundlistener]

Fixez.com do you have a video showing how to do it on the 9.7?

[@snippits75]

Excellent video!
I just bought a Galaxy Tab S2 gold. My wife is going to love it on Xmas day. I will keep you guys in mind to do the repair for me if it needs a new battery.
