Best instructions vid. I've seen for ages. There was no messing about, straight in straight out (or Visa versa). Excellent well done sir, thank you tons!
Absolutely excellent video! Very clear and right to the point and also sped up the longer process to get back to the point. This helped me with my little ones tablet and save me much money just buying a battery instead of buying a new tablet. Definitely subscribing for this quality content.
Great!!!! thanks to this video I was able to replace the battery of the same tablet! took a lot of force, you have to very careful when taking the cables off and putting them back in !!
I'm glad to come across this video: I've had my Samsung Galaxy A Tablet since December 2017, and it's charging very, very slowly. I will be getting a battery in the near future.
Thanks for these instructions. It's nice to see that older devices are quite easy to repair. You even still get new batteries and when installing TWRP and LineageOS on the device it is still quite useful.
PLEASE add a warning on 2 topics: the blade must be inserted on the side of the case, not around the glass. and the battery connector is very fragile. better to lift the tape carefully!!!!!!!
I'm enjoying the device with LineageOS 18.1 (Android 11) (there is even a lineage build based on Android 12) and thanks to this guide I am enjoying a fresh battery!
Thanks, just did mine. You are right, the tools supplied are of no good what so ever, and had to use a kitchen knife. Unfortunately the new battery still takes hours and hours and hours to charge, despite trying a few different chargers
Thanks for the video. When i exchanged my battery, the end of the white flat flex cable with the 2 blue ends cannot go into the anker anymore. I think you called it the charging cable. do you know how it is called and where to order it?
Can u do a video on fixing it when dropped on the back and the screen is black with colours cause mine dropped yesterday and I'm trying to fix it and noone has made a video on how to fix it please i beg you
Just 1 question. I was looking for your SD card & didn't see it. Should it be removed before starting the process or does it matter? Thanks for showing this. What I thought would be a hard job looks rather easy. Now to Amazon to order the battery. 😊🖐🏼
Thank you very very much, wow. So very easy. I even cheated by extremely carefully sliding the battery out under the the two connected cables, then replacing it, without removing the cables. Small pick tools are your friend. My question is why are there magnets all over along the edges?
Good video 👍My battery only charges up to 85% and / or loses 10% capacity in a few seconds. But I don't think I will replace the battery. The 2016 Tab A is quiet old, no more software support and slow compared to a modern 21 / 22 Tablet
@@BroonParker Just google "Samsung Galaxy Tab A 2016 custom rom". If you never did it on any device before, there are plenty of instructions online/on youtube. It seems complicated but it's not. And it is really worth it, my tablet is still running strong. Actually better than my new Samsung phone on stock rom.
Video was really helpful and managed to change the battery quite easily (after struggling to get the back off) but now the tablet won’t turn on! Any suggestions please?
Im hving trouble removing the tiny screws, the tool kit I received came whith several screw drivers. I found one that worked on two screws but the rest are not coming out. And I'm afraid of stipping them. Any suggestions?
hello, yeah, i'm very late but does this tablet have a reset button after taking back the backplate? I have my old childhood tablet which doesn't turn on and I'm curious if it has a reset button, maybe it'll work.
Perfect video, changed my battery, all working fine.... except... I found a tiny spring, about 15mm long and about .25mm in diameter. I actually found it stuck on one of the magnets but cannot see or find a place where it came from or belongs!! Any help appreciated!!!
@@WeRepair Thank you for that prompt reply. The tablet is working beautifully without the little spring! I have a feeling it attached itself to the magnet during manufacture and must have gone unnoticed. Stay safe and thanks again...
My battery is, slow to charge, icon comes up but after many hrs it doesn't increase much and the silver L shaped component on the motherboard right next to the battery cable gets REALLY HOT... The battery itself doesn't. Is it worth buying a new battery or is it likely to be anything on the motherboard?

Same thing happened to me, I guess. I never even saw the little black tab, but it's not there. lol. Did you find a solution? I see there is no reply to your comment.
@@debbieguest1749 no I didn't find a solution. Local shop said £70 to send away and have that whole terminal replaced. They put some non conductive tape over it which held it in place enough and it accepting charge so it's ok I think😁
Yes unfortunately the whole connector has to be replaced. Try "the computer room" in Nottingham they do a mail in service for soldering. Very good guys.
@@nigelackroyd7991 If you still have the part and nothing is broken that part can be put back in place , it has a little nub each end that go into oles on the fixed part . Its a bit of a delicate job but very possible
I started on a corner. There are several little tools for removing the back so as I got a section loose I slid 1 between the opening & did that until it was separated far enough to help prying it apart.
@@WeRepair Well I removed the back before watching any videos and never really thought about the gentle part. Got it with my bayonet and a bit of angling, but managed to remove it without any damage to the screen or electronics
Hey so My tablet, the same model shown, doesnt turn on without it being plugged up. Even when its like 70 it keeps rebooting over and over again till i plug it up. Is it a battery problem?
Yes its more than likely the battery. Try these guys: www.replacebase.co.uk/?awraf=6F545D395F7224147AA01 That link will give you £5 off your 1st purchase.
What Happens If You Remove the Touchscreen Digitizer While the Tablet is Still Turned On? I'm replacing an unresponsive touchscreen digitizer so I am unable to power down the unit.
I have done mine and it took about the same amount of time . Once you get past the thinking of ''oh crap im going to break it'' point while getting the back off its easy , just needs a little care with the connectors

Very clear and helpful video. The hardest part was getting the back on and off. The battery I ordered from Amazon came with helpful tools. Thanks!

Yes. It is super important, otherwise the glass will crack.

Don't use the screw drivers that came with a kit, they are usually rubbish. But a decent set and you should be fine

It’s not too bad, you just need to be careful of damaging the screen.
Sexy video, thanks homie! :)
my tab wont open and when i tried to charge it the back part overheats, is it a battery problem? should i replace it?
More than likely a battery problem yes.

What Happens If You Remove the Touchscreen Digitizer While the Tablet is Still Turned On? I'm replacing an unresponsive touchscreen digitizer so I am unable to power down the unit.
You could potentially fry the new parts, disconnected the battery if you can.

No it wont
@@WeRepair ok
So there are no screws at all in the casing these days!
Nope none, very easy to get in to. Just have to be careful not to damage the glass on the screen.
Thank you very much from a 'technophobe,'

This tab is in sri lanka
Look like he did this with no problem🤔 how long did it really take before he made his video because it won't open.
It is tricky to do but after doing quite a lot of them I can normally do this 1st time :)
I have done mine and it took about the same amount of time . Once you get past the thinking of ''oh crap im going to break it'' point while getting the back off its easy , just needs a little care with the connectors
A lot of force, you have to be Arnold Schwartzenegger, and most of the spudgers are bent after.

What's the cost?
If you head over to replace base website that will give you the current cost. From memory it was around £20 for the part
Where can I order the battery from? Price?
I buy all my parts from ReplaceBase.

ey is it toxic inside of a battery? when u unwrap it?
I would imagine so.
