Fun fact about "made in China" – I only use Xiaomi phones, my employer hands out Xiaomi phones to everyone and I recently got a Xiaomi air purifier as well. Cheap and top quality. Some of the best devices that I ever used.
Use an LTT ratcheting screwdriver to make removing the screws even more annoying.
Retaining pins? Or inconvenient tear starters…
The electric screwdriver is useful with longer screws that need a lot of turns before tightening down. Small electronic devices where size “matters” the screws will be as short as possible
Dave, yeah, I just did a new battery and type c connector on my LG V-60. This thing is built like a tank. I'm throughly amazed at the engineering to get everything into this format. Dale
Was the cost of the new cable at least reasonable?
On side note, it's not only kids that are into BOTW!
Happy Kids ='s Happy Wife .. Happy Wife ='s Quiet Life Cheers Dave
10:04 … Ahh, the Australian model, I see.
What a BS tablet. Wanna fix something internal ? risk breaking the screen… gosh
Oh wow, first time I see a tablet with screws from the lcd panel in. Usually the back plate is just a press fit with some optional glue which once taken off gives access to the screws. This is backwards from the other galaxy tabs and co I took apart. So weird.
You obviously haven't pulled a modern day crapple phone screen off… wanker!
Hey Dave da "engineer" how about you don't play with domestic market crap because you know jack shit about it & I do it most days in between my mechanical business & you're an epic failure at both!… How is ya missin Nissin (trade joke) goin'?… another bad decision?… Because the CVT gearboxes in them do the dumb regularly because there shit & there are only a few stupid tranny blokes I of who would even consider just looking it & then tell you what I just said it's crap after it dumps (if their honest) n get rid now.
How much did the stealership rip you a new one….. Big time HA!… That's what idiots do!
The same thing almost happened to mine, I use it for waze/navigation in the car in a mount, one day the sun was hot enough that while driving the screen separated. I ended up just using small binder clips on either side (its really only ever used in the car, and gets put away in a cool place behind the passenger seat when not in use)
Rule of repair #38: Inverse plastic sounds. If the plastic sounds like it broke, it didn't. However if the plastic sounds like it didn't break, it did.
I suggest gluing it down with B-7000 glue.
Where did you find the spare?
A manual screwdriver gives you more feel of the torque when assembling it too. You lucked out, the battery was not covering the broken cable. Go light on the glue and tape, you'll be glad you did the next time you have to take it apart.
Nice fix! Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
Thanks, Dave, I got one of those free w/shattered screen. I should get on it before parts shoot up. Great to see what's inside!
Have the 2019 8" model of the Tab A. Solid little thing, runs LineageOS a treat. Definitely recommend a sturdy case for it. Unicorn Beetle makes a tough one, but, the built-in stand will maaaaybe last a week with kids handling it. Other than that, it's a tank of a shell for the Galaxy Tabs.
Regarding power-on, in the past I had issues with a Tab 2 10.1 tablet that would not charge and not power on after being off for a long time. I was able to 'fix' it by using a non-Samsung 3A charger and after a short time it started charging. I actually rarely use this TAB 2 now but I keep it near my phone and charge it at the same time so the battery doesn't go flat and cause the same issue again.
Yeeey Dave doing phone/tablet repair 🙂 Nice 😊
Companies don't put screws in devices, older engineers who are set in their ways do that. Be thankful it wasn't some younger yuppie engineer who designed it with (now the norm) adhesive strips everywhere to make it even harder to open and cost less to produce.
The front fell off!
I don't know if I have that same model or not, but my parents gave me one of those. I used it for a while with their cell plan, and then that got cancelled so I just don't use it today. Mine is cellular.
Yeah, painful… my Tab S5e also had a ton of small screws to take out.
One time, it was like some 2 in the evening, I was messing around with it for the nth time (mine had a broken screen, but I was trying to make it work via DeX with a TV I had laying around)… somehow I pressed something that the thing started loudly beeping and beeping…. xD I had to disassemble the whole thing in a hurry to take the speakers or battery out. xD
Buttons were doing nothing, it wasn't taking anything from an external keyboard, and I didn't know what else to do.
Anyways, nice job!
