Well, I know what I did wrong. I thought I was super careful, but I damaged the black connector. (Please pay extra attention to the red warning area in Gunzl’s instructions.) It separates from the board extremely easy. My husband was worried about my taking on this task. I know what I did wrong, but that doesn’t help the fact that I will be purchasing another tablet for him. I’m not sure I will purchase another Samsung, but perhaps all the tablets has such fragile inner workings.
Don’t worry, you’re not the only one! :(
Regarding Step 4, Take note of the red warning comment! Very easy to pull up the connector off the board!!!
Unfortunately I just that because I didn’t hold down the connectors with tweezers (or something) and then botched an attempted reflow of the solder, costing even more time and money! :(
