Where do we just get the battery for the Tab S7 Plus
Holy cow. Who would dare attempt this?
Seriously, no one! LOL
This question is probably dumb but is the sheer heat from the IOpener able to crack the screen?
Well I don't know about anybody else but I'm absolutely cacking it. ($@$*!&%& myself)
My galaxy Tab S7 plus just literally stop charging I've tried multiple new cables magnetic cables nothing works it won't charge now and it's 0% so I have no choice but to attempt this.
I wonder how much extra would cost if I took this to a shop and got them to repair it for me.
Bear in mind I spent about 800 quid on the tablet.
I mean they've covered every step beautifully, what can go wrong? Lol
Would have been creatively added a video tutorial.
This is insane. No offense! I'm seriously just going to buy a new tablet. No one I took my tablet to would even touch it with a 10-foot pole. Why did they make this so complicated?! Oh, so I would give up and buy a new one. Yep!
