Make sure you purchase the correct kit for your Samsung Galaxy Tab model. The wrong kit may not have the right battery or tools. If you do not have a plastic pry tool, you can use any thin piece of plastic, such as a guitar pick, or a thin piece of plastic cut from a soda bottle. [1] X Research source
Keep in mind that the clips that attach the back cover are easy to break, so go slowly and carefully. Be careful not to tear the microphone cable when you separate the front panel from the top left corner of the Galaxy Tab.
If your Samsung Galaxy Tab model has ribbon connectors, make sure you don’t place the battery over the ribbon connectors.
Warning: If the ribbon cables are not firmly seated, it will cause performance problems with your device.
