Galaxy Tab S 10.5 Kamera austauschen

It is not necessary to remove just the white part under penalty of breaking the pins, it is necessary to remove the back with the colored outline of the tablet

Both plastic tools broke within the first two minutes of use. Had to resort to a narrow conventional flat screwdriver.

This is the wrong method to open it! You have to open it beetween the front-Display and the golden rim.

I’ve taken the back cover off my Samsung tablet, and in the process I have torn one of the little orange plastic connectors that are attached to the back cover. The connector I’ve damaged is the second one in on top left in the picture above. Can you please tell me if I need to replace this before I can get the tablet to work?

Thanks.

If you remove just the back cover - which to the uninitiated does look less scary than trying to get between the bezel and the display - you will destroy the tiny plastic rivets that lock the cover onto the bezel. More importantly, you will then find that getting to the parts you need to replace is rendered impossible because they will be hidden under the bezel, which of course will still be in place. So the correct way to take this tablet apart is the more challenging way i.e. separate the front display from the bezel and rear. But with care and the right tools this is still not too difficult. And if you are in any doubt about this, it is worth pointing out that in all of the photos below from Step 4 onwards, the work shown is taking place with the bezel removed. There is nothing written in this guide to indicate that this had to be done.
