In this guide, you will learn how to remove and replace your front facing camera on your Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. A broken front camera makes for difficult selfies or video chats. There are a couple of prerequisites to get out of the way first!
-
-
Place the bottom of the tablet towards you.
-
Remove the 4.1mm screws near the charge port with a Tri-Wing screwdriver.
-
If there are plastic tabs covering these screws, use pointed tweezers to pry the tabs out.
-
-
-
Start in the middle of the left side and insert a plastic opening tool between the rear panel and the front panel assembly.
-
Carefully run the plastic opening tool along the left and top edge to pry the rear panel away from the rest of the device.
-
-
-
Using the plastic opening tools, continue to carefully run along the right and bottom edge, and then lift the screen from the back panel.
-
-
-
Flip up the retaining flaps on the ZIF connectors that secure the three large ribbon cables.
-
Carefully pull the three ribbon cables from their sockets on the motherboard.
-
-
-
Lift the edge of the battery up with your finger or a spudger.
-
Detach the battery by holding the motherboard down while gently lifting the battery up.
-
-
-
Use the spudger to pry up on orange connection. This is the connection to the front facing camera.
-
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
Access denied! The screws near the port are covered by buttons. I wedged a pointed screw and hammered "gently" until they popped out. Problem solved!

What can I do if my model DOESN'T HAVE ANY SCREWS? It has a loose LCD cable so SOME of my colours are all mixed up. This is really frustrating so please help

My model has no screws and doesn't look like the one pictured here. It's a model SM-T580.

Be careful removing the two screw plugs by the 30 pin connector. They are easy to scratch. I couldn’t get the plugs out with my tool kit and finally removed them with the point of an exacto knife.
Behind the two plugs are sticky pads that will need to be handled carefully and saved for reassembly.
If you order a tool kit online, be sure it has a Y1 tri-wing screwdriver. The one in my kit was not Y1 and would not remove the screws.
I had to order a new screwdriver.

if your model doesn’t have these screws, it’s probably ok to just skip this step. at least that’s what i did on model gt-p7500, and that repair was successful (battery replacement). Janine, a friend asked me to fix his Tab where that had happened when he tried to replace the battery himself… i just took out the 3 big cables over the battery, and re-inserted them, and that fixed the problem. you should try that if you haven’t already..
