Einleitung
Follow this guide to replace the screen and remove the fingerprint scanner cable in your Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ 5G.
Note: this guide is for the 5G version. For the Wi-Fi version, click here.
The screen has sensitive components, so there's a risk you'll damage it during the procedure. Be sure to apply plenty of heat and be extremely careful during the prying stage.
Before you begin, refer to the Samsung Self-Repair document for safety information.
For your safety, fully discharge the battery before disassembling your tablet. This reduces the risk of fire if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair. If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.
Note: Retaining water resistance after the repair will depend on how well you reapply the adhesive, but your device will lose its IP (Ingress Protection) rating.
Some photos in this guide are from a different model and may contain slight visual discrepancies, but they won't affect the guide procedure.

Compare your new replacement part to the original part—you may need to transfer remaining components or remove adhesive backings from the new part before you install it.
To reassemble your device, follow the instructions in reverse order and perform the opposite actions, e.g., "reattach" instead of "removing." Skip steps that use heating and prying, and pay close attention to the 📌 bullets as you work through the steps.
After you've completed the repair, download the Samsung Members App from the Galaxy Store or the Play Store, and follow the Samsung Self-Repair document (beginning page 10) to make sure your device is fully functional.
Take your e-waste to an R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler.

Will the screen for the Verizon 5G version work with other 5G variants of the tablet such as the TMobile?
Hi Keith.
Yes, all of the 5G versions should be compatible, especially the screen.
Sincerely,
Alex
Is the Galaxy Cal app backwards compatible with for example the s20fe? Or will this avaliable in newer updates?
Hi Stefan.
The Galaxy Cal app should work for all Samsung devices that have an optical fingerprint sensor.
Sincerely,
Alex
@alexdk I have test it on a Galaxy A32 but the app says that's its no compatible (eu) device. But the app was working on a galaxy s21 (eu). Is there a possibility to confirm this with Samsung? Thank you for your replay!
Hi Stefan.
It turns out that the Galaxy Cal app only supports the S20, S21, and Tab S7+ models right now. Samsung plans to include more devices with time. I have updated the linked guides to reflect that—thank you for your feedback!
Will this be compatible with WiFi Version T970?
Hi there.
Yes, the screens should be compatible with one another.
