Einleitung
Use this guide to replace any or all of the loudspeakers in your Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+.
The loudspeaker assembly is comprised of four speakers that are located on each corner of the device.
There is a significant chance that you may break the unreinforced and fragile display panel during this procedure. Be sure to apply plenty of heat and be extremely careful during the prying stage.
For your safety, discharge the battery below 25% 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.
Some photos show the loudspeakers being replaced individually, but, if you follow the steps in order, all four loudspeakers should be removed.
You'll need replacement adhesive in order to complete this repair.
