[@FlankerTanker]

Video might have been made 4 years ago - but I followed it in 2023 and fixed my A6 pad - just disconnect the battery and it all came back to life - thank you..

[@Galactic_encounters-nf]

can i have one for myself please😢any of u willing to give please.

[@onwuahavictoria]

Was it your first time trying it because mine and I am a bit scared

[@dawngrant69]

WAS ABOUT TO THROW IT!! THANKS SO MUCH! I FIXED IT AND I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ELECTRONICS!, MY SON IS HAPPY AGAIN

[@scottjames5843]

My wife has this tablet and she lives on it. I was really worried when her tablet went down because right now I couldn't afford to get it fixed or get a new one. When she gets off work, we will talk about how her day went and then she would go straight to her tablet. I did what you said about the battery and her tablet came back on. My wife has been treating me like a hero ever since I got her tablet back to working. Thank you so much.

[@howardlamborn3971]

You are a genius! This is exactly what was wrong with my tablet. The ribbon was slightly pulled out. Thank you!

[@genmysters]

My friend... THANK YOU SO MUCH..... This tablet has not been working for a year. My son will be so excited when he wakes up tomorrow morning.

[@jyeh3996]

How is he now?

[@tsmk9952]

@@jyeh3996 GOOD QUESTION

[@bobleveille3060]

You saved my wife's sanity during self quarantine! She dropped her tablet last night. Your instructions are spot on. My only difficulty was getting the back off of the tablet. The fix required seating the video cable, then removing the battery cable for 20 seconds to get it to reset. Powered right up. Thanks for taking the time to post this!

[@mphasonkhoma9451]

I don't know if it would work

[@carlocchio15]

GREAT - This is exactly what I was needing: the shop man told me he wanted € 40 to just diagnose my tablet, so I looked for your tutorial and fixed it all. Thanks a lot, greetings and Respect from Italy!

[@alaintelsync]

Add a medal to your chest, sir. Probably saved my tablet from being shreddered... many thanks man.

[@mihpan]

Oh my God! My daughter has not used her tablet for over a year and today I stumbled over your video. It was on of the connectors on the tablet as well. Thank you millions for your tutorial, you literally made my day, and hers! THANK YOU!

[@kikig9234]

Thank you!! My son's tablet has just been sitting in a box for years & now it's working!!! Lifesaver! He's very happy & can't wait to use it finally! 😁😁

[@opal177]

I can by no stretch of imagination understand why anybody would give Sorin´s excellent videos a thumbs down. Thank you very much, Sorin, for sharing your knowledge and experience.

[@Darth-.-Vaper]

I'm going to guess it's because his hands are off camera for the most important part. Releasing the plastic clips. I've watched both of his videos and don't see where the clips are or how to release them. I've spent the last 40 minutes mangling my digitizer, metal+plastic pry tools, and fingers and all I've done it partly separate the digitizer. And if you haven't tried to take this specific model apart please don't reply just to save face.

[@mmccune2882]

I was helpless until I watched your video. You demonstrated the fix so very well that I had no trouble performing the fix in no time at all. Works perfectly! Thank you!

[@jerihooker4803]

You just made my day. I'm so happy!!! I was so scared to open it that I would have spent $250 on another until watching your video. Thanks for the courage I needed to take that step. It wasn't easy getting the back off but when I did I followed your lead and all it needed was to unplug the battery and reconnect. Its now working beautifully. I have the 8 inch version as well that hasn't worked in over a year. Guess what I'm doing next:) Thank you so much

[@deonfitzgerald2604]

So did the 8inch tablet return to life? Cheers from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺👍🏻

[@rich9158]

Hello Sir, thank you so much for your tutor session. My tablet was blank, no display, no power. I opened the tablet as you suggested and re-connected the battery connector and PRESTO! It works now!!!!! Thanks so much!!!!

[@Yet_Another_Steve]

I've been trying to fix my son's T700 for a few weeks as it wouldn't turn on or charge, just no response, even recovery or download mode. Tried a new charge port and a new battery. Nothing. I saw this video and disconnected/reconnected the screen, which is a snap fit, not a ribbon cable. Put the battery back in and plugged it in - the screen came on & it started charging! You have saved me the price of a new tablet and I've subscribed. Thank you.

[@TMulls74]

God bless you! Almost threw 2 Samsung Tabs away today. Glad I found your video first! Thanks & Merry Christmas 🎄

[@jt_myth]

My tab had been dead for 2 years until I found this video. Thanks!

[@Covid-yt5dr]

Mine has been dead since 2018

[@joriestimmers9172]

Awesome advice. Thanks so much. It was a loose screen connection. Took me only 10 minutes after watching your instructions. My son is very grateful.

[@ragheedeleyan429]

U are seriously a gem, I have this same type for a friend to fix, his daughter dropped it one time and it won't start anymore, u good sir were the key to fix it, and how silly the problem was. Thank you a million times!

[@Galactic_encounters-nf]

can i have one for myself please😢any of u willing to give please. An sm-t585.please.

[@SteevilKinevil]

Fantastic. My daughters tablet went off this morning. I followed your instructions and exactly the same problem - the screen connector had come out a tiny bit. Pushed it back in and its working perfectly again. Many thanks! :))

[@potatoe6737]

I had to edit my comment. THANK YOU SO MUCH! It didn't work on my first attempt last night, but when I tried doing the steps earlier. MY TABLET WORKED! Thank you so much! Saved me a lot of money.

[@derianlesinski3199]

Tried every hard reset method possible, came across this video and decided to test the screen ribbon method and it worked like a charm. Thanks for the help.

[@RSiWORKS]

Daughters Tab was dead and she pointed me to your video. Same problem with the screen plug. Thank you so much, my daughter is very happy again...

[@itsmeiniaku]

OMG it works. Thank you so much. I have a Samsung tablet and been dead for years. When i took it to the repairer, he was ignorant and just asked me to buy one because he think it would cost half of the price of the new device. Then this tablet just sitting there in the back of the driver seat in the car for year until today i checked it again and watch your video and voilla it works.

[@aryhandoko6772]

Just broke my three cheap phone screen opener when I tried to open the case. But it all paid off!!... The tab screen turned on and really glad I've found your video. Thanks a lot mate!

[@Usernamebreh]

You’re the man!!!i I followed everything you did and now the tablet works again.

[@MrBgreenberg]

Just a repair kit of tools from walmart, battery connection was loose and I am back in business. Thank You.

[@TromCrabst]

Wow, thank you so much for this! The screen connection at 5:40 was the solution for me! Much to both my and his surprise, I was able to fix my father-in-law's tablet thanks to this video!

[@jessicap5937]

Thank you ❤️ oh man I was loosing my mind because my tablet just stopped.. you made this so simple and easy and even with small children running around I was able to fix my device. I'm so happy 😊 thank you!

[@mattentitma8247]

Nice - saved me from buying a new tablet for my children. One of my children jumped on the tablet and after that it stopped functioning. No sign of any activity whatsoever. After opening the tablet I saw the reason. Battery wiring had jumped out of connection nest. Thank you!

[@dongucinski5667]

Thanks much! Our tablet wouldn't display anything, so we felt there was nothing to be lost by following your suggestions here. And indeed, the tablet lives again. Thanks for posting this video.

[@CliftonSantiago]

YOU ARE A FREAKING GENIUS!!!!!!!!! My daughters tablet wasn't working for months. I thought I would have to get it serviced. I found your video and was able to fix it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU

[@ahmadissa8607]

This is the definition of Experiance, good job Sorin.

[@DrozChann3L]

[@sierraralph8641]

Finally got my tablet started after 3 years! THANK YOU!

[@TonyJPaixao]

You're awesome. I watched your video and tried for the first time. I didn't work. Then I've decided to take a second look at it and tried once more... Bingo!!! My tablet is back to life. Many many Thank you for helping me and so many other fulks around! You're the man!!

[@purrungas2012]

Thanks so much friend, got home from work and my little one tells me his tablet is not working any more😡 gave him a speech about taking care of his things, took a big breath and occurred to me to check KZbin...it is back on now, my battery cable was off by maybe 1/64 ....top of the line video

[@rolobart4874]

My tablet was showing the same problems you suggested. I followed your straightforward guide and it worked. Brilliant!!Thankyou very much!!

[@chandrakumargalaju1283]

This is my first comment in any youtube video. I cannot stop commenting on this video because you have illustrated solution to my brick tab which give new life into my Tab. Thank you so much... God bless you.

[@adamholowat7784]

My Samsung Tablet was bumped off my coffee table into a carpeted floor. I picked it up and it would not turn on. I watched your video. I reset the battery riben and that did the trick. Thank you so much.

[@UKRANINSKY]

I have the same issue with my tablet, after pulling it apart I secured the ribbon with more tape, and now is working again. I was about to go and buy a new one today. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

[@tsmk9952]

i had a tablet that wasnt working for like 2 years , today quarantined as i am i said why the hell not try and watch your video now my tablet works ,THANK YOU MANN

[@jjppres]

Thanks! Same problem with my tablet. I did what you did. Plugged it in and now it works again. Thanks again.

[@20blivious2]

you sir are a life saver, I had some important documents in my tablet and watching this video really helped me fix my problem

[@andrewgalpin888]

devastated when my tablet wouldn't seem to turn on last night, use it every single day, followed this video to the t and it fixed it, the screen must have been disconnected slightly, thank you so much man!x

[@OnJackTauBeck]

Can't thank you enough, my 7-year-old tablet had this issue and I was thinking it was dead. I followed your steps and figured out the same problem in the screen ribbon, check as well that my battery grew a little bit. Thanks for your videos!

[@almondie5792]

My daughter's Tab A wouldn't come on. I saw your video, ordered an electronics prying kit for $10, rewatched this video ... problem fixed! (it was the screen cable out about 0.5mm). Thanks so much, my daughter is going to be very happy!

[@SageMoonstone10]

Thankyou thankyou thankyou SOOOOO much!!! I panicked and thought my tablet was completely broke and thought I would have to buy new one. I really appreciate you made this video. I got my tablet working again by doing all you did. Thankyou so much! 😁 😁

[@lollipopstickershop455]

Thank you! Because of your video we were able to fix my 6 year old's tablet that we thought was irreparable! :) :) :)

[@kevinodonoghue7091]

Really helpful. My screen connector was off by a millimetre. Pushed it in further and my tablet is now working again. Thank you very much for your help.

[@AdrianDickson_BEnvSc]

Thanks for the advice! I had a flickering screen and the battery would not charge. Opened it up as you suggested, used a plastic bike tire leaver, disconnected the battery, power cycled to discharge the motherboard, then reconnected the battery, closed it up and plugged in. Now taking charge. Thanks champion!

[@gregoryweinert7424]

This totally worked. The same model, screen connector was loose - saved me from having to send this in for repair! Thanks!

[@monBon100]

I fixed my tablet... Twice Thanks to you!!!!! Subscribing!!!!

[@TheHitlister]

Thanks my brother, my wife's tablet was doing the same thing, did exactly what you showed by unplugging the battery and re adjusting the screen cable pins and done. Thank you again. Much love from Australia.

[@CanadianClub]

You advice saved my day. My T580 is alive after resecuring all the connections. It was in some kind of frozen lightening rod charging display state. Thanks.

[@bekivermeulen25]

Thank you so much for these step by step instructions! I followed them step by step with a couple of butter knives and tweezers and I managed to fix mine😊 I'm so pleased it's finally fixed even though I did manage to take a few chunks out of the cover with my butter knives but I am just so pleased it's up and working again. Thank you so much!

[@Femtophysiker]

nothing is more joyful, when you notice the charging sign on the display after the repair...great video...

[@fryser007]

You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar... You helped me fix my Tablet! :D

[@gamingwithmatt3598]

thanks a lot, i had my son complaining about his broken tablet, check in a lot of useless channels, until i discovered this one, actually i didn't have tools at the moment, then, i used a knife( not recommended) but it works. you have won a new subscriber.

[@staceyhoran8443]

You are awesome!!! I did the battery and then then the loose screen connection, like you said. 10 minutes tops!! I have not mechanical or IT abilities!!! So happy. of course I prayed first. Thanks so much!!!

[@ff7extra]

Thanks for this video. Unpluging the battery for a minute brought my Samsung tablet back to life!

[@satoshinakamoto7950]

Absolutely amazing lol held on to my tablet for years and decided to try and figure out what's going on with it. Ran across this video and had the same issue. Thank you for posting this!

[@James347rfc]

Brilliant video. Fixed my Tab A 10.1 that had the exact same issue as shown here, a loose screen connector. Wouldn't have been able to do it without this tutorial.

[@jennaorlowski9228]

I fixed my charging issue by just disconnecting the battery and holding the power button for a minute with no battery connected, worked like a charm. Typing this review on it.

[@petrakupcikvalcharova16]

You are my hero:) My father found this video and fix my tablet:) Thank you so much for saving my loving device and my money.

[@MindYourBusiness1970]

Science grows with good questions , not directly with knowledge , so do we thank you Sorin to give us the opportunity to be curious

[@justinbacon9138]

Worked like a charm, thanks! Tablet had been broke for a year, just found it while cleaning and did a quick KZbin search. This fixed it perfectly. Super grateful!

[@jw197437]

Thankyou, I was all set to throw my tablet in the bin until I watched your video.. it's all fixed now! Again thankyou so much.. your a star 🌟

[@Galactic_encounters-nf]

can i have one for myself please😢any of u willing to give please.

[@jjwm1451]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I've been looking through pages and pages and nothing helped me! Then this video did. I was giving up all hope for my tablet thinking it was really gone, but then your tutorial worked! THANK YOU!!!

[@JConTwoWheels]

What a legend, the ribbon trick worked a dream. I was about to bin the tablet until i stumbled across this vid. Thank You

[@rickstar171]

thanks, just recovered my T80, greatest KZbin video of all time

[@jonopaul1ify]

Worked!!! thank you. My daughter will be so happy when she wakes up.

[@raisingkingston]

It was the screen cable...this hasn't work in over a year. THANK YOU for sharing this tutorial!! I am so glad I didn't pay to have this fixed or just give up on it and throw it away.

[@natemoore6921]

You good sir are awesome! This was exactly the issue my sons tablet had and what a simple fix! Thank you for the time you put into making this video! 👍👍👍👍

[@guzmanfamily5051]

Seriously, genius!!! I was about to throw this tablet out and just thought maybe I'll try KZbin and here this man gave me an easy fix. 🤯

[@BedgroveBunch]

This solved my problem, thank you so much! I first tried all of the usual solutions (hold volume down + power buttons for 15 seconds, etc.) but nothing worked, then I opened the case and followed this video. The screen connection cable had slipped out a bit, almost identically to how it was shown here. Once I pushed it further in, reconnected the battery cable and connected the charger, it all worked. Brilliant!

[@landonklemme]

Super helpful video sir! This was the exact problem my son's tablet was having. Thanks for saving me time and money!

[@c.d.j300]

Thank you so much! I was able to fix my tab A by unplugging both cables and plugging them up again making sure they're lined up. Finally got my tab back after 9 months of sitting.

[@MrStoney74]

Thank you very much. It took me 5 minutes to find your video, another 5 to watch until the interesting point and then 5 to repair the tablet! This is great! And I really like your videos, easy to understand, easy to follow, always very professional, you're one of my favourite ressource for electronic repair things!

[@taniawittleton9329]

Thanks so much. I had tried every other piece of advice on the net. I did this (much more agriculturally than you) and it worked. YOU ARE AWESOME.

[@rogerdadd636]

Thank you so much. My tablet had locked up and your video showing how to disconnect the battery has let me fix it!

[@klwthe3rd]

It's sad that electronics manufacturers are making their designs so poor that an expanding battery can cause a ribbon cable to pull out. Sorin shows us that most of the time it's not something very difficult to repair. I really enjoy when it's the motherboard or something complicated because then you really get to see Sorin's talents at work. Smiles.

[@wendynicholson3159]

Thank you, I followed your instructions and my grandsons tablet now works fine! Very grateful!

[@snubbelbuff1471]

@4:03 With a lot of Samsung tablets/phones you can hold Power + Volume Down to make a 'soft battery removal' and restart the phone. It has saved me many times.

[@g.johnson930]

Very good job. Your cool and calm approach to repairs is refreshing!

[@wecansavenergy]

Thanks very much for taking the time to prepare this for us. It was exactly the same fault as my friend's tablet. With Your help, this was an easy fix. Obviously a common fault on this model. 🙄

[@acsweeney]

Fixed my Tab! Exactly what was wrong with mine. Had a little issue getting the case off, and back on, but it is up and running. Thanks A lot!

[@fatherloz2800]

Thank you very very very much, i followed exactly your steps and i fixed my daughter's tablet, the video wire was barely off :) She is very happy now, cheer!

[@anothermort]

Excellent video very straight forward. Thank you saved me buying a new tablet. I had the same problem as the video, the display cable had come out very slightly. All fixed now thanks to you. What a star.

[@dims663]

Thank you so much, shop man asked me $240 Fix this. You saved me $$$. Thank you.

[@mrCarlboro]

Very good video. The problem 8s fixed! I didn't use my tablet for 3 years and now he's charging again!! Thank you!

[@radsoundsystem1073]

YES! Fixed my tablet that had been lying around for a year because it didn't charge😁 thanks!

[@ktcworld1]

That worked for me! The connector to the screen was a little lose, exactly the way you mentioned it. Thanks so much!

[@bigcee24]

Thank you! My unit wasn't turning on for a few weeks. Had some time to look into and came across your video. Used my device opening tools. Removed battery ribbon and then put it back in. Plug it up and voila! Thanks again!

[@StoneD1701]

Thanks! This fixed my TAB A SM-T350. If I had known the fix was this simple, I'd have done it a year and a half ago! I thought I needed a new battery...

[@steventrenson7086]

Great video, good explanation! My t585 had the same symptoms and it also was the screen connection cable. 15 minutes later it is working again. A big thank you!
