Broken screen / samsung tablet

Hello, These are the follow up photos of the broken samsung tablet - screen fix - i emailed about. Samsung SM-T510

Wow, you weren’t kidding about the screen.

@martyn I’m guessing this will be fiddly?

@mcFisher Does the screen stay black or is clearly damaged when turned on, or does the screen show up ok and just the touch element of the screen that’s broken?

@martyn I’ve just heard from lily.. the screen lights up and works fine, its just a bit risky because of the broken glass pieces!

In that case, we might be able to replace just the front glass. I’ll have to take a look into that.

Relacing the glass alone looks like a way more complicated procedure and the videos I skimmed on YouTube seemed to be using some fairly specific equipment. The price between the glass/touch panel (~Ā£20) and a complete screen assembly (~Ā£30) doesn’t really justify the extra effort to be honest.

I think it might be worth getting some proper glue rather than the tape I have - apparently the glue is far more effective.

Ok, this sounds good. Can you send me a link for the glue and i will order some. thanks

Let’s give this a try:

Forgot to provide a link for the screen!

If the screen is OK, we could give replacing just the digitiser, but that would be a more complicated operation, but the digitiser on it’s own is about half the price:
