That actually seemed like an easy and straightforward repair. If only everything was as easy to repair as this!
iFixit probably gave a 3/10 repair score 🤪

There were so many mixed reviews I was a little scared to buy this.-I work 10 hour shifts th-cam.com/users/postUgkxAxiUS5CgVC3j8FwNOHt037zhsquGQpXv and I can watch lectures, jam out, and read articles all day and only use 30-40% of the battery.-The screen is beautiful and the touch is accurate-The camera is on the edge, making this perfect for Zoom calls (I also have the keyboard with the back piece)-It's super thin. The bulk of my iPad kept me from using it often-I never realized how lazy I was until this pencil. The button and flick action (volume up and down, next and back) mean I can kick back without having to lean forward to make changes. I feel like a witch.Only 1 real complaint if it can even be called that, it comes with one background in like 6 colors. It's easy enough to find new ones... but why so stingy?
Samsung tab s8 is better than a8
Another perfectly capable device saved from the landfill. Nicely done!
The question is just, is it worth it or would not even better when this crap get recycled to make a really long lasting Produkt like an iPad?
This device is just an year old and has hardware which was even 2-3 years ago just something in the midrange for low budget…
I think anything beyond the purchase costs are way too much and even the purchase should be way cheaper as the 230$ Samsung want for it, it’s really not a good Tablet and was it never…
@@Eddy_E.Both Apple and Android devices have the same length of support in terms of usability of the device (sometimes Androids even more third party app support)
I really don't know what you are talking about but I have my 2016 Samsung Galaxy Tab A still up and running , even without any updates for years most apps run just fine even TH-cam (I know about older iphones not receiving iOS updates to the point even TH-cam doesn't run even if the device is okay)
@@sabehakhan5693 an iOS device which doesn’t most of apps anymore are mostly 10 years and older, so I can just speak for me but in my reality is there a big difference between 6 years and 10 years…
And next to that your with a galaxy device already on the bright sight of the android world, most devices didn’t get that much support, they are mostly completely outdated after 2 - 3 years and most of them doesn’t even run all apps when they came out cuz they just to bad hardware…
So the only devices where you get, I would say „ok service“, in the android world are surprisingly devices wich are not cheaper as apple devices and with this in mind I have no questions where most people would get just more for the money and that’s surly not the 300€ android tablet, it’s the 300€ iPad…
How it seems you don’t recognize that I not spoke about the special things in the android world, I spoked about the average and on this android is something behind about 4-5 years and this gab gets even bigger cuz on iOS we already have devices with 7 or 8 years new iOS and after that we talking usually about 3-4 security updates….
That’s a usetime you will not find on android devices at least in the next 5 years when you will find it ever, and then we still don’t talk about the average, we just talk about the best devices which are in the android world a big exception…
@@Eddy_E. It's really not as bad as you think, new apps work on old Android versions usually where they often don't on iOS so there's not that much difference. iOS is a little better in terms of long term support but not by as much as you think
@@circuit10 that’s just not true…
On Apple devices you got longer support what ends up automatically in longer appsupport too…
Just try to install a modern app on an android 5 or 6 device and you will see what I mean and devices which Stucks on those firmwares are partially not older then 3 or 4 years…
You will find not a single apple mobile device in the last decade which has just so short supporttimes…
I know that it is harder to use apple devices when apple even kill the security updates but in most cases this needs around 10 years, just show my one single android device which is 10 years old and still run just a single modern daily app, you will find exactly nothing, on the iPad and iphone side you will find devices which do that…
So all in all nothing else as a modern myth from some androidsheeps…😅
Hugh, great video as always but I'm not sure why you don't cover shattered screens with some kind of sticky tape before removing them, it would help prevent shards from going everyhwhere.
Wow! This was a very fast repair.
Thank you Hugh for your inspiration!
Our Marketing Firm (job #2) uses these tablets all the time for in-store sales work. Pretty cool to see how you tackled this one, Hugh!
A quick and easy repair, nice video as always.
Worked on a much older Samsung Tablet and pleased to see they're no harder to repair with this generation.
One tip for removing the broken glass screen. You can tape it up with transparent packing tape to keep it more or less in one piece during removal.
You're an absolute boss, sir. Came across your channel a few weeks ago and watched your videos daily. Much love to you 😊✌
No Saturday is complete without a Hugh Jeffreys video!
Cheers!
Just recently repaired a Samsung galaxy A30. I thank this channel as it helped me to repair all sorts of tech
I'd been waiting on the upload! Thanks Hugh!
This device shows how adhesive should feel in devices these days. Many devices use too much adhesive that it's hard to remove when disassembling, especially in batteries. It should be easy to remove while able to hold on to it even in high temps.
Is usually the phones with IP rating that have to have a strong adhesive to get that water resistance rating.
@@NanoMine i still remember phones back then that have low adhesive yet still achieve an IP68
Phoneguru used to tape whole screen with thick layer of transparent office tape to keep the glass flakes together
All you needed to do is replace the screen and fix the frame. No removing parts from the old screen and placing them in the new one to keep the software from saying it's not genuine!
Ahyes, what can you expect from Hugh Jeffreys video's, a superb video that will help some people trying to repair and also aware of tactics of some companies trying to make either repair friendly or anti repair on their devices
Thank You Hugh For the information about Restoring this !
Another week, another video to binge 👍
The samsung Tab series are probably my favorite repairs. The majority of them are extremely easy, worlds above Apple and their iPads.
regarding the LCD glass being as one... I personally don't see this as a bad thing generally. The issue with glass-only such as the iPad Air 1 through iPad 9 (current gen) is that when the glass gets cracked, that exposes tine internals (LCD included) to the environment. This almost guarantees the LCD will get filthy, and no matter how much you try you will never get an LCD as clean as it was as when it came out of the factory. Compared to the tablets with LCD/glass combos where this simply isn't a concern. Yes it costs more, but especially for those aiming to repair devices for resale, it's a lot harder to sell a tablet that has a nice uncleanable dot (or many) from exposure on the LCD due to broken glass, even if everything else is perfect.
Awesome repair, the Tab looks great again!
Great video Hugh
Nothing is more satisfactory than to watch a broken device coming back to life again nice 👍 👌 🙂 👍 👌
Great repair! 👍🏻
You are the best. I have watched you for 2 years on a few accounts
I am very happy to see your work and how you save this tablet from becoming e waste love you ❤️❤️🙏😀
Always amazed at your skills!
Very good restoration 👍❤️
Great video huge I've watched every video you have made most excellent work
I was binge watching Hugh tablet videos couple days ago
Saturday comes, new video is a tablet video
Life is good
1:39 jefrey you can press volume down and power button to force shutoff any samsung device.
Watching this on my tab a8
Nice
Watching this from my A8!
Peeling that screen plastic was very satisfying to watch
Great video 👌
That’s so cool you’re able to repair electronics like that
That awesome feeling of fixing something which apple users will never get
You're talking about people with *newer* Apple devices, right?
That actually looked easy! No issues either!
Great to see this fixed
Revisit that not working tv
Great Video!
Also you're awesome! :D
Why don't you use duck tap to the screen to avoid glass splash
Well done Huge
very good and clean restoration :D
Nicely done.
I find it funny that you blurred the imei number in settings, but not the one on the back of the device :))
great repair
I bought one for $40 on Facebook marketplace. Will wait until it gets here to look it over b4 ordering a screen for it. TY for video.
Nice repair job👍
I had a similar experience today, your video shows how difficult a damaged tablet restoration could be.
I just finished fixing my indented iPad Pro 12.9 2018 with shattered display
One corner was indented for about 2mm, had to file the edge railing down to fit the replacement display.
1. heating display with heating bed of 3D-printer 65C° 10 min
2. use suction cup to seperate the damaged display from body
(use packaging tape for damaged parts with no suction)
3. transfer ribbon cables & etc. to new display
4. hammer the corner into shape🤣file down the railing to fit display
5. remove old adhesive and adding new double side adhesive tape
6. reconnect cables and reseal display onto the body
165€ Display + 4 hours of weekend
Fixing my own electronics is pretty rewarding and fun😇
Total amateur btw
Hi Jeff, have you seen Samsung XCover6 Pro? It seems like a great phone repair wise, with the replaceable battery and all. Hope you take a closer look, including their software
Hey Hugh, welcome back to another Hugh Jeffrey's video.
I hate peoples mistreated their devices
i have an a7, those tablets are absolutely easy to bend
I agree, i have bought cheap a8 same as in the video and it was severely bent, straightened it out best i can as i don't want to risk damaging the screen
So hard shut down didnt't work you hold the power button and the volume down for 7 seconds
We gotta love Samsung for making devices super easy to repair.
I mean this is a budget device so it won't be water resistant or something so it has weaker glue but yeah it's easy to repair, but as an owner of the tab a7, I have it well before the a8 I can say that they are just e-waste, they are pretty awful, I am currently using it and even TH-cam is a struggle for it, I'm not taking games into consideration, it's too weak to be used, after 1 update it kind of just became useless, I have to say that you are better getting some more money and buying the iPad 9, even where I'm from it's not that big of a difference, in other countries it may be even closer in price and you get a much better device that is actually usable for more than 1 year, and that year only used mostly for TH-cam and movies
In video u said Hugh you cant power off tablet because screen is not working but if you hold down power button and volume down button for few seconds it will force turn off tablet.
Most android devices now days take that as just a restart
Nice job, Hugh Jeffreys.😉
2:17 the complete contrast from the adhesive Samsung uses to hold their batteries in their devices
Awesome👍👍👌😊👏🏼 good job !
The tablet looks nice
I have the exact same tablet. It's still in the best condition so far!
Thanks!
keep going!
Great repair! Cheers. I wonder why you did not bother to put some kind of adhesive strip on the broken display before removal - could have been way easier and less glass shards?
And reseating the new display would have been easier using suction cups. But amazing anyways
good job
1:28 You can absolutely force shut off an android device, just press the power button until it turns off
Seeing that it was in setup mode, makes me wonder if that was due to the screen change or whether the previous owner dropped it while trying to set it up. 😂
Maybe he's a software but not hardware guy and reset it with ADB. Maybe he's a privacy advocate and fumbled through the recovery/reset menu mostly blind.
@@tactileslut yeah it's easy to reset blind by following a video.
I'm glad that the tablet I have is easy to fix
Simple repair
Kep it up Hugh I have a galaxy tab e
Very nice!
I hope that neved happens to my tab s8+
Huge, have you try the trick of using clear tape over the broken display, then using the suction cup? It was very effective when i fix my phone screen
if someone was asking why he didn't use the "secret" code for testing, it's because galaxy tablets don't have it. i tried on my tab a7 and it didn't work
What watch are you wearing... Looks pretty cool
Nice vid
I liked this video.
When I first started watching your videos, I thought the channel was called Huge Effries.
Nice work as always...
what about "fixing" the Display with adhesive tape beforehand and then start opening it? This should make it much more easy and make it possible to adhere a suction cup.
Is this something you considered? Tried? I never had a severe case like this broken display, but it would seem like the right thing to do. I'm very interested why it's not part of your routine.
cool video
Nice
I personally fixed once a Samsung tablet which I bought from eBay for personal use and it was definitely easier to fix than one of those crappy iPads which have their screens and batteries paired to the motherboard.
I bought the tablet for 35€ and invested 210€ into original screen and battery.
It was also a great choice that I got a model from 2020 because the newer models have firmware protections which "prevent" you from installing 3rd party firmware by displaying camera and disabling the selfie camera.
That definitely sucks since I love to install CrDroid and EvolutionX GSI firmware on my tablets since they have support for the pressure points of the s-pen and OneUi is just bloatware that wastes the resources that could be used to render a video or render a multi-layer image (Also knows from certain Twitter artists/ those type of images where you can zoom into certain spot of the image and see another one and then in that another image see another image)
Things are mighty pricey down under. It's about 200-250 here in the US, and would pay about 330 after conversion.
Where do you get parts? How authentic will it be?
i have that exact model
if you plug it in to power and then hold wake button + volume down it should power off :)
Damn, you gettin screwed down there. Here in Germany this sm-x205 lte variant retails for 200€
Hi Hugh I was wondering what’s is the first song you use on this video, it’s been stuck in my mind!
Now thats a good deal!
It is possible to switch the tablet off, holding the power button down for long enough will always shut it down without any interaction
At 2:05 I just noticed that the tablet has battery pull tabs. Why doesn't Samsung add those on their galaxy phones huh?
Not sure where you're checking your prices but where i live this thing retails for $150 US
i think its pretty funny, because this is smth apple users might dream of. A display wich comes of easyli, you can just change parts and they re not locked to the device... just love it ;D
If only everything else was that easy
Use a USB-C hub with HDMI and USB A. You can then plug in a mouse and monitor and control the device
Cover broken screen with tape before removing to prevent the glass from shattering more
Wouldn't using a strong clear packing tape help with removing the screen and any parts that break away
It was retailing around 100usd in india recently.
Great find Hugh! My Missus has this tablet, so it's good to know that it's relatively straight forward to repair the screen (and affordable), should, 'touch wood', the tablet be damaged. Cheers Mate!
Just got my Mum one of these for her Birthday
Hi hugh can you do a restoration of a dell 2010 pc
