Didn't find a video. Get a very small flat blade screwdriver or one of the plastic tools that comes with a new cell phone battery. Start on either side of the charging port and slowly work your way around prying on it. It has clips and also a thin line of glue holding it on. Take your time and it will come open with ease.

Thinking about making a purchase to replace my cracked screen, but I am noticing that these replacements don't have the 'Samsung' logo on them. Should I continue to wait longer until digitzer screens with the 'Samsung' logo come out, or would I be safe purchasing these?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] dandeli21:
And the answer comes out... It's glued in the hard way. Took me about two hours to detach the cracked screen. There is a lot of glue on the LCD that I have to remove now. Check is it is still working and ask for the replacement...

Hi there, this sounds like what happened to mine, see my thread here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2658295

Mine won't be covered by warranty, I have a limited experience of fixing electronics, would you suggest myself and your son had the same issue in this instance?

Finally the answer is... No you can't just replace the screen, not in my case. The screen goes black. It doesn't turn on. The sound its OK.

Bad I'm buying the whole assembly for $200usd.

Sounds like you separated the glass from the digitizer. This is how their phones are done too. There's an adhesive in between. I've replaced an s3 and note 2 glass before. You can still replace the glass but it will have less support since its no longer adheres to the digitizer. So it will be more sceceptible to cracking faster. Also there's more chances of dust getting inside now. I recommend you put a thin double sided tape around the screen to prevent dust.

He can purchase some uv loca glue and attach the new glass to the screen and use a uv light and it would be good as new.

Thank You from Manila, Philippines

As much as I am dissappointed on the build quality of my Samsung 10.1 2k14 edition. I just want to thank you because you saved me heaps of trouble. I dropped mine, and then it fell flat on the floor. When I picked it up I noticed the screen flicker. I was like uh oh. So I tried turning it off then the sh*t hits the fan... It won't turn on anymore. No, it does turn on but no screen! Until I found your post. Without you kind sir I would've no idea where to start. I just unclipped the ribbon (looks really vulnerable and easy to break) then clipped it back. Then voila! I plugged the charger in then I saw the battery icon! at last the screen is back! Hopefully it lasts though. I really thought this machine was sturdier. For a moment I was ashamed because I was bragging about this machine to my sister and how it's 100x better than what she wanted me to buy (iPad Air). And I saw her iPod Touch fell down on the floor countless times. I really thought I'm going to see her finally smirk and tell me I told you get an iPad! So again Thank You! from the depths of my heart. :good::good::good:

Ok, after reading this thread I'm inclined to purchase an insurance plan from SquareTrade. For $124 I can get a "no fault" two year replacement policy that will cover accidents, etc. Anyone here had any experience with SquareTrade? All of the comments seem very positive.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] ch!no:
Just my 2 cents, if you can afford it then go for the insurance. Unfortunately I'm outside the US so I have no idea about that company. But if you're not that keen on opening up your device yourself. That insurance is worth it, just so you can breathe easy. One drop! I was just standing. I'm 5'7'' so the pad might just be 4 feet off the ground. Then it already malfunctioned. It's really easy to fix loose contact like the one that happened to me but I'm starting to think this device is much fragile than I thought. I think you insuring an expensive device like the Note 10.1 2k14 is the right decision.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] noblejose:
kind of same situation here - fell down, screen is dead.

Here is my situation:

My note (SM-P605) fell down from a table to floor (around 4ft height only), just half an hour back

No visible marks/ scratch externally.

The tab was on when it fell.. and it was in a book case (a MOKO well made case). I just couldn't understand that it can't withstand such a small fall? even inside a good case?

i could see the tab screen when i picked it up - but the screen was kind of washed display the YELLOW tone was MISSING when i saw. I pressed power button to shutdown.. screen went blank and no SCREEN after that. My device is working as I connected via USB and did a data backup, all buttons are working too.. so looks like i have to find THE RIBBON and see how it is..
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] ch!no:
Hey, sorry about the late reply. I don't really hang out often here on xda. Anyways, yep first thing you should check is the ribbon because the lock on that thing is lousy. One drop the lock will disengage and you have to open up your unit to re-engage it. The ribbon will be marked lcd. In my case the ribbon still looked like it's firmly in place. But clearly it moved a miniscule amount enough to disengage some of the pins. I gently pulled the ribbon then the lock disengaged. Feed it on again then re engage the lock turned on then voila. LCD is back working.

(I'm not saying this is the CORRECT way to do it but it's the way I did it. You should probably return it if it's still under warranty or let the professionals do it. I just had to because here in Manila warranty isn't the same as it is in the states. How I wish I could just return any item just because I didn't like it. Doesn't work that way here.)

Good Luck on getting your device back to working condition. Don't get me wrong I LOVE this pad, I'd choose it over iPad any time of the day but damn. It's the small things that kills this device. Like that clip that locks the ribbon and the dreaded KNOX. Other than that I'm loving this gadget. Just got to remember to treat it like a real life baby. CAN'T DROP IT.:fingers-crossed:

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] dlang123:
I have used SquareTrade on a few devices. They have always been great, but keep in mind it is insurance vs a warranty.

If the cost of your tab is $500, and you break it, they will give you the $500 if it is unrepairable. If it can be repaired for say, $200, then you repair it. Let's say it breaks again for $200 repair. You have used $400 of the possible $500 coverage, so the next $200 repair, they would only max give you $100 for.

I have used it on a camera, a GPS watch and they just gave me money for it, and have it on several more of my devices when the price makes sense, usually a 2-3 year at 10% of the cost.

---------- Post added at 04:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:45 PM ----------

Also if you want a 30% off coupon, I probably have one sitting in my inbox. They email them out like weekly after you buy your first warranty. Like max $30 discount or something....
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Concordium:
Insurance may, or may not, be the best way to go. I work for a tech shop in Houston, Texas that repairs devices like this on a daily basis. Screen repairs are by far our most common repair. Some devices are extremely expensive (~$300) to repair. For those, insurance is almost always the best route to take. However, other devices are much cheaper (~$100 - $200) and in that instance insurance is actually a more expensive route to take. It all depends on the cost of repair. Also, you need to remember that insurance companies rarely ever give you a new device. More often than not they send you a refurbished device. Sometimes these devices function perfectly. Sometimes they are nothing but trouble. It is a gamble that you will be taking when going through your insurance.

My recommendation, if you're not used to opening and repairing devices, is to find a tech shop that has the resources to repair your device. My tech shop is such a place. If anyone is interested please feel free to PM me for information. Otherwise, do a Google search for repair shops in your area and at least get a quote. The more information you have, the better equipped you are to make a decision that is in your best interest.

---------- Post added at 03:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:50 PM ----------

That also does not take in to account the device value. The device may cost $500 when you purchased it......but if you break it a year later they are not going to value it at $500. Thus, the money you receive will be less than what you initially paid for it if the device is "totaled."

They insure it at the purchase price except for phones.. then you get the retail price at your purchase of the warranty date...

Tab 3 10.1 p600

This is the first I have seen on the Tab models to have the digitizer adhered on to the lcd, but the digitizer does have its own connector so if you are successful at separating the lcd from the dig. you just saved yourself a couple of hundred dollars and an immense headache in getting the lcd assembly. I'm going to try to separate it myself so we'll see how good I am at this.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] thatblokematti:
How hard is it to separate the LCD from the rest? I'm a total newb and I would rather not spend a lot more purchasing an LCD digitizer combo. How do you unglue the two? Is it really just a hairdryer (saw in pic on this post) and patience? Is it easy to break the LCD
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] starfall42:
Unfortunately I'm in the broke-the-glass club too.

I considered trying to replace just the glass/digitizer, but yes, they are glued together. I wasn't confident of getting the broken glass off cleanly, then getting a clean replacement. I'm somewhat picky about my displays, and I didn't want to be looking at dirt or air bubbles.

I ended up getting a combo LCD/digitizer/glass assembly from here. It looks identical to the OEM part, including the markings on the back of the LCD. It does have the Samsung logo on the bezel, but it was covered in black tape. In case Customs looked at it, I suppose. It only took a week to get from China.

Disassembly is fairly straightforward, as shown in the pictures in the original post. The back pries off, just use a plastic pick and slowly work your way around. Unhook all the ribbon connectors; they have a little hinge that tilts up to release the cable. The battery connector lifts straight up, not toward the battery.

The silver frame comes off next, working around the screen with a pick. Note there are two loose pieces under it; remember where they go.

Finally the screen comes off the frame. This is held on by double-sided tape. Warming it up with a hairdryer will make it a bit easier to separate. This was also the messiest part, as bits of glass kept popping off. The LCD is glued to the glass, which is taped to the frame. The LCD doesn't directly attach to the frame. Go around the edge of the glass to peel it off the frame.

I didn't reapply adhesive for the new unit, the existing tape seemed sticky enough. Note that the tape is all that holds it in, so you will need new adhesive if it isn't sticky.

Also, don't forget to transfer the home button! I almost made that mistake.

Reassembly was hooking up the ribbon cables and battery and snapping the silver frame back on (along with the two loose pieces. Before putting the back on, power it up and see if it works correctly. One of my ribbon cables wasn't fully seated. The touchscreen wouldn't work, but the S-Pen would. I turned it off and reseated them, and it worked!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] thatblokematti:
The combo is a bit expensive for my taste. How hard is it to remove the glass from the LCD? Is there a good chance trying to unglue the two damages the tablet even more.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] starfall42:
Whether you separate the glass and the LCD doesn't affect the rest of the tablet. They both come off as a unit when you peel the glass off the tablet's double-sided tape. After that, you can do whatever to it without affecting the rest of the tablet.

I looked on YouTube, but I don't see a video for someone replacing glass this large.All the glued-glass videos are for phones. Most of the tablets don't have the glass glued onto the LCD. There's a video of a 10.1 Galaxy tablet being repaired, but the glass lifts off the frame and isn't attached to the LCD.

Sooo... I'm very dubious of just replacing the glass. I think you'd have a tough time getting it to look good, even assuming you got the old glass off. Someone experienced and with all the right tools might be able to do it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] thatblokematti:
Is there a service for that? My goal is for this repair to cost no more than roughly a hundred dollars. The only service I saw was a link to people who fix the older version of this tablet.

There are quite a few on eBay -- search for "P600 digitizer".

Unfortunately, labor for a non-glued tablet glass replacement runs around $100. Given that this is going to be more involved, you're probably looking at around $200, which is what Samsung will charge you anyway.

So I have a p600 (Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Ed) and I dropped it on the corner. shattered the digitizer. I bought a new Digitizer and in the process of repairing it learned the hard way that it is next to impossible to separate the Digitizer from the LCD. Bottom line is that I now need a replacement LCD for my tablet now also. FYI, there is a Gummy adhesive, much like industrial rubber glue between the digitizer and the LCD and the surface adhesion is too great to separate the two without damaging the LCD, try as you might it's next to impossible.

For the Sake of science I have just busted my tablet. I blame nobody but myself in this mess, but let it be a lesson learned for everyone else after me.

You need to purchase the tool kit here http://www.ebay.com/itm/Charger-Por...ablet_eReader_Accessories&hash=item43cbfb441c and watch youtube video on how to separate the screen. Basically, with the tool, just press the tip to crack between the screen and the back cover, then slide down the tool, the tool will pop the inside clips and split the tablet. I also recommend to replace the full assembly instead of try to replace just the glass. It's not easy since you need a glue machine to melt the UV glue between the glass and the digitizer. I did couple times for the phone, but the tablet is a lot bigger and harder. The same theory when you try to put a screen protector on a 5" phone vs the tablet without dirt.

SM-P600 series cracked screen repair.

I have a badly cracked screen on my SM-P600 and have ordered the complete LCD + digitizer to do the repair - having watched how difficult is was to clean a phone with LCD glued to the screen - and it also seems that there is nobody willing to take on the job in the UK. I will try to make a video of my effort and try to post on UTube if successful. I will update accordingly.

I should also say at this point that my P600 is not assembled as the above photos show. The screen and all the internals extract from the front screen side of the unit leaving a "carapace" behind. all the other breakdowns I have seen are similar so it would seem that the above may be an early version, since changed.

Wish me luck!

Part Deux

Bought LCD here -> http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LCD-Screen-Touch-Digitizer-Assembly-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-10-1-P600-P601-P605-/261478035281?pt=UK_iPad_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item3ce14e2f51

Well screen LCD + digitizer arrived today and I set about installing.

Tools used :- Old credit cards (tools had not arrived) and watchmakers cross point screwdriver. Hair-dryer. Stanley knife (Utility knife)

I decided not to video my repair as it would have taken days - being in my 70s and not too clever with the eyes, meaning I have to keep changing spectacles for everything and I have a dreadful habit of removing an item or using a tool, putting it down and spending the next few minutes looking for it - you've guessed it - changing specs!

There is a perfectly good strip down on Utube here :-

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOzrRu8PB2Y many thanks to Gorepair.de for the video -

and that's the easy part.

After removing all the gubbins you are left with the LCD + digitizer attached to a grey frame by means of thin double sided sticky tape. I heated the peripheral of the screen with the wife's hair dryer and very carefully removed the cracked screen. By doing this I was able to re-use the tape on the new screen after carefully examining it for any glass splinters etc.. I also placed greenhouse tape - thicker & wider than Sellotape - over the screen so that I was not showered with glass splinters. Another tip is a piece of sellotape over the power & volume buttons to keep them in place - they may be held in but it's belt & braces if so, no harm there.

Before replacing the screen in the frame remember to replace the HOME button as I found out the tape is indeed very sticky and it was a bugger separating screen from frame to insert the button which I had, of course, forgotten to put back in! Should have Sellotaped it in new screen immediately on removal from the damaged one! There is also a short golden coloured multi tape that needs to be fed though the frame.

Now it is just a matter of reversing the strip down procedure and Fred is your Aunt Fanny's best friend!

The unit did work afterward despite my repair. It took me about three & an half hours including changing specs and lookin for misplaced items, so I'm sure less than two hours for a good sighted person that is "compus mentis" :¬)

It is not as daunting as it may seem
