Introduction

Use this guide to replace the battery in your Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1.

Using your plastic opening tools, carefully start to pry apart your Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 all along the edge. Do this until the back side of the tablet can be removed.
Be careful when inserting the opening tools to avoid damaging the speakers on left and right sides. The picture actually show a dangerous position for the right (small) opening tool.
During reassembly, be careful not to insert bottom, left, nor right edges first—doing so can damage the power button, and prevent the front panel from sitting totally flush.
If screen is cracked like shown imagine, Place tape on screen to prevent injury.

Gently remove tape over ribbon cable connectors and set it to the side. Using the opening tools, gently lift the connector latches to disconnect the ribbon cables.

Using a Phillips #00 screwdriver, remove the ten screws securing the battery to the motherboard.
Make sure to keep screws in a secure location for reassembly.
