My beloved Samsung tablet will not recharge. I thought perhaps I was using the wrong type of cord but I've tried about everything Amazon sells with no results.. These batteries are not supposed to be replaceable but I've seen a replacement advertised and watched a video where the demonstrator changed it in less than 5 min. The hardest part was getting the back off, but the kit includes a tool to help. Reviews were good.
Has anybody done this replacement?

@Kachina624 How old is it? Perhaps time to treat yourself to a newer tablet? My oldest iPad is 7 years old and the battery is still just fine.

I don’t have any experience with a tablet battery replacement, however I did replace the battery in my first kindle. I got the new battery from Amazon and the tool to remove the back. It was easy and the tablet ( an old keyboard ) still works. Of course I’ve updated a couple of times, but I keep that old one charged, just because.

I bought an iPad two years ago as I was too frustrated w/my Samsung tablet battery life.
It can't hurt to try and replace the battery if the replacement kit is not too pricy.
But I still prefer Android to IOS ...but I do plan on taking an iPad class the next time it's offered by the local Senior Citizen Council. I'm guessing that I'm not using my tablet to its fullest capacity.

@SeaMaiden. I can't remember whether it's been 3 or 4 years since I bought it on Black Friday from Amazon, so it's not that old. Still zips along very fast so I think it's worth trying to salvage.

@CinNC. I think a class is an excellent idea. I don't think most of us use our electronic devices to their capacity. I know my smart phone will do all sorts of things I'll probably never discover.
I also vastly prefer the Android OS. I prefer to stay away from Apple devices.

@QVCkitty1. Sounds like you did exactly what I was asking about. After all, the Kindle is a tablet. You give me some assurance that I can do it too. Thanks.

I replaced a battery in a Samsung tablet. I used a video from Newpower99. I would not buy from NP99. They charge too much. You only need a product with a decent review.
Enjoy this job.

@Kachina624 , I say go for it too. Let us know how it goes. LM

I would not even bother with that. I would just get a new one. Once the battery goes its a death sentence for these devices. Yours sounds very old? I agree with the other member perhaps, it is time for something new and more updated?
