🔧 Repair Overview
Camera Repair is one of the most common repairs for Samsung Galaxy Tab S8. This repair involves replacing the damaged optics component with a new or refurbished part. The process typically takes 30 min - 1 hour and requires moderate skill level.
What You'll Need
- Replacement optics part (OEM or aftermarket)
- Precision screwdriver set (Phillips #000 or pentalobe)
- Opening tools (plastic spudger, suction cup)
- Adhesive strips or glue
- Clean workspace with good lighting
Step-by-Step Process
Step 1:
Place the plastic opening tool between the face of the display and rim of the back cover of the device.
Move the plastic opening tool in a downward motion until you see separation between the tablet and back cover.
Step 2:
By sliding the plastic opening tool around the rim of the device, carefully continue to pry apart the screen and back cover.
Try to separate evenly on all sides until the screen detaches from the device backing completely.
If this is the first time removing the back cover, it will be rather difficult to separate it from the tablet.
Step 3:
Remove the back cover after the entire rim is disconnected.
Step 4:
Gently pry the camera connector away from the motherboard with a plastic opening tool or your fingers.
Lift the rear-facing camera module up and away from the device.
