SM-T500: After replacing the Screen, the Screen doesnt turn on anymore.

Sat, 14 Sep 2024 16:39:24 -0700

I had cracked the glass on my tablet. I have replaced the whole screen assembly, but now neither the old nor the new screen turn on anymore.

The tablet itself is fine and working, i can connect to it via USB, and even cast its screen to my PC.

How would i debug this further?

SM-T500: Will not boot after replacing charging port

Sun, 06 Jul 2025 01:01:58 -0700

I replaced the charging port on my kid's SM-T500 A7 10.4 tablet and afterwards the device does not boot. I confirmed the battery charges when plugged in by using a power monitor on the tablet charger; it is drawing ~8.8 watts. I also plugged it into my computer which recognizes the device as being plugged in via the Device Manager showing a "Samsung Mobile USB Composite Device" but nothing in file explorer.

I have tried resetting all cables including the charging port and I have tried the Vol Down + Power with no luck. The screen does not show the charging logo while plugged in. If it is turning on but the screen is not working I would expect it to register as being on in my Family Link app, show on the wifi network, and show as a device to explorer on my windows laptop but none of those are occurring.

I believe this means it is not booting and I am unsure of the next step to take. Going to a repair shop is a no go due to the cost vs age of this device. Could the motherboard or screen need to be replaced? How could I know which if either?

SM-T500: After replacing the charging port, still wont charge

Thu, 19 Dec 2024 04:53:16 -0700

I noticed the charging port was not charging well, only when you forced the port in some directions. I changed the charging port on the tablet and it wasnt charging. I tried replacing the flex cable, same problem. I even tried another battery and it still gets 0A and doesnt show it is charging. I already tried another charging port and I have the same problem. I testes the mainboard and it seems to be getting 5V. Any help?
