Tab A7 10.4 T500 USB Charging Port Flex Cable Replacement T505 USB Type-C Charger Dock Board Flex Connector for Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 10.4 Port SM-T500 SM-T505 SM-T505N Repair Part

Good product, easily installed in tablet and no issues at all

This is a well built replacement part for the Samsung Sm-T500 tablet.

Excellent product

No instructions came with it but videos are available that shows how to disassemble the tablet, thankfully. The hardest part is getting the screen off. Once that's done, it's just popping off a few connectors, unscrewing a few screws (ok a lot of screws and NOT losing them like I did :D )I had to get out a razor blade and CAREFULLY get things started near a corner. Once that was done, I was able to use the items provided in the kit to open things up. I also used a little rubbing alcohol which helped things slide along and I think helped loosen the glue a bit as well.You will need to heat the screen or the tablet to ~75 degrees C in order to soften the glue. I used the bed of my 3d printer but others have used a hair dryer or heat gun.If you use a heat gun be very very careful not to overheat things or you'll wind up ruining something. you want the unit to be hot and just a touch uncomfortable heat-wise but not so hot where you'll get burned if you touch it. You've gotten it too warm if that's the case. Good luck!

My daughter's tablet has lost it's ability to charge. We would plug it in then need to manipulate the cord until we could get a connection.This product solved this issue. I did not need to manipulate it modify the product in any way to install it. I did need to take the rubber grommet off of the old card and put it on this one to maintain the water resistance.Installation warning: installation is not trivial. You will need a better kit than what comes with this product.There are several decent videos on installing one of these.You will need a heat gun or a blow drier. The idea of cutting the tape is not workable. I do not recommend trying that method.Finally, you will need either electronics double sided tape intended for sealing devices after working on them or a precut sealing template.

The issue I had with this usb board assembly was that the ribbon connector didn't fit it...first thought on my behalf was that when I removed it from the original one from the Samsung tablet I might have damaged the connection to the ribbon connector...but that wasn't the case it still fits correctly.. the problem with the original USB port was internal, my 7 yr old son tried unsuccessfully to use a incorrect battery charger.

This replacement charging port has given my tablet a new lease on life! I was on the brink of giving up on it due to a faulty port, but this part was a perfect fit and incredibly easy to install. So far, it's been working flawlessly, and my tablet charges like a dream.It's a bit early to give a definitive verdict on its long-term durability, but initial impressions are excellent. I'll update this review in a few months to provide a more comprehensive assessment.

Fixing technology can always be tricky, but this worked to replace the charging port on my Samsung tablet! Much less expensive than getting it professionally fixed, or buying a new tablet!
