    Can it be done by my fair hands? Replacement battery needed for 4 year old Samsung Tab 3 – recommendations for battery retailers?

    Thanks.

    You could certainly open up a Nexus 10 (built by Samsung) and replace the battery.

    Just youtube it; if it’s possible then I’m sure it’ll be on there.

    Thanks dooosuk, my main worry is buying a decent quality battery. No Samsung service centre near me but surely replacing a battery is not rocket science?

    No, depends on the tablet and how it’s made.

    Thats a lot easier than an ipad .

    battery where from – possibly Amazon due to some returns policy

    Well some are screwed together – easy; some are clipped together – also easy but you have to be careful not to snap stuff; some are glued together which makes things much harder!

    Thanks all. 8)

    Manufacturer wanted me to visit their ‘service centre’ but there’s nothing near me. Clearly a ploy to ‘persuade’ me to buy a new one. A quick Google throws up horror stories of said establishments.
