Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 Screen Replacement UK | Buy T815 T810 T813 LCD Parts

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 was one of the thinnest and lightest Android tablets available when it launched, and it remains a capable device for everyday use in homes and schools across the UK. When the Super AMOLED display cracks, blacks out, or loses touch response, a quality replacement screen restores the tablet completely at a fraction of the cost of a new device.

Supreme Phone Parts Ltd stocks the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 LCD Screen Digitizer Assembly, compatible with T810, T815, and T813, for same-day dispatch from Manchester. This guide walks you through fault diagnosis, what the replacement part includes, a complete DIY repair procedure, and cost comparisons for UK buyers.

How Do I Know If My Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 Screen Needs Replacing?

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 is an older device (2015 release) and screen failures are increasingly common as units age and see years of daily use. The most obvious sign of a screen failure is cracked or shattered glass. Other signs include a completely dark display despite the tablet running, dead pixel patches or coloured lines across the screen, and areas of the screen that no longer respond to touch input.

Because the Tab S2 9.7 uses a bonded Super AMOLED display and digitizer, both components are replaced together as a single assembly. This means one part purchase and one repair job resolves all display faults.

• Cracked or smashed glass from drops or impacts
• Black or blank display — device powers on but screen shows nothing
• Dead pixels, spots, or lines across the display
• Partial or complete touch failure
• LCD bleed or discolouration spreading from an impact point
• Backlight failure — screen is extremely dim or invisible

What Does the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 Replacement Screen Include?

The replacement part is a complete LCD screen digitizer full assembly for the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7, compatible with model numbers SM-T810 (Wi-Fi), SM-T815 (LTE), and SM-T813 (Wi-Fi, 2016 refresh). The assembly includes the Super AMOLED LCD panel, the pre-bonded capacitive touch digitizer layer, and the pre-attached flex ribbon cable for direct motherboard connection.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 uses a Super AMOLED display with a 2048 × 1536 resolution — the same resolution as the iPad mini Retina screen. The replacement part maintains this display quality with accurate colours, true blacks, and sharp text rendering.

How Much Does a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 Screen Replacement Cost in the UK?

Because the Tab S2 is an older model, used units sell in the UK for £30–£70 in good working order. Professional repair shop costs of £60–£100 can therefore exceed the device's second-hand value. This makes DIY screen replacement particularly compelling — buying the part directly from Supreme Phone Parts and repairing it yourself keeps the total cost well below what you'd pay for a comparable used replacement device.

How Do You Replace the Screen on a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7?

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 is one of the slimmest tablets Samsung ever produced, which means the display adhesive and internal layout require careful handling during repair. Follow this step-by-step guide for a successful screen replacement:

1. Power off completely. Hold the power button and select Power Off.
2. Heat the display perimeter. Apply a heat gun or hairdryer (low-medium setting) for 30 seconds per edge. The adhesive on this model is particularly thin, so moderate heat is sufficient.
3. Insert an opening pick at the lower edge and work around the perimeter slowly. The Tab S2 9.7 is thin, so use the thinnest pick available to reduce the risk of bending the chassis.
4. Lift the display gently while keeping the flex cable connected. Don't raise it more than a few centimetres.
5. Disconnect the flex connectors — the Tab S2 9.7 has two display connectors. Unclip each one with a spudger before removing the screen fully.
6. Remove adhesive residue from the frame using isopropyl alcohol on a lint-free cloth.
7. Connect the replacement screen by pressing each flex connector into its motherboard socket firmly.
8. Power on and test the display and touch function before sealing.
9. Seal the screen with fresh double-sided adhesive tape or B7000 adhesive.

Is the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 Worth Repairing?

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 still performs adequately for web browsing, streaming video, reading, and light productivity tasks. Its Super AMOLED display remains competitive with modern mid-range tablets, and the lightweight chassis (389g for the Wi-Fi version) makes it one of the most portable 9.7-inch tablets available. For a device already paid for and otherwise functional, a screen replacement represents excellent value.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 use Super AMOLED?

Yes. All variants of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 (SM-T810, SM-T815, SM-T813) use a Super AMOLED display. This technology delivers deeper blacks, more vivid colours, and better energy efficiency compared to IPS LCD panels. The replacement screen from Supreme Phone Parts maintains this Super AMOLED quality.

Is the 9.7-inch Tab S2 different from the 8-inch Tab S2?

Yes. Samsung produced both an 8-inch and a 9.7-inch version of the Galaxy Tab S2 — they use completely different display assemblies. Ensure you are ordering the 9.7-inch part (compatible with T810, T815, T813) and not the 8-inch version. Contact us if you're unsure which you have.

How do I find my Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 model number?

Go to Settings > About Tablet > Model Number. Alternatively, the model number is printed on the label on the rear of the device, beneath the Samsung logo. It will begin with SM-T8 for the Galaxy Tab S2 series.

What tools do I need for the repair?

You will need a heat gun or hairdryer, thin plastic opening picks, a plastic spudger, a Phillips PH00 screwdriver, isopropyl alcohol (90%+), and adhesive tape or B7000 for resealing. Tool kits containing all of these items are available for under £10 from phone repair suppliers.

Do you offer same-day dispatch?

Yes. Order before 3pm Monday–Friday and your Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 screen will be dispatched from our Manchester warehouse the same day, with next-day delivery available.
