Today Im tearing down a Samsung Tab A 2017 Model
SM-T385
This model i havent found much info regarding a screen replacement or a tear down so i have done some work myself to find this out.
There is a couple of tricks to get the screen replaced but a less repairable tablet compared to the 2016 Model. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
