Dear John,
Why must one disconnet the battery in step 3 and 4, whilst that does not seem necessary to replace the cable & port for the charger only (steps 5-10), and NOT the battery....?
Regards, Frank
Always disconnect battery and press power button a few times to rid of any power left on device while doing repairs. especially if you are using metal tools.
My Tab 2 10.1 does not come apart this way. If you try it this way, it will damage the touch screen connector. Plus the cable is different. This looks more like a Tab 1.
Does the P5100 have the same charging port as the P7500?
I always open the tablet and order the cable by part and rev number. you may order a part for a tablet and will most like be sent for a diff version.
