Galaxy 4 Replacement Battery

[Mesquite]

Besides Amazon and ebay have any folks got suggestions where I can get a replacement battery for the current wife's Samsung Galaxy 4 Tablet 10.1".

I'm looking for reputable UK suppliers, so no suggestions about getting it from some far eastern site please.

Change wife for one with a functioning battery in her tablet.

You could try your local phone repair shop, usually found in indoor markets, they normally do repairs etc, quite cheap, or you could try CEX ( no affiliation) for a replacement, they do PX etc, and give you a warranty, depends on the cost of a new battery really, that against the cost of a replacement.

You can buy one direct from Samsung also, not sure of the price

Thanks for the suggestion Fadcode, far more useful than the previous one.

Replacement batteries aren't that expensive and are very easy to replace as well. I was looking for sensible suggestions as I want to keep away from dangerous knockoff's

 

[Janne]

And cheaper!

I have had to replace the batteries on electronic devices, and I find that letting a service company or company that made the device do it, makes for a better job, with warranty usually.
Which I had to use a couple of times.


I find the thinner the devices get, the worse quality the components are.

So besides Fadcode has anyone got any useful comments and suggestions on where I can source a battery?

 

[Janne]

Read my post.

The shop where she bought it will know where she can have it replaced. Or a short email to the head importer.

Read my post.

I did... as I said besides Fadcode has anyone got any useful comments and suggestions on where I can source a battery?

Nope, i think Fadcode covered it pretty well, i had to replace the battery on my phone, bought a new one on Ebay all labelled and supplied as Samsung, it wasnt it lasted a few weeks, have since got a a pukka Samsung one in there and no problems since, buy cheap, buy it twice - i did.

Aye, that's what I'm trying to avoid Mark.

Replacing the battery is extremely easy so I don't need to go and pay extra to have someone fit it so I just want a reputable supplier for the battery regardless of what certain people seem to think

 

[Janne]

And the shop or UK office are the only people that can give you that info.

Unless somebody here works for Samsung, you can not get the info about Samsung Brand replacement battery from any of us

Samsung Support Centres.
I suspect there are loads of fakes floating around.
I am not even sure you can buy a legit Samsung part outside the Samsung network.

I am trying to help you get the part you want, not pointing you to an unarthorised supplier of (probably fake) batteries.

Really? I find that hard to believe considering your first comment was of no help whatsoever.

 

[Janne]

It was a joke maybe?

.

Just to jog your memory it was this sentence that prompted it.

Bit of a curve ball....any second hand tablets for sale on eBay and the like that have other issues (i.e. Cracked screen) so could be stripped for spares?

Remember: A wise man speaks because he has something to say, a fool speaks as he has to say something.

At a previous job we had team briefings and at some point someone wanted a 'saying' at each one. I said that one - silence after was deafening!!
