Can you provide the part number for the battery itself?

You fail to draw attention to the very real risk of breaking three small cables (one near the keyboard connector at the bottom, one on the right hand side and on at the right hand top - looking at the back panel with the SAMSUNG label right way up) - if great care is not used when removing the back panel. They are fragile cable, not mush spare length and no easy way to disconnect

Not sure if these cables and what they are attached to, are available as spares but require a more extensive disassembly to replace if they are!

do you know if i can get replacement for those cables?

You are so right I severed the connection to my keyboard only to find out that my tablet and battery are fine but the screen is black because of an upgrade and now I cant use my keyboard to connect the tablet to an external monitor to fix the download. Is there any way to repair that cable? Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

pretty sure the correct way to take apart this device is to heat off the screen first, then after removing a few screws the metal chassis comes avay from the back avoiding you having to remove the back cover that has small flexed attached. therefore avoiding any chance of damaging the device by incorrect procedure. you should definitely update this guide
