Introdução
Follow this guide to replace the screen and remove the fingerprint scanner cable in your Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ Wi-Fi only.
Note: this guide is for the Wi-Fi version. For the 5G version, click here.
The screen has sensitive components, so there's a risk you'll damage it during the procedure. Be sure to apply plenty of heat and be extremely careful during the prying stage.
Before you begin, refer to the Samsung Self-Repair document for safety information.
For your safety, fully discharge the battery before disassembling your tablet. This reduces the risk of fire if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair. If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.
Note: Retaining water resistance after the repair will depend on how well you reapply the adhesive, but your device will lose its IP (Ingress Protection) rating.
Some photos in this guide are from a different model and may contain slight visual discrepancies, but they won't affect the guide procedure.

Compare your new replacement part to the original part—you may need to transfer remaining components or remove adhesive backings from the new part before you install it.
To reassemble your device, follow the instructions in reverse order and perform the opposite actions, e.g., "reattach" instead of "removing." Skip steps that use heating and prying, and pay close attention to the 📌 bullets as you work through the steps.
After you've completed the repair, download the Samsung Members App from the Galaxy Store or the Play Store, and follow the Samsung Self-Repair document (beginning page 9) to make sure your device is fully functional.
Take your e-waste to an R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler.

Hi Moe!
I'm not sure about the FE version. Based on the differences, I would wager the screen removal procedure is similar but not identical; however, it's unlikely that the screens are compatible.
does this come with the adhesive needed to reapply on the body
Hi, where can I source the aforementioned Fingerprint Sensor Calibration Toolkit? I've looked around everywhere and nothing.
Will the S-Pen work again after mounting the new display? Is there any circuitry that one has to move from the old display to the new one?
