About this repair
The 2017 Galaxy Tab A 8.0 (SM-T380/T385) runs a sharper 8-inch 1280×800 16:10 TFT LCD on a Snapdragon 425, and its touch digitizer sits as a separate glass layer over the panel, so a clean crack can sometimes be solved by replacing the glass rather than the whole display. We service the micro-USB charging port this model still uses, swapping the worn flex so cables seat firmly. The adhesive-mounted 5000mAh battery is removed and re-bonded with fresh tape when age makes it swell against the rear housing.

Is the 2017 Tab A 8.0 screen OLED, and does it need a glass-only or full repair?
It's a 1280×800 TFT LCD, not OLED; because the touch glass is a separate layer over the panel, a crack that leaves the display working can often be a glass-only fix on this SM-T380.
My SM-T380 back cover is popping off at one edge — what's wrong?
That is usually the 5000mAh battery swelling and pushing the housing apart; we remove the adhesive-mounted cell and fit a fresh battery so the back seats flat again.
Does my 2017 Tab A still charge by micro-USB, and can you fix slow charging?
Yes — the SM-T380/T385 uses micro-USB, and we replace the worn charging flex so the cable locks in and charges at full speed instead of trickling.
