Galaxy Tab A9+ Repair

The Galaxy Tab A9+ is the larger of the two A9 models, and the difference between them matters more than the plus sign suggests. They are different sizes, take different parts and carry different repair prices, so before you accept a quote from anywhere it is worth being certain which one is sitting in front of you.

How much does a Galaxy Tab A9+ repair cost?

Our fixed prices at iExpert Repairs are:

• Screen replacement – £99
• Battery replacement – £59
• Charging port repair – £59
• Diagnostic service – £15

Each covers the part, the labour and a 12 month guarantee, with no assessment fee added afterwards.

A9 or A9+? Check before you get quoted

The A9+ has a noticeably larger screen than the standard A9, and that is the quickest way to tell them apart if you have both to hand. If you do not, open Settings, then About tablet, and read the model number – it takes seconds and it is definitive.

It matters because the two take different display assemblies. A screen ordered against the wrong model does not fit, and the delay while the right one is sourced is entirely avoidable. Quote the model number when you contact us and we can confirm the correct part and price on the first conversation rather than the second. This is easily the most common source of wrong quotes across the whole Galaxy Tab A range.

Why the A9+ costs more to re-screen

Purely size. Panel cost scales with physical area and with manufacturing yield, so a larger sheet uses more material and produces fewer usable units per production run. That is the entire reason the A9+ screen is £99 against £85 for the standard A9 – the technology is the same, there is simply more of it.

Both remain among the cheapest tablet screens we fit, which is a large part of why these are sensible tablets to own if they are going to live in a household with children in it.

The A9+ does not support an S Pen

Worth stating plainly, because people buy one expecting it to. The S Pen works by electromagnetic resonance and needs a dedicated digitiser layer built into the display at manufacture. Samsung’s S-series tablets have that layer; the A-series does not.

An S Pen bought for a Tab A9+ will not work, and no repair can make it work, because the hardware is not there to activate. If pressure-sensitive stylus input is what you are after on a budget, the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite is the cheapest Samsung tablet that genuinely supports it.

Is a £99 screen worth it?

On a tablet that otherwise works, generally yes – it sits well below replacement cost and you keep your apps, accounts and files untouched. Where it stops adding up is two repairs at once, since a screen and a battery together starts to approach what the tablet is worth. We will tell you when you are at that point rather than quoting for both and letting you discover it later.

The torch test worth doing before anything else

If the tablet seems dead but still makes sounds, vibrates, or appears when connected to a computer, take it somewhere dark and shine a torch at the screen at an angle. If the home screen is faintly visible, the backlight has failed rather than the device. Everything on it is intact, and you are looking at a screen repair rather than a dead tablet. It costs nothing to check and it rescues a lot of devices.

Battery replacement at £59

Among the cheapest tablet batteries we replace. The cell is bonded in with adhesive that must be eased out slowly rather than levered, and the tablet is charge-tested after reassembly rather than simply reassembled.

Confirm the battery is at fault first. A worn cell handles reading and streaming and then drops sharply during video calls or games. If the tablet is just slow, check the storage – these fill up quickly and a nearly full device crawls whatever the battery is doing. Clearing space costs nothing.

Charging faults: cable, adapter, lint

Change the USB-C cable, then the mains adapter, then check the socket with a torch for compacted lint. That last one is the most common cause on a family tablet that gets carried about and handed around, and clearing it is not a chargeable job here. Only after all three is our £59 charging port repair the right answer.

No water resistance, and where these usually get wet

The A9+ carries no IP rating and has no liquid sealing. Family tablets spend their lives on sofas, kitchen tables and beds, which is exactly where drinks get knocked over. If liquid gets in, switch it off and do not connect a charger – power through a wet board is the most common way a recoverable tablet becomes a dead one. Our water damage repair service covers this, and where a board cannot be saved we can often still attempt data recovery.

Check the microSD card

The A9+ takes a microSD card, which no iPad does. Anything saved to the card rather than internal storage is safe even if the tablet is not, and readable in any card reader immediately. It matters most on affordable tablets, whose owners are least likely to be paying for cloud backup.

Where can I get a Galaxy Tab A9+ repaired?

iExpert Repairs handles Galaxy Tab A9+ repairs from our Essex workshop and accepts devices from anywhere in the UK by tracked, insured post. contact us to arrange it or to confirm which A9 you have first.

We cover Samsung tablet repair across the whole Galaxy Tab range, plus Samsung screen repair, Samsung battery replacement, Samsung charging repair and water damage repair. See tablet repair for other brands and Samsung repairs for every Samsung device we handle.

Do you repair tablets for schools and families with several devices?

We do, and the A9+ is one of the models we see most in both settings. Its price makes it a common choice for classroom sets and for households buying one per child, and that means faults arrive in groups rather than one at a time. When several devices go into service together they tend to reach the same problems together.

If you are dealing with more than one, tell us. Batches are quoted as batches rather than per device, we can work to a term or a holiday deadline, and tablets come back individually labelled so they reach the right person. We will also say plainly which units in a batch are past the point of economic repair, which matters far more when you are approving ten than one. contact us with rough numbers and we will come back with something workable.
