Duration: 45 minutes

Steps: 4 Steps

Ready to give your Galaxy S7 Active's screen a fresh look? This step-by-step guide walks you through the process of safely taking apart the screen. Just follow along, stay patient, and remember—if things get tricky, you can always schedule a repair. Let’s get started and bring that device back to life!

Step 1

Your phone's feeling a bit toasty! Give it a break and avoid direct contact for now.

- Warm up the adhesive on the screen by gently applying a blow dryer directly to it. Give it a few seconds to soften up!

Step 2

Using more than one metal spudger makes it easier to gently pry the screen away from the frame's sealing adhesive. Keep in mind, once you reassemble, your device might not be fully waterproof anymore. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair.

- Slide your metal spudger between the screen and the frame—think of it as giving them a gentle nudge to start the separation dance.
