Steps: 9 Steps

Step 1

Samsung Galaxy Prime Rear Facing Camera Replacement

– Start by inserting an opening tool or your trusty fingernail into the tab on the power button side of the phone – it’s time to get this repair started!

– Gently lift on the tab to pry the back cover off the phone, working your way around the edges.

– Keep prying around the edges of the phone until the entire back cover is removed – you’re making great progress! If you need help, you can always schedule a repair

Step 2

– To get that battery out, just give a gentle lift on the thumb tab nestled in the bottom right corner of the battery bay. You’ve got this!

Step 3

– Slide out the SD card and Sim card from just above the battery bay.

– Use an opening tool to lift up the plastic plate covering the LCD ribbon cable and remove it.

Step 4

Keep those screws safe and sound on a magnetic mat or in a cozy spot. You wouldn’t want them to wander off on their own adventure!

– Grab your trusty PH000 Phillips screwdriver and start unscrewing those nine screws on the back. You’ve got this!

Step 5

Time to put on your speed demon hat, but remember, we’re not in a demolition derby! Be careful when separating the screen and the plastic bezel because the glue might start acting like a clingy ex and re-bond everything. We don’t want that!

You can also give the screen a little nudge in the empty spot where the battery used to be to help separate things.

– Let’s get those screens separated! Use a heat gun or a heating device to gently warm up the edges of your phone’s screen.

– Now, slide an opening tool between the screen and the plastic bezel. Apply some gentle pressure to coax them apart.

Step 6

No need to get your motherboard all worked up! You don’t have to remove it for this step.

– Let’s disconnect that speaker cable! Use a plastic spudger to gently detach it from the speaker unit.

– Now, it’s time to say goodbye to the speaker! Lift it up from the top, and it should pop right off the phone.
