Alright, let’s get this Note8 battery swap party started! Before we dive in, make sure that battery is chillin’ below 25%. We don’t want any unexpected fireworks, right? If your battery’s lookin’ a little puffy, be extra careful. No heat, okay? And maybe throw on some safety glasses for good measure. If you’re feeling a little hesitant, no worries – you can always schedule a repair. Just remember, opening this bad boy up means saying goodbye to the waterproof seal. Don’t stress, though! You’ll be good to go as long as you replace the adhesive when you’re done. We’re gonna be taking off the back cover, so make sure you have some fresh adhesive ready to go when you’re finished. Let’s get this done!
Step 1
– First things first, power down your phone. Let’s make sure we’re not messing with any live wires!
– Grab that trusty iOpener and get ready to soften up the adhesive holding that Note8 back panel in place.
– Time to apply some heat! Place the iOpener along the side where you’ll find the power button. Let’s get that back panel ready to come off.

Step 2
Hey, be cool with that opening pick! You don’t want to go overboard and crack the back cover, right? Just use that suction handle to help things along and let the pick do its thing cutting through the adhesive.
Because the back cover has a little curve, you’ll want to slide the pick in from underneath at a bit of an angle. Just chill, you got this!
If it starts getting a little tough to move the pick, you can always give the iOpener another quick heat-up and put it back on the cover. No worries, we’ve all been there!
– Grab your suction handle and gently lift the back cover, creating a little gap for your trusty pick to join the party.
– Begin in the middle of the side, slicing through that adhesive while you pull upwards with the suction handle. You’ve got this!
– Once you’ve made a little progress, slide the pick down to the bottom corner and leave it there to keep the adhesive from making any sneaky comebacks.
– Now, take another pick and move it up towards the top corner. Keep it going, you’re doing great!

– Grab another opening pick and glide it around the corner and along the top edge.

Step 5
Don’t try to muscle it open! Grab an iOpener to gently heat things up and loosen that sticky adhesive if the back cover is being stubborn or starts to warp.
– Once you’ve successfully loosened the adhesive on all three sides, gently lift the back cover like it’s a treasure chest waiting to be opened!
– As you flip the back cover open, keep an eye out for the fingerprint sensor connector. It might be a little shy and need to be disconnected, as we’ll walk you through in the next step.

The bottom left part of the assembly is held down with a touch of adhesive, so give it a gentle nudge.
– Gently lift up the entire charging coil and NFC antenna assembly. Let’s keep it smooth and steady!

Step 12
– First, let’s get that battery loose. Apply an iOpener to the display for at least two minutes to weaken the adhesive. If it needs a little more convincing, reheat and reapply as needed.

– Let’s get that battery out! Use the flat end of a spudger to give it a little lift from the top right corner.
– Now, gently pry up the battery until you can slip in an opening pick. This’ll keep the adhesive from sticking back down.
