Samsung Galaxy J7 Midframe Replacement Guide
Duration: 45 minutes
Steps: 4 Steps
Step 1
If the cover is stuck, don’t try to force it open – that’s just asking for scratches. Instead, grab a plastic opening tool and let it do the hard work for you. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair
– First, track down that sneaky tab at the top left corner of the back cover – it’s highlighted by a red square for your convenience
– Next, grab a trusty tool like a plastic opening tool or even just your fingernail, and gently pry the tab open
– Now, carefully work your way around the edges to completely remove the back cover – you’re making great progress, and if you need help, you can always schedule a repair
Step 2
– Let’s find that battery! Look for a little slot in the bottom right corner of the battery – it’s marked with a red square.
– Time to give that battery a little nudge! Gently pop the edge out and pull it out carefully.
– Just a quick tip, make sure the battery is disconnected from the motherboard before pulling it out. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair
Step 3
– Grab your trusty Phillips #000 screwdriver and go ahead and unscrew those ten 4.2 mm screws that are hanging out around the midframe. You’ve got this!
