Samsung Galaxy S10 Screen Replacement Guide: Step-by-Step Tutorial

– First things first, unplug your phone and power it down before diving in. Safety first, right?

– Grab your trusty iOpener, heat it up, and let it work its magic on the back cover’s right edge for a solid two minutes.

– While you’re waiting, take a peek at the image of the removed back cover and get familiar with where that adhesive likes to hang out.

– Alright, let’s get this party started! Find something around 0.5 inches (13 mm) thick and gently rest the heated right edge of your phone on it. This will give you a sweet angle for your opening tool.

– Now, hold onto the left edge of your phone with your fingers, like you’re giving it a hug. This will keep it steady while you work. Pull on that suction cup with a little oomph – you got this!

– Time to introduce your opening tool! Carefully wedge the edge of that tool into the tiny gap between the back cover and the frame. You’re a pro!

– With the opening tool in place, slide it back and forth along the seam. You’re almost there – loosen up that back cover! If you need help, you can always schedule a repair

– Warm up an iOpener and place it on the same edge of your phone for two minutes.

– Stick a suction cup as close as you can to the center of the right edge (where the adhesive is the thinnest).

– Give the suction cup a good, steady pull to create a gap between the back cover and the frame.

– Slide the tip of an opening pick into the gap.

– If the gap isn’t forming, the adhesive might need more heat. Make sure it’s almost too hot to touch and try again.

– You can also dab a few drops of high concentration (over 90%) isopropyl alcohol into the seam to help loosen the adhesive.

– Let’s get this party started! Slide the opening pick along the edge of the phone, gently cutting through that sticky adhesive.

– Hold on to that pick like it’s your best friend – it’ll keep the adhesive from getting too cozy and sealing itself back up.

– Let’s get started by applying a heated iOpener to the bottom edge of the phone for about two minutes – this will help loosen things up.

– Next, carefully insert an opening pick into the right edge near the bottom right corner. Take your time, you got this!

– Now, gently slide the pick around the corner, working your way along the bottom edge and around the bottom left corner. Remember to be patient and take it one step at a time.

– As you make progress, leave an opening pick in the seam to prevent the adhesive from re-sealing. If you need help or get stuck, don’t worry – you can always schedule a repair with the experts at Salvation Repair.

– Now, keep the heat on and carefully slice around the remaining edges of your phone – you’re making great progress!

– Alright, time to get that back cover off! Carefully slice around the phone with your trusty opening tool. Once you’ve made the rounds, gently twist an opening pick into one of the edges to start separating the cover from the frame.

– Slowly lift that back cover off. If there’s any sticky stuff left, just use those opening picks to slice it away. No sweat!

– Now, you’ve got that back cover off! You’re doing great!

– Before you put everything back together, it’s a good idea to power up your phone and test all the functions. That way, you can make sure everything is working like a charm. Then, power it back down completely before you move on to the next step.

– You’re almost there! Just follow this guide to put the back cover back on, transfer the camera bezel, and replace that adhesive. You’ve got this!
