Step 1
– Alright, before we dive into swapping that screen on your Galaxy A8 (2018), go ahead and press and hold that power button to turn your device off. Safety first, my friend!
Step 2
– Pop that little SIM card ejection tool into the tiny hole—yeah, that one! Now, pull out the SIM card tray like a pro.
Step 3
Handle the rear glass with care – it’s delicate and can’t take the heat!
– Let’s warm up that back panel! Grab your hairdryer and give it a gentle heat treatment to loosen the adhesive. It’s like a little spa day for your device.
– Now, slide a plastic card (or an opening pick, if you’re feeling fancy) between the glass and frame. This is where a little patience goes a long way – we’re going for a smooth separation. Don’t worry, you’ve got this!
Step 4
– Grab those tweezers and gently detach the clip that connects the camera to the motherboard. You’re doing great!
– Now, go ahead and lift the back panel off the device like a pro. You’ve got this!

Step 5
– Grab your P2 Pentalobe screwdriver and let’s tackle those 14 (0.8mm) screws like a pro!
– Next up, take your Phillips #0 screwdriver and remove the remaining four 1.5mm screws. You’ve got this!
– Now, gently slide the spudger under the top antenna and give it a little lift. It’s like giving a friendly nudge!
– Keep that spudger going and carefully lift out the NFC antenna. You’re almost there!

– Now it’s time to create an opening, carefully slide the opening pick between the screen and the chassis to get things moving
– Almost there, gently work the plastic card around the screen to release it from the chassis. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair
