Duration: 45 minutes
Steps: 8 Steps
Ready to give your Samsung Galaxy A53 5G a fresh new look? This guide will walk you through replacing that worn-out back cover. Just a heads up, when you put everything back together, you’ll need to add some new adhesive to keep it all snug and secure. Keep in mind, this seal might affect the device’s water resistance, so be cautious! If you need help, you can always schedule a repair to get it done right.
Step 1
When using heat to loosen things up, be careful not to get too carried away – a hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate can be handy, but don’t overdo it, or you might end up damaging the display or internal battery. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair
– Grab that iOpener and give it some quality time on the back cover—about two minutes should do the trick! This will help loosen up the sticky adhesive lurking underneath, making your job a whole lot easier.
Step 2
If you’re having a tough time creating a gap, just crank up the heat a bit more to make that sticky stuff super melty. Just make sure you follow the iOpener instructions to avoid turning things into a hot mess! If you need help, you can always schedule a repair
– Get a grip on that back cover by attaching a suction handle to the right edge – the closer to the edge, the better.
– Use the suction handle to carefully lift the back cover and create a small gap between it and the frame. You’re making progress!
– Now it’s time to bring in the opening pick – insert it into the gap you just created and you’ll be one step closer to fixing your device. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair
