Let’s get this back cover replaced! This guide will walk you through the process of swapping out the back cover on your Samsung Galaxy A5 2017. Keep in mind that opening up your phone will compromise its waterproof seal. No worries, though! Your phone will still work just fine, but it’ll lose its water-resistance. If you’re feeling a little extra bold, you can use a dropper or syringe to apply some isopropyl alcohol (over 97% strength) around the edges of the back cover to help loosen the adhesive. And hey, when you’re putting everything back together, don’t forget to grab some replacement adhesive for the back cover. Need a helping hand? You can always schedule a repair.
Step 1
That Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) adhesive is tough! It’s like the glue that holds a happy family together, extra strong! Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. If you’re struggling, try using a hair dryer, heat gun, or a hot plate. But, be careful not to get too hot! The display and battery are sensitive to heat, so don’t burn them! If you get stuck, you can always schedule a repair.
