Follow this simple guide to swap out that USB board in your trusty Samsung Galaxy S6 Active.

Step 1

Step 3

Pop that iOpener in the microwave for a quick thirty seconds to get it nice and toasty!

– Warm up the front face (sides, top, bottom) of your phone using an iOpener, hair dryer, or heat gun for about 60 seconds. This will help loosen the adhesive holding the glass in place, making it easier for you to get in there and do your thing!

Just a friendly reminder: when lifting the lower part of the screen, be gentle! It’s got a little clip holding it to the top of the motherboard, and yanking too hard could lead to some unwanted drama.

– Gently tug on the lower half of the screen with your trusty suction cup while keeping a firm grip on the phone’s frame to help separate the two parts. You’ve got this!

Step 8

– Once the glass is off, take a moment to admire your handiwork! Now, at the top of the phone, there’s a tiny clip guarding the screen connection to the motherboard. With a steady hand, grab that little guy by the crease on its side using your tweezers and gently pull it out. You’re doing great!

Step 9

– Gently pop off the screen connection using a plastic tool.

Step 10

– Gently detach the display assembly (LCD and Digitizer) from your device. You’ve got this!

Step 11

– Grab your trusty PH000 Phillips Head Screwdriver and unscrew those sixteen 4mm screws from the frame. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair.

Step 12

You’ll start to hear those clips popping loose.

– Give the phone a little press on the top, bottom, and sides to pop off the rear case. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair.

Step 13

– Once all the clips have given way, gently pull the rear case away from the frame to free it from the battery’s embrace.

– You’ll find the battery snugly resting on the back side of this frame.

Step 14

– Gently slide a plastic opening tool into the side of the frame and carefully pop out the battery. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair.
