How to Replace Samsung Galaxy S Earpiece Speaker Assembly Guide

– Grab a paper clip or SIM eject tool and pop it into the hole in the SIM card slot on the power button side of your phone.

– Give it a good press to release the SIM card tray.

– Pop out that SIM card tray from your phone like a pro!

– Pop that iOpener right in the middle of the microwave, and let it warm up a bit!

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

– As you work through the repair, keep an eye on your iOpener—it might cool down on you. When it does, just give it another thirty seconds in the microwave to keep the good vibes going.

– Carefully take the iOpener out of the microwave, grabbing it by one of the flat ends to dodge that hot spot in the middle.

– Grab a pot or pan and fill it up with enough water to give your iOpener a nice, warm bath.

– Bring that water to a boil and then turn off the heat – we don’t want to keep it too hot!

– Carefully pop the iOpener into the hot water for about 2-3 minutes, ensuring it’s fully submerged. We want it to soak up all that warmth!

– Use some tongs to safely fish out your heated iOpener from the water.

– Give the iOpener a good towel dry – it deserves to be pampered!

– And voilà! Your iOpener is all set for action! If it cools down and needs a refresher, just repeat the heating process: boil the water, turn off the heat, and let it soak for another 2-3 minutes. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair.

– Get cozy, lay that warm iOpener gently over the back panel and let it work its magic for a sweet two minutes. This will help the adhesive loosen up around the edges of the glass.

– Now, give that iOpener a little shimmy-shimmy to the rest of the panel and let it heat things up for another cool two minutes. Be patient, you got this!

– When the back glass is warm to the touch, place a suction cup near the bottom edge of the glass.

– Gently lift the suction cup to create a small gap under the back glass, and slide an opening pick into the gap.

– Gently glide the pick along the bottom edge of the phone to cut through the adhesive that’s holding the rear glass in place. You’re almost there!

– Get ready to rock and roll by repeating the heating and cutting groove for the remaining three sides of the phone.

– Don’t forget to slide an opening pick under each edge to keep the adhesive from throwing a surprise sticky party.

– Grab your trusty opening pick and gently glide it through any stubborn adhesive that’s still hanging on.

– Carefully lift off the rear glass and set it aside.

– To pop in your new rear glass:

– If you’re putting back the old rear glass, or using rear glass without pre-installed adhesive, check out this guide.

– Let’s start by unscrewing the lucky thirteen 3.5mm Phillips #00 screws that are keeping the midframe firmly attached to your beloved device.

– Grab the edge of the midframe assembly with a firm grip.

– Gently lift the midframe assembly while giving the battery a little push down to help separate it from the rest of your device.

– If you’re finding the midframe separation a bit tricky, consider warming things up with an iOpener along the display edges to help loosen that stubborn adhesive.

– Time to lift the midframe assembly up and separate it from the rest of the phone – you’ve got this, rockstar!

– Grab the flat end of the spudger and gently pop off the battery connector from its cozy little socket on the motherboard. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair.

– Gently pry off the earpiece speaker assembly using a spudger. You’ve got this!

– Use tweezers to carefully lift the assembly out once it’s been pried loose. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair.
