Steps: 18 Steps
Ready to give your Galaxy Note 10+ a little boost? It’s time for a battery swap! In this easy-to-follow photo guide, we’ll walk you through each step of the process. Just a heads-up, replacing the battery on the Note 10+ can be a bit tricky since both the back cover and the battery are pretty well stuck together. So, make sure to set aside some time for this repair adventure. Good luck, and most importantly, enjoy the journey! And remember, if you need help, you can always schedule a repair.
Step 1
– Alright, let’s kick things off! Press and hold the side button and the volume down button together for a few seconds.
– Next, tap on ‘Switch off’ in the menu that pops up.
– In just a few moments, your phone will power down completely. Easy peasy!
Step 2
Here’s a handy tip: When you’re heating up the edge of the back cover, make sure it’s just warm enough that you can touch it comfortably without feeling like you’re about to roast your fingers. Keep it cozy!
– Flip your phone over so it’s resting on the back—make sure it’s on a nice, soft surface to keep it cozy.
– Gently glide the hot air tool along the edge of the back cover, just like you’re painting a masterpiece.

Step 3
– Grab a suction cup and stick it on the lower part of the back cover, then give it a gentle pull upwards. This will help you create a little gap between the back cover and the rear case.
– While you’re at it, slide a flat, sturdy tool into that gap to widen it a bit more. The iFlex is a great choice for this task!
Opening up your Galaxy Note 10+ could put the manufacturer’s warranty on the chopping block. Just a friendly heads-up!
The iFlex is crafted from sleek, sturdy metal and features sharp edges, making it a breeze to insert. Just a heads up, though – it might leave a few scratches along the way. So, we suggest kicking things off with the iFlex and switching to a plastic tool as soon as you can. Remember, if you need help, you can always schedule a repair!

– Yo, let’s get those cables hooked up over the battery. They’re like the cool kids on the block, they need to be in the right spot to do their thing. Just check out the labels on the cable and the connector positions, and you’ll know exactly where they belong. Let’s do this!

Step 17
– If the adhesive frame on the inside of the back cover is still in good shape, feel free to give it another go! Just make sure it’s nice and smooth—no wrinkles or lumps allowed. If it’s a bit too big, trim it down to size and use tweezers to line it up perfectly.
