DIY Guide to Replace Earpiece on Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

– That stubborn Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge back cover is glued on tight! Don’t worry, we’ve got this. Grab your heat gun and gently warm up the back – think of it as giving the glue a nice, relaxing spa treatment. Once it’s softened, slide a plastic pick into the tiny crack between the frame and the glass. It’s like a sneaky little dance!

– That gap between the aluminum frame and glass is smaller than a gnat’s eyebrow, but we’re up for the challenge! Use a super flat, sturdy tool – think butter knife, not a spork – to gently wiggle your way in.

– Time to unleash your inner superhero! Carefully lift the back cover with a suction cup. It’s like peeling a sticker… but way more rewarding.

– Once you’ve created a little opening, use the plastic pick to carefully separate the adhesive. Be gentle, you don’t want to scratch that gorgeous aluminum. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair

– Gently slide the pick in about two or three millimeters between the back cover and the frame. We want to keep the inside safe and sound! Remember, the back cover has a lovely paint job on the inside, so be careful when removing any sticky residue to avoid scratches or cracks.

– The back cover is firmly glued along the entire outer edge of the Galaxy S6 Edge. Take your pick and make a smooth journey all the way around the phone!

– Once you’ve freed up all that glue, you can carefully lift the back cover off. You’ve got this!

– First up, let’s tackle those 13 Phillips screws holding that plastic cover snugly in place (check out figure 1 for guidance). These screws are 13 x 3.3 mm Phillips, so make sure you’ve got the right tool!

– Next, gently pop out the SIM card tray. It’s just waiting for its moment to shine!

– Now, let’s lift the charging pad for wireless charging. It’s got a bit of glue keeping it cozy with the midframe, but don’t worry, we’ve got this.

– To get that midframe off, you’ll need to give the battery a gentle push down while using your other hand to nudge the frame up. If it’s feeling stubborn, slide a pick between the display and the frame and give it a gentle upward nudge. You’re doing great!

– Gently slide the sharp end of the spudger just below the contact and give it a little lift. Be careful not to disturb those tiny resistors soldered onto the logic board—they’re a bit fragile!

– Now, it’s time to disconnect the front camera connector. Take it slow and steady; we don’t want any surprises here!

– Alright champ, let’s get this show on the road! First, you’ll need to unscrew those two tiny black screws (2 x 3.3 mm Phillips) holding down the dock connector. Piece of cake!

– Next up, it’s disconnect time! Gently slide the pointy end of your spudger under each of these connectors – the battery, display (remember to connect your new display and test everything later!), earpiece, and home button – and give them a little lift. Easy peasy!

– Now, for the dock connector cable – it’s hangin’ on by a thread (or, you know, a little glue). Use that spudger again to carefully pry it loose. There’s a sensor hiding under there too, so be extra gentle with it.

– Woohoo! You’re in the home stretch. Now you can remove the logic board. Remember, the dock connector is still attached. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair

– To get that earpiece and sensor cable out, start by gently removing the shiny silver cover on the cable set. Just slide the pointed tip of your trusty spatula underneath and lift it off with care. Easy peasy!

– Now that the cover is off, you can simply pull out the cable set. You’re doing great!

– Now, gently place that earpiece/sensor cable back where it belongs. It’s like tucking it in for a cozy nap!

– Once it’s snug and happy in its spot, don’t forget to pop on that shiny silver cover to keep everything safe and sound.

– Alright, let’s get that logic board back in its cozy frame! Start by connecting the dock connector to the logic board.

– Once everything is snug and secure, go ahead and install the rest of the logic board. Just keep an eye on those cables—make sure they don’t sneak under the board. A quick glance at the picture will help you ensure your logic board is sitting pretty.

– Now it’s time to reconnect all the connectors: Battery, Display, Earpiece, and Home button. You’ve got this!

– Finally, grab those black screws for the dock connector and fasten them down. You’ll need 2 x 3.3 mm Phillips screws for this part.

– Time to place the front camera back where it belongs!

– Next up, connect that little connector to the logic board and you’re on your way!

– Let’s get that outer frame back on the main component! Start at the dock connector and give those two frame pieces a nice, firm press to bring them together.

– Now, it’s time to secure them with some screws. Grab your 13 x 3.3 mm Phillips screws and tighten them up!

– Alright, it’s time to wrap things up by reattaching that back cover!

– Don’t worry, the old glue still has some stickiness left in it.

– Just pop the back cover back on, give it a gentle heat-up, and then press it down firmly for a bit. You’ve got this!
