Duration: 90 min.

Steps: 22 Steps

If your battery looks like it’s been pumped up at the gym, remember that the gas inside is a bit of a fire hazard and can escape. If you’re feeling unsure about handling it, just swing by a repair shop and let the pros take care of it!

In this fun and easy-to-follow photo guide, we’ll walk you through the process of swapping out your battery like a pro!

Step 1

Before diving into the repair, it’s a great idea to check off the basic functions of your Galaxy A52 using our handy checklist. This way, you can ensure nothing got damaged during the process. And don’t forget to power down your A52 afterward to keep things safe and avoid any sneaky short circuits!

– To kick things off, press and hold the side button and the volume down key together for a few seconds. It’s like a little dance move for your phone!

– When the menu pops up, go ahead and tap on “Switch off.”

– And just like that, your phone will gracefully power down in just a few seconds.

Step 2

– Warm up that sticky glue by gently waving a hot air tool around the edge of the back cover. Let’s get it nice and toasty!

Just a heads up! Once you crack open your device, its IP68 certification will no longer be valid. So, if you’re planning on splashing around, keep that in mind!

The Galaxy A52’s back cover is like a tightly sealed treasure chest! To get it open, you’ll need to give that adhesive a little warmth with some hot air. Grab a heat gun or a trusty hair dryer, and let’s get that cover off!

Step 3

To pop off that back cover, grab a thin, sturdy tool like the iFlex. Its sharp edges make it super easy to slide in and get the job done!

– Grab a suction cup and stick it to the lower edge of the back cover. Give it a gentle pull upwards to make a little gap. Now, while you’re at it, slide the iFlex tool between the screen and the back cover to help you out!

Take it easy when you’re loosening around the camera module! We want to keep that little guy safe and sound, so be gentle with your tools.

To keep your phone’s case looking sharp and avoid any accidental nicks from the iFlex’s edges, make the switch to a plastic buddy like the iPlastix as soon as you can. Your phone will thank you!

– Run your tool all around the edge of the back cover, loosening it bit by bit. Don’t forget to warm up that adhesive in between for a smoother experience!

– Slide those flat picks under the back cover at regular intervals to keep that glue from getting too cozy again.
