Duration: 45 minutes
Steps: 8 Steps
Hey there! Your Samsung Galaxy Note Edge comes with a powerful 16 megapixel camera that should be snapping stunning photos. If your pics aren’t living up to their potential, it might be time for a camera swap! To get to that rear-facing beauty, you’ll need to pop off the back plate, mid-frame, and motherboard. Let’s dive in and give your camera a fresh start!
Step 1
– First things first, make sure your device is powered down and completely off. No distractions here!
– Now, gently place your phone screen-side down on a clean, flat surface. Let it rest comfortably while you work your magic.
Step 2
We didn’t have a battery on hand when creating this guide, but don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with the steps you need to follow.
– Grab your trusty Supdger and gently pop off the back cover of the phone using the nifty little notch in the top left corner. You’ve got this!
– Next up, let’s remove the battery. Use your Supdger on the notch that’s conveniently located right beneath the battery. Easy peasy!
Step 3
– First, let’s get started by carefully sliding the SIM Card out of its holder – just gently push it horizontally and it should come out easily.
– Next, take out the stylus from its holder. If you need help or get stuck, you can always schedule a repair
Step 4
– Grab your trusty Phillips #000 screwdriver and unscrew those fifteen 4mm screws holding the rear chassis in place.
– Stick your spudger into the stylus socket and pop that midframe off the phone.
– Work the spudger around the edges, prying the midframe off bit by bit until it’s completely detached.
