Steps: 12 Steps
In this repair guide, we’ll walk you through the process of swapping out the faulty headphone jack on your Galaxy S8. If your headphones have gone silent on you, this is just the fix you need to get your groove back!
Step 1
– First things first, let’s give your device a little break! Press and hold that power button until you see the ‘Power off’ option pop up on your screen.
– Now, just tap on it with your finger to confirm you want to power down your Galaxy S8 Plus. Sit tight and wait for the screen to fade to black. You’re doing great!
Step 2
Hang tight! This step might take a little while. You may need to warm up that rear glass or the glue a few extra times before it finally decides to let go.
When you’re stuck without a spot to slide in your tool, give that glass a lift with a trusty suction cup!
– Okay, that back cover is stuck on tight! Let’s loosen things up with some even heat from a hot air gun. Think of it as a spa day for your device!
– Now for the fun part: gently nudge that rear glass with a flat tool. Find a weak spot to start – it’s like finding the secret door to a treasure chest! Once you’re in, just work your way around.
Step 3
– Once you’ve popped off the back cover, gently lift it up and use your spudger to disconnect the fingerprint sensor. No need to rush, take your time!
– Now that the sensor is free, you can fully remove the back cover and place it somewhere safe. You’re making great progress!

– And don’t forget to remove the antenna – it’s time for it to take a break!
Step 5
– Grab your trusty spudger and gently pry away the battery connection from the motherboard. You’ve got this!
Step 7
