Replacing the A41 screen is a bit of a challenge, but don’t worry—most parts are housed in the screen unit and will need to be moved over to the new screen (the earpiece gets a free pass). Just a heads up: the back cover and battery are really stuck on there, so make sure you’ve got plenty of time to tackle this repair. Best of luck, and remember, you can snag an original replacement screen for your Galaxy A41 along with a handy Samsung tool kit at our online store. schedule a repair
