Duration: 15 min.
Steps: 3 Steps
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of swapping out your Galaxy S7’s worn-out back cover. Whether it’s cracked, broken, or you’re just in the mood for a fresh new color, we’ve got you covered! If you need help, you can always schedule a repair.
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.
– Now, just tap that option with your finger to confirm you want to turn off your Galaxy S7. Sit tight and watch the screen go dark!
Step 2
The back cover has a paint job on the inside! When removing adhesive residue, take your time and be gentle to keep scratches and cracks at bay. You’ve got this!
– Alright, let’s tackle that glass back cover! It’s stuck on there pretty well, but don’t worry! Grab a suction cup and give it a gentle pull. A pick can help you nudge against the frame too. A little hot air before you start will make it easier to loosen that glue.
– Once you see a little gap forming between the back cover and the chassis, that’s your cue! Slide that pick right in there.
– Keep going! Use more picks to work your way around the corners, one by one. You’re doing great!
– As soon as all the glue has given up, carefully lift off the back cover. You’re almost there!
Step 3
– Carefully place the back cover back where it belongs.
– Give the back cover a gentle press all around so the glue can do its thing.
– For an extra boost, you might want to warm up your device with some hot air and then weigh it down with a couple of books. That way, the glue will really stick like it means it!
