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, give it a gentle tap with your finger to confirm you want to shut down your Galaxy S9+. Sit back and relax while you wait for the screen to go blank. You’ve got this!
Step 2
– The back cover is really sticking to the chassis like it’s got a serious attachment issue! To help it let go, warm up your device evenly with some hot air. A cozy temperature of 60 – 80°C should do the trick. Just remember, it should be warm enough to soften the glue but still cool enough to touch comfortably.
– To gently pry off the back cover, grab a flat and flexible tool like the iPlastix or iFlex. You’ll also want a few picks handy to help unstick the cover all the way around. Teamwork makes the dream work!
Hey there! Just a friendly reminder to handle that back cover with care – it’s a bit fragile and can crack easily. If it’s giving you a hard time, don’t hesitate to warm it up a couple more times and give it another go. Remember, taking your time is key; it might take about half an hour, but being patient and gentle will help you avoid any mishaps. You’ve got this!
The iPlastix is crafted from plastic, so it’s gentle on your device and won’t leave any scratches. However, it can be a bit soft and may require some finesse to get it in place. Remember, if you need help, you can always schedule a repair.
Step 3
– Once you’ve popped off the back cover, gently lift it up and use your trusty spudger to disconnect that fingerprint sensor. It’s like a little dance, just be careful!
– Now that you’ve got that taken care of, go ahead and fully remove the back cover and set it aside like a pro.
Step 4

– First things first, let’s get those screws out that are holding the upper cover snugly to the display. Grab your trusty screwdriver!
– Next up, the cover is snugly latched onto the case, with the lower part of the antenna having a gentle adhesive hug. Use a flat tool to slide under those latches and free them up.
– And now, it’s time to say goodbye to the antenna. Carefully remove it and you’re one step closer!
Step 5

– Finally, grab your Phillips screwdriver and fasten those screws tight. You’re almost done!
Step 11
– First things first, before you pop that back cover on, make sure to connect the fingerprint sensor. It’s a little dance that needs to happen!
– Grab a plastic tool to help you reach that connector. It’s like giving your device a gentle nudge in the right direction!
Step 12
– Before you snap that back cover into place, take a moment to check out the adhesive. It should be sitting pretty and evenly along the edge, allowing the back cover to fit snugly. If you see any extra glue hanging around, go ahead and tidy it up!
Step 13
To give your device a little extra love, try warming it up using hot air and then gently press it down with a couple of books. This helps the glue bond even better—just think of it as a cozy blanket for your gadget!
– Gently place the back cover back where it belongs, like a puzzle piece fitting perfectly into place.
– Give the back cover a nice little press all around to make sure the glue gets cozy and sticks well.
