DIY Samsung Galaxy A15 Battery Replacement Guide

– First things first, let’s give your phone a little break! Unplug all those cables and power it down completely.

– Now, it’s time to channel your inner tech wizard! Press and hold the power button along with the volume down button at the same time to summon the shutdown menu.

– Warm up that iOpener and gently press it against the right edge of the back cover for a solid two minutes. You’ve got this!

– While the adhesive is taking its sweet time to soften, here’s a little nugget of wisdom for you:

– There’s some sticky stuff holding the back cover in place all around the edge of the frame.

– Grab that suction handle and stick it on the back cover, aiming for a spot near the center of the right edge.

– Give the suction handle a good, steady pull to create a little gap between the cover and the frame.

– Slide an opening pick into that gap you’ve just made.

– Gently slide your opening pick along the right edge, wedging it between the back cover and the frame to gracefully cut through that pesky adhesive.

– Nestle your opening pick in the bottom right corner to prevent the adhesive from re-sticking. You’ve got this!

– Warm up your iOpener and place it on the bottom of the back cover for a cozy two minutes.

– Grab another opening pick and slide it into the bottom right corner. Give it a gentle nudge along the bottom edge to cut through that sticky adhesive like a pro.

– Keep your opening pick snug in the bottom left corner to ensure that pesky adhesive doesn’t seal itself back up on you.

– Give your iOpener a little warm-up, then place it on the left side of the back cover for a cozy two minutes.

– Slide another opening pick into the bottom left corner and glide it along the left edge to cut through that sticky adhesive like a pro.

– Keep your opening pick in the top left corner to stop the adhesive from sealing back up. You’re doing great!

– Warm up your trusty iOpener and give it a cozy two-minute hug on the top of the back cover. It’s a little heat therapy that goes a long way!

– Pop in another opening pick at the top left corner, keeping it at the same depth, and gently slide it along the top edge to cut through the adhesive like a pro.

– Keep your opening pick snugly in the top right corner to stop that adhesive from making a comeback!

– Gently slide your opening pick along the top edge of the phone and give it a little twist to release those camera clips.

– Now, take that same pick and glide it around the edges of the camera modules to free up the rest of those clips.

– Once the sticky stuff around the edges is feeling loose, gently slide your opening pick in deeper along the bottom edge, starting from the bottom left corner.

– Now, keep that pick moving deeper into the phone along the bottom edge, cutting through the rest of the adhesive like a pro!

– Time to lift off that back cover like a pro!

– On to the reassembly phase:

– Use tweezers or your fingers to eliminate any pesky adhesive bits. If it’s giving you a tough time, a little heat and some 90% or greater isopropyl alcohol can work wonders.
