Step 3
Heads up! Once you crack open your Galaxy S10, it waves goodbye to its waterproof charm, and the warranty for dust and splash protection takes a hike. Stay dry and keep it safe!
– Grab a suction cup and stick it right at the bottom of the back cover. Give it a gentle pull upwards to create a snug little gap between the back cover and the housing frame.
– Now, take a flat, sturdy tool and slide it into that gap you just made. Give it a little nudge to widen the gap by pushing the back cover up a bit more. We recommend using the iFlex for this task!

Be gentle with your tool and avoid going too deep—let’s keep everything safe and sound beneath that back cover!
The iFlex is crafted from thin yet tough metal, making it a breeze to slide into the gap between the back cover and the case frame. Just a heads up, though—the iFlex has some sharp edges that could scratch the frame. So, we suggest using the iFlex for the initial entry and then switching over to the iPlastix, which is made from flexible plastic, as soon as you can. Happy repairing!

– Now, it’s time to leverage that plastic cover! Use a spudger to pry it open from the upper edge of the display unit.

– Next up, peel off all the protective films from the adhesive parts of your shiny replacement battery. It’s time to let that sticky goodness do its job!
Hey there! If your new battery’s feeling a little bare on the sticky side, don’t sweat it! Just grab some thin, double-sided tape and give that battery a little hug – but only around the edges. Keep that sticky stuff away from the black bits inside the display frame, alright? Need a hand? You can always schedule a repair

Step 12
Before you snug that back cover back into place, let’s give your device a quick test drive! Be sure to check out the functions of the component you just swapped out. If anything seems off, no worries! If you need help, you can always schedule a repair.
– Power up your device and dive into Samsung’s built-in test mode for a quick check-up.
– Just hit this magical key combo: *#0*#
– Follow the prompts in the test menu to check out the display, cameras, and sensors. You’ve got this!
Step 13
– Carefully place the back cover back where it belongs.
– Give it a gentle press all around to ensure the adhesive sticks like it’s meant to.
If the adhesive frame around your back cover has lost its stickiness, it’s time for some gentle cleanup! Remove any leftover adhesive residue and get ready to apply a fresh adhesive frame. But if your back cover’s adhesive frame is still holding strong, you can pop it back on without any fuss. And remember, if you need help, you can always schedule a repair.
