If you’re hearing a crackly sound during audio playback, it’s a sign that your Galaxy S10 speaker needs a little TLC – or a full replacement! In this easy-to-follow photo guide, we’ll walk you through the process step-by-step. First, we need to get to the speaker, which means carefully removing the glass back cover that’s stuck to the display unit. Just a heads up, this back cover can be a bit fragile, so we’ve labeled this repair as challenging. But don’t worry, you’ve got this! If you find yourself needing assistance, feel free to schedule a repair. Good luck with your speaker replacement, and we’d love to hear your thoughts on this guide!

Step 3
Heads up! Once you pop open that Galaxy S10, it waves goodbye to its waterproof charm, and the warranty for dust and splash protection takes a hike. Keep that in mind while you work your magic!
– Grab your suction cup and stick it on the bottom of the backcover. Give it a gentle pull upwards to work up a little space between the backcover and the housing frame.
– Next, slide in a sturdy, flat tool into that newly created gap. Don’t be shy—give it a little nudge to widen the space further by gently pushing the backcover up. The iFlex works wonders for this!

– Grab a flat plastic tool and gently work your way around the edge of the housing, piece by piece. The iPlastix is our go-to for this task!
Be careful not to poke your tool too deep; we wouldn’t want you to accidentally mess up anything hiding beneath the back cover!
The iFlex is crafted from a sleek, durable metal that slides right into the gap between the back cover and the case frame like it was born to do it! Just a heads up, though—those sharp edges can be a bit mischievous and might scratch the frame. So, we suggest starting with the iFlex and then switching to the iPlastix, which is made of flexible plastic, for the rest of your repair journey. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair!

Step 5
8 × 3,9 mm Phillips
– First, let’s tackle those Phillips screws that are keeping the plastic cover snug as a bug. Unscrew them with a smile!
– Next, slide a flat tool underneath the glued coil to gently coax it loose. A steel spatula works wonders here, so grab one if you have it!
– Now, it’s time to work some magic with a lever tool. Carefully pry the plastic cover from the upper edge of the display unit using a trusty plastic spudger.
– And just like that, you can lift off the cover along with the coil and the NFC antenna. You’re doing great!
Step 6
Battery connector
When you’re prying things open, always start from the side that’s free of tiny components on the mainboard. This little trick helps keep those delicate capacitors and ICs safe and sound!
– Gently detach the battery connector from the mainboard using your trusty spudger. You’ve got this!

Step 11
Before sealing up your device, give it a quick test drive! Make sure to check out the functionality of the part you just swapped out. It’s always a good idea to ensure everything’s working smoothly before you put the back cover on. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair.
– Fire up your device and check it out using Samsung’s built-in test mode.
– Just hit that magical key combo: *#0*#.
– Follow the prompts in the test menu and give things like the display, cameras, and sensors a good once-over.
Step 12
– Gently place the back cover back where it belongs, just like a puzzle piece fitting snugly into place.
– Give it a good press all over to help the adhesive stick like it’s meant to be there!
Uh oh! Is your back cover adhesive looking a little worse for wear? No worries! If the adhesive frame around your back cover is kaput, gently remove any sticky residue and pop on a fresh adhesive frame. If the adhesive is still holding on, you’re good to go – just reattach that back cover! Need a hand? You can always schedule a repair.
