Duration: 45 minutes
Steps: 32 Steps

Ready to give your Samsung Galaxy Note20’s camera a new lease on life? This guide will walk you through replacing the rear camera module. Just a heads-up: Always make sure your phone’s battery is below 25% before you start taking things apart. This helps keep things safe and prevents any potential battery-related mishaps. If your battery is looking a little puffy, just be extra careful. And remember, if you need help, you can always schedule a repair.

Step 1

– Grab your trusty SIM eject tool, a bit, or even a straightened paperclip, and slide it into the SIM card tray hole located on the top edge of your phone.

– Give that SIM eject tool a little push into the SIM card tray hole to pop out the SIM card tray with style.

– Carefully remove the SIM card tray, and you’re all set!

Step 2

– Let’s get started by heating up an iOpener and applying it to the left side of the rear cover for about a minute. If you need help along the way, you can always schedule a repair

Step 3

– Let’s get this party started! Grab your suction cup and stick it to the heated edge of the rear cover, right on the edge if you can.

– Time to get your tool in there. Slide that opening pick into the gap and get ready for the next step. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair.

Step 4

– Let’s loosen that adhesive! Slide the opening pick along the left edge toward the bottom left corner. You’re cutting through the adhesive, like a hot knife through butter!

– Now, keep that pick in the bottom left corner. We don’t want that adhesive sealing itself back up. It’s a slippery little bugger, that adhesive!

Step 5

– Keep the good times rolling by heating and slicing through the adhesive on the last three sides of the rear cover. You’re almost there!

– As you work your magic, pop an opening pick in each corner to keep that adhesive from getting cozy again.
