Hey there, techie! This guide’s gonna walk you through how to swap out or remove the speaker on your Samsung Galaxy Note10. Heads up: That cover for the daughterboard is actually your main speaker. Pretty cool, huh? If you need help, you can always schedule a repair.
Step 1
Alright, champ, before we dive into this, give your phone a proper shutdown. You wouldn’t want anything getting zapped while we’re working, right?
If you’re feeling adventurous, you can try using a hairdryer, heat gun, or hot plate, but be careful not to turn up the heat too high! Remember, those screens and batteries aren’t fans of extreme temperatures. If you’re not sure about this step, you can always schedule a repair with us.
– Grab your trusty iOpener and warm up the left edge of the back panel for a solid minute! You’ve got this!

Step 2
Hey, if you’ve got a cracked back glass, try sticking some clear packing tape over it. That might help the suction cup stick. Or, you could use some super-strong tape instead of the suction cup. If you’re still having trouble, don’t worry, you can always schedule a repair.
Now, depending on how old your phone is, this next part might be a little tricky. If you’re having trouble, try heating up the edge a bit more and then give it another go.
– Start by putting a suction cup on the warmed edge of the back panel, right near the border.
– Gently tug upwards on the suction cup with a firm and steady grip to open up a small gap between the back panel and the frame.
– Now, slide the tip of an opening pick into that gap you just created.
Step 3
Keep that opening pick to a cool halfway point when diving into your phone—going deeper than that might tick off some delicate internals!
– Now it’s time to get that pick sliding – gently work it along the left edge towards the bottom left corner to break through the adhesive. You’re making great progress!
– Leave that pick right where it is, stuck in the bottom left corner, to keep the adhesive from sealing back up. You’re doing a great job so far! If you need help, you can always schedule a repair
Step 4
– Now, let’s get that adhesive loosened up! Grab another opening pick and slide it across the left side towards the top left corner. Think of it like slicing butter, but way cooler.
– Leave that pick right there in the top left corner. We don’t want that adhesive getting cozy and sealing back up! We’re in control here.
Step 5
– Get your iOpener ready and gently place it on the top edge of the phone. Give it a minute to work its magic!

Step 7
– Get ready to unlock your phone’s full potential – start by heating up an iOpener and applying it to the right edge of your phone for about a minute. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair

As you move toward the bottom edge, you’ll notice the back panel starting to peel away from the phone.
– Pop in a fourth and final opening pick into the gap on the right side of your phone, and gently slide it down toward the bottom right corner to cut through that pesky adhesive.
– Now, take that opening pick and glide it back and forth around the entire edge of the phone to free any stubborn adhesive that might have been missed. If you encounter some extra clingy adhesive, don’t hesitate to give it a little heat!
