Hey there, safety first! Before you start taking your phone apart, make sure the battery is below 25%. It’s good to be safe, right? If you need help, you can always schedule a repair.
Is your Galaxy Note9 battery acting like a party animal, draining faster than a glass of champagne? Don’t worry, a fresh battery is just what the doctor ordered! This step-by-step guide will have your Note9 back in action before you can say ‘battery life’! For your safety, let’s make sure that battery’s chillin’ at under 25% before we get started. This keeps things cool and prevents any unexpected drama. If your battery’s lookin’ a little puffy, make sure you take extra precautions, okay? Once you’ve got that new battery installed, give it a little TLC: Charge it up to 100% and keep it juiced for a couple hours. Then, rock out with your phone until it’s time for a power nap. Finally, give it a full charge again. Your Note9 will thank you! And if you’re ever feeling a little overwhelmed, remember you can always schedule a repair with us. We’re always here to help.
Step 1
– First things first, let’s give your phone a little nap—power it off before we dive into the disassembly fun!
– Now, grab a hairdryer, a heat gun, or whip up an iOpener. Apply it to the right edge of the back of your phone for about a minute. This will help soften that sticky adhesive hiding underneath, making it much easier to get inside.

Step 2
If the adhesive is being stubborn, try applying a bit more heat – just be gentle, as too much force can cause the glass to break. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair
If your screen is looking rough, cover up those cracks with some packing tape. This’ll give the suction cup a better grip and help you out!
– Grab a suction handle and stick it on that back cover like you’re preparing for a big reveal.
– Give it a gentle lift with the suction handle to create a charming little gap between the back cover and your phone’s frame.
– Slide an opening pick into that gap, ready to dive into the next step!

Step 3
If the adhesive gets a bit stubborn, don’t force it – just add some more heat and it should loosen up nicely. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair
– There’s a bit more glue along the top edge and around the camera. No worries! You’ve got this. Just be gentle when cutting around the left edge near the fingerprint sensor. That’s where the ribbon cable lives, and we don’t want to mess with that little guy. 😉

Step 4
Hey there! When you’re using the pick, don’t go overboard! Keep it from getting too deep near those fingerprint sensors and cameras. We don’t want to get into any trouble with the phone’s inner workings, right? If you need help, you can always schedule a repair.
– Begin at the center and gently glide your opening pick up and down along the right side to slice through that adhesive like a pro.
Step 5
Heads up! The glass near the corner is a bit delicate, so be gentle. If the adhesive starts to act up, don’t hesitate to give it a little more heat. No worries, you got this!
– Now it’s time to get started – leave an opening pick in the upper-right corner to help you get a grip on things.
– Next, grab another opening pick and carefully cut the adhesive around the bottom-right corner. You’re making great progress!
– Go ahead and leave that opening pick in the phone for now – if you need help or get stuck, you can always schedule a repair with the experts at Salvation Repair.
Step 6
– Let’s get this party started! Warm up the left side of the rear panel with a heat gun or hairdryer for about three minutes. You can also use a heated iOpener. This will soften the adhesive underneath and make it easier to remove the panel. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair

Step 7
Be gentle when handling the corners – the glass can be a bit fragile in these areas.
When using an opening pick on the left edge, be careful not to insert it more than halfway, especially near the fingerprint sensor, to avoid damaging the internal ribbon cable. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair
It’s totally cool if those opening picks decide to take a little tumble while you’re easing off the back cover. No worries, just keep going!
– Let’s get this party started! Slide an opening pick into the lower-left corner of the rear panel.
– Now, grab another opening pick and gently cut the adhesive along the left edge of the rear panel. You’re doing great!
Step 8
Apply some extra heat with an iOpener, hair dryer, or heat gun where you’re cutting through the adhesive – it’ll make the process a whole lot easier. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair
– Alright, let’s get this party started! Use your opening pick and carefully slice through the adhesive around the top left corner of the back panel. You got this!
– Now for the grand finale! Cut the remaining adhesive along the top of your phone. We’re almost there!

Step 9
Hold tight on that fingerprint sensor ribbon cable! We’re not ready to let it go just yet.
Hey, sometimes that fingerprint sensor cover can be a little stubborn and stick to the midframe. Don’t worry, we’ve all been there! Just be gentle and it should come loose. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair
– Start off by gently prying apart the right side of the rear cover. You’ve got this!
– Next, give that cover a little tilt upwards along the left edge to reveal the hidden fingerprint sensor ribbon cable. It’s like uncovering a secret!
Step 10
– Time to get that fingerprint sensor ribbon cable out of its socket. Use the tip of a spudger to carefully pry it up and out – you got this. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair

Step 11
– Let’s get that back cover off! Carefully remove it.
– Time to put that back cover back on! First, you’ll want to gently peel off any leftover sticky stuff using tweezers. Once you’re done, give the phone a quick clean with some high-concentration isopropyl alcohol (90% or higher) and a lint-free cloth. This’ll get the surface ready for the new adhesive. You don’t need to get every last bit of the old adhesive, just the bigger pieces.
– Turn on your phone to make sure your repair is looking good before you put the new adhesive on and seal it up tight.
– Now, let’s get that new adhesive in place on the back cover. Line up one edge of the cover with the phone and press it down firmly. You’ve got this!
Step 12
– Let’s get this show on the road! Grab your trusty Phillips screwdriver and pop those nine 4 mm screws securing the upper midframe. You got this!
Step 13
The upper midframe snaps into and out of place! Such lovely engineering in this piece of tech. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair.
– Let’s get this party started! First, gently insert the tip of your trusty spudger into the upper-left corner of the upper midframe.
– Now, use the spudger to pry the upper midframe away from the phone. Think of it like giving the midframe a little nudge to say ‘goodbye’!

Step 14
The adhesive might be taking a break, but grab an opening pick and give it a little nudge if you need to get in there!
– Gently peel the wireless charging coil off the battery, starting from the left side like a pro.
– When you’re putting everything back together, remember to snap the midframe in place first before sticking the wireless charging coil down. You’ve got this!
Step 15
– Now, it’s time to give that orange ribbon cable connecting the battery to the motherboard a little “goodbye” with the tip of your spudger. Gently pry it up and give it a little wiggle to disconnect it. You’re doing great!

Step 16
Going overboard with alcohol can cause some serious damage to your display. Keep it light and focus on what’s necessary!
– Drop a couple of drops of high-concentration (90% or more) isopropyl alcohol into the battery well, focusing on the bottom and the upper-left corner. Let’s get that adhesive a little tipsy!
– Give it a few minutes to let the alcohol do its magic and soften the adhesive holding that battery in place.
– Tilt your phone at different angles to encourage the alcohol to sneak under the battery for a nice, smooth removal.
Step 17
Keep that battery straight! No bending allowed, and let’s keep it fresh by not reusing it.
Sometimes it takes a few tries to get the suction cup to stick. Just keep on trying! Aim for the center of the battery, but avoid the white sticker at the bottom.
– First, attach a suction cup to the battery – it’s time to get a grip on that old battery.
– Next, use some steady force to lift the battery straight up. Keep going until you’ve got enough space to slip in your opening pick.
– Now it’s time to get underneath the battery. Insert your opening pick under the bottom edge and give it a gentle twist to loosen up that adhesive.
– Almost there – carefully remove the battery from your device.
– If you used isopropyl alcohol to help with the removal, take a 10-minute break to let it fully evaporate before installing the new battery. And if you need help at any point, you can always schedule a repair
