Samsung Galaxy S10+ Front Facing Camera Module Replacement Guide – DIY Tutorial

– First things first, unplug your phone and power it down. Safety first, right?

– Now, grab your trusty iOpener, heat it up, and apply it to the right edge of the back cover for a solid two minutes. It’s like giving your phone a warm hug!

– While you’re waiting, check out the image of the back cover we’ve removed. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with where the adhesive likes to hang out.

– Grab a suction cup and place it on the back of your phone, aiming for the center of the right edge where the adhesive is the thinnest. You’ve got this!

– Give that suction cup a strong, steady pull to create a little gap between the back cover and the frame. Feel the power!

– Slip the tip of an opening pick into that gap you just made. You’re making progress!

– Heat up the right edge of your phone and rest it on something around 0.5 inches (13 mm) thick to get that perfect angle for the opening tool.

– Hold the left edge with your fingers to keep the phone steady and give that suction cup a good pull with some firm pressure.

– Now, take the opening tool and press it into the seam between the back cover and the frame.

– Slide the opening tool back and forth along the seam a few times. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair.

– Gently glide the trusty opening pick along the phone’s edge, smoothly cutting through the adhesive.

– Pop a pick into the seam to keep the adhesive from sneaky resealing.

– Heat up that iOpener and apply it to the bottom edge of your phone for a couple of minutes.

– Gently slide an opening pick into the right edge, aiming for that cozy bottom right corner.

– With a steady hand, glide the pick around the corner and keep slicing along the bottom edge, making your way around the bottom left corner like a pro.

– Once you’re in there, leave that opening pick in the seam to keep the adhesive from being a party pooper and re-sealing itself.

– Keep that heat going and glide around those final edges of your phone!

– Phew! You’ve done the hard part, slicing around your phone like a pro! Now it’s time to twist and separate that bad boy with an opening pick. Almost there, champ!

– Gently lift the back cover, let the sunshine in! Use those opening picks to slice up any remaining adhesive. Almost finished, you rock star!

– Take that back cover off, nice and proper! Give a cheer, but hold off on wild dancing, we’ve still got steps to complete.

– Turn on your phone and test all the functions. Power it down properly and let’s keep this show on the road! Be a smart cookie, okay?

– Aha! Time to reinstall the back cover in style, transfer the camera bezel like a boss, and slap on some fresh adhesive. You’ve got this! Schedule a repair if you need help!

– Let’s get down to business! Carefully take out the nine 4 mm Phillips screws holding the top midframe to your phone.

– Slide the spudger’s point into the little groove on the right side of the midframe, just by the Bixby button. You’re doing great!

– Gently pry upwards to detach the midframe from the phone. Keep it steady, you’ve got this!

– Gently insert the tip of your spudger into the little notch on the left edge of the phone, right by the power button. It’s like giving your device a friendly nudge!

– Once you’ve got that spudger in there, give it a little pry to help loosen the midframe from the phone. You’re doing great!

– Get ready to lift the midframe from the top corners and give it a clean break from the phone.

– To reinstall the top midframe with ease:

– Slide the flat end of a spudger right under the battery connector, which is cozily tucked away beneath the rear-facing camera on the motherboard.

– Gently pry upwards to give that connector a little nudge and disconnect it from its snug socket.

– Carefully push the battery’s flex cable away from the motherboard socket, making sure to keep it from accidentally bumping into anything.

– Grab your trusty spudger and gently lift up the front-facing camera connector from its cozy spot on the motherboard. It’s as easy as pie, and you’ve got this!

– Let’s start by gracefully removing the front-facing camera module.
