Samsung Galaxy S24 Battery Replacement Guide

Duration: 45 minutes
Steps: 29 Steps

Get ready to breathe new life into your Samsung Galaxy S24 with a brand new battery. This step-by-step guide from Salvation Repair will walk you through replacing the battery itself. If you’re looking to replace the entire screen and battery assembly, we’ve got a separate guide for that. Your phone’s lithium-ion battery won’t last forever, and if it’s dying quickly or not holding a charge, it’s probably time for a swap. Just a heads up: to keep your device water-resistant after the repair, you’ll need to reapply the back cover adhesive just right. And keep in mind, your device’s IP rating will be affected. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair.

Step 1

– First things first, make sure your phone is completely powered down and all cables are unplugged. Let’s get this repair party started the right way!

Step 2

– Warm up an iOpener and place it on the right edge of the back cover for a cozy two minutes.

Step 3

– Let’s get this party started! Stick a suction handle right on the back cover, aiming for the middle of the right edge. Make sure it’s nice and secure.

– Now, give that suction handle a good pull! We want to create a little space between the cover and the frame. Steady as she goes!

– Slide an opening pick into that gap we just created. It’s like slipping into a cozy nook!

Step 14

– Slide a fifth opening pick just above the camera flash cutout.

Step 15

– Gently grab the back cover by its edges and lift it off the phone like a pro!

– During reassembly:

– If you find any pesky adhesive bits hanging around, use tweezers or your fingers to evict them. A little heat and some isopropyl alcohol (90% or greater) can work wonders if they’re being stubborn.

Step 16

– Grab your trusty spudger and gently lift up the wireless charging coil press connector from the motherboard like a pro! It’s all about that delicate touch.

– When you’re ready to reattach those press connectors, make sure to line them up just right over their sockets. Give a gentle press with your fingertip—first on one side, then the other—until you hear that satisfying click! Remember, no need to muscle it; if it’s being stubborn, just reposition and give it another go. And if you find yourself in a pickle, you can always schedule a repair.

Step 18

– Let’s get that loudspeaker out! First, take a spudger and gently insert it into the notch on the left edge of the loudspeaker assembly.

– Now, pry up the loudspeaker using the spudger, and those clips will release. You’re doing great!

– Carefully take out the battery along with its film, just like a magician revealing their next trick.

– If you’ve used isopropyl alcohol, hang tight for ten minutes before popping in the new battery. This gives the alcohol time to evaporate completely, ensuring a smooth installation.
