Samsung Galaxy Note10+ Battery Replacement

Power off your phone completely before disassembling.

• Prepare an iOpener and apply it to the left edge of the rear cover for one minute.
• If using a hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate, be careful not to overheat the phone, as the display and internal battery are susceptible to heat damage.

Apply a suction cup to the heated edge of the rear cover, as close to the edge as possible.

If the rear cover is badly cracked, covering it with clear packing tape may help the suction cup adhere.

• For improved adhesion, use very strong tape instead of a suction cup, or apply superglue to attach the suction cup.
• Pull up on the suction cup with strong, steady force to create a gap between the rear cover and frame.
• If the phone is old, this may be difficult; try applying more heat if you're having trouble.
• Insert an opening pick into the created gap.

Risk of damage to internal components if pick is inserted more than halfway.

• Slide the opening pick along the left edge towards the bottom left corner to slice the adhesive.
• Limit insertion depth to prevent damage; do not insert more than halfway into the phone.

Leave the pick inserted in the bottom left corner to prevent adhesive re-sealing.

Repeat the heating and cutting process for the other three sides.

• Leave an opening pick on each side before moving on to the next one to prevent resealing.
• The rear cover should start separating from the phone as you complete all sides.

Remove the rear cover by lifting it straight up.

• To reinstall, follow the separate guide for rear cover installation and adhesive replacement.

Before applying new adhesive and sealing the device, test your repair by turning on your device.

If using Tesa tape, refer to the dedicated guide for correct reattachment procedures.

Remove the wireless charging coil's five 4 mm screws using a Phillips screwdriver.

Lift up and flip back the metal shield over the battery connector using a pair of tweezers.

Hold the metal shield away from the area.

• Use the pointed end of a spudger to pry up the battery connector.
• The connector will disconnect when pried up.

Insert the pointed end of a spudger and carefully pry the wireless charging coil connector away from the motherboard.

• Tilt the metal shielding up so you can grip it.

• Careful, as the wireless charging coil is secured with light adhesive — risk of damage if not handled properly.

• Pull the wireless charging coil away from the device and remove it.

Remove the loudspeaker's mounting screws with a Phillips screwdriver.

• There are five 4 mm screws.

Remove the loudspeaker with a pair of tweezers.

Use the pointed tip of a spudger to carefully release the main interconnect cable.

Make sure it's completely disconnected to avoid damage or risk of electrical shock.

• Next, disconnect the secondary interconnect cable from the motherboard.

• Use the pointed end of a spudger to disconnect the main interconnect cable from the daughterboard.
• Disconnect the secondary interconnect cable from the daughterboard.

Disconnect and remove both interconnect cables.

Disconnect the display cable from the motherboard using the pointed end of a spudger.

Excessive use of isopropyl alcohol can damage the display.

• Apply 1-2 drops of high concentration (90% or greater) isopropyl alcohol at the tear-shaped indents near the battery well corners.
• Wait approximately two minutes for the isopropyl alcohol to penetrate and weaken the battery adhesive.

Apply a suction cup to the back of the battery.

• Pull up on the suction cup with strong, steady force to separate the battery from the frame.
• If difficult, apply a few drops of isopropyl alcohol underneath and let it sit for two minutes before trying again.

Insert an opening pick into the gap created between the battery and frame, but do not insert more than halfway to avoid damaging the fingerprint sensor.

• Pull up on the suction cup to remove the battery.
• If using isopropyl alcohol, wait ten minutes for it to evaporate completely before installing the new battery.

When reassembling, apply stretch release adhesive strips or double sided adhesive tape to secure the new battery in place.
