Samsung Galaxy Note10+ Rear Camera Module Replacement

Insert the SIM eject tool, ejector bit, or a straightened paper clip into the small hole on the SIM card tray.

Press firmly but avoid applying excessive force — risk of damage to phone components.

• Allow the tray to fully eject from the phone.
• Remove the SIM card tray by pulling it out gently.

Power off your phone completely before starting disassembly.

• Apply an iOpener to the left edge of the rear cover for 1 minute.
• Alternatively, use a hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate, but avoid overheating the phone:

The display and internal battery are susceptible to heat damage.

Apply suction cup as close to rear cover edge as possible, or cover with clear packing tape for better adhesion.

Use strong tape or superglue if suction cup fails to adhere.

• Pull up on suction cup with strong, steady force to create gap between rear cover and frame.
• If stuck, reapply heat and try again.

Once a gap is created, insert opening pick point into the gap.

Slide the opening pick along the left edge towards the bottom left corner.

Don't insert more than halfway or you risk damaging internal components.

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

Continue heating and cutting around the remaining three sides of the phone.

• Leave an opening pick on each side to prevent resealing before moving to the next one.
• Repeat this process until the rear cover separates from the phone.

Remove the rear cover by lifting it straight up.

• Reinstall the rear cover following these instructions and replacing the adhesive.
• Ensure your device is powered on and functional before applying new adhesive or resealing.

If using Tesa tape, consult this separate guide for proper application.
