Samsung Galaxy Note10+ Wireless Charging Coil Replacement
- Samsung Galaxy Note10+ users, use this guide for replacing the wireless charging coil.
This includes disconnection of the battery.
Step 1 | Heat the rear cover
Completely power off your device before disassembly.
- Apply an iOpener to the left edge of the rear cover for one minute.
- Use a hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate (but be careful not to overheat) if an iOpener is not available.
The display and internal battery are susceptible to heat damage.
Step 2 | Insert an opening pick
Apply suction cup carefully — risk of damage.
- Attach suction cup to heated rear cover edge, as close as possible.
- If cracked, apply clear packing tape for better adhesion.
- Alternatively, use strong tape instead or superglue the suction cup.
Do not apply excessive force, which may damage your phone.
- Pull up on suction cup with steady force to create gap between rear cover and frame.
- If having trouble, reapply heat and try again if necessary.
Insert opening pick point into created gap carefully.
Step 3 | Begin to slice the adhesive
Do not insert the opening pick more than halfway into the phone, as this may damage internal components.
- Slide the opening pick along the left edge towards the bottom left corner to cut the adhesive.
- Leave the opening pick in place at the bottom left corner to prevent re-sealing of the adhesive.
Step 4 | Slice around the perimeter of the phone
Continue applying heat and using a cutting tool along the remaining three sides of the phone.
- Leave an opening pick on each side before moving to the next one to prevent adhesive resealing.
- Finish all sides, allowing the rear cover to separate from the phone.
Step 5 | Lift off the rear cover
Lift the rear cover straight up to remove it.
Turn on your device after reinstalling and test the repair before applying new adhesive or resealing.
- Follow the separate guides for Tesa tape application and rear cover reinstallation.
- Replace the original adhesive as described in the guide for proper reassembly.
