Samsung Galaxy A15 Back Cover Replacement

Let the phone's battery drain below 25% before starting this repair; a charged lithium-ion battery may catch fire if damaged.

• Unplug all cables and completely power off the phone.
• Press and hold both the power button and volume down button simultaneously to bring up the shutdown menu.

Do not apply excessive heat, as this can cause damage to the display, internal battery, or plastic back.

• Apply an iOpener to the right edge of the back cover for two minutes.
• Alternatively, use a hair dryer but avoid overheating the phone.

The back cover has adhesive securing it to the frame.

• There's extra adhesive at the bottom of the phone.
• Avoid prying too close to edges - keep below 4mm depth.

Apply a suction handle to the back cover, near its center on the right edge.

• Pull up firmly with steady force to create a gap between the cover and frame.
• If needed, apply more heat to soften adhesive further before proceeding.
• Insert an opening pick into the created gap.

Insert an opening pick on the right edge between the back cover and frame, slicing through the adhesive.

Do not remove the opening pick, as leaving it in place prevents re-adhesion.

Reheat the iOpener and apply it to the bottom of the back cover for 2 minutes.

Insert an additional opening pick into the bottom right corner.

• Slide the new pick along the bottom edge, slicing through the adhesive.
• Leave the existing pick in the bottom left corner to keep the adhesive open.

Reheat the iOpener and apply it to the left side of the back cover for 2 minutes.

Insert an additional opening pick into the bottom left corner and guide it along the left edge, slicing through the adhesive.

• Leave a pick in the top left corner to prevent re-adhesion.
• Ensure the pick does not exceed 4 mm depth to avoid damage to the rear cameras or flash.

Reheat the iOpener and apply it to the top of the back cover for 2 minutes.

Insert an opening pick at the top left corner, the same depth as before.

• Slide it along the top edge to cut through the adhesive.

Leave one opening pick in the top right corner to prevent resealing.

Insert an opening pick along the top edge, twisting it gently to release the camera clips.

• Slide the pick around the edge of the camera modules to unfasten remaining clips.
• Avoid inserting the pick more than 4 mm to prevent damage to rear cameras or flash.

Insert the opening pick deeper into the bottom left corner of the phone.

• Guide the pick along the bottom edge, sliding it further into the phone to slice any remaining adhesive.

Lift and remove the back cover.

• Power on the phone and test all functions during reassembly to ensure proper operation.

Be sure to power down the phone completely before continuing work.

• Remove adhesive chunks with a pair of tweezers or your fingers, or apply heat and isopropyl alcohol (90% or greater) if necessary.
• If using custom-cut adhesives, follow the relevant guide.
• If using double-sided tape, follow the relevant guide.
