Samsung Galaxy A52 Back Cover Replacement

Overheating the phone can cause damage to the display and internal battery.

• Prepare an iOpener or use a hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate to loosen the adhesive underneath the back cover.
• Apply heat for at least two minutes before proceeding.

Secure a suction handle to the right edge of the back cover.

• If the back cover is damaged, apply strong tape or superglue to ensure proper adhesion.
• Lift the back cover with the suction handle to create a small gap between the back cover and frame.

Apply more heat if necessary, following iOpener instructions to avoid overheating.

• Insert an opening pick into the created gap.

Move the opening pick to the top right corner and carefully slice the adhesive.

• Leave the opening pick in position to prevent the adhesive from re-sealing.

Insert opening pick under top right edge.

• Slide pick down to bottom right corner, slicing adhesive.
• Leave pick in place to hold open adhesive.

Adhesive has cooled down; reheat with iOpener if hard to cut.

• Insert a third opening pick at the bottom edge of your phone.
• Slide the opening pick along the bottom edge to slice the adhesive.
• Leave the opening pick in the bottom left corner to prevent resealing.

Insert a fourth opening pick under the bottom left corner.

• Slide it along the left edge to cut the adhesive.
• Leave it in place at the top left corner to prevent resealing.

Insert an additional opening pick under the top left corner.

• Guide the pick along the top edge, slicing through the remaining adhesive.

• Remove the back cover.
