Samsung Galaxy J7 Midframe Replacement
Step 1 | Back Cover
Locate the Tab highlighted by a red square at the top left corner of the back cover.
- Use a fingernail or a plastic opening tool to gently lift the tab.
- Pry open the cover carefully working around the edges to remove it completely.
If the cover is stuck, do not force it open — use a plastic opening tool instead to avoid scratching the case.
Step 2 | Battery
Locate the Battery slot: Identify the small slit at the bottom right corner of the battery, highlighted by a red square.
Ensure the battery is disconnected from the motherboard before proceeding to remove it.
- Gently pop out the edge of the battery with your fingers.
- Carefully pull out the battery while maintaining control over its position.
Step 3 | Midframe
- Remove the screws surrounding the midframe using a Phillips #000 screwdriver.
- There are ten screws, each with a length of 4.2 mm.
Step 4
Use an iFixit opening tool to lift up the back of the device.
- Disconnect it from the front panel.
- If removal is stubborn, use a hair dryer or heat gun to gently heat the edges and soften the adhesive.
