Samsung Galaxy Note10 Plus 5G Front-Facing Camera Replacement

Power off your phone completely before starting disassembly.

• Use an iOpener or alternative heating tool (hair dryer, heat gun, hot plate) to apply heat to the left edge of the rear cover for one minute.

• Be cautious not to overheat the phone, as it can cause damage to the display and internal battery.

Apply a suction cup to the heated edge of the rear cover as close to the edge as possible.

• If the rear cover is badly cracked, apply clear packing tape for better adhesion.
• Pull up on the suction cup with strong, steady force to create a gap between the rear cover and frame.
• Apply more heat if necessary, as this may be difficult depending on phone age.

Superglue can be used as a last resort, but ensure proper removal is possible.

• Insert the point of an opening pick into the gap once created.

Do not insert the opening pick more than halfway into the phone — risk of damage.

• Slide a pick tool along the left edge towards the bottom left corner, slicing the adhesive.
• Leave the pick inserted at the bottom left corner to prevent re-sealing.

Continue heating and cutting each remaining side of the phone.

• Leave an opening pick on each side, moving to the next without removing the previous one.
• The rear cover will separate from the phone as you complete all sides.

• Lift the rear cover straight up to remove it.
• Follow this guide for reinstalling the rear cover and replacing the adhesive.

• Turn on your device and test the repair before installing new adhesive and resealing.

• If using Tesa tape, follow this guide for reattaching components.
