Samsung Galaxy Note10 Plus 5G Rear Cover Replacement

Power off your phone completely.

• Apply a preheated iOpener to the left edge of the rear cover for one minute.
• Alternatively, use a hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate; however, be cautious not to overheat as this 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, cover it with clear packing tape for better adhesion.
• Alternatively, use strong tape instead of the suction cup or superglue it directly if necessary.

Pull up on the suction cup with strong, steady force to create a gap between the rear cover and frame.

If you encounter difficulties, reapply heat and try again as the tool's effectiveness may vary depending on your device's age.

• Insert an opening pick into the created gap.

Slide the opening pick along the left edge towards the bottom left corner to slice the adhesive.

• Do not insert the opening pick more than halfway into the phone, as this may damage internal components.
• Leave the pick inserted in the bottom left corner to prevent the adhesive from re-sealing.

Continue with a repeat heating and cutting procedure for the remaining three sides.

• Leave an opening pick on each side before moving to the next.
• This will prevent resealing of the adhesive.

Do not remove any picks yet, as this may cause the rear cover to seal back shut.

Remove the rear cover by lifting it straight up.

• Refer to the reinstallation guide for detailed instructions on replacing the adhesive and reinstalling the rear cover.
• Ensure your device is turned on before proceeding with testing to verify the repair's success.
• Failing to test the device may lead to compromised functionality or other issues.

If using Tesa tape, consult its dedicated reattachment guide for specific instructions.
