Samsung Galaxy Note10 Rear Cover Replacement

Completely power off your phone before disassembly.

• Prepare an iOpener and apply it to the left edge of the back panel for one minute.

Use a hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate with caution: excessive heat may damage display or internal battery.

Apply a suction cup to the heated edge of the back panel, as close to the edge as possible.

• If the back glass is badly cracked, cover it with clear packing tape for better suction.
• Alternatively, use strong tape instead of the suction cup or superglue if necessary.

If still having trouble, reapply heat and try again carefully, as excessive force may cause further damage.

• Pull up on the suction cup with strong, steady force to create a gap between the back panel and frame.
• Insert the point of an opening pick into the gap once the gap has been created.

Risk of damage to internal components if the opening pick is inserted too far.

• Slide the opening pick along the left edge towards the bottom left corner to cut the adhesive.
• Do not insert the opening pick more than halfway into the phone.
• Leave the opening pick inserted at the bottom left corner to prevent re-adhesion.

Insert a second opening pick and slide it along the left side, heading towards the top left corner to slice the adhesive.

Be careful not to remove the original pick as you insert the new one — risk of re-sealing the adhesive.

• Leave both picks inserted in the top left corner to prevent re-sealing.

Heat the iOpener according to the manufacturer's instructions.

• Apply the heated iOpener to the top edge of the phone.
• Leave it on for exactly one minute before proceeding.

Insert a third opening pick into the top edge gap.

• Slide the pick towards the top right corner and slice the adhesive.
• Leave the pick inserted at the top right corner to prevent re-sealing.

Apply heat from an iOpentermally aligned with the right edge of the device for 1 minute.

Insert a fourth opening pick into the gap on the right side of the phone.

• Slide it down towards the bottom right corner to slice the adhesive.
• The back panel will begin to separate from the phone as you approach the bottom edge.

Reheat if you encounter stubborn adhesive.

• Slide an opening pick around the entire perimeter of the phone to release any remaining adhesive.

Remove the back panel by lifting it upwards.
