Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra Wireless Charging Coil Replacement

Discharge the battery to below 25% and handle swollen batteries with care to avoid a thermal event.

Step 1 | Heat the rear cover

Step 1 image

Completely power off your phone before disassembling it.

  • Apply an iOpener to the left side of the rear cover for one minute to loosen any adhesives.
  • A hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate may be used instead, but exercise caution to avoid overheating and damaging the screen and internal battery.

Step 2 | Insert an opening pick

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

If your back glass is badly cracked, consider covering it with clear packing tape for better adhesion or use strong tape instead of a suction cup. As a last resort, superglue the suction cup to the broken panel.

  • 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 your phone's age.

Insert an opening pick into the gap no more than 5 mm to avoid damaging internal components.

Step 3 | Begin to cut the adhesive

Insert a pick tool into the top right corner and slide it down the right edge until you reach the bottom right corner.

Leaving the pick inserted in this position will help prevent the adhesive from sealing again.

Step 4 | Cut along the perimeter of the rear cover

When cutting through the adhesive, do not insert the opening pick more than 5 mm into the phone to avoid damaging internal components.

  • Repeat the process of heating and cutting along the three remaining sides of the rear cover.
  • To add new picks, insert them in the gaps created by existing picks in each corner.
  • Leave an opening pick in each corner to prevent re-sealing as you proceed.
  • Slide a pick around the phone's perimeter to release any missed adhesive. Reheat stubborn areas as needed.

Careful: prying under the edge of the connector only prevents socket and surrounding component damage.

  • Use a spudger's pointed end to pry up and disconnect the wireless charging coil press connector.
  • For re-attachment, align carefully and press down on one side until it clicks, then repeat on the other – never press the middle.

Misaligned connector pressing can bend pins, causing permanent damage.

Step 7 | Disconnect the white press connector
