Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus Screen Replacement

A fully charged lithium-ion battery may be a safety hazard — drain it below 25%.

• Remove any cables from your phone.
• Press and hold the side key and volume down button, then select "Power off" to turn off your phone.

Apply a iOpener to the right edge of the back cover for 2 minutes.

• Alternatively, use a hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate, but be careful not to overheat the phone.
• The display and internal battery are susceptible to heat damage.

• Attach a suction handle to the back cover, ideally near its center on the right edge.
• Pull up firmly on the suction handle to create a small gap between the cover and frame.

If a gap is hard to achieve, apply more heat as needed, but be cautious not to overheat — follow iOpener instructions.

• Insert an opening pick into the created gap.

Slide a pick back and forth along the right edge to separate the adhesive.

Leave the pick inserted near the bottom right corner to prevent the adhesive from re-sealing.

Apply a heated iOpener to the bottom edge of the back cover for 2 minutes.

Insert the opening pick into the bottom right corner and rotate it slowly.

Be careful not to apply too much pressure, which may damage the screen.

Insert a second pick at the bottom right corner.

• Slide the opening pick to the bottom left corner to separate the adhesive.
• Leave the pick in the bottom left corner to prevent the adhesive from resealing.

Apply iOpener to the left edge of the back cover for 2 minutes.

Hold the opening pick at the bottom left corner and rotate it gently.

Be careful not to apply excessive pressure, which can damage the surrounding components.

Insert a third opening pick at the bottom left corner.

• Slide the pick toward the top left corner to begin separating the adhesive.
• Leave the pick near the top left corner to prevent resealing of the adhesive.

Apply iOpener to top edge of back cover, heating for 2 minutes.

Insert the opening pick into the top left corner and gently rotate it.

• The goal is to loosen the adhesive.
• Continue rotating until the adhesive starts to separate from the phone's casing.

• Insert a fourth opening pick into the top left corner.
• Slide the pick toward the top right corner to begin separating the adhesive.

Do not remove the pick from its position near the top right corner, as this may cause the adhesive to reseal.

• Locate the square of adhesive above the flash.
• Position the opening pick tip next to the flash.
• Slide the opening pick under the back cover's top edge, applying gentle pressure until it catches on the adhesive.
• Gently lift the cover while sliding the pick down toward the bottom of the phone until the adhesive is released.

Remove the back cover.

If not lifting easily, use an opening pick to separate any resealed adhesive.

• Power on and test phone functions before sealing.
• Power down completely before continuing.

Remove all adhesive from back cover and phone using tweezers or fingers.

If trouble persists, use heat, isopropyl alcohol (90%+), and a coffee filter or lint-free cloth.

If using custom-cut adhesives, follow this guide.

Use a spudger to carefully pry up the wireless charging coil press connector from the motherboard.

• Locate the recommended prying location indicated by an arrow near each connector on the board.
• To reconnect, align the connector over its socket and gently press down with your fingertip-first one side, then the other-until it clicks into place.

Do not force the connector into place.

If trouble persists, reposition the connector and try again.

Remove six Phillips screws that secure the wireless charging coil.

• Then, remove seven Phillips screws that secure the loudspeaker.

Insert the spudger into the notch at the top left corner of the loudspeaker.

• Pry gently up to unclip the loudspeaker from the frame.

Use your fingers to gently lift the loudspeaker away from the frame.

• Remove the wireless charging coil and loudspeaker from the frame.

When reassembling, press around the edges of the loudspeaker to ensure it clips securely to the frame before replacing the screws.

Use a spudger to carefully pry up the display cable press connector, located at the bottom edge of the phone.

• Make sure to pry only the connector and not the surrounding components.
• Gently rock the spudger back and forth while applying gentle pressure.

Disconnect the display cable press connector using a spudger.

• Pry the press connector away from the motherboard.
• Remove the display cable

Place the back cover onto the frame to protect the battery and internal components.

Do not apply new adhesive at this step, as it will need to be removed later; the existing adhesive will suffice.

• Flip your phone over so that the screen is facing upwards.

Never overheat the phone, as the battery is prone to heat damage.

• Apply gentle heat from a hair dryer or heat gun to the top edge of the screen.
• Continue until it reaches a temperature just shy of being too hot to touch.

Apply overlapping strips of packing tape to cover the cracked screen.

• Create a smooth surface near the top edge to allow for safe removal using a suction cup.

When handling sharp metal tools like the iFlex, avoid gripping them by the edges with bare hands.

• Prepare a thin, rigid tool such as an iFlex for creating initial gaps between parts.

• Consider wearing gloves and safety glasses to protect yourself from glass shards when removing the front glass.

• Be cautious of sharp metal edges on tools that could cause injury if mishandled.

Insert the iFlex or similar tool into the notch just enough for a small gap between glass and display.

Avoid inserting too far to prevent damaging the front-facing camera.

• Apply a suction handle to the top edge of the screen, as close to the edge as possible.
• Pry up the glass with the suction handle while gently pushing the iFlex between glass and display.

The front glass may peel away from the display, causing discoloration; this is normal for disassembly.

Rotate the iFlex around one top corner of the front glass until a suitable gap is formed.

• Insert an opening pick into the gap and remove the iFlex.
• A plastic tool like an opening pick reduces risk of glass shattering.

Apply an opening pick along the edges of the front glass to loosen the adhesive.

• If separation is challenging, heat the phone's sides with a hair dryer or heat gun until warm.

Remove the front glass from its frame.

• Lift the front glass to detach it from the frame.
• Gently pull the front glass away from the surrounding area and remove it.

Insert an opening pick under the display panel.

• If separation is difficult, apply heat from a hair dryer or heat gun to soften the adhesive.

Start by sliding an opening pick along the edges of the display panel, working to loosen its adhesive bond with the frame.

Be careful not to damage any components attached to the back edge of the display panel.

• Slide the opening pick under the components at the bottom edge to avoid damaging them.

• Grip a corner of the display panel and slowly peel it off the frame.
• If needed, use an opening pick to separate the adhesive underneath the display panel, taking care not to damage the front camera.
• Remove the display panel.
