Samsung Galaxy S24 Earpiece Speaker Replacement

A fully charged lithium-ion battery can be hazardous when damaged — let it discharge below 25%.

• Power down the device completely, then unplug all connected cables.

Careful not to overheat, as excessive heat can damage the battery.

• Apply an iOpener to the right edge of the back cover for two minutes.
• Alternatively, use a hair dryer or heat gun to heat the right edge until it's hot to touch.

Apply a suction handle to the back cover, centered on the right edge.

• Pull up firmly with strong force until a gap forms between cover and frame.
• If needed, reapply heat for extra adhesive softening before proceeding.
• Insert an opening pick into the created gap.

Insert the opening pick into the right edge, sliding it between the back cover and the frame to cut through the adhesive.

Leave the opening pick in the bottom right corner to prevent re-sealing of the adhesive.

Reheat the iOpener and apply it to the bottom of the back cover for two minutes.

• Hold the pick firmly and rotate it around the bottom right corner.
• This should help loosen and separate the adhesive.

Insert a second opening pick to the left of the first one.

Continue sliding it along the bottom edge to slice through the adhesive.

Leave your opening pick in the bottom left edge to prevent resealing.

Reheat the iOpener and apply it to the left side of the back cover for 2 minutes.

Hold the opening pick at the bottom left corner and rotate it slowly to loosen the adhesive.

Insert no more than 4 mm to avoid camera/flash damage.

• Slide a new opening pick along the left edge, near the top.
• Leave this new pick in place to prevent resealing of the adhesive.

Reheat the iOpener and apply it to the top of the back cover for 2 minutes.

Place the opening pick in the top left corner and rotate it slowly.

Apply gentle pressure — avoid applying too much force, which may damage the screen.

Insert a fourth opening pick into the top left corner, angling it to match the others.

• Slide it along the top edge, maintaining the same depth.
• Guide it around the top right corner and continue slicing through the adhesive.

Insert a fifth opening pick above the camera flash cutout.

• Do not insert the pick too deep, risk of damaging rear cameras.

• Under the top back cover, feel for snag on the flash adhesive.
• Continue to separate adhesive from back cover until complete release.

Remove the back cover by its edges.

• If still attached, use an opening pick to separate the cover from the frame.

Power on your phone and test functions before sealing. Power down completely before proceeding.

• Remove adhesive chunks with tweezers or fingers.
• If necessary, apply heat and isopropyl alcohol (90% or greater) to aid removal.
• For custom-cut adhesives, follow the specific guide.
• For double-sided tape, follow the specific guide.

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

• To reconnect, align the press connector carefully over its socket on the motherboard.

Do not force the connector; if necessary, reposition and try again.

Remove the screws using a Phillips screwdriver.

Insert the flat end of a spudger under the battery cable press connector, located on the motherboard. Pry up carefully to disconnect.

Position the spudger under the left side of the earpiece speaker connector.

Pry upwards gently to avoid damaging the connector.

Once disconnected, remove the spudger and inspect the area for any remaining debris.

Remove the earpiece speaker by unscrewing its five 3.5 mm long Phillips screws.

Position the spudger under the earpiece speaker assembly's bottom edge.
