Samsung Galaxy S24 Front Camera Replacement

Allow the phone's battery to discharge below 25% to avoid potential fire hazards with a damaged lithium-ion battery.

• Power off the phone completely.
• Remove all connected cables.

Do not apply excessive heat, as this may cause battery damage.

• Apply the iOpener or use a hair dryer to heat the right edge of the back glass for two minutes.
• Wait until the edge is hot to the touch, but avoid overheating the phone.

Apply a suction handle near the center of the right edge.

• Pull up on the suction handle with strong force to create a gap.
• If needed, reapply heat for additional adhesive softening.
• Insert an opening pick into the gap.

Insert an opening pick into the right edge, moving it along the border to separate the back cover from the frame.

Leave the opening pick in place at the bottom right corner to prevent re-adhesion.

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

Use a precision opening pick and rotate it around the bottom right corner of the device.

Apply gentle prying motions to avoid damaging the surrounding components.

Insert a second opening pick to the left of the first, sliding it along the bottom edge.

Be careful not to press too hard and damage the device.

Leave the original 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.

Position the opening pick at the bottom left corner of the device.

• Rotate the opening pick slowly while applying gentle pressure.
• The adhesive will begin to separate, allowing for easy access.

Insert a third opening pick above the last one, and slide it along the left edge.

• Make sure not to insert the pick more than 4 mm deep to avoid damaging the rear cameras or flash.
• Leave the pick in place in the top left corner to prevent resealing of the adhesive.

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

Hold the pick at the top left corner and gently rotate it.

Apply gentle pressure only — excessive force may damage the screen.

• Place a fourth opening pick in the top left corner, inserting it at the same depth as the others.
• Guide this new pick along the top edge and around the top right corner to cut through the adhesive.

Insert a fifth opening pick directly above the camera flash cutout.

• The opening pick should be inserted under the top of the back cover until it starts to snag on the flash adhesive.
• Continue to insert the pick deeper into the phone, stopping when you feel the adhesive separate from the back cover completely.

Do not insert the pick any deeper than its center point to avoid damaging the rear cameras.

Remove the back cover by lifting its edges.

• If still stuck, use an opening pick to gently pry the cover from the frame around the perimeter.

Power on and test all functions before reassembling.

Ensure your phone is completely powered down before proceeding with further disassembly.

• Remove any remaining adhesive chunks using tweezers or fingers.
• Apply heat and 90%+ isopropyl alcohol if necessary to aid removal.

For custom-cut adhesives, refer to the specific guide provided.

For double-sided tape, consult the associated guide for reapplication instructions.
