Samsung Galaxy S24 Screen Replacement

Allow the phone's battery to drain below 25% to prevent potential damage or fire.

• Power off the device completely and disconnect all USB connections.

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

• Alternatively, use a hair dryer or heat gun on right edge of back glass until hot to touch.

Do not heat phone beyond this point to avoid battery damage from excessive heat.

• Apply a suction handle to the back cover near its center right edge.
• Pull up on the suction handle with strong force to create a gap between cover and frame.

If trouble persists, apply more heat to further soften adhesive.

• Insert an opening pick into the created gap.

• Insert the opening pick at the top of the right edge, between the back cover and the , and slide it down.
• Leave the opening pick in place in the bottom right corner to prevent re-adhesion.

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

• Reheat the iOpener as needed.

Rotate the opening pick around the bottom right corner.

Continue rotating until the adhesive is fully separated.

Insert another opening pick to the left of the existing one.

Make sure this new pick is along the bottom edge, slicing through any remaining adhesive.

Leave both picks in place to prevent resealing of the adhesive.

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

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

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

• Continue rotating until the adhesive starts to separate.

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

Do not insert more than 4 mm deep, as this can damage the rear cameras or flash.

• Leave the top-left opening 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.

Insert the opening pick into the top left corner and rotate it to loosen the adhesive.

Insert a fourth opening pick in the top left corner, ensuring it's at the same depth as the other picks.

• Slide the pick along the top edge of the device.
• Continue around the top right corner to slice through the adhesive.

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

• Slide the pick under the top of the back cover until it starts to snag on the flash adhesive.
• Continue inserting the pick deeper into the phone, feeling for complete separation from the back cover.

Avoid inserting the pick beyond its center point to prevent damage to the rear cameras.

Remove the back cover by lifting its edges and sliding it off the phone.

• If still attached, use an opening pick to slide along the perimeter until separated.

Power on your phone and test functions before reassembly. Ensure it is fully powered down before continuing work.

• Remove adhesive chunks with tweezers or fingers.
• If needed, use heat and at least 90% isopropyl alcohol to aid in removal.

If using custom-cut adhesives, refer to the relevant guide. For double-sided tape, consult the corresponding guide as well.

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

• Align the disconnected press connector over its socket on the motherboard.
• Carefully press down first on one side and then the other until it clicks into place.

Do not force the connector; try repositioning if necessary and attempt again.

Remove the wireless charging coil by taking out its six Phillips screws, each 3.5 mm long.

• There are seven more Phillips screws for the loudspeaker.
• Take out all thirteen screws using a Phillips screwdriver.

• Locate the notch on the left edge of the loudspeaker assembly.

• Use a spudger to carefully pry up the speaker from this point, releasing its clips.

Use a fingernail or flat spudger end to pry up the wireless charging coil and loudspeaker assembly.

• Remove the wireless charging coil and loudspeaker from your phone.
• During reassembly, press around the edges of the loudspeaker to clip it to the frame before reinstalling screws.

Locate the battery cable press connector on the motherboard. Insert the flat end of a spudger under the connector and pry upwards to release.

Use a spudger to gently lift the screen cable press connector by inserting its tip into the cable's base at the lower left edge of the phone.

• Pry the connector upwards carefully to release it from the phone.

• Repeat the process on the motherboard side.

Disconnect the screen cable from the phone.

Align the back cover with the frame and press down evenly with your fingers to lightly secure it.

• No new adhesive should be applied at this step; the old adhesive will suffice for now.
• If you've removed the original adhesive, hold it in place while flipping the phone over, being careful not to damage it.

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

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

• Tape should be laid down carefully to protect against sharp edges.
• Ensure a smooth area near the top edge for secure suction cup attachment.

Use a iFlex or similar tool to create an initial gap between the front glass and frame.

• Grip the iFlex by the handle, not the edges, as they are very sharp.
• Wear protective gear: gloves and safety glasses may be necessary to prevent injury from shattered glass.

Do not overheat the phone — risk of battery damage.

• Apply a hair dryer or heat gun to the top edge of the screen until it's nearly too hot to touch.
• Beware: excessive heat can damage the battery.

Attach a suction handle to the center top edge of the screen, as close to the edge as possible.

• Insert the iFlex at an angle into the gap between the frame and front glass.
• Lift the suction handle with strong force and lower the iFlex so it fits under the front glass. Some separation is normal, but be cautious not to insert too far: the iFlex may damage the front-facing camera if inserted too deeply.

Remove the iFlex and replace it with an opening pick.

• Insert the opening pick at the top left corner of the phone and slide it around to separate the glass from the display.

Slide the opening pick along the left edge of the display to disconnect it from the glass.

• Slide your opening pick across the bottom edge under both glass and display panel.

If stuck, heat the bottom edge of the screen with a hair dryer or heat gun until almost too hot to touch, then try again.

Attach a suction handle to the middle of the screen's top edge.

• Pull upward on the glass unit with moderate force.
• The glass should align at a 90-degree angle to your device.

Careful not to burn yourself with overheated display.

• Lift glass and display layer together towards top of phone.
• Apply heat if necessary, but be cautious as the display will get almost too hot to handle.

Separate the glass screen and display unit.

• Gently lift the front bezel to release the display connector.
• Carefully pull the display unit away from the phone's casing.
