Samsung Galaxy S25 FE Back Cover Replacement

Allow the battery to drain below 25% before starting this repair, as a charged lithium-ion battery may catch fire if damaged.

A fully charged battery can be hazardous if damaged during disassembly.

• Disconnect all cables from your phone.
• Completely power off the device by pressing and holding both the side key and volume down button, then selecting Power off.

Cracked glass can cause injury or complicate disassembly.

• Apply packing tape strips to the cracked glass until completely covered.
• A single strip of tape must be applied across the bottom edge, allowing a suction cup to fit.
• Tape should only cover the glass, not the frame.
• Consider wearing safety glasses to protect your eyes during the repair.

Improper heat gun use risks damaging the display and/or battery.

• Apply an iOpener to the bottom edge of the back cover for two minutes.
• Alternatively, use a hair dryer or heat gun following proper guidelines.

Heating softens adhesive, making it easier to separate the back cover from the frame.

Be cautious when handling the back cover, as the adhesive can be stubborn and damage the camera lens if inserted too deeply.

• Refer to the picture of the frame's perimeter for guidance on where the adhesive is located.
• When separating the adhesive, start by inserting your tool just under the cover near the cameras.

Position a suction handle directly on the center of the back cover's bottom edge, as near the edge as feasible.

Apply firm pressure to the suction handle until a gap appears between the back cover and frame.

• Hold the phone down with your lifting hand's fingers, or steady the frame with your free hand using caution if the phone is hot.
• Insert the tip of an opening pick into the formed gap.

Apply heat to stubborn areas of the back cover for 30 seconds before attempting separation.

• Insert an opening pick at the bottom edge and slide it up along the seam to detach the adhesive.

Insert the opening pick into the bottom right corner, then slide it upwards along the right edge to release the adhesive.

Insert the pick just 2-3 mm from the camera lenses.

• Guide the pick around the top right corner, then along the top edge to release the adhesive.

Insert an opening pick into the top left corner of the device.

• Work the pick downwards along the left edge, applying gentle pressure to separate the adhesive.

Remove the back cover using a suction handle.

If stuck, reapply an opening pick around the perimeter and separate any remaining adhesive.

• Power on your phone and test all functions before closing it.
• Turn off your phone completely.

Inspect and wipe smudges from rear cameras with a clean, lint-free cloth if necessary.

Ensure replacement adhesive is applied to either the frame or back cover. Use cutouts and contours for alignment.
