Samsung Galaxy S25 FE Earpiece Speaker Replacement - Samsung Galaxy S25 FE

Step 1 | Safety precautions

Allow the Galaxy's battery to drain below 25% before starting this repair.

Ensure a charged lithium-ion battery is not damaged, as it may catch fire during disassembly.
Disconnect all cables from your phone.

Power off the phone completely by holding the side key and volume down button simultaneously to prevent data loss or damage.

Step 2 | Cracked glass preparation

Glass shards can cause injury; cracked back glass must be contained.

Apply non-overlapping strips of packing tape across the crack, covering only the glass.
Ease a strip along the bottom edge to accommodate a suction cup.

Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes from flying debris.

Step 3 | Heat the back cover

Improper heat gun use can damage the display and/or battery.

Apply an iOpener to the back cover's bottom edge for two minutes to soften the adhesive.
Alternatively, use a hair dryer or heat gun to heat the cover.

Step 4 | Adhesive information

Careful not to damage the cameras when prying the back cover loose.

Note the adhesive's placement around the perimeter of the frame for reference during removal.
Insert tool pry bar slightly under the back cover near the cameras.

Step 5 | Apple a suction handle

Attach a suction handle to the middle of the bottom edge of the back cover, aligning it closely with the edge.

Step 6 | Insert an opening pick

Be careful, as the phone may be hot.

Pull up on the suction handle with strong, steady force until a gap forms between the back cover and frame.
Use your lifting hand to hold the phone down or use your free hand to steady the frame.
Insert the tip of an opening pick into the gap.

Step 7 | Separate the bottom edge adhesive

Apply heat if the back cover feels stuck.

Use an opening pick on the bottom edge to separate the adhesive.

Step 8 | Separate the right edge adhesive

Insert an opening pick at the bottom right corner of the device, carefully working it up along the right edge to break the adhesive bond.

Opening Pick should be applied at the bottom right corner.
Gently slide the pick up along the right edge to separate the adhesive.

Step 9 | Separate the top edge adhesive

Insert a pick 2-3mm near each camera.

Slide the pick along the top right corner and top edge, separating the adhesive.

Step 10 | Separate the left edge adhesive

Slide a pick from the top left corner, working it down the left edge.

Be careful not to apply too much pressure — risk of screen damage.

Step 11 | Remove the back cover

Use a suction handle to lift off the back cover.

If the cover still feels stuck, go around the perimeter with an opening pick and separate any remaining adhesive.

Power on your phone and test all functions before sealing it up — risk of damage if powered down without proper testing.

Power down your phone completely before continuing work.

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

The replacement back cover adhesive will be applied to either the frame or the back cover. Use cutouts and contours to determine where it lines up best.

Step 12 | Disconnect the wireless charging coil

Use the point of a spudger to carefully pry up and release the wireless charging coil press connector.

Step 13 | Remove the wireless charging and loudspeaker assembly screws

Keep track of each screw to ensure it returns to its original position.

Remove six 3.5mm-long screws from the wireless charging coil using a screwdriver.
Remove eight 3.5mm-long screws from the loudspeaker assembly using a screwdriver.

Failing to note the correct screw positions may result in damage to your phone.

Step 14 | Unclip the loudspeaker

Use the point of a spudger to gently pry up and lift the left side of the loudspeaker.

Continue prying until it is fully unclipped.

When reassembling, press firmly around the perimeter of the loudspeaker to engage its clips securely.

Step 15 | Remove the wireless charging and loudspeaker assembly

Hold the assembly with both hands, supporting its weight evenly.

Grasp one side firmly with your left hand.
Secure the other side with your right hand.

Step 16 | Disconnect the battery

Prying at the wrong location may damage delicate surface-mounted components.

Locate the gold arrow marking the correct prying spot for each press connector on the board.
Use a spudger to carefully pry up and disconnect the battery press connector.

Step 17 | Disconnect the earpiece speaker

Locate the earpiece speaker press connector on the upper right corner of the motherboard.

Pry up the earpiece speaker press connector using the point of a spudger.

Step 18 | Remove the earpiece speaker screws

Remove the earpiece speaker's mounting screws using a Phillips screwdriver.

The screws are six in total, each being 3.5 mm long.

Step 19 | Remove the earpiece speakeer

Risk of camera damage if contact with lenses is made.

Use a spudger to lift the earpiece speaker at its center bottom edge until it releases from its clip.
Remove the speaker.

During reassembly, press firmly around the speaker's edges to secure its clips properly.
