Samsung Galaxy S25+ Earpiece Speaker Replacement

Allow your Galaxy's battery to drain below 25% before starting this repair — a charged lithium-ion battery may catch fire if damaged.

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

Cracked glass can cause injury or complicate disassembly.

• Apply packing tape strips over cracked glass, ensuring complete coverage.
• A single non-overlapping strip of tape should be placed across the bottom edge, big enough for a suction cup to fit.

Only apply tape to the glass itself, avoiding the frame. Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes from flying debris during repair.

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

• Apply an iOpener to the bottom edge of the back cover for two minutes, or use a hair dryer/heat gun to heat it.
• If using a heat gun, follow safe usage guidelines.
• The adhesive will soften after heating; proceed with separating the back cover from the frame.

Separate the adhesive from the frame, using the provided image for reference.

• Insert your tool carefully under the back cover near the cameras, only slightly and with great care to avoid damaging them.

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

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

• Use one hand to hold the phone steady, or use your other hand to grasp the frame with care – be aware that the phone may be warm.
• Carefully insert the tip of an opening pick into the newly created gap.

Apply heat if necessary to loosen a stubborn back cover.

• Run the opening pick along the phone's bottom edge to break up the adhesive.

Slide a credit card or similar tool around the bottom right corner and up the right edge of the device.

• Insert the pick just a few millimeters near the cameras.
• Slide the pick up the top right corner and along the top edge to loosen the adhesive.

Insert an opening pick into the top left corner of the device and slide it downwards along the left edge, working gently to separate the adhesive.

Use a suction handle to lift and remove the back cover.

If still 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.

• Make sure to power down your phone completely before continuing work.

• Check the rear cameras for smudges, wiping them gently with a clean, lint-free cloth if necessary.

Apply replacement back cover adhesive to either the frame or the back cover.

• Use cutouts and contours to see where it lines up best.
• If matching the back cover, follow this guide.
• If matching the frame, use that guide instead.

• Six 3.5 mm-long screws securing the wireless charging coil
• Seven 3.5 mm-long screws securing the loudspeaker

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

Reassembly: Press firmly around the perimeter of the loudspeaker to engage its clips.

Hold the wireless charging and loudspeaker assembly firmly with both hands.

• Gently lift upwards with both hands.
• The assembly should come loose easily.

Prying at the wrong location risks damaging the fragile surface-mount components.

• Locate the gold arrow on the board, which indicates the correct prying location for each press connector.
• Use the point of a spudger to pry up and disconnect the battery press connector.

Locate the earpiece speaker press connector on the top right of the motherboard. Use the point of a spudger to gently pry it up and disconnect.

• Be sure to use the correct type of driver for safe removal.

Use a spudger to lift the earpiece speaker by its center bottom edge until it unclips.

• Remove the speaker from its location.

Be careful not to touch cameras or surface-mounted components with the spudger during disassembly and reassembly.

During reassembly, press firmly around the perimeter of the speaker to secure its clips.
