Samsung Galaxy S25+ USB-C Board Replacement

A lithium-ion battery can catch fire if damaged — let it drain below 25% before starting this repair.

• Unplug all cables from your Galaxy phone.
• Power off the phone by holding the side key and volume down button simultaneously, then select Power off.

Press the SIM eject tool, a bit, or a straightened paper clip into the SIM card tray hole.

• The hole is located on the bottom edge of your phone.
• Continue pressing until the tray ejects.
• Avoid confusing it with the adjacent small mic hole.
• Once ejected, carefully remove the SIM card tray.

Cracked glass shards can cause injury or complicate disassembly, so cover it first.

• Apply packing tape strips over the cracked glass until fully covered for containment and suction cup adhesion.
• A single strip of tape should be across the bottom edge, big enough for a suction cup to fit on.
• Tape only covers the glass; avoid adhering it to the frame.
• Consider wearing safety glasses to protect against loose glass particles.

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

• Use an iOpener on the back cover's bottom edge for two minutes to soften the adhesive.
• Alternatively, apply heat with a hair dryer or heat gun.
• Follow safety guidelines when using a heat gun.

Separate the adhesive from the frame, referencing the provided picture.

• Insert tool under cover near cameras, only slightly, to avoid damage.

Position the suction handle on the bottom edge of the back cover, directly over its center.

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

• Suction Handle: maintain strong force during removal.
• Hold phone with one hand, using fingers or free hand for stability.
• Caution: phone may be hot; handle with care.
• Insert opening pick tip into the gap formed between back cover and frame.

Apply heat if the back cover is stuck.

• Slide the opening pick along the bottom edge to separate the adhesive.

Insert an opening pick at the bottom right corner and slide it up along the right edge.

• Apply gentle pressure to separate the adhesive.

• Insert the pick a few millimeters towards the cameras to prevent damage.
• Guide the pick around the top right corner, then along the top edge to break the adhesive seal.

Insert an opening pick at the top left corner of the device and slide it down along the left edge, working to loosen the adhesive.

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

• If stuck, go back around the perimeter with an opening pick to separate remaining adhesive.
• Power on your phone during reassembly and test all functions before sealing it up — risk of electrical issues if sealed with problems present.
• Power down your phone completely before continuing work.

• Inspect rear cameras for smudges, gently wiping them with a clean, lint-free cloth if necessary to prevent damage.

• Back cover adhesive: apply to either frame or back cover. Use cutouts and contours to align best.
• If matches the back cover, follow this guide. If matches the frame, use that guide instead.

Use the pointed end of a spudger to carefully pry up the wireless charging coil press connector.

Keep track of each screw to avoid damaging your phone.

• Remove six 3.5 mm screws securing the wireless charging coil using a Phillips screwdriver.
• Then, remove seven more 3.5 mm screws securing the loudspeaker assembly.

Insert the point of a spudger into the gap between the loudspeaker and the enclosure.

• Pry up and lift the left side of the loudspeaker until it unclips.
• During reassembly, press firmly around the perimeter of the loudspeaker to engage its clips.

Remove the wireless charging and loudspeaker assembly using both hands.

• Hold one end with each hand for better control.

Prying at the wrong location can damage the surface-mounted components.

• Locate the gold arrow on the board, indicating where to pry.
• Use a spudger point to carefully pry up and disconnect the battery press connector.

Use a spudger to pry up and release the two press connectors on the USB-C board's top edge.

• Optionally, for better access, you can remove other ends of cables from the motherboard.

Remove the USB-C board using a Phillips screwdriver.

• Target and remove two 3.2mm screws

Ensure the SIM card tray is removed before attempting to remove the USB-C board.

• Insert a spudger point under the left edge of the USB-C board and gently lift until it unclips.

Do not damage cables during removal.

• During reassembly, keep USB-C board connection cables out of the way to avoid snagging.
• Insert the board at a slight downward angle, guiding the port into its recess.

Avoid pressing on small surface-mounted components during assembly.

• With the board in place, press down firmly on the top edge to secure it.
