Einleitung

Cracked the screen on your shiny new Galaxy Note 5?Use this guide to replace a cracked or broken display on your Samsung Galaxy Note 5. In this guide, you will be melting the adhesive holding the back glass in place. Then, you will seperate the middle housing before removing the display.

Note: The display removal process usually destroys the display, so only follow this guide if you are replacing the display with a new one.

    • Insert a SIM Ejector Tool into the small hole on the left side of the top edge of the device.

    • Heat the back of the device with a heat gun for two minutes.

    • Once the device is very warm to the touch, place a suction cup near the bottom of the back of the device.

    • Make sure to place the suction cup on the flat part of the glass.

    • Gently pull upwards on the suction cup to separate the rear glass from the body of the phone.

    • While pulling upwards, insert a pick under the rear glass

    Ouch Didn't get it hot enough? Hopefully you ordered the back plate too, luckily they ain't too expensive

    • To disconnect flexes, carefully pull up on the exposed tab with tweezers.

    • With the motherboard removed, slowly pry off the battery with tweezers, starting at the bottom.

    • Be careful not to puncture the battery as this could cause permanent damage.

    I use a curled plastic guitar pick to get underneath the battery. It’s a really bad idea to use metal tools for this.

I am working in fixing my own Note 5. I have heard that double-sided tape made specifically for this task are best. You can find different options here: https://www.magazingsm.ro/adeziv-geam-si...

I have now replaced the display on my Note 5 and actually I didn’t even use the glue I bought. The original glue is quite a lot and the new display comes with glue on the back of it. Thanks again, Alexander, for your helpful instructions!

Cristina -

You say no u hing about being careful about the switches ribbon cables or thr push button. I guess you assume that it come as part of the screen assembly. Will it doesn't. Complete moron to leave a step out of the instructions.
