Step 2. Remove the tray

First of all, we need to remove the card tray.

To do this, we use a special tool, insert it into the hole and carefully push out the tray for memory cards and sim cards.

If the tray does not come out well, we can additionally use tweezers.

Step 3. Open the back cover

Next, we need to heat the surface of the back cover to approximately 70 degrees Celsius or 160 degrees Fahrenheit. For this we use a heating mat, you can use a hair dryer.

And after 5 to 7 minutes, we can move on to detach the back cover.

To remove the back cover, we will use a thin plastic film, but first we need to slightly lift the back cover, because we have a back cover slightly recessed in the middle cover. So, we carefully with a thin tool pick up the cover, create a small gap, and in this hole insert the plastic film, run it along the edge, cutting off the adhesive backing.

We need to be careful around the side buttons and we need to be careful around the cameras so we don't accidentally damage anything.

Step 4. Unscrew the screws

After that we need to remove the ten screws at the top.

For this we use a one and a half millimeter Phillips screwdriver or Philips #000.

It looks like all the screws are the same, but still, we recommend that you place them on a certain surface in an easy to remember order so that you don't confuse anything when reassembling.

So, then we need to detach the middle cover.

First, we use a thin plastic film, insert it into the gap between the middle cover and the display frame near the card tray hole and then we use a thicker tool and run it along the edge to detach the clips.

We need to be really careful on the corners, because in these places the cover is held especially tightly.

The cover has the contact pads and the antenna transmission lines.

Find the right place where we can hook, pry and gently lift the motherboard.

Step 15. Remove the battery

And finally, we move on to detaching the battery.

As we can see, in our case we have two transparent tabs with the letter A on the edges and a blue tab in the middle that needs to be unwrapped. And as we can read from the description, we need to pull the middle blue tab upwards.

That's what we're going to do.

So, we need to unwrap the transparent tabs on the edges as carefully as possible. We need to bend the display cable and press it and gently pull the blue tab upwards to detach the battery.

For some reason, it is in cases with Samsung smartphones to detach the battery in this way is always not quite easy.
