Disassembly/Repair of the mobile device Samsung Galaxy S23 FE SM-S711 (Samsung Galaxy S23 FE SM-S711B, SM-S711B/DS, SM-S711U1, SM-S711U, SM-S711W, SM-S7110, SM-S711N) with each step description and the required set of tools.

⚠️️ Before disassembling, do not forget to turn your phone off.

First of all, we need to remove the card tray, for this we use a special tool, insert it into the hole and push the card tray out.

We need to heat the surface of the back cover to about 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 detaching the back cover.

To do this, we first use a thin metal tool to lift the back cover slightly, because we have the back cover recessed into the middle cover.

We slightly lift the back cover from one edge, insert a thin plastic film and then cut off the adhesive backing with the film, thus detaching the back cover.

We need to unscrew the six screws of the top part, for this we use a Phillips screwdriver 1.5 mm or Philips #000.

It is better to place the screws on a special surface to avoid losing them and in a certain order in case the screws are different.

And after removing the screws, we need to detach the top part.

To do this, we need to disconnect the wireless charging connector. We use a non-metal tool - tweezers with ceramic tips.

We carefully disconnect the connector, and we can turn aside the top part with wireless charging and NFC.

Then also with a non-metallic tool we disconnect the battery connector.

ℹ️️ The Samsung Galaxy S23 FE SM-S711 model has a battery EB-BS711ABY with a capacity of 4500 mAh (also known as a rechargeable battery).

And we can move on to unscrewing the eight screws at the bottom.

We also use a 1.5mm Phillips screwdriver or Philips #000.

After that we need to detach the assembly of cover with the speaker, wireless charging and NFC tab.

As always, we need to find the right place where we can gently hook, lift and remove the assembly.

After that we can disconnect the inter-board cable connectors on the sub-board and on the motherboard and remove the two inter-board cables.

The arrow on the cables shows the direction to the motherboard.

Then we can proceed to disconnect the fingerprint sensor connector on the sub-board.

We need to unscrew the two screws that secure the sub-board. For this we use a 1.5 mm Phillips screwdriver or Philips #000.

Carefully remove the screws and place them on a special surface, separate from the previous ones.

Now we can detach the sub-board. We find the right place for which we gently pry up and remove the sub-board, which we have slightly recessed.

As we can see, on the sub-board we have the charging port, microphone and other elements on the back side.

Using a screwdriver Phillips 1.5 mm (PH #000), unscrew the six screws at the top.

Then we move on to detaching the earpiece speaker unit on the motherboard. We carefully detach the speaker and put it aside.

After that we can disconnect the connector of side buttons and we can also disconnect the front camera connector.

And we can move on to detaching the motherboard.

As always, we need to find the right place where we can hook, lift and remove the motherboard.

We flip the motherboard over and detach the rear cameras.

It's better to hold the cameras so that they don't accidentally fall out and we don't damage the lenses.

We carefully disconnect and put all the cameras aside.

We move on to detaching the battery.

We need to unwrap the wide blue tab, which is located in the middle, and the transparent small tabs around the edges.

Carefully unwrap them so that the tabs that are located on the edges do not hold the battery. For this we can use tweezers, as in our case.

After that, we need to gently pull up the blue tab. So, we gently pull upwards, thus detaching the battery.

Under the battery we have a protective transparent coating.

ℹ️️ In the display frame remained: the front camera, fingerprint sensor, and vibration motor.
