Right Place for Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra Rear Cameras Replacement
When replacing the rear cameras of your Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra it is important to choose the right place to work. Here are some things to keep in mind.
*You need a Clean Surface. Find a clean flat surface to place your phone and tools. This will prevent any small parts from getting lost or dirty.
*Make sure the area has bright lighting so you can see all the small components clearly.
*Choose a quiet and distraction-free space to focus on the repair without interruptions.
*You also have to consider wearing gloves to protect your hands and safety glasses if you are working with sharp or fragile parts.
*Keep your tools organised and close by to make the process smoother.
Precautions
*After the above two very important considerations you have to take your phone in your hand and check its charging percentage. If it is more than 25% then you have to drain it to less than 25%. Because a charged lithium-ion battery is more likely to catch fire if it accidentally gets damaged.
*Also have to remove all the wired connections from your Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra before the disassembling process.
Step #1. Switch of the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra For Rear Cameras Replacement
*First press the Side key on your phone (it’s on the right side).
*At the same time press and hold the lower part of the Volume key. Keep both buttons held down together.
*After a few seconds the “Power Off” menu will appear on your screen.
*Tap the “Power Off” option on the screen.
*Tap “Power Off” again to turn off your phone completely.
Step #2. Heat Application On the Back Plate
Well we have to apply some heat for melting the adhesive that is securing the backplate with the frame.
Though we can start disassembling without the heating process it might be a hard time. It is better to start with heating which makes separating the adhesive very easy.
*However you can use a heat gun, hair dryer, hair straightener or a hot plate on the back plate of the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.
*Properly apply heat at the entire edges of the back plate.
*While heating please keep checking the phone’s surface with your hands. When it is too hot to touch, it is probably ready for disassembling.
Step #3. Place a Suction Handle
*After the heating process you need to place a suction handle at the right edge of the back plate.
*Please make sure the placing of the suction cup is in the centre.
*Pull the back plate with steady pressure holding the suction handle.
*The purpose is only to create a line gap between the back plate and the frame.
Step #4. Insert An Opening Pick to Separate the Adhesive
*When you see a line gap is created and your opening pick can easily go in then go ahead and insert an opening pick.
*Now remove the suction handle.
*Move the opening pick back and forth to separate the adhesive.
*Make sure all the right edge edge adhesive has separated and release the back plate from his side.
*Now take the opening pick toward the bottom right corner.
*Remember the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra has sharp edges. Slowly turn the opening pick to the bottom edge cutting the corner’s adhesive.
*Now slide the opening pick at the bottom edge to separate the adhesive.
*Well you can leave opening picks to prevent the back cover stick again. But if you are moving fast separating the adhesive then you go ahead without leaving the opening pick inserted at any edge.
*Now from the bottom left corner turn the pick toward the left edge of the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.
*Slide the opening-pick upward until you reach the power button.
*Be careful while cutting the adhesive from the left edge side. Don’t damage the antenna cable.
*Leave the opening pick near the power button to prevent the adhesive from resealing.
*Insert a new opening pick from the right edge of the phone and move it upward.
*Turn the pick from the upper right corner and then cut the adhesive from the top edge of the phone.
*Here you may need to apply heat again. Using your heating equipment apply heat and separate the top edge of the back cover from the frame.
*Then slide the pick from the top left corner and move ahead toward the power button.
*Do not insert the pick more than 4 mm long to avoid damaging the sensor and cameras.
Step #5. Remove The Backplate of the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra
*Make sure you have cut all the adhesive and the back plate can be removed now.
*Grab the back plate with your hand and remove it from the frame.
*If the cover is still sticking to the frame, separate it with the help of an opening pick and release the cover.
*The back plate is free from any cable connection. So you can put it aside just after separating the adhesive.
Step #6. Disconnect Wireless Charging Coil
*Use a flat-tip spudger to carefully lift and disconnect the wireless charging coil’s connector from the motherboard.
*On the motherboard there is a small arrow next to each connector. This connector shows you the best spot to lift. Make sure to only pry in that area to avoid damaging small parts around it.
*Lift the connector slowly and gently to avoid putting too much pressure on the surrounding components.
Step #7. Remove Ten Screws From Wireless Charging Coil And Loudspeaker
*There are ten screws that have to be removed to remove the wireless charging coil.
*Four screws are on the wireless charging coil and six are securing the loudspeaker’s assembly.
*Use a Phillips screwdriver to unfasten the 3.5 mm long screws.
*Keep the screws in a safe place for using them while reassembling.
Step #8. Remove the Wireless Charging Coil and Loudspeaker
*The charging coil is also stuck with adhesive.
*Use a pointed tip spudger to pry up the charging coil tab from the right edge of the phone.
*Now you need an opening pick and insert it into the gap between the right edge of the loudspeaker and frame.
*Pry up the loudspeaker and lift it upward until it can come into your finger’s grip.
*You will have to unclip the loudspeaker from the frame.
*Now hold it with your fingers and remove it along with the changing coil.
Step #9. Disconnect the Battery From the Motherboard
