Use this guide to replace a worn-out or dead battery in your Samsung Galaxy A40.
If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions. For your safety, discharge your battery below 25% before disassembling your phone. This reduces the risk of a dangerous thermal event if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair.
You’ll need replacement adhesive to reattach components when reassembling the device.

Kijk uit voor de vingerafdrukscanner. De flat cable kan aan de behuizing blijven hangen, en kan dan afscheuren.
You can remove the cover for the fingerprint contact AFTER you remove the plastic mid-frame, so when re-assembling it you can get access to the cable connections.
If you DO try to remove the plastic cover first, it probably WILL go flying at great speeds, so cover the area with your hand, or put a finger on it.
I tried from the top, with a tiny flat-head screwdriver & it went flying, I dont think that was the right place to bend, maybe try from one of the sides?

If possible, turn on your device and test your repair before installing new adhesive and resealing.
Secure the new battery with pre-cut adhesive or double-sided adhesive tape. In order to position it correctly, apply the new adhesive into the device at the places where the old adhesive was located, not directly onto the battery. Press the new battery firmly into place.
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order. Apply new adhesive where necessary after cleaning the relevant areas with isopropyl alcohol (>90%).
For optimal performance, after completing this guide, calibrate your newly installed battery.
Take your e-waste to an R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler.

Hey, thanks a lot! I was able to replace the battery thanks to your tutorial. The only problem was that you didn't mention to remove the fingerprint scanner before removing the back cover. Without that, the cable jumps out of the port while removing the back cover.
Tutorial ziet er geweldig goed uit, stapsgewijs en zoveel informatie! Alleen doet dat mij besluiten om het niet zelf te doen maar hiervoor naar telefoon reparatiewinkel te gaan.
