      • Before beginning this procedure, completely power off your phone.

      • Prepare an iOpener and apply it to the back cover to soften the adhesive.

      • The adhesive of the Samsung Galaxy A51 is very strong. You can use a hair dryer or a heat gun if you aren't able to open the device with the iOpener.

      • Be careful not to overheat the phone—the AMOLED display and internal battery are both susceptible to heat damage.

      • If you can't get between the back cover and midframe with your opening pick, you can use a suction handle or strong tape to pull up the back cover to create a gap.

      • Slide the opening pick to the bottom right corner and leave it there.
