  1. Samsung Galaxy Note10+ Screen Replacement, Heat the rear cover: crwdns2935265:01crwdnd2935265:01crwdnd2935265:01crwdne2935265:0
    • Completely power off your phone before you begin disassembly.

    • Prepare an iOpener and apply it to the left edge of the rear cover for one minute.

    • A hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate may also be used, but be careful not to overheat the phone—the display and internal battery are both susceptible to heat damage.

  2. Samsung Galaxy Note10+ Screen Replacement, Insert an opening pick: crwdns2935265:02crwdnd2935265:01crwdnd2935265:03crwdne2935265:0 Samsung Galaxy Note10+ Screen Replacement, Insert an opening pick: crwdns2935265:02crwdnd2935265:02crwdnd2935265:03crwdne2935265:0 Samsung Galaxy Note10+ Screen Replacement, Insert an opening pick: crwdns2935265:02crwdnd2935265:03crwdnd2935265:03crwdne2935265:0
    • Apply a suction cup to the heated edge of the rear cover, as close to the edge as possible.

    • If your rear cover is badly cracked, covering it with a layer of clear packing tape may allow the suction cup to adhere. Alternatively, very strong tape may be used instead of the suction cup. If all else fails, you can superglue the suction cup to the broken cover.

    • Pull up on the suction cup with strong, steady force to create a gap between the rear cover and the frame.

    • Depending on the age of your phone, this may be difficult. If you are having trouble, apply more heat to the edge and try again.

    • Insert the point of an opening pick into the gap.

How do you take the front glass screen off the OLED display/ screen? I couldn't find anything on this site. You would think they would because you can buy just glass screen that goes on the front of the OLED display.

Austin Morrison - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

Hi Austin,

Removing the front glass requires slicing through the LOCA (liquid optically clear adhesive), which is pretty tricky to complete and requires specialty tools. The screen glass part by itself is bought primarily by refurbishment/repair shop companies that have the necessary tools to complete that kind of repair.

Arthur Shi -

Hello, does fingerprint sensor and face recognition works after replacing display+frame assembly? New part is original, not OEM.
