    • If the back cover is not lifting easily, use an opening pick to separate any adhesive that may have resealed.

    • During reassembly:

    • This is a good point to power on your phone and test all functions before sealing it up. Be sure to power your phone back down completely before you continue working.

    • Retaining water resistance after the repair will depend on how well you reapply the back cover adhesive, but your device will lose its IP (Ingress Protection) rating.

    • Use tweezers or your fingers to remove all adhesive from the back cover and the phone. Use heat or isopropyl alcohol (90% or greater) and a coffee filter or lint-free cloth if you're having trouble removing the adhesive.

    • If you're using custom-cut adhesives, follow this guide.

  27. Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus Battery Replacement, Peel back the pull tab: step 27, image 1 of 2 Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus Battery Replacement, Peel back the pull tab: step 27, image 2 of 2
    • Be very careful not to bend, crease, or puncture the battery during the next few steps. A damaged battery can leak dangerous chemicals and catch fire.

    • Peel the battery pull tab away from the battery, towards the left edge of the phone.

    • If you're having trouble getting the pull tab up, use and opening pick or other thin plastic tool at a low angle to peel up a corner. Never use a metal tool on battery, and never press into the battery.

  28. Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus Battery Replacement: step 28, image 1 of 2 Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus Battery Replacement: step 28, image 2 of 2
    • Separate the small, clear tabs above and below the blue part of the pull tab from the rest of the pull tab.

    • Bend these small tabs away from the battery to make sure they stay clear of the battery.

    • If these tabs aren't separated, you won't be able to lift the battery in the next step. You can tape these tabs to the side of the phone or the screen to keep them out of the way.

  29. Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus Battery Replacement, Lift the battery: step 29, image 1 of 3 Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus Battery Replacement, Lift the battery: step 29, image 2 of 3 Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus Battery Replacement, Lift the battery: step 29, image 3 of 3
    • This battery is held by a piece of double-sided adhesive film that is doubled under the battery. When you lift the battery by the pull tab, the left edge will come up, but the right edge will not. You'll remove the remaining film and the battery in the next step.

    • With one hand firmly holding down the frame of the phone, use firm, steady force to lift the blue pull tab straight up until the battery separates from the bottom layer of adhesive film.

    • If you're having trouble, apply 1-2 drops of high‑concentration (90% or more) isopropyl alcohol to the left edge of the battery. Raise the left edge of the phone to let the alcohol flow under the battery and wait one minute for it to soften the adhesive.

    • Lay the battery over the right edge of your phone.

    • Be careful not to bend the battery on the right edge of the phone frame. You may need to peel up some of the bottom layer of adhesive film by pulling the battery up before laying it over the edge of the phone.
