Introduction
Follow this guide to replace the screen assembly (including the frame) on a Samsung Galaxy A15.
To reassemble the device, you'll need replacement adhesive for the back cover, vibration motor, and earpiece speaker. You'll also need a replacement battery - the old one shouldn't be reused due to potential creasing or other damage during the removal process.
What you need

Lift and remove the back cover.

Remove any adhesive chunks with a pair of tweezers or your fingers. Apply heat and isopropyl alcohol (90% or greater) if you're having trouble removing the adhesive.
