Introduction
Disassemble a Samsung Galaxy Amp 2 in order to replace a faulty home button. You may want to replace the home button if it is damaged or unresponsive. The most time consuming step is removing the screen, which is a bit tricky. You will need angled tweezers, four plastic opening tools, and a heat gun or blow dryer. You will also need a PH000 screwdriver in order to unscrew the motherboard, which holds the home button in place.
