Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Midframe Replacement

Step 1 Rear Case



• Insert a fingernail or plastic opening tool into the divot to the left of the rear-facing camera.
• Gently pry and twist the flexible rear cover off the back of the phone.
Step 2 Battery

• Insert a fingernail or plastic opening tool into the recess in the bottom right corner of the battery and lift upward.
• Remove the battery.
Step 3 SIM Card
• Remove the SIM card by first pushing the card slightly out of its housing, then pulling it the rest of the way.
Step 4 Midframe
• Remove the sixteen 4.0 mm Phillips #00 screws securing the midframe to the display assembly.
• Grasp the cap of the S Pen and remove it from its slot in the midframe.
Step 5
• Insert a plastic opening tool between the midframe and the display assembly.
• Work the plastic opening tool around the perimeter of the phone to break the adhesive.
• This adhesive is relatively weak, so no heat gun should be necessary.
• Be careful to not separate the front glass panel from the rest of the display assembly, as it is still held together with adhesive.
Step 6
• Use a plastic opening tool to loosen the clasps around the battery housing.
Step 7
• Push on the battery housing to separate the midframe from the display assembly.
• You will have to apply a reasonable amount of pressure to separate the two parts.
