all right today we're gonna be taking apart the Galaxy Note 5 in this video I'm gonna show you how to take off the back replace the screen the charging port everything that's inside you are going to need a heat gun to heat up the back of the phone in order to take off that back piece as well as a giant suction cup this particular one is just a windshield mount where you can take your phone and mount it to your car windshield I'll link all the parts and stuff down in the video description below make sure to take out the S pin as well as the SIM card slot otherwise you'll have problems opening the phone later on and then heat up the back of the phone you want to heat it up consistently all over the the top and the bottom in the middle of the phone so that it's too hot to touch once it's too hot to touch then you can take your suction cup put it around the bottom is where I started off with and then just lift it up just barely enough to slip a metal pry tool underneath use a thin metal pry tool if you use like a razor blade or something thicker it'll put too much pressure on the glass and it'll break the glass I've had it happen before once the back is up high enough you can take a plain card or something thin and slide it between the glass and the phone so that it doesn't reappear back down to the phone again if it gets hard heat up the phone a little bit more because the phone cools down fairly quickly so the more you heat up the phone the easier it is to take off the back this is a lot harder than it looks I've sped this part up a little bit so it doesn't take up as much time in the video but it is really difficult to get the back off of the phone you can take your playing cards and just kind of slice through the adhesive all the way around the backside you can see the white adhesive peeling off from the phone and now the screws so there are 20 Phillips head screws all the way around the back of the phone so you can take those off I will link all the tools you need in the video description below as well and then the back of the phone will just pop off from the motherboard you can see that there's a little bit of adhesive belong to the top there that you have to remove as well you can see here that there's these contact points for the Qi charger those will just rest up against the motherboard and really quickly I'm going to show you how to replace the camera lens there's this little groove up along the top you can just take a razor blade or a thin pry tool and just pop that camera lens off then the Kember lens itself will come in two parts usually the metal frame and the camera lens and you'll just adhesive those together and then put your new lens down into place if yours ever gets broken or anything pretty straightforward now for all these little ribbon cables they're kind of like LEGO pieces they latch onto the mainboard you can just unsnap them you can see we have the earpiece then the screen then down here we have these two wire connections as well as the little ribbon cable for the fingerprint scanner then make sure they're all out of the way while you lift up the motherboard and there's one more ribbon cable connection right down at the bottom and that's for the charging port so snap that off and then that frees up the motherboard now that we have the motherboard we can look at the cameras the cameras also have the same ribbon cable connection also a waffle connection that you can just unsnap like a little Lego piece you can see both the cameras right here to snap them back into place it's also fairly easy just take them line them up over the little slot and press them down so here's a little vibrator motor it's a tiny little guy for such a big phone you can see both the contact points that just rest up against the motherboard like a lot of the other components on this phone so here's the charging port kind of an interesting way they install this thing there's the two wire cables on top of it and one little screw as well as holding it down but you can't lift it off at this point because the menu button in the back button are wrapped underneath underneath the glass of the screen so they're between the plastic and the screen which is really annoying with the galaxy s6 edge you would just pop right off and then you can replace your charging port right there so in order for us to replace the charging port we have to remove the mid frame from the screen so we're going to take off the battery first same thing with this I'm just going to heat it up with my hot-air gun make it so that's too hot to touch and then slide just kind of pry up with my pry tool making sure not to slice underneath because the battery will rip and you'll have to replace it if it breaks open then it can take my playing cards and kind of slice through the adhesive underneath since it's not metal the playing cards are a lot safer now the battery is off kind interesting you see the date up here at the top of the battery and so right here you can see the plastic frame pressed up against the screen there's no glue along this little thin side so I'm going to take my playing card and just slide it up underneath this spot and then heat up the bottom because there is glue holding the glass onto the plastic frame now I've taken my little pry tool and slid it between the plastic in the glass kind of where that button slides down between the two layers once they're separated I can take my playing card and slide it between them to make sure they don't stick back together again and then treat this the same way as you did the back of the phone making sure it's consistently hot because as soon as it cools down that adhesive is going to read here and be really hard to separate so be consistently heating up the the plastic frame on the screen and this is really hard as well make sure you do not bend this brain at all or the LCD will crack and you'll just need to buy a new screen here is the screen it comes with the LCD the glass and the digitizer they're all one piece and so if you break one of those layers either the glass or the LCD you'll just have to replace the whole thing I don't think a glass only repair is possible with this phone I would be very impressed if someone can do it now that the screen is off I can work on the charging port you can see that the buttons were just wrapped around that back plastic so once they pry those off the charging port comes loose from that plastic frame and you are good to go I will link to replacement charging ports and you know all the other parts down in the video description just like always you can see that the home button as well can be replaced it just slides through this back hole in the frame very very similar to the the Galaxy Note 4 up here with the earpiece just really quick I'll show you how these come out there's this little metal latch that pops up then the earpiece and proximity sensor are all in one unit so I'm going to unplug those and then slide them back in their little slots and pin and back down again so replace your new charging port it will come with its own adhesive usually if you're not putting your same one back down again just pin those buttons back around in place and then you can take your plastic and put it on top of the screen new screens will also come with their own adhesive if not you can use that double-sided tape that I've put in the video description you can see right here there is a little groove in that mid frame that sits right underneath between the LCD and the glass layer so make sure that it's lined up and it's not going to pinch against that when you press it down and again now we can set the motherboard back into place making sure to clip the charging port to the bottom of the motherboard first and then you can take the rest these ribbon cable connections and pin them back down where they came from pretty straightforward take a little wire cable connections and put them down into place as well and the battery slips in on top of the mid frame and plug that into the motherboard I usually do that last so that there's no electricity coursing through the board while I'm working on it it's a little bit safer way to do things then the back frame goes on and then at this point you can turn the phone on because that power button is connected again with the two little contact points everything looks like it's working so I put those twenty screws in place and then if you buy a new rear back it will come with its own adhesive but since this is my old one I'm just going to use the double-sided tape put that down push the back into place and everything works there any questions be sure to ask them in the comment section below make sure to watch the bin test video as well that pretty interesting thanks dumb for watching hope this video helped you out and don't forget to subscribe
