all right check us out we have the note2 and the samsung mega right next to each other with their batteries and an iPhone 4s for size comparison these are some gigantic phones today we're going to take apart the samsung mega there are 14 screws surrounding the outside of the phone and instead of making you watch me take apart each screw I'm just going to diagram them out here you can pause this if you need to and then to separate the screen from the phone itself it's exactly like the galaxy s4 where it's in the middle of the silver bracket around the outside there's a little opening I just spread it open with my finger a little bit and then slip my pry tool in and swiped it around the outside edge gently unclasping each clasp as I circled the outside and then at the top inside the little battery compartment there's another little latch gave me a little trouble to squiggle it around a little bit and then you'll see that the back just slides away from the rest of the phone right here you can see the loudspeaker as well that's also attached to the back and I'll go back to that in a second here's a charging port you could technically get inside this phone switch the charging port and be completely done in about three minutes the charging port is that easy to fix I unclick the two ribbon cables up at the top and I'm just swiping my pry tool underneath the charging port just unsticking it from the tape below it and that is it the charging port is out and ready to swap Samsung usually has these for about 10 bucks or so I'll list them in the video description below as soon as they become available that way you can swap yours out if you need to there's a little riot wire cable that I just unclipped you just lift it up two ribbon cables up at the top one ribbon cable at the side and another one up by the audio port headphone jack right here there's like little Legos you just unclasps one from the motherboard and then there's one screw right in the middle of the motherboard that holds the whole thing down is the only small screw on this whole thing all the rest of screws are the same size you'll see one more wire cable right here that I'm going to lift up and off the board and then one more ribbon cable that's kind of on that little leg of the motherboard right down here and missed it the first time around unlatch it right there and the motherboard comes loose from the phone and you can also see the camera right there that just had a little ribbon cable that you can unclasped as well so if you need to switch out the camera is pretty straightforward so here's the screen of the phone this is what you will be replacing if you ever crack it or drop it I will also link another video that shows how to separate the glass but the success rate on that is very very low so I would recommend replacing the whole thing as a unit the headphone jack and everything else depending on you know what screen you get you might need to swap out the headphone jack and the earpiece there's just a little screw at the top it lets all those loose as well as the camera anyway putting the motherboard back into place right now making sure all of the wire cable wire cables and ribbon cables are on the right side of the motherboard which is the upper side and not pinched down beneath just clicking them all into place you got to make sure that they sit right before you apply any pressure so you don't bend any of the connections so I'm going to find little groove it sits in and then press it down just like a little Lego lifting this up making sure the ribbon cables on the upper side of the motherboard as well once again any replacement parts and stuff you can find in the video description below if you need anything specific just leave me a comment or email me and I'll find it for you make sure you get the right parts you're not wasting your time or your money right now I'm just clipping in one of the little wire cables you got to be really careful with the head of it so I'm being super gentle as I press it down into place because you only got one chance of this if you bend one of the heads on these wire cables then you just got to get a new wire cable and they're kind of hard to find same thing with this other side being super careful super gentle making sure it lines up and then clipping it into place just making sure all the wires and all the cables are pressed down getting that final screw back into place as well if you forget to latch one of the little ribbon cables and you get the whole phone put back together then you got a you know waste your time and open it all back up again so check twice before you put everything back together charging ports going back in I'm just going to press it down into place over the glue where it was before snap the two ribbon cables that connect it to the rest of the phone get them in place slide it down inside a little groove that it was sitting in and place the back in place as well so here is the speaker it has those two little connectors that attach to the motherboard and that's how the speaker that's attached to the frame gets its power clip in the frame back into the screen right here you'll hear a bunch of little tiny clicks as all the latches go back into place sitting completely flush again there's nothing to indicate that the phone was opened you get all these screws back into place again all 14 of them on this gigantic phone batteries back in backs back on and everything works if you any questions make sure to leave them in the comments don't forget to like if this
