Samsung Galaxy Note II Take Apart Repair Guide:​

First, to begin the repair you will need make sure to completely power down your device.

Following powering down the device you can start by taking out the stylus pen and removing the battery cover on back. After the battery cover is removed, take out the battery, memory card, and sim card.

Next use a Small Phillips screwdriver and remove the eleven Small Phillips screws from the device's back housing. In the image below all of the screws are highlighted in red.

Once you have removed all of the screws, take off the device's back housing using a safe open pry tool. Wedge your pry tool into the seam between the chrome bezel and the housing and shim the tool along the sides and edges of the device. This releases the clips in order to remove the housing. Be advised that one of the clips is found just above the battery tray.

​

The motherboard should be exposed following the removal of the back housing.

Then you will need to remove four more Small Phillips screws, shown in the image below highlighted in red.

After all the screws have been taken out you can remove the loud speaker assembly near the base of the device.

Using the pry tool you can now release the antenna and pop connectors which hold the motherboard in place. In the diagram below the connectors and antenna are highlighted in green.

While releasing the connections you will also remove the button flex cable, held to the housing by a small amount of adhesive. The cable is highlighted in orange below and is located on the left side of the device, it should be put to the side for now.

Now that the connections have been released, the motherboard can be completely removed. Cautiously remove the motherboard and be sure not to rip or tear the connections that have been released.

You will notice the main camera located on the motherboard. Using your pry tool release the pop connector which holds the camera to the motherboard. Set the motherboard to the side for now.

​

After you remove the motherboard, additional parts will need to be removed using the pry tool and a Small Flathead screwdriver.

*Figure 3.1* Take out the headphone jack along with the ear speaker.

*Figure 3.2* Remove the front camera and it's sensors.

*Figure 3.3* Using a Small Flathead screwdriver wedge beneath the vibrate motor in order to remove it. The vibrate motor is held in place with relatively strong adhesive and is most easily taken out with the Small Flathead screwdriver.

*Figure 3.4* Next, use the pry tool and lift the antenna cable up and away from the slot and lift away the flex cable.

​

*Figure 4.1* Using either a heat gun (on low heat) or a blow dryer (on medium heat), heat the sides and corners of the screen for 35 - 50 seconds about an inch from the touch screen to loosen the adhesive holding the front housing to the screen assembly. Do this carefully as to not overheat the screen which could create permanent damage to your device. While heating the device you may encounter stubborn areas that will need to be re-heated so that all of the adhesive is loosened.

*Figure 4.2* Next wedge between the seam along the touch screen and front housing using the pry tool. You will most likely find it best to begin with the seam located on the side of the device, and then work toward the bottom of the device while making sure to avoid any damage to the lower flex cable.

*Figure 4.3* Keep prying along the seams of the touch screen in order to release it from the housing and loosen the adhesive holding it in place. The top of the device is more easily loosened using a spudger tool to ensure no damage is caused to the flex cables. While still using the spudger tool, pry above the LCD screen in order to capably feed the cable through the housing slot.

*Figure 4.4* Remove the remaining adhesive that covers up the flex cable.

*Figure 4.5* Near the bottom of the device, using the spudger tool, remove the home button flex cable.

*Figure 4.6* Lastly, take out the home button by simply pushing it out of its housing.

​

Finally, put in the new parts and throw out the damaged parts that need to be replaced, and reverse the above steps in order to reassemble your device.
