hey everyone i'm chelsea with iFixit and
today i'm going to show you how to
replace the battery in your Samsung
Galaxy S 8 for this repair you'll need
an eye opener a Philips triple-zero
screwdriver a suction cup a halbert's
Pledger a set of iFixit opening pics an
opening card in a standard spudger I'm
also going to use my magnetic mat to
keep all my screws organized and prevent
them from rolling away during the repair
now this video is an overview of the
repair process when you actually start
your repair
I suggest you head over to ifixit.com to
check out the full length repair guide
not only will it give you detailed
instructions on the repair process but
you'll also be able to use helpful
photos and see comments from users that
have done the repair before so with that
being said let's get started after
getting your eye opener nice and hot lay
it along the edge of the SI for about
two minutes we're going to be softening
up the adhesive around the edge of the
rear panel the adhesive is thinnest
along the center edge of the rear panel
so once atop to the touch apply your
suction cup close to the edge and begin
prying upward if you don't see a gap
opening up just reapply the hot iOpener
for a couple more minutes this process
does require some patience as soon as
you see a gap insert the cutting edge of
your halberd spudger and slide the blade
down the side of the phone cutting away
the adhesive if you're getting lots of
resistance just reapply the hawk eye
opener for a couple more minutes don't
worry this is the hardest and most
time-consuming part of the repair just
take a deep breath and take your time
once you've separated a portion of the
panel insert an opening pic to prevent
it from resealing and repeat the process
of heating and cutting the adhesive
around the other sides of the fund

once you freed all four sides lift the
rear panel up just a little bit the
fingerprint sensor cable is connected to
the motherboard and it's delicate use
the point of a standard spudger to
disconnect it before you completely lift
it up and off there are a total of 11
Philips triple 0 screws holding the NFC
antenna and charging coil assembly place
once you remove them the pieces will
lift right out the loudspeaker assembly
is next and it's held in place by three
more screws with those pieces out of the
way we finally have access to the
battery connector and can disconnect it
before we move on with our repair we're
going to need our eye opener again this
battery is firmly lead in place after
leaving your eye opener in place to warm
up the adhesive gently begin prying from
the bottom of the battery if you're
having difficulty prying the battery up
hit it again with a reheated Ida program
widen opening picks up the side of the
battery opposite the motherboard and
then lift the battery up and out of the
case that's all for this repair to see
