hey everyone I'm Kelsey with iFixit and
today I'm going to show you how to
replace the headphone jack in your
Samsung Galaxy s8 for this repair you'll
need an eye opener a Philips triple-zero
screwdriver a set of isaacsohn opening
pics a suction cup a halberd smudger and
a standard smudger 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 iOpener nice and hot
lay it along the edge of the f/8 for
about two minutes we're going to be
softening up the adhesive around the
edge of the rear panel the adhesive is
spin us along the center edge of the
rear panel so once it popped to the
touch apply your suction cup close to
the edge and begin crying upwards 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 revealing and repeat the process
of heating and cutting the adhesive
around the other sides of the phone
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 elegant 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 in
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 the
headphone jack is held in place by just
one screw once it's removed user spudger
two disconnected cables and gently pry
it out that's all for this repair to see
