the front-facing camera on the s10 plus
is vital to your everyday selfie life
imagine how terrible it would be if you
couldn't take selfies and upload them to
social media with 20 hashtags no one
wants to think about that so today we're
gonna show you how to replace the
front-facing camera on your Samsung
Galaxy S 10 plus for this repair you'll
need an eye opener a set of iFixit
opening pics a spudger a suction handle
tweezers a Philips double-0 screwdriver
we also recommend using a magnetic mat
to keep screws organized and safe the
galaxy s 10 plus has a ton of tiny
screws that are very easy to lose and
this mat will keep them all in place
before you begin your repair make sure
to discharge your battery below 25% this
will reduce the risk of a dangerous
thermal event if you puncture your
battery during the repair once you're
ready to get started
heat up an eye opener and lay it across
the right edge of the back cover lay a
suction cup on the back of the phone as
close as possible to where you applied
the heat and pull up on the suction cup
to create a gap between the back cover
and the case once you have a gap use the
pic to cut away the adhesive then leave
your pic in place to prevent the back
cover from resealing repeat the process
of heating lifting with the suction cup
and using your pick all around the phone
if the adhesive continues to give you a
hard time try using a heat gun or hair
dryer once you've cut the adhesive from
all around the phone twist the inserted
pics to help separate the back cover
from the frame once it's free you should
be able to lift it right off go ahead
and remove the 16 Phillips screws from
the NFC antenna charging coil and
speaker

then use the tip of your spreader to
remove them both from the phone with
your spudger still in hand disconnect
the battery to cut off power after
disconnecting the battery keep your
spudger in hand and disconnect the
front-facing camera with the pointy end
then use your tweezers to lift the
module out of the phone get your new
front facing camera and set it down in
the gap once it feels like it's nice and
secure go ahead and connect it to the
motherboard make sure you don't forget
to connect the battery then go ahead and
insert the NFC antenna charging coil and
speaker and screw everything back in
[Music]
with all that back in place and new
adhesive applied to your ear panel you
can carefully close up the phone
