Hey there! In this video, I will guide you through the entire process of performing a Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra screen replacement. If you’ve damaged your device, whether it’s a cracked screen, unresponsive touch, or pixelated display, don’t worry—I’ll show you how to fix it right at home. With the right tools and a bit of patience, you can restore your phone to its former glory. Before we get started, make sure you have the necessary tools. There’s a link down below in the description to a premium toolkit that includes everything you’ll need to perform this repair yourself.
The first step in your Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra screen replacement journey is to power off your device completely. This is crucial to prevent any electrical damage during the repair process. Once the device is off, you’ll need to heat the back glass cover to loosen the adhesive that holds it in place. For this, you can use a hairdryer, heat gun, or a hot plate. If you’re using a hairdryer or heat gun, be sure to move it around consistently and avoid staying in the same spot for too long to prevent overheating and potential damage to the phone’s internal components. Heat the back cover until it’s too hot to touch for more than a second.
After heating the back cover, you’ll need to remove it. To avoid burns, it’s a good idea to wear rubber gloves. Take the suction cup from your toolkit and place it near the charging port at the bottom of the back cover. Gently pull up on the suction cup until you see a slight opening between the back cover and the phone’s body. At this point, insert a plastic pry tool or a business card folded in half into the opening to start breaking the adhesive seal. Work your way around the edges of the back cover, being careful not to apply too much force. If the phone cools down, you may need to reheat it before continuing. Once the bottom part of the back cover begins to lift, you can gently pull it off completely, revealing the internal components of your Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra.
With the back cover off, you’ll see the wireless charging pad, loudspeaker, and other internal components. The next step in the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra screen replacement process is to remove all screws holding down the internal covers. Start by unscrewing and disconnecting the cable for the wireless charging pad, then carefully peel it back to expose more components. Remove the loudspeaker and any other screws securing internal parts.
Before proceeding further, disconnect the battery flex cable to cut off power to the device, ensuring that no electricity flows through the phone while you work. This step is essential to avoid short circuits or accidental damage. Once the battery is disconnected, you can remove the screen cable and proceed to the next stage of disassembly.
Now, you have two main options when performing a Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra screen replacement: replacing just the glass screen assembly or replacing the entire screen assembly with the frame. If you’ve opted for just the glass screen assembly, the process will involve heating the edges of the screen, carefully removing the damaged glass, and replacing it with the new one. This method is more cost-effective but also more challenging, as it requires precision and care to avoid damaging the LCD underneath.
However, if you’ve chosen to replace the entire screen assembly with the frame, you’ll need to take the phone apart completely. Start by disconnecting all flex cables connected to the motherboard. Remove the screws securing the motherboard and gently lift it out of the phone. Be sure to carefully remove smaller components like the front camera, ear speaker, and antennas, setting them aside in a safe place.
Next, use a plastic pry tool to lift the battery out of its compartment. The battery is secured with strong adhesive, so you may need to apply heat to loosen it. Once the battery is out, you can remove the old screen assembly and prepare to install the new one.
With the old screen assembly removed, it’s time to install the new one. Start by placing the new screen assembly into the phone’s frame. Make sure it’s aligned properly and that all components fit snugly into place. Begin reassembling the phone by first securing the antennas and then placing the volume and power button rockers into their respective positions.
Carefully reattach the motherboard, ensuring that all flex cables are properly connected. It’s important to be methodical during this stage to avoid missing any connections or improperly seating any components. Once the motherboard is in place, reconnect the flex cables, leaving the battery flex cable for last. This will help prevent any accidental electrical shorts during the reassembly process.
Once all components are securely in place, reattach the metal brackets and screws that hold everything together. Double-check that all connections are secure before proceeding to the final step.
Before reattaching the back cover, inspect both the back cover and the phone’s frame for any debris, leftover adhesive, or damage. Clean the surfaces if necessary to ensure a smooth reattachment. Carefully position the back cover over the phone’s frame, making sure it’s aligned correctly. Apply gentle, even pressure around the edges to secure the cover in place. The adhesive should bond well with the frame, creating a seal that protects the internal components.
If you notice that the adhesive isn’t sticking properly, you can reheat the edges and press down again to ensure a tight seal. This is especially important in maintaining the phone’s water resistance.
Congratulations! You’ve successfully completed your Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra screen replacement. Now, it’s time to power on your device and check that everything is working as expected. If the screen lights up and responds to touch inputs, you’ve done a great job. Test all functions, including the camera, speakers, and charging port, to ensure the repair was successful.
