As for how to replace the Galaxy Note 5 back cover, here comes the tutorial:
Tools needed: screen suction cup tool, heat gun/hair drier, case opening tool, microfiber cloth, rubbing alcohol and some poker cards.
1. Before starting to remove the broken Galaxy Note 5 back cover, apply some transparent adhesive tape on the cracked areas so as not to hurt yourself during the repair. Now start heating the cover to soften the adhesive by running a heat gun or hair drier around the edges of the Note 5 back glass for about 1 minutes.
2. Use a suction cup tool to pull up a gap between the back cover and rear housing, insert a case opening tool into the gap and gently run it along the edges. Then insert some poker cards to lift up more gaps. It’s not as easy as what you see in the below picture, be extremely patient.
3. Heating the edges of Note 5 glass cover again if the adhesive is not soft enough to allow you to insert thecase opening tool or poker cards. Be careful on the four corners as more adhesive is applied there than the other areas.
4. Gently remove the adhesive residue off the rear housing with a microfiber cloth and rubbing alcohol or isopropyl alcohol. Be careful not to wipe the wireless charging chip during this process as it may damage the chip.
5. After cleaning the residue, peel off the protective film from the new Note 5 glass back cover replacement.
6. Gently apply the new Note 5 glass back cover replacement, make sure the camera hole and flash hole are aligned with the camera and flash. Then press down the back cover’s edges ensuring the adhesive is securely attached to the rear housing.
