Samsung Galaxy S6 Disassembly - First Teardown - Phone has never been opened. 

if you dont wanna use a heat gun just use some VR apps, that will heat the bad boy up in seconds.

anyone else think its fishy that all of a sudden we can no longer pull our batteries?

It seems to be designed not to be opened

Awesome dismantling video dude... thankx for the knowledge share😊😊... The best past about your videos is that you show each and every step. Not like some other videos where they zap-up most of the steps....... I am going to be Dr. Frankstine and operate my not working Samsung Galaxy S6.

thank you!! thank you!!! thank you!!!! my phone died and you've helped me fix it. YOU SIR are my HERO

now assemble it back

Just watched you disassemble and then reassemble this phone and I very much appreciate you posting these videos, mine just shit the bed so I gotta dissect it now. Wish me luck.

Thanks for sharing this video. Very useful. How do you put it back together. What adhesive do you use for this, what is the order the pieces should to go in, what heat gun do you use?

Really really gotta be careful when getting the digital screen off. Any slight pressure on the wrong area will crack it right away. Just happened to me -.-;; Heard a *crack* and my heart fell down to the abyss.

What I'd really like to see is you put it back together!! Now, that would be something!

Im sorry but this guy damaged his S6 for us, im now a subscriber! ;)

Hey good freakin' job! I'm an HVAC mechanic by trade and when I've told co-workers I fixed my N5, they go..."you fix phones" LOLZ! "yes, if you can build a model, you can fix these sumsabitches!" Good post

Dude, my heart is broken. While I was seeing this video I was holding my S6 in my hands and I was saying to it "Don't look at this bad guy nobody is gonna treat you that way my love" Oh man how could you?

my S6 has a bad charging port, can this be replaced w/o this complete tear down. great video, nice job!

lol I love this video. using 2 playing cards, a guitar pick and more random tools. being a Samsung engineer I don't recommend following this. one disclaimer I would say it will be evident that the device has been disassembled if you need a warranty fix. so you would void your 2 year warranty.

This has really helped me get more repairs and make more money at work! Thanks!!

I took mine apart, total pain and I didnt mess up behind the battery as bad but there is like an indent in the smooth plastic (back of the lcd I guess?). I then noticed I could make one with my fingernail just as easily as i did with my screw driver. If that smooth plactic (back of the lcd behind the batery) has any indents or markings in it does that mean the screen is trashed?

Hi, great video one question I have done 2 Samsung s6 phones and every time I separate the battery from the middle section I don't have no light on a screen and I can't get to come on no more except there is a blue light that's on and that's it. Thank you

I am really glad to have LG G4. So easy to disassembly this phone :)

Did the phone still work after you disassembled it? I need to know because I broke the display and the screen is black. I can still use it. One more question, what part should I replace if my screen is black? Just the screen? I'm no professional with this, but I'm willing to learn...

superb teardown and patient video mate thanks a lot!

I'm here because I have an S6 & somehow it fell into my recliner chair (no protection at all) & as I got up to get it out,it was lodged in-between 2metal bars that crimped my phone rite at the 8mm jack resulting in the front & rear glass to spider & misshaped my phone on the bottom right (point of impact/crimping is the right side of the 8mm port..that's now a misshapen oval) & now the left side of my phone is crimped downward on an angle.Not sure if im describing this correctly,I cannot find anything like this anywhere to reference from.But in order to give u a visual-If i lay my phone down on its back (please imagine that the rear camera does not stick out)&then look at it at eye level-the top,right,&left sides all lay flat/flush. But *the bottom* doesnt.The left & right corners touches table,but at the right side of the headphone jack,there's a good 1/8" from the phone to the table.(please remember im still looking at it at eye level & can only see the bottom of phone where the charging port is.) Describing from left to right-The left corner touches the table and lays flush for 1/4"-3/8",then inclines sharpley up to the high point at right side of where the headphone jack is(so about 3/4"-1" from the left),then steadly declines downward to the right corner which touches the table...Like I said it is crimped so it's very hard 2 explain..& I really need help..I guess I also need 2 add that the inside of my charging port is broken off and gone (i use wireless charging now).. Also my ear speaker has been messed up lately & when im talkin gonna the phone must use speaker option or else it sounds like the other person is talking to u through a pillow.. Ontop of all that, my phone has always leaked/accumulated this very strange & curious liquid/stain/?? right around the outside of the rear camera lens frame.. The phone has gotten wet many times but I've always used a series of techniques to absorb the moisture.. But other then thise things the phone works perfectly,the visual & touchscreen are fine & are without problems..the crimping indecent happened only a few hours ago so I want 2 move fast.I fear my screen will only get worse and possibly black out randomly.SO PLEASE HELP ME,I NEED ADVICE..& no,I'm not buying a new phone because I'm on a small budget in this department...I plan to fix these issues , have someone assist me in fixing it , &/or also finding a way to get a good deal and build a new phone (from other phones, but with all my phones memory/storage)..thank u 4ur help & time.

Thanks for the video. I somehow lost the grommet by the proximity sensor -- the same one that came out and you found at the 17:50 mark in this video. Where can I get a replacement? Do I need it?

so the galaxy S6 battery is replaceable after all

Damn... I hope my S6's battery will last. My last phone that needed a battery replacement was a Nokia N8 - which wasn't designed to be opened by the owner either - but it only took a few minutes and a couple of screws to undo to swap out the battery when mine died a month after battery-warranty had expired.

If this is about making smartphones hard to repair or simply being disposable, sorry samsung you just lost a loyal customer as not all us have that kind of patience to go through all this hustle and resources to waste. Going back to htc and iphone. Thanks to your studity ingenious!!!

I bought my Phone 3 years ago and my Galaxy S6 has a removable backing and a place to insert a Micro SD card just above the Sim Card. It was easy to install the 64GB SD Card to upgrade from a 16GB. I don't understand why they made some of these phones so complicated. Makes no sense. I only found 1 Tutorial video showing the removable backing and Micro Card insert. Wow... I really love my Galaxy S6 and haven't upgraded because it does everything I need it to do.

Thank you, I wanted to hang to my S6 and change the battery. Glueing a phone shut to make it water resistant is kinda OK, but forcing to undo the back and the front to change the battery is just unneccessary hard. Atleast the screws are all the same length...

can you get the charger port out without pulling the LCD off?

The phone is sealed off to show who owns it. The big corporations and not the customer. Once you buy it, you don't own it but are tied to the company who sold it to you incase of repair or upgrade.

I cannot understand why I have to disassemble and unplug all of that stuff to change the battery??? It seems like most of it is unnecessary. I had the battery unplugged and out before unplugging everything else. Just curious. Btw, very good video, aside from my obvious confusion:-).

Great Video, but I have a question. The speaker of my s6 edge sometimes does not work, sometimes listening very low and it seems as though other saturate and make echo. Any idea why this might happen?

My s6 is beyond saving to say the least (thanks hearthstone...), but i have way too many valuable pics on it! Tho i happen to have another thats working to a sertain extent, how do i change the internal memory card? If its stuck to the motherboard its gonna be a cakewalk as ive disassembled the (totally)broken one allready and the inside seems unharmed.

I'm just fond of your vids !! Great job !

Hi. Great video. Wonder can you advise me? I have a headphone Jack lodged in the phone. The Jack broke and I do not know how to get it out. What would you recommend? Thanks.

I recently purchased a SS S6 and my granddaughter cracked my screen, I purchased a replacement screen on Amazon with hopes that I could repair it myself, however when I got the kit and removed the back of the phone that shattered and then everything was taken out like the youtube video we had, not sure which one it was now, Got the cracked screen off and put the new one on, but I noticed the old screen was tinted and you could not see the inside, but the new screen was not tinted and you can see a goldish/grayish looking background. The phone comes on, but no picture. I took it to the cell phone store, and they told there is nothing I can do for it and I didn't get any insurance on it, so am I pretty much screwed on this phone now???

Those phones are so stupid. You need 20 h to open it. With S4 its so fucking easy

so can you change the battery on it?

you could look for spare adhesive online .so you can figure out the areas that glued .

Is there an SD card in this model? Is there any way to retrieve data from dead S6 phones?

Are you going to do a video on the s6 active or is the screen removal the same?

Hey great video. I have a question. I dropped my phone and the screen doesn't work. I want to be able to get my photos and data off of it because they were not backed up. When I connect the USB to the computer the phone blue light comes on but the comp. doesn't pull up the phone. If I were to get another S6, could I just remove the hard drive from the phone and put it in the phone that works to pull out my data?

Watching an s6 get murdered... on my s6 ;-;

They were complaining about removable battery. Well they got it!

Wow, that's a lot of work to tear the phone down, I watched this because my phone got water damaged. Now I know I am getting a new phone. And even if you get to that stage, who could put it back together?

I am dying that video.. you are awesome bro.. if me, I don't accept to fix the Samsung

Too painful to watch!!

How about a video putting it back together after having dissamble it????????????

I'm only here because I'm curious how repair technician open phones that nowadays are completely sealed.

not bad i like you job you did you best and after you fixed your mistake well all this latest Samsung they just the same now talking about the A-series E-series J-series S-series and Notes they just the same. but we learn from our mistakes

Thumbs down because you didn't use Ace of Spades!!! > Just kidding ..great job! :)

How many stages of that tear down are required to replace the motherboard? Took my S6 to Samsung service cause the HRM sensor stopped working and they say the motherboard needs replacing so I just can't stop wonder how much of that brutal process will be done to my beloved phone😭

Now. Will this destroy the phone after? will i be able to put it back together and use it?

Can we say that its kinda water resistant ?? it look pretty well sealed and saw some video of the phone being submarger and still working

Wow... I just a put a 23 month old S6 into Samsung for a warranty repair... After watching this, I can't believe they're even talking to me about "stripping it down" to see what's gone wrong... Surely it'll go straight in the bin and they'll issue a replacement?

Man this phone come with irreplaceable parts it seems that if you crack your screen it is almost impossible to replace. Good video, now I know to stay away from owning this phone. It would be interesting to see you putting this phone back together now. I bet it's not doable.?

of course the thing i need to repair is the last thing you removed ( the usb port)

Can someone tell me why my phone ( Samsung S6 ) is stuck at 1% and not charging and never dies for 3 months !? Edit : How you opened it!!?

Are there any water damage indicator stickers inside the phone itself? I know there's one on the sim tray but is there another one?

I need to disconnect the recent app button. 1. Will the phone still work? 2. How far do I need to get in to achieve this?

YES

Is it easier to take off the screen once it's been taken off once?

i know you found this trick by now, but to those who are having trouble removing the rear frame, after you get the screws out, flip the phone upside down, put your fingers on the bottom of the frame, and use your thumbs to push, it'll pop right out if all the screws are unscrewed

S6 unleashed wow its cool His channel

Hello! i have a question, what are for, the bands from s6 back with ZF-E4 ? are them important?

That was a cool ripp, Samsung wouldn't be happy seeing this :) anyway i liked it,who cares who don't ;)

If this is the trouble it takes to disassemble an S6, am trying to imagine the difficulty in a unibody note 5 (yet to be announced) especially the part that involves taking off the stylus foil to transfer it to the new screen replacement ... crazy!

I just did a glass replacement... 🤔 it worked

They REALLY don't want people fixing their own phones it seems. I compare this to my Note 3 which is literally just a few screws and there you go.... nuts.

You've already taken metal spatula so why it is not easy to heat and cut the battery from the display?O_o You have to take risks, nice work)

could you please elaborate on how the charging unit and discharging unit works?

thanks for this awesome tutorial. that's definitely not an easy thing to do.

Very nice teardown!

I have a vodafone smart prime 6. is there a chance that something like a network locking SIM to be under the battery ?

When you remove that battery, you do not want to put that tool all the way underneath. It's very, very easy to puncture and cause a leak.

Wet my display port with salt water. Everything on the phone works except the display doesn't turn on.Sprint told me the display port has corrosion so there is a bad connection. Is there a way to change to port or jump the connection to get the display to light up to transfer data?

+How2Tech When you just open the back cover, we see 2 external antenna ports, R1 & R2. Are there any other similar external antenna ports anywhere else? R1 most likely is the main antenna port, but it appears that R2 is not the diversity antenna port. Since you've done a complete teardown, can you help with this?

Hi there, I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 that heats fast and not able to turn on, I just do not know what to do about it. I guess is the batery the problem, can you help me what to do

would a blowdryer work instead of the heat thingy?

Hello, can u tell please what type of heat gun it is ?

good job i have learned from you too much thank you

Watching this on my samsung galaxy s6

Takes me less than 20 seconds to get the back cover off without the use of heat using a fine Stanley knife.

Despite the extended instruction video, I still haven't got a clue on how to insert the simcard of this device!

Great lesson. But what I really need now is how to get a new Samsung S6 battery to buy. Could anyone be of help to me PLEASE!.

When you removed the sim card slot, does it allow for adding a larger micro card in that section to increase it's memory???

hi my phone battery blew up and phone won't turn on or do anything besides get really hot and has a small LED blue light at the top left side fading from light blue to dark blue. all i am wanting is all my data. where in the phone is all the memory kept. like where is the chip for it? thanks

Hi, my Samsung Galaxy S6 SM-G920Fd s motherboard is dead and i cant find motherboard of similar model, is it possible to change with different one e.g Galaxy S6 SM G920F. G920V or G920a or G920T model ones ?

it helped a lot, Thank you so much

Thank you for your video. I have a question, I want to open the back of my s6 but I don't need to replace the cover. Is it possible to re-glue the original cover using the same strips? Do I need to heat the glue and then try to reattach it? Will it stick properly or is it going to be slightly flimsy?

Everyone that gets this phone should get the insurance! They used a unacceptable amount of glue on the battery, in fact they didn't need any, but they want to make sure you destroy the screen so I would be replacing my phone once a month or less with a broken screen or back glass so I still have a brand new phone at the end of my contract!!! It's obvious they're out to screw you so we have to make them pay attention next time and they'll think twice...

hi. where is the internal memory card and can it be used to retrieve data. my phone will not turn on and the warranty expired.

You can buy a good condition used s6 on amazon as the same cost of s6 spare display.

I hope this isn't an inappropriate question but how do you get what seem to be totally viable phones just to break them up? I only ask out of curiosity.

how do I do a data retrieval with this phone with a smashed screen and no recognition when connected into my computer?

Is it possible to replace the original battery with a samsung 3,000 may battery?

You have a nice small heat gun where can I get one from would you mind sending me that information thanks

If anyone is wondering galaxy s6 and galaxy s7 vibrator motors are the same.

What brand heat gun do you use to separate galaxy s6

I FOUND AN EASIER WAY. SMASH THE BACK CORNER WITH A SCREWDRIVER AND HAMMER. CAME OFF STRAIGHT AWAY.
