How to Fix Common Issues

Screen burn-in

OLED burn-in is permanent. Replace the display. Run screen-off timeouts to prevent future burn-in.

S Pen not working

The S Pen digitizer is part of the display. Screen replacement usually fixes S Pen issues. Check that the slot is not obstructed.

Overheating

Clean the thermal paste and ensure the heat pipe is seated. Check for background apps draining the battery.

Camera glass broken

The rear camera lens cover can be replaced separately. Heat to soften adhesive. Apply new adhesive and press the new glass into place.

Repair Steps

1

Power Off and Heat

Power off and drain battery below 25%. Apply heat at 85°C around the edges for 2 minutes to soften adhesive.

2

Remove Back Glass

Use a suction cup and plastic picks to separate the back glass. Work slowly - the glass is fragile. The wireless charging coil is attached to the back.

3

Disconnect Battery

Disconnect the battery connector first. Then disconnect the display and other flex cables.

Camera Glass

The rear camera lens cover can be replaced separately. Use a heat gun to soften adhesive. Apply new adhesive and press the new glass into place.

7

Reassemble

Reconnect all cables. Apply new adhesive to the back glass. Press firmly to seal.

Test

Power on. Test display, S Pen, cameras, and wireless charging.
