      Can you follow a step-by-step guide?

      Can you use a screwdriver to remove 5-10 identical screws?

      Can you use spudgers of varying sizes?

      Can you use a hair dryer?

      Then you can change the battery on your Samsung phone.

        I guess the answer to at least one of those is no. Last time I tried a battery replacement, I broke the screen either during assembly or disassembly. I build my own desktop PCs, and have fixed laptop monitors and drives, but every time I attempt hardware repair on something phone-ish, I make it worse (even going back to when I owned an OpenMoko).

          You haven’t had to touch the screen on a Samsung phone since like the S6, every model after that opens from the back.

            Yeah so?.. They still managed to break it because battery replacement in a phone is not as easy as pop off the panel and replace.
