[@Gidrah]

DUDE YOU ROCK! I dropped my Note 4 in water and the screen was all black with lines, opened it using this video and a $20 phone repair tool kit, dried the phone and it was like new! Thanks so much!

[@DJ_Gallium]

Wit Rigs what's going on I just want to give you props for your precision and control. I am a tech myself but my degree is in computers. I occasionally work on phones and I appreciate your level of skill. continue to stay humble and teach us more of what you know.

[@EricWitrigs]

Thanks for your kindly feedback, we keep focus on cell phone repair guide.

[@Fkidd702]

Wit Rigs hello Wit Rigs, I have a question. Can I replace the vibration motor without removing the screen? And also is that the power button or volume button that's attached to the flex cable of the vibration motor?

[@Leo7531]

Does can the phone still be reattached without the adhesive mentioned at 0:35, my problem right now is both the lock and vol up/down buttons are stuck/difficult to press, i have some of the tools to open up the device, but if I do everything up to the 1:35 min mark can the phone be reassembled if i do the reverse or will it need that adhesive? @Wit Rigs

[@Assimilator702]

Excellent tear down. Your method of removing the back cover/metal bezel assembly is preferable when attempting to remove the glass/digitizer/screen assembly.

[@parahumanoid]

My S-Pen is always disconnected (after a drop), when I pull it from the housing the phone doesn't bring up the s-pen operations menu. What component is causing this? I was hoping to collect that from your video, but couldn't.

[@ANTHONYONEIL]

Thanks. That's exactly what I needed, to figure out how to get to the charging port. Awesome clarity on the video and cool-ass Pete Rock-style music.

[@MahmudulMithun]

Anyone before try to press to open from back side, make sure you heat it up from front before press. This guy on this video has opened this device before that's why it's so easy to press and open. Even after heat it up, it will be hard to open. Otherwise you will break the screen

[@ManOfMystery91]

my phone is dead even i have changed to a new battery. When charging, i can feel that my phone goes hot especially at the charging port flex connector, so what could be the main problem and what to fix? by the way, I manage to completely disassemble my note 4 and this is my very first time doing so! thank you so much for the guide. :)

[@jpsmooth616]

Thank you for this complete tear down👍.I bought a cracked screen & damaged charging port note 4 for really cheap.got both parts on eBay for about $5 total.fixed it up for my daughter as a back to school gift.😆

[@OMA2k]

If you had a cracked screen, how come you bought a replacement for less than $5?! Screens are the single most expensive component in a smartphone. I think you meant the glass, didn't you? And you still got it for extremely cheap.

[@POProgram]

Great video...but what I would like to know is how do I repair the battery terminals they look to be soldered to the mother board. Where do I get the parts and can It be done on my own or do I have to suck it up and go to a repair center?

[@Joaquimsimoes26]

I wonder if I can take apart and then paint the side of the color of gold or only remove the color with remover?

[@EricWitrigs]

サイモンキム We haven't tried that before. That maybe a funny test. And if you have done that test, plz tell us the result.

[@joeycarr1398]

Lots of practice needed to reassembly correctly. Excellent video!

[@dadr-h4890]

Nice video. Would you happen to know if there is a FM antenna built in to this device and if so how to activate it?

[@EricWitrigs]

Dad R-H Sorry, we don't know. May be you can ask the Samsung customer service for help.

[@lalaburger5963]

I have a galaxy note 4 and the sides made from aluminum are in pretty beat up condition. Can I replace the aluminum sides without removing the screen and do you know where I can buy it?

[@easywhitechocolate]

I wanna do the same thing! The scratches from drops are now starting to turn darker, it looks like they're rusting.

[@DeltaBravo9398]

+Christine Aflak yeah you can buy the frame online ive bought one to change it to a new phone and got a new screen to fix the cracks on it will be all new.

[@easywhitechocolate]

+DAZZA B I ended up finding the frame on eBay for like $12 but I don't really trust the quality even though it says it's real aluminium (I have a Note 4). Plus, it would basically cost the price of a new phone to get it replaced here in Sydney.

[@DeltaBravo9398]

+Christine Aflak yeah lol says real it is always probs like a copy in think the same

[@EricWitrigs]

+Chris Gomez Here is the video showing how to replace the note 4 mid-frame: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHKYpIeDjalll5Y. Here is the original note 4 mid-frame replacement : bit.ly/1R5YcPI.

[@powerfultoa7]

Sigh, the good old days when removing the battery was so much EASIER

[@sdutango]

There are still phones like that but I don't remember if there're any high end phone that have removable battery... so sad.

[@no.1_trustno1]

And this was the end model for removable back covers.

[@PaddytotheK]

and all screws where the same length...

[@dystopesia]

can you upload a video on how to replace the glass screen of the note 4?

[@EricWitrigs]

Akber Naqvi Hello. The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 screen replacement : kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2ack4porcZopLs

[@hieuphamelson]

Hi,I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910C.When I take out and put in the SPen,it's still vibrates and also when I take it out the air command still pop up on the screen.But the problem is I can't use the pen on the screen so I think maybe the sensor didn't connected properly or something.So can you make a video on how to open the phone and connect that part ? I'd be very happy if you help me out ! Thanks :((

[@re_styles]

I ended up with the exact same S Pen problem. What did you end up doing?

[@a1challenged]

Is there a way to remove the screen without breaking the stylus flex material? almost every video i see it gets ripped.

[@TimHaunFishing]

It is going to get ripped no matter what. It's so frail and thin it's just going to happen. The idea is to take your time and do it carefully gradually applying moderate amounts of heat so that it is more likely to be freed from the adhesive without large tears. When it is removed you should carefully fold the tears back down and tape them together as is seen in many other Note 4 repair videos. Whoever did this disassembly did an absolute awful job of removing it and ended up ruining the stylus sensor, which will have to be replaced, or a new screen with the stylus sensor pad already installed will need to be purchased

[@gunitkeith]

I have a Galaxy Note 4's that the screen needed repaired and this is very helpful

[@helios8262]

Do you have an online website where you fix other people's cellphones? Like can u fix it for the costumes and the costumer pays you?

[@EricWitrigs]

helios 82 Sorry, we don't. We just provide free phone repair guide videos and sell phone replacement parts on website. You can fix your phone following our videos or send it to the local repair shops for help.

[@GUYANAPRODEUCTION]

Does anyone know if its possible to just change the digitizer or outer glass rather than the whole LCD assembly ?

[@zanatoasdrackard1823]

+Samuel Chandool the digitizer and lcd are glued together. but it can be done and is very hard to do and most of the time the lcd will brake. so you will end up getting the digitizer/lcd assmy. so as a tech I always just get both and replace both.

[@nabinkhadka6251]

does tearing of copper plate behind the display effect?

[@rycelover1146]

Excellent tutorial on how to disassemble the Note 4, and helpful since I need to replace my rear camera, but, silly question ... do you have a video of how to put everything back together, including what types of adhesives or glue to use?

[@EricWitrigs]

Michael Zhu Note 4 Assembly Tutorial :kzbin.info/www/bejne/noTdY3yplq2ogqs

[@cesarlanderos184]

I've read that the galaxy s6 has the same IMX240 camera as the note 4 but with a f1.9 lens. Do you think they can me interchangeable?

[@JAYRAY00]

Excellent Witrigs, helpful as always :-)

[@JeseSLU]

Were those big pink squares liquid indicators?

[@SuperAdnan117]

The ones with crosses in them? Yes, more specifically, moisture indicators, warranty requirements I suppose...

[@NotAnonymousNo80014]

Those are thermal conducting pads... the reason why so many Note4s fail with age.

[@tomgunc]

My S Pen stopped working and trying to crop pictures were not being allowed. As soon as I would remove the S Pen and it would make the noise it usually does to notify you that it has been removed the screen would freeze. I called AT&T and had to deal with that ordeal for over an hour. They decided to send me a new one including a new battery which they usually will not do unless you pay for the battery and shipping. AT&T has treated me so well over the years. Just about at the 8 month mark and this is the only issue I have had with Note 4. Hopefully noting else will happen but I love having that 1 year warranty. Same thing happened as far as warranty was concerned on the iPhone 5 I previously had and I got a new one at the Apple store. I think it's time to go back to Apple next year when they bring out the iPhone 7. Was told it was coming out this year but that is highly unlikely.

[@Nirand1000X]

Thank you very much😃😃😃

[@Bri5150]

Hi, I replaced the power, volume and home button and changer port all at once. Everything works now but the touch screen. Any idea what to check? Never had that problem before. S pen also still works, just not touch.

[@kingmacaraeg9352]

dude thank you soo much. you dont know how you help me. really appreciate your vid.

[@thebigtragedy]

my note 4 camera has a slow focus i heard that is a hardware problem . something might be loose you think? any suggestions?

[@EricWitrigs]

thebigtragedy Two possible. The camera is broken or the ic of the motherboard is broken. You have to test it by professional to determine that.

[@xryokaii]

Hi Wit Rigs, Do you have any idea how to fix the GPS issues? The gps just keeps going gps signal lost. If you know how can you make a video tutorial on how to fix it? Thanks

[@diyaanush]

Hello. I need to change my antenna the blue and white cables. Do i need to remove the screen also?

[@fyucaa]

No. You don't have to remove the screen unless you need to replace it.

[@angelc1771]

where can i get the schematic for galaxy note 4 sm n910t...where it shows all the circuits and parts

[@Omfcody1]

What model Galaxy Note is this? I need to know if the Sprint model screen will fit in the Verizon model.

[@EricWitrigs]

IAmGoombaSniper It is Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910F. All the models of screen are compatible.

[@Omfcody1]

Thanks! I'm always weary when using other model screens.

[@EricWitrigs]

IAmGoombaSniper You're welcome. If you are not sure the parts, you can try to contact the customer service staff for a check.

[@khalifa1942]

[@TheFMG07]

Hi, I need to change only the Loud Speaker I have the SM-N910H in White color, what part I need to buy for this specific model? or I need to change the Full MidFrame?

[@EricWitrigs]

TheFMG07 Hello. You only need to replace the loudspeaker. This is the original Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Loudspeaker replacement part, which is compatible with all Note 4 - www.witrigs.com/oem-loudspeaker-for-samsung-galaxy-note-4. We will offer the loudspeaker replace tutorial video in next week, subscribe us if interest.

[@desalvo55]

My Note 4 went for a quick swim. Of course now I have no display and bad behavior overall. Is it worth fixing myself? The top left LED still lights appropriately but whenever I try to turn the phone on, it vibrates shortly and that's it.

[@EricWitrigs]

+Michael De Salvo The screen was broken, you can watch this note 4 screen replacement video for some repair tips: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2ack4porcZopLs

[@re_styles]

Did a motherboard swap on mine and works great except for the S Pen is not working. Any suggestions?

[@heatherm.8830]

Well.... I took my daughters apart because the home button was acting odd. Put it back together and turn it on and it it just makes sounds like it’s on. Any way to make the screen work?

[@zodiacfml]

thanks. I had to do a mobo transfer. shame on Verizon for locking down a very old phone with no possibility of rooting. I took another motherboard from another Note 4, albeit, loss of camera

[@HistoriaMundi98]

I know this video is 5 years old, but i really need some help. I manage to strip down my note 4 to get the memory card, but i don't know how to access the data inside. Please, all my high school memories are stored in that card. I need to know how to access it.

[@asmi_guitar]

[@216jbreez]

I watch the full video, and i haven't seen you remove the mic on the device. My mic on my note 4 needs replacing. Callers cant hear me when talking. I have to use my headset with a built-in mic. So can you help me figure out what i need to do to fix this problem. Thanks in advance.

[@EricWitrigs]

hello can u point out where the power IC is situated? my note 4 wont charge properly (Sometimes very quickly) i thought it was battery problem. I changed the battery and performed the factory reset. The problem still persist. When turned on it will boot till home screen (apps showing) and then will abruptly restart and then it keeps on doing that. Works fine on charge though. I think its power IC issue. Am i right? please guide. thankyou
