Galaxy S5 Headphone Audio Jack Replacement How To Change

[@aleyn3683]

1:56 I would add that you have to remove the glass AND the LCD (in general adressing every component by its name) and that they should stick together. Otherwise, you can easily separate the glass from the display, however, your display will absolutely break while dismanteling. Your glass functions as stabiliziser. In my case, the glass was broken and I had to replace it anyway. It didn't bother me to break it further, however, I now broke my lcd too, had to buy it too, ... and so on. The rest of the replacement was easy. Another tip would be to show the warming process (in muted), too, to give an idea for the ideal warmth areas (especially regarding the adhesive in the middle, which is a bummer!) and to light / better show some processes. (f.ex. 4:40) I would like to thank you for your video!

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

@ Brandon Martinez because the way they positioned it it's between the front and back so you need to take everything apart from the front to get to it... It's a stupid design in my opinion...

[@boneless9305]

is this basically same for s4

[@jimpaulissen1555]

+Matt Stern nope! on the s4 you can replace any part by opening it from the back

[@diytheproway782]

Awesome video and explanation, thanks! I've come up with the easiest solution ever for this problem, check out my channel for more! Greetings!

[@t3hSurge]

Thank you for the video. I used toothpicks instead of guitar picks, and damaged a bit of paint under the glass. With patience and a bit of cosmetic damage the new jack is working great! Really any disassembly video would work, but yours is the best of the few I watched.

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

Awesome thank you!

[@Lamborghiniman5150]

Surgery went successful for me. Thanks for the video. I didn't use any new sealant so I will keep it away from water but I planned to anyway.

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

+Brad Hartmann Thanks good for you!

[@aaron4820]

Thanks a lot for this video, I think I will only attempt this fix when the S6 is released, so if I really screw it up, I'll have an excuse to get a new one... but right now it looks way more complicated than I had hoped. Out of interest, what's wrong with your audio jack? Mine is crackling every now and then, I thought it was the headphones at first, but testing with a few other sets I had shows that it was the jack.

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

Yeah it's quite a bit more complicated than I had hoped. Since they went to the waterproof thing with this model they had to really change stuff around. Mine actually was ok yet at the time of this video. I did this in hopes of helping others needing to do this process. Thanks.

[@Rich__L]

Just watched this and was dreading having to do this myself. Gone are the days of easy disassembly like the Galaxy S2. I used the flashlight on the previously mentioned S2 and realized the only problem with my headphone port was a tiny rock nestled in the very bottom preventing the jack from seating. Straight pin was all I needed thankfully. If you have a similar problem, inspect the jack carefully before having to tear the phone apart.

[@StephenSynchronicity]

+Smart Easy DIY @Smart Easy DIY If you used the hair dryer to melt the adhesive on the screen in order to pry it up, how did you re-adhere the screen? Did you not apply any kind of adhesive in the rebuild? If I were to reapply adhesive, do you know what type of adhesive needs to be used?

[@FinyxRox]

Very well put together video, I might just try and fix mine after I replace it or get an mp3, since music is a necessity for me. thanks again, dude!:D

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

+E. Xalcean You're welcome.

[@GRTYoutube]

Thank you for taking the time to make this video, and the one for replacing the charging socket, it made keeping my phone working a lot easier, and importantly kept it out of land fill :-)

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

Awesomeness glad to hear it! 😊

[@namename2.072]

this video was super helpful. my headphone would randomly disconnect and reconnect and then stopped working completely so I figured the jack was faulty. watched this till I saw how it connects and then squeezed the phone just above the connector and it fixed instantly... hope it stays functional for a while

[@mattm1982]

Holy crap very glad I read this comment. Tried the same thing (squeezing as hard as I could on and around the jack and connection). My phone has been disconnecting from my music as the tiniest slightest movement which is incredibly annoying. After doing this it seems to have been fixed.

[@suewoon4770]

I tried squeezing the phone too and it has fixed my headphone connection problem. Thanks for the video - the repair looks hazardous for an undamaged screen.

[@AnneElliot06]

This is a good video, but a couple points that aren't mentioned... 1) The screws on my phone we too tight and stripped when I tried to take them out. Had to pull out my dremel to cut some new groves after other methods failed. But that was fun. 2) The glass and lcd screen is very, very fragile. Super easy to break. Be prepared to replace both if you try this. And that's not a cheap fix. :( Sigh. I failed.

[@mohitl1697]

Thanks for this.. managed to do the repair, while breaking the home button ribbon. Screen fine so will replace the button when it arrives :)

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

+Raj Shah Ok sorry man. Sounds like you got a plan though.

[@xChrisS41x]

A few warnings: 1. Be careful not to go too far into the case when removing the screen, especially at the bottom, as you could damage the connectors for the "back" and "menu" keys (like i did). 2. Be careful not to apply too much heat at once as the glass part of the screen could crack (like mine did, but the touchscreen still works). BUT: I successfully managed to replace the audio jack, the damages are minor (you can barely see the cracks once the screen is turned on and the navigational keys are not that important) and it only cost me 5$ :)

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

+xChrisS41x Thanks for sharing your tips.

[@26sankalpahumagain93]

Thanks bro, now u gonna get a new suscriber from Nepal. KEEP IT UP👍

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

+sankalpa humagain Awesome thanks I appreciate that!

[@Jorge.O85]

Thanks for the video friend! Well explained.

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

You're welcome glad it helped.

[@bj2094]

What kind of adhesive would you recommend for this?

[@jackdiller9087]

My camera often gets stuck (used--think there's some dirt in there) when trying to move to focus the lens. I tap it occasionally, to free it up. Not violently, just enough. Noticing the contact for the ribbon connector on the camera, where it attaches to the PCB of the main board, I think I may have tapped it loose. When I plug in headphones I hear a beep every second, feedback, definitely not generated by the device. The device doesn't recognize I've plugged anything in. I think I just need to reconnect this ribbon connector, but as you guys do phone repair, I thought I should ask your opinion first. I'm highly experienced with this sort of thing, I build computers, do PC repair, bla bla bla. Does that sound plausible/likely? Thanks guys. Great video by the way.

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

+Jack Diller Thanks glad it helped. I would say it sounds like something came loose inside yes.

[@jackdiller9087]

Then I'll definitely be messing around with it soon! Haha, thanks for replying so fast.

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

+Jack Diller No worries. Take care.

[@ryanrose4355]

Do i need the adhesive tape or can it be done with out it?

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

If you want to retain your water resistance then you need to.

[@OddAndAbout]

+Smart Easy Repair are you talking about the orange adhesive strips as well? if so what can I use to replace it with? and where can I buy that adhesive? the link you provided in the description only shows the adhesive around the edge not the orange adhesive. thank you.

[@LumoEdits]

replacing a cracked screen must be childs play for you haha :D

[@harkiratsinghtiwana]

hi there. How does one replace the earpiece for the same mobile (S5)? Thank you in advance.

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

+Harry Tiwana I have a video about that if you check my channel. Thanks.

[@harkiratsinghtiwana]

Hi there. Thank you for the reply. I am sorry but i cannot seem to locate any such video next to all of your Galaxy S5 videos. Could you by any chance share the link to it. Because of you, i am confident enough to repair the rest of my phone but my earpiece is also stuffed(the entire phone had gotten run over by a few cars - Otterbox saved the majority of it) Thank you

[@harkiratsinghtiwana]

www.cellspare.com/samsung/galaxy-s5-g900/samsung-galaxy-s5-ear-speaker-module?limit=100 That is the part i need to replace on my phone.

[@frotz661]

I see the adhesive strips for the edges on eBay, but not the coppery-colored strips you point out on the interior.

[@loranwit]

Everything went smoothly. Followed you step by step took my time.. put my phone back together and now it won't turn on.. I have power going to it I checked that by plugging it in and it showed the battery charging at 75%.. the Phone just will not turn on now.. Any suggestions?

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

This seems to be a tricky phone in the sense that everything has to be just right.. I believe you that you took your time and did a good job. The only thing I can think of right now is that the connections somewhere aren't together quite right. That's what I would check. I know it's a pain taking it apart again but that's what I'm thinking it is.

[@loranwit]

+Smart Easy Repair I took it apart 2 more times last night, making extra sure to check all connections were correct and tight.... still no luck.. :( Held power button down for 1 min and left battery out all night.. put back in this morning and no luck..Plugged it into the computer yesterday after the the first fail and it showed up as the Galaxy S5 i900.. Plugged into it today and it shows up as MTP.. Only getting worse.. Think it's time to get a new phone.. Darn, I love this phone too...

[@FFlores4444]

THANKS BRO!!!! This video was very descriptive and helpful!! Imma subscribe to your channel!!! Keep it up!!!

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

Thanks I appreciate that!! I'm glad it helped you. Good job on your repair!!

[@hatoproductions4860]

Excuse me.After the process, can it stay waterproof ?Thanks !

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

If you reapply the waterproof adhesive correctly then it should.

[@ronzy.]

Would the fingerprint scanner still work if I were to do this?

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

As far as I know it should yes.

[@julioflores5933]

Do I have to put new adhesive ?

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

Depends what condition yours is in.. I would recommend it. Especially if you want it to stay waterproof.

[@julioflores5933]

OK👍

[@johnnyappleseed2548]

Is it necessary to find another walkthrough for my Galaxy S5 Active?

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

+Johnny Appleseed I've never done one so I don't know how similar they are.

[@gracebruenderman]

That was very helpful. Thanks for the video.

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

Thanks I'm glad.

[@fay1hunnid]

Is there anyway this phone could be louder the audio jack (not the headphone one) is way to quiet

[@vipulchaudhari3063]

is this same process in Lenovo k3 note??

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

+Vipul Chaudhary I haven't worked on one of those so I can't say sorry.

[@NBMotocross3]

How much different is it for a Galaxy S5 Active?

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

I'm not actually sure about a active. I haven't taken one apart yet sorry..

[@trevorhorvath2112]

How long does it take

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

I'm note sure exactly. 45 min for a guess if you take your time and go careful.

[@Mrkevi123]

if this is your first time fixing a phone then expect 4 hours + 50% chance you'll break something attempting this.

[@manug6373]

So since my headphone jack doesn't detect anything its because I need to replace it? Or is there a way I can just clean out the headphone jack without having to take off the screen and all that?

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

You can try cleaning it with something see if it helps. Otherwise you prob need to change it out. :(

[@danepoore5561]

Can the headphone jack component be unscrewed to get right into the core ? my stupid headphones decided to snap while running, half is stuck in there, now my speakers don't work because its still registering them as being in there.

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

Only if you can get in there with something small to get it out. Otherwise I think you might have to replace it.

[@danepoore5561]

+Smart Easy Repair OK man thank you for the reply, great video ! hopefully as of next week I would have fixed my phone, will save me some money lol !

[@xxBrAnDoNmxx]

Why do u need to take the screen off if youre working on the back?

[@rickdrollinger2472]

amazing. the jack is so easy to damage with a headphone jack WHY should it be damaged and if they have this weak link, make the replacement easier.

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

Yeah I know this is honestly the worst phone I've ever changed one in. Thanks a lot Samsung!

[@mrtbeanco4252]

sir is this working sm g900f ?

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

+mrt beanco yes it is.

[@mrtbeanco4252]

+mrt beanco 👍👊

[@murphmurph2124]

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

+murph murph great

[@phil4087]

Please help I just can't get one of the screws out, it seems to be pretty much stuck. any tips?

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

Do you have a flat screwdriver you can try it with? Sometimes if the Phillips is stripped out you can use a flat if it fits tight in the corners.

[@phil4087]

Oh dear that was a trip... i found out my screwdriver was a tiny bit too big so I had to get a new one (borrowed one). Was thinking it was the right one since only one screw was actually hard to get out but with the new one it worked out perfectly :D thanks alot For anyone thinking aout doing this with absolutely no knowledge like me: it's hard but doable, just be REALLY careful. Took me about 50 minutes counting the time I wasted when my hairdryer just randomly broke >.< great video, saved me alot of money (payed 5 bucks instead of 90 what the local phone store told me)and I don't have to live without my phone for longer than an hour ;)

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

Hey thanks for the tips! I’m glad you persisted and took your time and got the screw out ok. Good job!! 👍👊

[@delete866]

I screwed mine up Is there anything special to know about that glasspart cause i'm scared of more damage sry for my english uhm my phone thinks the mp3 is still plugged and i can't hear the video..

[@zabiullahmughal5649]

Does this remain waterproof? ?

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

If it’s re-sealed correctly it should be pretty ok probably not quite as perfect as from the factory though.

[@zabiullahmughal5649]

Ok thank you very much 👍👍

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

You’re welcome.

[@MrRave-pv1od]

Is it risky on this replacement? What's the losses?

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

+Mr. Ráve It is risky just because of having to take the screen off to access it. It's the worst design Samsung ever made to work on in my opinion. If your not careful you can damage the screen. That's the downside.

[@MrRave-pv1od]

Oh. Expert can also have a risk of doing this replace or not?

[@MrRave-pv1od]

+Mr. Ráve yea worse design ever.. I was socked at first when I heard of that teardown of screen to replace it.. but my s5 becomes still water proof after replacing the jack?

[@robertmathews6915]

I cracked my screen doing this. the key is getting it completely under the led screen which was not easy with my phone since the led was very brittle. The rest was a breeze but I ended up changing out the headphone jack and paying for the screen replacement.

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

Sorry man yeah it can be tricky. Glad you got it working. Take care.

[@robertmathews6915]

+Smart Easy Repair The only cell repair place close to me only fixed screens and the places that could fix it required you to send it in and be without my phone. In a strange way fixing the headphone jack and getting the screen replacement worked out.

[@stephinator4848]

My screen is cracked. would I still be able to replace my audio jack without replacing my screen first?

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

+Stephinator484 If you can get the screen off ok.

[@Boujlaba]

Guitar picks 🎸🎸🎸

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

😁

[@marclol6357]

how much will it cost to replace the audio jack?

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

+Marc Bellec The actual part isn't very expensive I have a link in the video description where you can find it.

[@marclol6357]

+Smart Easy Repair do you live in Alberta Canada

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

+Marc Bellec No I don't.

[@ismaila2897]

when it seems your headphone port is pushing your earplugs out, try to push your earbuds harder.

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

That just may do it. If not the brick wall always works.

[@paparylee7291]

My jack won't detect headphones when they're in, but they detected my friend's headphones. Should I just buy new headphones?

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

Yeah I would try that first!

[@chocolateCHU]

if only the right side of my headphone is not working, does replacing the headphone jack solve this problem? i tried with all kinds of headphones and it seems that only the right side isn't working. the left side works perfectly.

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

Yeah if you tried different headphones so you know it's not that then it's probably the Jack.

[@Jellyrollstrawberry]

Hi, I have the exact same problem as you. Did you try this yet? Did it work?

[@douiteuk6861]

my phone have this problem too, my phone is "innjoo halo 1" can u help me plz!

[@ZaXiiE]

can I buy a new headphone jack and replace it that way because mine is completely destroyed...

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

+zaxiie Yes I have a link in the video description where you can find a new part. And then this is how you change it.

[@ZaXiiE]

+Smart Easy Repair oh awesome thanks. My phone has been broken for almost a year Now and I haven't found one video like this till today thanks so much you have gained a sub haha

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

Thanks I appreciate that. Just take your time be really careful this is one of the most difficult phone Samsung ever made to work on.

[@ZaXiiE]

+Smart Easy Repair yeah okay thanks so much and do I have to replace the adhesive if I dont really care about it being waterproof?

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

+zaxiie You may have to on the screen edges to keep it together. But if you take it apart carefully hopefully you can reuse that. Otherwise you don't have to replace the waterproof adhesive if you're not concerned about it being waterproof.

[@jairzuniga4948]

i put aluminum foil around my headphones jack and it works lmao, no need to change it lol

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

+Jair Zuñiga Nice!

[@jazaabdullah8846]

Let me try it out!

[@RAZERDsXe]

Fr? Nigga tf this better work

[@michaelparker2449]

I was going to replace it but with the S5 just being my spare phone it's not worth the hassle of having to remove the screen.

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

Yeah they made this phone a pain to work on.

[@safoyanislam3219]

how much price for 1 jack????

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

I have a link in the description where you can find it if you wanna check it out. The price varies some. Thanks.

[@BonaireFlip]

My problem isn't that my jack ain't working, But that even when there is no headphone or nothing in the headphone jack the phone keeps saying " Earphones connected". its very annoying and worries me a little... hope you get help me out, thanks

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

Sorry I don't know what's going on with that. Did u drop it or get it very wet?

[@BonaireFlip]

Well i kinda wanted to test it out how water resistant the phone is, so i held it underwater at about 1foot for some minutes while cave diving to film my self, not the smartest thing to do !, But after leaving a cut off head phone jack in there for a day it fixed it self by it self, no more diving for my phone !

[@cmmtv4]

My phone did the same thing, i got water in the jack and i used a can duster to blow the water out and then everything went back to normal

[@anthonycosme4032]

+cmmtv4 how long did it take was it instant?

[@ruufiss9922]

what if i dont have enough guitar picks?

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

+RuuFiss Tou can use something else that's thin.

[@seanthepowerdavies]

My phone thinks my earpones are plugged in but there not, any easier way than doing this? Ive got all the tools but hands like a caveman!

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

No easier way that I've found.. It stinks they had to make it this hard.

[@JDUB-ei2or]

took my s5 into samsung shop and they said it will cost $150.00 AU are they trying to rip me off?

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

+J. DUB That does sound very high to me. I would say 50 at the most.

[@JDUB-ei2or]

fixed it myself lastnight!! pulled it out with my gf's tweezers lol. there was a little tiny bit sticking out on top of the broken aux plug where i could just cling on to with thin tweezers. happy now nightmare is over😊

[@email8162]

Ended up breaking my screen prying it off.

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

Sorry man yeah you gotta be super careful and take it slow..

[@traffngk]

The s 3 jack was soooooo much easier to change ..

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

Yeah this one is ridiculous!!

[@joblessalex]

man I miss my s2

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

+joblessalex Yeah it's much easier to work on!

[@username9318]

Before you replace the audio jack, try the following: 1. Take a wire, insert it into the audio jack, the phone upside down, and spin it 2. Hit the phone slightly upside down on a wooden table 3. Be astonished how much dust and dirt comes out 4. Repeat Step 1 and 2 several times 5. Take a Q-Tip, pull and spin the cotton to bring it into a longer and thinner shape 6. Dip the Q-Tip into ethyl alcohol (disinfectant spray is also working), insert it into the audio jack and spin it 7. Repeat Step 5 and 6 several times 8. Be happy that your audio jack is working like a new one without replacing it :))

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

Definitely worth a try thanks for sharing.

[@yankcm0133]

Wow I am irritated and feel scammed. I have owned nothing but 3 S3s and now my S5. I had 3 S3s all due to bad audio ports... Once on my 3rd S3 I found out how easy it was to replace the headphone jack, so I just fixed it myself. I appreciate the video, but I honestly don't trust myself for that repair. I feel like Samsung is putting really crappy audio ports in these phones... what are the chances I would continue to have issues? By the way, once I replaced my own audio port (instead of getting a new phone), I never had an issue with it afterwards. All I do is listen to music on my way to work... not like I'm sitting here putting hairs and debris in it. -_-

[@SmartEasyDIYer]

+Candace Yanko yeah i hear you. I don't know why they have issues. I made this video in hopes that it would help people to know what they were into when it came to changing it. It is a difficult repair compared to a lot of phones.

[@drdvs69]

The simplest , quickest fix of all ... Bluetooth
