Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Screen Replacement and Charging Port Fix Repair

[@adronh]

Just successfully swapped out a charging port on a note 4 with the help of your video. Thank you!!!

[@TimHaunFishing]

I'm no novice for phone repair. I've worked on every generation of Iphone, S3-S6, and the Note 2 and 3 along with a handful of HTC and Motorola phones. I was a little intimidated by the daughterboard replacement because I didn't want to risk getting a new screen when I still have the factory screen in my Note4. Thanks to your tutorial I'm more confident in this repair. Thank you very much!

[@NJtrainer]

Jerry, 1st off thanks for doing this video..it is much more concise than others I watched, you speak clearly and describe things well, with confidence. Unlike that guy (android blah blah),, not sure what I am doing, etc. scary.. Ok, so here is my question for you, or any viewers(or phone repair professionals): I dropped my Samsung Note 4, face down with no cover or protection, other than a thin flimsy screen protector (cheap one) the screen had a hairline crack, very thin and about 3 inches long ..all the buttons still worked , and the phone rings, but I had no display.. I ordered a lcd/digitizer/glass from a phone repair store,, and it was guess what CRACKED, either they sent me junk, or it was damaged during shipping.. in any case, that one has a smaller crack than mine, and the phone was already apart.. I connected it, and I have the same issue,, touch screen SEEMS to work, but has no backlight.. so I ask is backlight a separate issue? or is there is even slight damage, do they not light up? thanks in advance..

[@JerryRigEverything]

NJtrainer With Samsung screens the back light is built into the LED. So if the LED ever cracks, there is a good chance that the backlight will go out with it. It sounds like you should send back the one you bought, and tell them how it arrived. If you need new replacement parts, check in the video description for my suppliers.

[@geraldfer]

I needed this....Home button on my Note 4 went out as well as charging port...I feel more confident that I can do the repairs myself now after seeing this tutorial vid...Thanks JerryRigEverything for this vid...take care

[@jaymaster103]

Man you have come a long way!!!!

[@omarpinn]

All l of your videos are so clear and good quality. Thanks mate

[@JerryRigEverything]

GV PINN Thanks man! Glad I could help.

[@IamCrass]

This is a gem. Thank you attempting to just replace the lcd.

[@darkracing5848]

Great video.... However I noticed how you edited and shorten the video @ 6:19 where you connected the touch & LCD connections to the back of the main board. I'm stuck there. What's the best way to get them connected?

[@ObtuseAcute1]

Did you ever get it connected back together?

[@kasurystech1978]

This is soooo coolll to watch, because i bought a Note 4 this week, and i´m trying to restore it, i wonder though, will i´t scratch at level 6, with deeper grooves at level 7? 🤔 Thks, and greetings from Argentina! Big Fan of your chanel!😁

[@mikldude9376]

great video , i have nothing the matter mine(touch wood ) , but great to see how its done/ all fits together if the that time comes.

[@kevinhicks9447]

Thank you very much. I followed this tutorial to replace an LCD, glass, and camera lens on a Note 4. It worked great.

[@SSS-rx5vp]

Nice video so I saw you when you worked on that zj and after watching a few phone guides I realized you are the same person lol. Great work all around so I have to ask any more zj, Jeep, or building videos?

[@Schnitzer325ci]

Thanks for the clip. It was very informative, however I was hoping you'd cover the EMMC part or at least show where this is located. Please can you advise?

[@jitters665]

Thanks! My son baptized his Note 4, and I just needed to get the case off to let it dry. Thanks to your tip about using the heat gun, I did so without tearing the foam adhesive strip.

[@PracticalTechnologist]

Thank you for this excellent video. Is the top microphone replaceable?

[@BartWestVL]

Had to replace the screen and while getting the broken one off, I managed to rip the 'back-button' (right hand button) so had to replace the USB-port too. Thanks to you, it all works now! ☺ (y)

[@JerryRigEverything]

BartWestVL Glad you got it all fixed! Its fragile in there.

[@VannMizan]

hi, how hard is it to remove the screen from the frame? the one that starts from 03:42 thanks!

[@Uce_wess]

Thank you so much. Breaks down very well and easy to find materials.

[@AtixxD]

At 2:10, the ir blaster next to the front camera, is that replaceable or you have to get a new motherboard?

[@abuyco]

Is that little LED looking "bulb" that is on the front facing camera part, the IR Blaster? BTW, great video with narration. Thank you!

[@KickinChick06]

Thank you so much for this video. This is very informative. I dropped my phone in the toilet but I got it out quickly and tried to dry it as much as I can. The phone still works, but the speaker is obviously damaged. Which part would you recommend to replace the speaker? I tried to replace the midframe (with a new attached loudspeaker in it), but that did not help. Hope you can help. Thank you.

[@Balrog132]

Hey, I know this video is already old, but it brought me some great insight on how the Note4 is built. So thank you for that. I also like that Lego comparison ;) I have a serious question though. I have a Note4 in front of me which suffers from random reboots and sometimes losing data, e.g. reboots and wants to make a new setup. I have sent it in for repairs, but the shop told me they cannot get a hold of the spare parts needed. They tried to replace the motherboard. The question I want to ask is: Do you know a good place where I can get this? I am sure I can exchange the board myself, but I want a quality part of course. Perhaps you can help me with this endeavour. Thanks in advance for any response.

[@Alvin-ti3fw]

@4:28 this whole proshees? got your tongue bit? 😂 I was here on the 8th of July 2020.

[@the4realpsych]

Jerry, first of all, thank you very much for your video! I came upon it searching how to replace parts on my SM-N910C, and yours was completely in-depth, which is nice! I have a question, my friend: I lost my IMEI through some flashing of ROMs, and someone suggested that I replace the motherboard to get a new IMEI. Would replacing the motherboard work - and, if so, where can I find one? Is there anything else that I should replace?

[@e2622]

+Vince Lupe Your IMEI will be under your battery. Usually yes it's tied to your motherboard.

[@vincenzoangelicchio3392]

Thank you very much for this video, this is the best video tutorial on youtube without making damage. Very professional

[@JerryRigEverything]

Vincenzo Angelicchio Thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@vega3798s]

Very helpful video, Could you tell me how many water indicators are in the Note 4? I know of the one on the battery and under the battery on the phone itself. any others?

[@tbyers31]

Hello. a great video and I really appreciate how clear you make things. My Note 4 is cold dead and I don't think it's a charging port issue because a local shop tried a new battery and it won't boot up. Any suggestions of what to replace? Or should I just sell it for scraps. It's in beautiful cosmetic condition otherwise.

[@kitt28]

i feel very old now notice the year this is made and the fact that i have a note 4 in 2016, Nice video man, so much to do just to replace the charging port, as you was removing the the home button scanner, i was thinking could it be switch out for a note 5 home button/scanner?

[@PhillipFreeman1]

great video, thanks, do you have any idea where to get hold of a new back frame for the note 4, none of the sights seem to have it... Thanks for your help, massively! Merry Christmas

[@JerryRigEverything]

Phillip Freeman I just looked through a few different suppliers, and didnt find anything. Ill keep my eyes open! Merry Christmas!

[@PhillipFreeman1]

JerryRigEverything thanks dude

[@JasonLeonidas]

Do you have a link for purchasing just the back of the phone for a white Galaxy note 4? Also do you have a link for just the front glass? Just the outside glass not the entire display? Great video by the way thanks a lot.

[@JerryRigEverything]

Jason L You want just the back door that closes over the battery? Send me an email (Found on the 'about' page of my channel), and I'll send you a link to one, I plan on making a 'Glass Only' video for the note 4 in the next week or so, so sit tight for that. Ill send you a link to 'just the glass' in the email you send me.

[@abdulhamza172]

HI there. since last week my home button started to not respond. very weird the finger scanner works fine but the button just doesn't respond. it's like 2 hours it works and then it doesn't. what you think I should do? even when the home button doesn't work the finger scanner works fine. any ideas? and that was a very clear video. probably the best I've seen in a long long time

[@marekgajdosik4385]

Hi "Jerry", How do you look at the mother board replacement? any issues? e.g. with IMEI or something? How would you believe motherboards from ebay? I guess custom ROM after such replacement ins necessary, do i need some special tools or can it be done like normal ROM flash like on 1+*

[@coryleblanc8003]

is there a a replacement part for the small white rubber for the home button you can see at 3:28

[@PhD.Guruji]

Gud evening Mr. Rig Thanks for the video...

[@luiscom8458]

Keep up the good work 👍

[@UltimateGamR]

I'm planning on getting a note 4 soon and I have a quick question pal. If I ever dropped it and deeply scrapped the sides and bezel permanently could it be replaced because in this video it looks like it's part of the back. Cheers bud :)

[@MohondhaY]

After removing the Earpiece Speaker 02:46 , Can we replace the earpiece speaker grill without removing anything any further?

[@ItsCertified]

JerryRigEverything Im assuming that there is no glass only replacement for this? note 4, S6 or S6 edge?

[@owenkniep3648]

Why do you use that particular site for the charging cable? It's at least twice as much as other places. Are they just that reputable?

[@ChillWithYT]

do you recommend on spraying hydrophobic on each part individually or just on all of them while they are connected

[@SkillfullyBlind]

hello, i just wondered, is it nessesery to use dobblesided tape between the kopper foil and the plate? Im just wondering bacause it looks like it does not have a tecnical purpose, i just think it would be much easyer to go in and out of the phone if you just dropped the tape.

[@donnyyeo]

8 mins to cover so many parts. junk toturial video. find others with proper step by step of 1 part only. you will get better insights and hopefully get your phone fixed and not broken more.

[@BCBe4tS]

where is the link for the sim card reader and the sd card reader?

[@JeseSLU]

Where were the various liquid indicators located? Also, how many of them are there?

[@cheloled]

Hi, I have to change the charging port. I liked how you explain. How do you take off the part of the screen and do it with the debit card ... after changing the piece, and everything is assembled again ... when I place the screen, it must be pasted around the frame again ..? what does it stick with? Thank you . Regards

[@ZeroGHome24]

Thank you for the video, just fixed my mates screen.

[@JoshCota]

Just cracked my Note 4 Camera glass. Do you sell the replacement parts for this? Would love a video. Apparently a bunch of people are having this issue with the camera glass.

[@JerryRigEverything]

Josh Cota I have some suppliers that I get parts from regularly, but no one has it yet. I imagine they will have some in the next month or 2. It is a VERY easy repair. And cheap... less than 10 bucks. But we have to wait for the part to be released.

[@taupiknurohman6754]

Very amazing video sir

[@mathis481]

Ta vidéo super bien

[@JagMan903]

Thanks for the very helpful video. I noticed that the Galaxy S4, S5, Note 3, and Note 4 (perhaps others) have their own specific charging port model. Why is that? I've used a Sprint charging port on the Verizon S4, S5, and Note 4 motherboards, and it seems to work fine. What's different about these carrier specific charging port boards? Also, I've just done my first couple of Note 4's. After reassembling both units, it looks like the S-Pen is unresponsive (can't write on screen), but both phones detect when the S-Pen is removed and replaced from its slot. Can you tell me what I may be missing here? Also, what's the easiest way of putting the motherboard back into a new housing without having to separate the AMOLED screen from the middle frame? I believe the only reason this needs to be done is if you need to replace the charging port or if you want to make sure the 2 ribbon cables at the top is securely attached to the board. Is there an easier way to attach the 2 ribbon cables at the top? Thanks again for your tutorials!!! Very helpful indeed!

[@Garvyn100]

What's the name of the black handle tool that you are using?

[@JerryRigEverything]

Vibzy Charles The Tweezers or the hot air gun?

[@MrTRA504]

Thank you for the info😀

[@dakidobf]

First off, thanks for the detailed, yet straight to the point video. I used it to replace my home button but it still doesn't work. The finger print scanner works(as it did before the repair) but the home button press is unresponsive. Any ideas?

[@drakedorosh9332]

The center button has a little nib on its underside to click a foil covered button on the USB charging board beneath it.

[@adamthemagician2473]

At about :44, what are those little ribbon things that seemed to have snapped when you took those pieces apart?

[@dave310369]

After ordering through repair universe they started texting me and emailing me requesting a photo of my credit card with the first 3 groups of numbers blocked out. It sounded suspicious to me so now I am trying to cancel my order but I am having a hard time contacting someone on the phone. I recommend ordering your parts someplace else. Good video though. Also, there are black screws holding down the usb board and the Main circuit board that are not mentioned in the video

[@jamesjames528]

I was wondering if the charging port assembly is carrier specific? I notice on ebay that there are those pieces for sale but for Att sprint and verizon do you know if they HAVE TO BE carrier specific??? thanks in advance.

[@tutorialsa-z5359]

hi do you have a link for the motherboard please?

[@miguelmezano6384]

hello good afternoon as I did you do to remove the screen was with dryer hot air or cold air was?

[@themastershandsdean]

Great video. Thanks.

[@JerryRigEverything]

themastershandsdean No problem! Thanks for watching!

[@NELSONG12]

Do I need to add new adhesive when putting screen to frame back together? Thanx

[@jesussaves6671]

Man, I love this video! My note 4 just went black screen and does not display anything. I can answer calls with the home button, I can even unlock the pattern blindly. what do you think is the problem need help

[@supercococaleb]

Thanks for the video, I can't get the power button off past the adhesive part. When I get to the panel between the motor and the power button, it's stuck. Where should I put force?

[@emariecha7389]

Thank you. Do you no of a place I can send it to be fixed we don't have a place in the town I live in.

[@drakedorosh9332]

Don't forget to keep the camera window clean of fingerprints. I thought I was doing swell. Replaced the SIM card reader, the USB charging port and the home button. I tried to reboot it to test the components by just plugging in the screen before reassembly. Bummer no boot screen. Just a blue flashing light and the vibration buzzer chiming start. So my guess is that I was too rough on the mother board when I attached the charging port wire harness. I heard a click while I was trying to attach the harness. I did not heed your advise to remove the board first. I ended up doing it the way you said but I think that is why it won't boot.

[@TheSnakey186]

My Note 4 is not charging, beacuse I poured a little bit Redbull in the Micro-USB Port. Now it takes me an hour to find the loading spot. Do you think I need to replace the Charging-Port or do something else. Nice Video!

[@skorpyo112]

Does the home button ribbon cord serve any purpose? is it for fingerprint stuff? question being, my cable ripped. if All i need is the home key just to press, does it really need the cable. thats all

[@terraformingthesubconsciou7131]

I ‘successfully’ replaced my screen however the new screen doesn’t work. The first time I restarted the phone, I cut it on without the s pen foil installed because I didn’t see it under the old screen. Does s pen foil provides like electrical grounding? Phone works fine connected to tv. Should I buy a new screen or could it be a motherboard problem even though everything except black display works perfect?

[@soulilous]

a silly reaction here but i have a question cant you use the homebutton of the note 5 or the s6 on this phone because the fingerprint scanner is better in those phones

[@smartaddiction2260]

Question: For the previous models such as the Note 3. The frame for the verizon and sprint models are identical, as well as t-mobile and at&t models. With the note 4, people are saying that the sprint frame version does not fit on the verizon one, basically making the CDMA versions non interchangeable. Is this true? Or can we still use the Sprint Version on the Verizon phone? Thank you 

[@xovucom]

I'm replacing a charging port because the recent apps button has a damaged flex cable. The entire screen assembly is good but my concern is removing it from the midframe without tearing the stylus flex ribbon cable (the big copper foil adhered to the midframe). Can you link to where I can purchase the stylus flex ribbon cable and even better, show how to replace the usb charging port and two flex buttons without damaging the existing stylus flex cable? Or is it just inevitable that the stylus flex ribbon cable will be damaged during this process?

[@cbecerra101]

hey a small part of the copper foil ripped off, it didnt loom like it was too important though, will it be a problem ?

[@luiscom8458]

Thanks man!

[@marvienicole]

Hey, if u replace the usb charging port is that replacing the microphone as well?

[@JerryRigEverything]

Marva Mason Yes, the mic is down there along the bottom as well. Look in the video description for parts!

[@Swirling91]

Great video and much better than that one that someone else made that was 44 min long! I cracked my back camera glass and I finally got the replacement (it was back ordered) - even though it was just the glass that broke I bought the entire camera, just in case. It was $33 in total with shipping. Question - I do not have a hot gun, would a hair dryer suffice? For those who want to know where I got the camera it was from parts4repair.com

[@AriannaRavenell]

Did you have a hard time putting the phone back together? I got a replacement camera too but now my phone wont power on. I've watched the video a million times and reassembled the mother board like 20 times!

Just successfully replaced my note 4 charging port. thanks. Home button is a bit wobbly when I put the phone back together but didnt break the screen which is the most important part and the phone now charges

[@rajdeepchelsea]

+JerryRigEverything I followed your steps but my screen is not turning on. Could you tell me if the torn copper film is responsible for it or that is for s-pen? Phone is getting charged and the capacitive buttons are also lighting up and it is giving a vibration when I swipe the home button(for fingerprint sensor) but the screen is not lighting up. Please let me know at the earliest. Thank you.

[@thechaindude1320]

Inspect your display panel for any hairline cracks (not the screen, the LCD under it). If it has so much as a microscopic crack, it will malfunction, or fail altogether. If there are no cracks, check that the ribbon cables are sufficiently connected to the motherboard.

Some deep research might get you the answer. I'm kinda curious also. Maybe somebody has tried this before.

[@NagChimpa]

Jerry I need some serious help! i just replaced my charging port but my mic doesn't work now. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

[@JesseLockeHere2Do]

Can you advise me on what to do based on the following circumstance? My Note 4 started intermittently failing to turn off or on when pressing the power button. Finally it failed permanently after a battery change and of course it's in the off position. I replaced the power/volume/vibrate component but that didn't solve the problem. What do you recommend that I do/replace?

[@JerryRigEverything]

+Jesse Locke Have you tried a new battery? Maybe a charging port? its hard to say for sure.

[@JesseLockeHere2Do]

JerryRigEverything I have three batteries, the Samsung original and two after market batteries. I've tried to turn it on with two of them but not the third. I'll try that next. The charging port DOES allow the phone to charge, I think. However now that you mention it something has changed about charging the battery while it's in the phone. The large battery symbol that should appear on the screen while it's charging does not do so any longer. A green light does appear in the upper lefthand corner of the phone though, after the battery has reached 100% charge. At least I'm assuming that's what the green light means. I'll charge the battery inside the phone and then take it out and plug it into the base charger and see if it reads 100% charged. Is it likely that the mainboard is bad? Is that fairly common? Have you ever heard of that happening? Thanks so much for taking the time to respond.

[@JerryRigEverything]

It could be that something with the charging port is messing up. That would explain the lack of 'battery charging' indication. Its really hard to say though. Charging port would be my first guess... but if the phone is semi functioning right now, I wouldnt risk opening it up until stops working completely and you have no other option. (Just keep all your stuff backed up.)

Peter Paget Its either a shield from the motherboard, or part of a grounding system, to decrease interference.

[@hdondrel]

so if you use the hot air gun to melt the rubber or glue around the frame of the screen. would you need to get more glue or something to make it stick back. the rubber or glue thats around the frame thats whats holds it in place right????
