Samsung Galaxy A32 5G Disassembly Teardown Repair Video Review

[@nnbb2763]

Thank you PBK , very well done. How the battery was dessigned and housed on this Samsung model is a complete disater. I'm sure there are plenty of users who simply tried to take the battery out as they have always done on a cell phone, and quickly found that there Samsung was broken. Thanks Suamsung ;- (

[@kennethj2024]

I love all teardown you make...it give's me all the details that i need...please keep it that way...

thank you for actually making a good teardown video, exactly what i needed when i was looking for a good vid

You're welcome

[@timgebhart8735]

Thank you for your precise teardown instructions, the right to repair the products we pay for is getting taken from us a little slice everyday my hope is people wake up and see they can fight back and win when we all share our collective knowledge in how to repair items thanks again great video

[@stix562]

The one thing missing was all the screws that you had to remove and indication of where all 17 of them are. The hint on the Battery removal and the nice shot of the battery was great! One thing that might help in battery removal suction cup tool or to use those shower suction cups ..to give some more pull and gripping. Fantastico ..

[@docgammycat]

No fancy "plastic pry tool" needed. Did fine with a Van der Hagen razor blade from Walmart, easily retrievable from my bathroom cabinet, paired with a clean pop top from a Fancy Feast cat food can in the kitchen dish drainer. Nothing like using what's on hand when it's 4AM and you accidentally knocked the phone into a bowl of water in the bathroom sink, when you've just arrived home from the country and discovered a tick burrowed in your flesh and you're having a hard time pulling it out... I think that's Murphy's Law, isn't it? When it's been a long night and one thing goes wrong, a whole cascade of things will go wrong in quick succession 😂 ‼️ Thank you so much for this video!

[@PBKreviews]

you're welcome, and yeah anything that works to use can be used. Only reason plastic is preferred is to minimize damage to the frame/housing as well as possible shorting if it touched anything internally it shouldn't while the battery is connected.

[@irrelevantnations3247]

I'm not the only one who thinks all phones should, by default, have an easily expandable/replaceable/attachable internet antenna, right? Especially for people who have jobs which require them to travel to the middle of the jungle where there are dead spots everywhere. And since without internet, phones are no longer phones.

[@youtubeaccount8367]

Awesome, do you need to remove both top and bottom boards to replace the battery?

[@PBKreviews]

No just the top cover to disconnect the battery cable and the flex cable going over the battery from the main board and then you can replace the battery. You don't need to take either board out.

[@yeetedfar2721]

@@PBKreviews POG thank you!

[@FlintWestMetal21]

you can also get the screen with the frame included which makes the repair even easier, and the cost difference between getting it with or without the frame is like $3. then you dont have apply unnecessary heat to the frame of the phone.

[@PBKreviews]

Yup, I always prefer to use a screen with frame combo, but there are people who would rather save the money, especially on other phones where the difference in cost is larger.

Please reply.I was transferring my old screen to my new one because the screen on my old phone broke and I accidentally ripped the battery cable of my old .Can I just use the one and just replace the glass or do I have to use the cable that is attached to the back of the screen on my old phone

[@gregoryharrison4163]

An excellent, to the point video that tells you exactly what you need to know. Keep up the good work. Thanks!

[@MikGifs-lk9kw]

So what you recommend I do if just lightly touching the screen cable causes the screen to turn off causing the screen to because unusable

[@PBKreviews]

If you mean where the connector is on the motherboard, if you press around there and the screen stops working, then you have a bad connector probably. If you just move the screen cable and stopped working, you probably will need a replacement screen.

Hi all, i do have th is same phone the screen wasnt turning on. I did give the back a rub yes a rub like a massage a alakazam it turned on, now i drop it 2 days later and same problem?? could i need a new screen any way??? I have disassembled the phone, the connector from screen to primary board seems a little ify loose?? i did notice the white wire from sub board to main board was pinched from factory wasnt installed in the channel the blue wire goes into also?? please help....😂

[@PBKreviews]

I don't think the coaxial cables (those wires you were referring to) would have anything to do with it powering on. But the display cable being loose or having an issue can be what is causing it or a loose battery cable.

[@joseburgos5106]

Nice...well done. I should see if disconnecting and connecting the battery fix the problem. I think that an update messed it up.

[@PBKreviews]

[@kingturg1614]

Would this work to fix water damage I ended up dropping in a puddle big accident I got it out straight away and dried it off with my jacket it worked perfect for awhile but now it's not truning on the screen stays black but you can here it vibrate

[@PBKreviews]

You can try taking it apart and disconnecting the battery cable, then drying out any liquid or moisture inside and then brushing off any corrosion around the connectors or chips with a tooth brush and put it back together and see if it will work. If not, you would either need a new screen or its possible the the chips on the board went bad somewhere. Usually with water damage, you want to avoid using the phone until its been taken apart and completely dried out/cleaned of corrosion so the phone wont short.

[@valerierhoades9406]

What type of adhesive is best to put the back on again?

[@Eric-lf1bz]

You mentioned adding adhesive to put back together. What should we use and where to apply?

[@PBKreviews]

Here is the part you would need: www.ebay.com/itm/353645960196?hash=item5256f11c04:g:cOEAAOSwUjZhKP8Q and you would remove the old adhesive strip, and apply the new one to the frame of the phone. You can also watch this video for reference: kzbin.info/www/bejne/imXMmoOLfrJqY7s

[@ivangrigoriev3940]

Very informative, thank you. Pkease advise of A series or s20fe/s21fe (both Qualcomm).

[@PBKreviews]

You're welcome. Not sure what you mean, are you asking which I would prefer? The S20 FE would probably be it since there isn't too large of a difference between the S20 FE and the 21 FE to spend more on getting the 21 FE.

Do you Thing I would be hard to repair the fingerprint scaner?

No shouldn't be too difficult. It's held onto the back housing with a metal bracket, so once you take the back plate off and remove the screws and take off the back housing, you would have access to removing the fingerprint scanner and replacing it.

My a32 5g screen now having problem. Starting yesterday my a32 got hanged and no responce to touch, so i just try simply knocked on the screen with 1 finger(not too hard n not too gentle), then it worked back. But today cant even touch, no responce at all. Does it mean the whole screen need to be replace? But the screen doest break or crack, it still displayed like usually, just that no responce to touch at all. I force restart few time still the same, not responce to touch. What should i do? 😭

Its possible the cable may be loose or something is shorting inside (any corrosion from water damage etc.) or just the screen is going bad.

Its possible you may have damaged or broken one of the resistors or small chips by the screen cable. Try also brushing off the connectors with a small brush and see if it helps.

[@kevinxlgamer6520]

My Issue is the screen went black when I dropped it and I noticed my phone still functions normaly the vibration still works well like normal but I noticed that it also isnt charging. According to this video. Checklist + = Its Fine and X = Malfunction +Phone is Powered(Battery) +Vibration Works +Physical Buttons Works X Screen Is Black all dark X Charging Port isnt Working X No Data Sync X Fingerprint Sensor Not Working X Touchscreen Isnt Working WIth this video it has to do with the blue or white wiring and the Screen ribbon disconected from the top Motherboard from the bottom motherboard so the bottom motherboard and top motherboard arent getting any power from each other.

[@PBKreviews]

The flex cable for the screen which connects to the main board is also the same flex cable which connects the sub board (charger port board) to the main board. You would need to take it apart and make sure that the flex cable did not get disconnected from the main board as well as the sub board. If still doesn't work, its possible the screen is damaged and shorting causing it not to work.

great job explaining, kinda sad that the idiots of Samsung couldn't just make it so you can replace the battery but nooooo because they want to be able to track you everywhere you go and if you remove the battery they can't do that.
