Samsung Galaxy A51 Battery Replacement

[@Keukeu45]

Thanks bro, pretty straightforward with your help. I'm kind of pissed at Samsung for that shameful battery life though 😡

[@soapmom426]

Ridiculous to make it this tedious to take a battery out of a phone! My other ones..you pop them open and just lift the battery out with your fingernail..This is absurd

[@DIYGeardo]

Removing Samsung batteries are not easy compares to Xiaomi , Oneplus , huawei

[@sandysterling9583]

Probably to sell more phones. I know someone right now who's going to replace their phone because the battery's no longer holding a charge. That's why I googled how to replace it.

[@kylestephens1421]

It's a scam to get you to replace your 2 year old phone.

[@soapmom426]

@@kylestephens1421 IT is a scam that will get you badly burned.These batteries were not meant to be taken out.They sent me the wrong instructions for my phone. When I took the battery half the way out it exploded and set fire.burned me and my kitchen.BEWARE! THEY STILL DENIED IT WAS THEIR FAULT!!

[@jcr65566]

Newer phone are worse

[@andysretrotech9555]

Many thanks for this video, very easy guide and swap over was relatively painless as a result (I have done a few phones previously though). Important to make sure you have all the tools to hand - small screwdriver most important, can use guitar picks/library card in place of plastic pry tool, and a hairdryer instead of heat gun. Back cover came off relatively easily after hairdryer use and managing to get in the opening with a thin enough guitar pick. Didn't quite appreciate how to get phone frame off but easy once I figured out what I was doing wrong. Battery had a LOT of adhesive on the back, was tricky to prise it out and it was already bulging (Yikes!). Probably worth replacing the battery every 3 years on these regardless as a proactive measure if you can (mine was 4 years old and was getting very hot/stopped charging at all). Used clear tape rather than glue to secure everything back together, in case new battery is rubbish/defective and I have to take it all apart again soon - phone in a fully enclosed case anyway so nothing going anywhere. Powered back up and everything back up and running faultlessly! Many thanks once again!!! 🙂

[@DIYGeardo]

Great and thanks for sharing your experience

[@_MaZTeR_]

Are the plectras from the iFixit kit enough to pry open the cover and the battery?

[@kettlenaut7988]

Thanks I'm definitely considering doing this, I love this phone as it's been a flagship experience without the flagship cost (and I'm so glad the screen is flat and not curved ugh) I don't know that the battery is quite to the point of needing replaced, but after 3 years I definitely noticed it drains much faster now. It still makes it through the day with heavy use, but I used to be able to almost 2 days until I needed to charge and now barely goes one day, so yah I guess the efficiently is down by almost half. So I will probably muster up the nerve to try this before giving in to getting an a54 or maybe checking out the a7x series to see if it's worth the bit of extra cost or not. Anyhow thanks for sharing, this allows me to me make an educated decision going forward, especially being I'm really not wanting to upgrade other than battery life at this point...

[@evanbrusilow8733]

Forgot to mention that u need to be careful when removing last cover. The volume buttons can pop out if ur not careful! Other than that, I appreciate the instructions. I made the replacement ... Lost & found the volume buttons & only lost 1 screw (i hv fat fingers!)😅

[@VintageGearMan]

Great Thanks. My battery is slowly dying. It is the original. It has to be about 3 and a half years old. That is pretty good for a phone battery.

[@DIYGeardo]

Yeah 👍

[@zenzekezenard4269]

I like my A51. But my battery is on the way out.--- Bought November 25, 2021 ---- So battery is dying after about 2.5 years. I will buy a battery replacement kit $20 and try this myself

[@VintageGearMan]

I got my new battery in and getting the back off the phone was tedious to say the least. It did require some careful heating and patience. Next after taking the sim card out first and getting then the screws out of the frame I used a piece of milk carton I cut out of a milk jug to release the frame from the phone. Go back and watch the video on how he did this. I had to go back in my phone twice. Apparently I did not have one of the ribbon cables fully pushed in. I did not apply any glue/adhesives to the back of my phone case lastly. I just re heated the existing tacky stuff the factory used and the back went back on nicely. GO SLOW on this project and do this when your rested and and not in a hurry. It took me almost 3 hours but I had to do this twice. My phone is like brand new again. Good luck folks.

Thanks this is crazy. I need a new battery, I have a Samsung store nearby but they told me I have to drop off my phone and have to wait 1 week to get it back! I was going to order one on Amazon, but I was wondering why they they were including tools to change the battery. 😞

[@abebejagemashambu5948]

very nice disassembled and assembly battery.

[@DIYGeardo]

Thanks

[@zl14l41]

Well played samsung. Due to the age of the phone and how difficult they made it to replace the battery I have decided to just get a new phone, from a different brand! 😂

[@miiaudacuscii7471]

Hahahha! Getting a phone from another brand - same as I thought! Man. Removing a battery in the smartphones, it seems, could be as easy as in the times of the minimalistic cellphones. The risk and difficulty of using heaters and glues, and the lack of a native, complete backup tool... they induce us to wait too much with a swelling battery, a smartphone with a "mouth". Now I understand how the services fix it. An official repairing service shop was asking me factory reset and a 7 days deadline.

[@Subgunman]

Who sells this adhesive? I have the thin perimeter sealing tape for iPhone, can this be used instead of the glue?

[@DIYGeardo]

For the battery or back cover

[@JustFun598]

Could placing the Main to Sub Flex cable wrong way damage the device?

[@EasyXploits]

Literally impossible to do that without severing the cable in two

@@EasyXploits You can do that easily the connectors are the same you just turn it the other way around, and it does not damage the device at all, tried it.

​@@JustFun598​ I must have visualized it incorrectly. Either way, you have to be really stupid to place it literally seeing that the text and arrow is upside down.

[@JustFun598]

@@EasyXploits Well I had a customer text me saying that he had placed it the other way around while fixing the phone himself and his phone wouldnt turn on, but it turns out he broke the battery connector, but I had tried turning it around myself intentionally just to see if it is actually possible to damage the board, it is not.

Woke up this morning to find the battery already removing the back for me. :/ At least this one's simpler to replace the batter than in some units that make disassembly a means of highly effective torture.

Don't apply heat to the battery as this can cause the baterry to explode. Apply heat to the screen that is directly below to the battery on the other side.

Yes kind of hard, but you can try with the frame.it is quite straight forward.

It's pretty straightforward once you get going and just take it a step at a time - only took me about 30mins start to finish and that was encountering issues here and there (some my misunderstanding). New battery was only £10 as opposed to at least £150 on a decent replacement, so worth spending 30mins and £10 for me.

Stop buying Samsung Phones for making such a tedious and customer unfriendly product. In a previous models it was very easy to replace battery but companies have made it complicated to earn from services.
