Samsung Galaxy A52 Disassembly Teardown Repair Video Review

[@GAMIR_SFM]

This is the best phone Samsung has released this year. Ip rated, headphone jack, Charger in the box, MicroSD slot, Big battery, OIS on camera, 90hz screen... low price.

[@PBKreviews]

Yea its feature packed.

[@ErniLandia]

i bought it and it works very fine. A nice phone.

Not 90 hertz 120 hertz aswell for the 5g version

[@jzero1579]

Thank you brother, my phone fell and the screen wouldn't work at all. Repair shop was telling me it would be 135 for some part but I got curious to see what it would look like inside. Turns out the cable was loose on the screen port you mentioned at 1:25. Just pressed that in, restarted my phone and bingo, running like new.

Does it still makes it water resistant after applying the adhesive???

[@PBKreviews]

If you apply the original pre cut adhesive (they usually come pre installed on replacement back plates or battery doors or are sold separately when available), then you should retain the water resistance.

[@timofthomas]

When prying the battery off, be very, very careful the side near the power ribbon behind the power button is extremely thin - had a narrow escape with a puncture there this evening with a thermal runaway. (by the way, it stinks the house out so when you have thrown the mid chassis, old screen and battery in a bucket of sand or deep bucket of water, open ALL the windows.....and wash your hands with a mild vinegar then soap and water which will neutralise any alkalis that may get on your fingers as you get rid of the battery....)

Hi thre my friend i accedently poked the top microphone in my samsung a52 i test the microphone and its still good how about the water protection on the microphone dois it got damage and where is located the water protection is in the insideof the hole of the end? Does the pin injector gonna reach it?

Hi, you should be fine, usually the filter is at an angle and would not be affected.

[@dinopw6342]

I recently dropped my a52 and there's a small hairline crack on the reflective plastic frame and i want to know if the reflective plastic frame is the part that keeps the phone waterproof or if its just a outer frame that's just used to take impact when dropped( or to look good) and the aluminium midframe is the actually water proofing ?

[@haroonjaved5138]

Hi there, i want to ask i just buy samsung A52 but by mistakenly i poked my top microphone hole with a sim ejector tool it hits something inside i think i punchared something what u think the damage is, and is there anything to test or verify, 2ndly what is the use of top microphone, thank u in advance

[@PBKreviews]

Hi you should be fine. the mic sits above or bellow the hole.

[@Odd_Taxi_epi04]

The top microphone is used for filtering out the outside noise from your voice in the call.

[@ThreeGDev]

I like that descriptive aproach of your videos! Btw, few days ago I dropped my A52s, but this time it turned off and I thought it's gone for good. But then I got idea that the impact could cause one of the connectors to disconnect, and after opening the phone it appeared to be true! So yeah, phone's still rocking 💪

Nice, glad you were able to get it going again.

hi, i wanted to ask so i poked the audio hole with the sim ejector because i didn't focus when i wanted to insert the sim card. does it have a problem resulting in broken speakers and also leaks when put into the water again?

Hi there, awesome informational video! I got a quick question to ask. I just got a brand new samsung a52s 5g and when i was taking off the plastic seals from the cover screen and the sides,the plastic volume button came out half way the top side, unattached from slot together with that fabric plastic. I brought it to official samsung service repair and the guy said for this model of phone you can just fix/attach the button from the outside and the phone doesnt need to be opened. Is that true? And if its opened will it still be IP waterproof? Have a nice day!

[@PBKreviews]

Thanks. Usually the buttons are inserted from internally but it varies from model to model. I'm not 100% sure on this model. However there is a rubber gasket internally which would probably stay intact even if the physical button itself popped out and you pushed it back in. So I wouldn't worry too much about the IP rating.

[@robertocurrlos7470]

0:27 This phone is crazy good...a once in a while phone that comes out...but that plastic back is prob the worst part of it...almost like rubber...great vid...

[@emma-louisekennedy3820]

Is there a way to manually get the sim card out

[@PBKreviews]

would be difficult. You would need to disassemble the phone and since the sim tray is not removed, the motherboard would be able to be removed either. You would need to carefully pull up the motherboard and slide the sim tray out while trying to lift the board to be able to release it. If the sim card is in the sim reader without the sim tray, then after you disassemble and remove the main board you can use a small pin or needle to try n work it out from the openings on the sim reader. But careful either way not to damage the sim reader pins or the sim reader wont read your sims anymore.

As that is all i am after and I cant sem to find a video how to remove the metal frame....Thanks in advance for the advice and help, Josh.

[@PBKreviews]

I'm not sure exactly which parts you are referring to, but if you replace the screen, no you would not lose you data. Your data is stored on a chip on the main motherboard of the phone. So if you bought a completely new screen assembly for example and moved over your main board and other parts to the new frame with screen, you would still have all your data.

Thank you! I have a question: where is internal storage chip located?

Hello Great video and very usefull. I have problem my sim card cannot detected. Do you have some idea? Is there any loose cable should I check? Thank you in advance

It won't be cable related, but probably bent or broken sim reader pin. If the pins are broken, it would require a specialty shop which can do soldering to replace the sim reader from the main board.

Question if my phone (A52) needs a battery replacement or anything that would need to open it up, will it still have the IP rating?

It's possible during assembly one of the catches didn't click in or one of the screws did not get fastened all the way (very unlikely but possible especially if its a refurb etc.). Wouldn't be able to tell until you actually took it apart, but don't think its worth messing with if its not bothering you too much. Also for the heating up, it should be normal.

[@PBKreviews]

If the phone gets water inside, its best not to use it and take it apart to dry out the water and brush off any corrosion inside with a small brush or else the phone will short as it did in your case. When it shorts, parts get damaged which would need to be replaced like the screen, motherboard or other parts. If you replaced the screen and it still doesn't work, it could be a bad board which would not be worth replacing, usually not easy to find a replacement nor is the cost worth it.

You can remove the old adhesive by peeling it off and using isopropyl alcohol to clean off any sticky residue left over before applying new adhesive. here are the links for the adhesive or the back cover with adhesive. www.ebay.com/itm/404357646411?hash=item5e2598084b:g:gpoAAOSwIGxkmZRT&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4H2JlMomAcvO4qDyoYMtTJC%2BTwHphYsQLlBY4EXiRWBP7rSoJRbwic4jqnRSYKFNE4X1Ta%2FSIfs2FhScPXuAmxmDUVZ2SIxP6BDgUUd%2BtVSfBOEqJOxP5sKpBJJr%2FjApsAiTZJTjKtOE86Xo3jpV4iMlBh4xeTKvJ9uA6dNFQWNutDlZJBNh3oStxHOtE49lWAfq63IetR6nzLIb2Ix3De94%2Bn5zoThSKv1B4pb1QPnFf7ImWK6XAbu0U6XSelWS7o8Fc33KWkspfYUZ6r7UC7m5fNjoJFNSo%2FMhaUORbIY0%7Ctkp%3ABFBMmMnViMFi or amzn.to/3YFvPky

[@alauddinripuchatterjee3044]

Sir plz let me know about a thing about it. I also bought this SG A52 ip67 water proof. But i am confuse that can i use it on rain or swimming Poll. And BTW This device is assembled in India. And i am from Bangladesh. Plz let me know clear my confusion bcz when i pull out sim card tray and giving air pressure with my mouth on the sim card tray hole my devices back part surfacing and pushing air outside. Is it a problem?

[@PBKreviews]

ip67 rating means it can go into water as deep as 1 meter for 30 minutes. Keep in mind its water resistant and not water proof meaning its made for accidental situations and not to be used as a underwater photography device for example. So I personally would not every day take the phone with me into the pool just for fun because over time you will lose resistance with the adhesive seal going bad or other issues. Also any damage to the phone such as a crack from a drop or a bend in the phone would probably allow water to get in.

@@davinewinarta1450 ya you mean if you can just replace the screen and not a screen frame combo? Ya the screen is adhered to the frame you can heat it up and pry it off. But if you mean if you can take just the screen off and not disassemble the phone, then no since you would still need to disconnect the screen cable from the board.

2 years owning this phone, the back cover starts to peel of from the other side of the camera. the adhesive is just weak on this phone. i would be looking elsewhere since the A54 despite having a glass back cover has the same thin adhesive applied at the back.

Hey brother when i apply slight pressure on the area of that grey film my screen turns off automatically when i release the pressure it comes back to normal and my back panel's glue weakened the back panel so i just adjust it with cover but when i do my screen just get black and afer removing panel and cover it turns on i went to Samsung service centre but they said it would need a whole motherboard change pls help brother i explained everything Samsung A52 -

[@hardVatsuki]

I have quite a weird problem with my A52 that lasts almost a year now: It was totally random, phone just stopped charging one day, I thought something died inside of the phone. I handed it over to local tech service. They said something is wrong with plume and it disconnects (I think?), so I need to put a pressure on antenna, under it is where plume connects to the motherboard. It works and its charging normally no problem, but then cycle repeats, it stops charging and I am putting pressure on antenna to make it chargeable again. I do wonder - what exactly is goes wrong though, maybe plume is that weak. I would like to check it, but I do not want to disassemble the phone, I have tendency to break my tech (thanks to my curiosity), so I might check it when I'll buy new phone and I won't need my A52 anymore.

[@PBKreviews]

Hmm not sure what it could be, might be a bad connector or solder points. Might also just be a bad sub board which you can replace with another sub board.

que tal bro, sabras donde conseguir la placa base para un samsung a72, se me daño el flash, me dijeron que era la placa pero aca no tienen, saludos desde Panamá..✌

[@PBKreviews]

Greetings. Usually to find a motherboard you need to find a phone that is being sold for parts or repair. Like a phone with a broken screen that has a good board you can use. They don't usually sell the motherboards unless someone parted out their phone. You would need to check ebay or other sites like that.

Hello my frnd. Thanks for the vdeo..i am so worried because I accidentally poked the microphone hole on top with the sim injector .. is there any problem of microphone on top?

[@PBKreviews]

I haven't messed around with the device too long to be able to tell, and I don't have it with me anymore but I would assume so.

[@purpledoge4466]

I wonder if the Under FingerPrint sensor on the A52 will be lock if you replace it.Same if you replace it on the A51,it will stop working.

[@crysis63]

that must be a security feature.

[@PBKreviews]

Really? I would think it should be replaceable and work. I could be wrong.

[@djmac801]

after display replacement can we use our phone same as water resistant

[@PBKreviews]

You would need to apply new original pre cut adhesive that is made for the phone to retain the water resistance. Usually most replacement battery doors or back plates will come with the adhesive pre installed.

[@dahyunnie6606]

what other things can i use to open the back of it?

[@PBKreviews]

you can use a suction cup tool to help you get leverage between the back plate and frame to get a pry tool in between after you have heated it up.

Hi, i have a problem with my samsung galaxy a52. It can detect a wifi if the wifi modem or network is so near to my cellphone, like 5inch away its good but once its far away, it cannnot detect anymore. What would be the problem? Or can you help me about it.

Dude, my A52 shows moisture detection all the time and I can't get rid of it. It dissapears on it's own If I'm not using phone in landscape mode covering charging port with my hand, because only that triggers this alert. What do you think what is the problem?

[@PBKreviews]

Not too sure. No liquid has gotten inside the phone? Have you also tried backing up all your data and doing a factory reset to make sure any bugs or kinks in the software are ruled out?

I would like to ask a question and I hope to have a reply asap... From 5 years I got a Samsung a7 and its charging port was broken... So I took it to a professional tech he changed it and after a week the dead pixels started to appear until all the pixels are dead... What did that happen and what to do to avoid such a thing.. Note he told us that there's a 30% choice it won't work...

[@PBKreviews]

Was it a Tablet or a Galaxy A7 phone? If it required the screen to be removed on a tablet then there is your problem there since prying a screen off a device poses a risk of the screen cracking or getting damaged.

[@shadowkc-1883]

I don't think you can buy just the side frame, you'd have to buy the entire mid frame which includes the aluminum frame and the plastic side frame

[@PBKreviews]

Like the previous commentor mentioned, you would need the entire midframe which has the side boarders to replace. It's not like the A51 where the sides are part of the back housing which can be taken off.

Might be different region versions have different processor or if its a52 5g compared to a52. Might also be the software reading it incorrectly.
