[@RandyFuchs]

VERY nice video. I love the fact that you speak clearly, don't repeat the same thing 20 times, and have a nice, steady video.. Well done !

[@How2Tech]

+Randy Fuchs Thanks!

[@JerryRigEverything]

The changing port and lcd can also be removed from that plastic frame. I show how in my video if you're curious.

[@How2Tech]

+JerryRigEverything Hey we live in the same state! Apparently phone repair is a popular thing here!

[@JerryRigEverything]

+How2Tech Heck ya! Best state this side of the Pacific.

[@argentinadude24]

thanks man...good chanel the you have btw

[@REMIX8604]

I wish the back came off like the old iPhone 4. 2 screws and slide. still the same glass effect. samsung wasn't thinking on this one. but omg the phone feels so good in hand

[@optimusprime3484]

Couldn't you heat it up nice and hot and put a suction cup on the backside and the screen side and pull in opposite directions to at least get it separated a little? Also it would be awesome if someone designed a replacement back that utilized the some of the screws under the back cover to hold it in place. Thanks for the video, tips and way to be chill about cracking your brand new phone.

[@MisterWhatWhat]

After watching this, I will never take the back off my Note 5. I do not have patience and would definitely eff some shyte up. Good video, thumbs up.

[@servel2]

My goodness, remember the days when replacing ports was as easy as a few screws and disconnect a few cables. What have you done Samsung.

[@nomoredamnnamestouse]

Vote with your wallets. I will never spend a dime on their premium phones when they are making those even more fragile and less user servicable than iPhones out of all things, no microSD to differentiate themselves from iPhones, along with the questionable long-term user support.

[@faaaaq]

+nomoredamnnamestouse "voting with your wallet" to combat the issue he is complaining about means not buying any modern smartphone...

[@justinclark3984]

+nomoredamnnamestouse your reasons for not buying a high end phone are idiotic why buy a chrapy galaxy s4 or s5 that is almost outdated and nowhere as fast as this phone or any flagship samsung phone and as far as then being breakable or fragile this is false yes the back can shatter but ohwell slap a case on that bitch and if the screen cracks then you dropped it or threw it pretty far because I have had 2 flagship samsung phones and the bezels are all metal the most u would do dropping this phone on its side is chipping the bezel while the plastic on an s4 or s5 will crack.

[@fra6802]

isn't it the same here ? design seems very modular and quite accessible

[@EltyCMS]

Justin Clark no one could say that better

[@onetwo4147]

Thank you so much for doing this. I'm so glad someone took the back off and revealed underneath it to us. 😆 I'll subscribe.💪

[@mabirc2844]

Samsung really doesnt want to repair this, just buy a new one. I really respected Samsungs phones as an iPhone-user but now with a phone which costs almost 1000$ with a built-in battery and no removable SD-card which will last only a few years i dont see a reason for buying it. Same for iPhones but they are atleast repairable. Good disassembly though, you earned a new subscriber.

[@sherimac73-d2y]

Thank you for showing this. I dropped my phone on tile, it landed flat on its back. I thought surely I broke the screen but it was fine. What it did do was show a bunch of colors and then the screen went black. I feel something was jarred and came loose cause the little lights still come on at the top (blue and green). The vibration was also jarred cause the pen when removed doesn't vibrate now. What is your suggestion to do to fix?

[@Inboc85]

Awesome video man! Were you able to identify where the Samsung Pay MST payments hardware was?

[@smailmeslem655]

It's very cool from you to show us this Thank you very much

[@Takato-kun9695]

did u uh put it back together or u put it ina glass case

[@newblood62988]

How long have you been doing repairs? The "home button ribbon cable" is for the finger print sensor.

[@How2Tech]

+Jon Novak It sure is! Which is part of the home button.....

[@newblood62988]

But the home button works on its own without the ribbon cable. The ribbon cables sole purpose is for the finger print reader.

[@How2Tech]

+Jon Novak yep it does....Do you have a better video? It seems you know how to fix phones so I am wondering why your are here critiquing my video...Its not like I go to your channel and critique you on crappy sound or off key singing so you calling out the fact that I called the "home button fingerprint sensor ribbon cable" the home button cable is just semantics to me. Here is a link to the title of the part: www.ebay.com/itm/Silver-Home-Button-Fingerprint-Flex-Cable-For-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-5-N920-N920R4-/252124677226?hash=item3ab3cd446a:g:WQcAAOSwhcJWHhhO

[@edwinedwin645]

would you know if the on off button has a common issue ? The clicking sound as you press down has gone.. any ideas?

[@skytech1714]

hi I just wanted to ask can i send my galaxy note 5 to you so you can replace the back as it shattered cheers

[@kevinhess943]

Once a source for the backs comes available will you post a link? Mine fell out of my pocket before my case came in and already cracked the back.

[@How2Tech]

+Kevin Hess Will do.

[@servel2]

That's rough man, sad to hear that.

[@FamilyChannel89]

Was the white thing the unreliable battery on this model? Wish you would of talked about it, as in regards to replacement or just use etc.

[@How2Tech]

+patricia rowe Reaplcement: There are no batteries that I can find available for this phone yet but should be available soon. You can replace it it just takes some work. Daily use: This phone battery will last me almost all day, get to about 5% right before I head to be at night so that is sold performance for how much I use the phone. I just started a review channel (really not good at it yet so give me chance to get going) you can check out I will update the video with a full review in couple days: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3e7nKyhbtinm9k&feature=iv&src_vid=Bp0BfGBDcHc&annotation_id=annotation_3404063739

[@jeremykooi6215]

hair dryer works just fine, might take slightly longer, but works

[@PappyMason100]

this was fun to watch, learned a few things.

[@How2Tech]

+Esco Esco Glad you liked it!

[@buddysteve5543]

What type of loudspeaker is this device using? Do you know?

[@chatops3]

Glad i bought the note 4.

[@emmanuelstonee]

a que temperatura debe de quitarse la tapa? un saludo

[@tervareseblackmon7396]

I've dropped my Note 5 quite a bit. There are 2 cracks on the front screen and the glass over the back camera is also broken. I dropped it the final time and it black screened but had a little white stripe flashing every now and then. The blue notification light is on also. I really need the pictures on the phone but not only were they not backed up but i had them locked with an app. So if i take the logic boards out of a broken Note 5 and put it into a new one will it work?

[@How2Tech]

Yes but make sure you get the same model as yours!

[@TutoLab]

Did you brake the back cristal?

[@martinshoosterman]

Id like to see you put this all back together.

[@How2Tech]

+martinshoosterman That part is easy I will post the video tonight.

[@vincecastillon7936]

Does the adhesive still stick when you put the back cover/plates on?

[@How2Tech]

+Vince Castillon It sticks ok as long as it is not to stretched out. I would suggest new adhesive.

[@sasostoilevski849]

is there a possibility to replace the sh.tty glass with a plastic one or like on the v10 flexible and maybe 4 of the screws to be replaced with longer ones so you can screw the plastic cover with them so you don`t go thru this again every time the s-pen is stuck or you need to replace dying battery?

[@How2Tech]

+Saso Stoilevski I know a guy who is looking at carbon fiber, I will keep you updated.

[@ChaserTree]

hey where is the internal storage on the note5? my note 5 screen broke,(and may not be working at all) and i want to be able to access my files, and delete it. is there a mini sd in there? that would be so great to just pop it out, and plug it into my computer

[@michalblank144]

What suction cup did you use?

[@KevinStOnge]

Watched this looking to see why the S-Pen would get stuck if people put it in backwards, I can see the little plastic latch there. Do you have any ideas for people who get their pen stuck on how to get that latch retracted without taking the phone apart? I'm thinking just something long, skinny, and rigid ... but I don't know what would work that people might have easy access to.

[@How2Tech]

+Kevin St.Onge cut up a thin piece of aluminum can is the only thought I have had so far.

[@joeydufrene]

i put mine in backwards when i read your comment, i was like no way it will get stuck. guess what it got stuck. 😩 luckily i got it out with a little bit of wiggling.

[@taurolyon]

Great video! You take it apart so I don't have to!

[@redberry2443]

Thank you; nice video ^_^ *(Note to all companies and Chipset Manufacturers and OEMs)* If you manufacture anything and make it nearly impossible to disassemble without breaking it, then please glue your hands to your face :) Like really, can't you just use screws instead of glue? I don't care if the phone or computer has a metallic or crystal back. If you can't take it off without damaging it, I'm not going to buy it :) Thank you for your understand :) :) :) I'm not saying I'm a better engineer than Samsung's but really? can't we just use a metallic back that has screws on it, and a thin opaque layer that gets taped on top, so when you want to take it off you replace the cheap opaque cover, unscrew the metallic back and later just change the cheap layer, or just leave the screw holes visible if you don't have the thin replaceable layer handy....

[@rohit_sharma2512]

very good job bro....

[@rowenapena9870]

can i use hair dryer? is it gonna explode?

[@reynardleveridge2098]

can u replace the home button with out having to remove the screen

[@brianr8321]

once you are in there can you change the memory from 32 to 64 ? or does it have a SD card inside somewhere?

[@How2Tech]

It is a soldered on chip so you can not increase storage.

[@mddaniel6573]

is this the only way to upgrade the gigabites

[@paqliam]

Wow, great video! Except I quit after I saw you crack the glass. Not really trying to crack the glass on my phone

[@How2Tech]

+Liam Paquette haha you just have to heat it up enough. Check out the S7 disassembly I have almost the same back but it is in one piece.

[@legervoile]

Where can i get the poker tool kit?

[@argentinadude24]

do you know where I can get the back glass replacement navy blue color?

[@How2Tech]

+Jean Pierre Larrain I can't find one yet either. I do know that etrade will soon be stocking one it just takes time to procure.

[@argentinadude24]

+How2Tech m.ebay.com/itm/171926213416

[@How2Tech]

+Jean Pierre Larrain awesome! I checked a day ago so must have just came out. GOOD FIND!

[@crystlim4241]

whats the thing that you use to heat up the phone??

[@umersaleem3100]

heat gun

[@amarmohamed3036]

do u want to sell the s pen sensor for the note 5

[@osttocastro1771]

how do you remove the glass from the digitizer?

[@phoen-gr7914]

Nice video, ty for posting

[@Fer10101]

Please, make a video showing a possible fix for the SPen, or at least how does it stuck if you insert it upside down.

[@How2Tech]

+Fernando Coletta I will upload it tonight I am already working on it.

[@Fer10101]

+How2Tech It will be very helpfull.. And viral! I think sanding the bottom of the clicky tip to make it diagonal, could be the solution.

[@Fer10101]

+How2Tech Will you upload it? Thanks!

[@How2Tech]

+Fernando Coletta HOLY SHIT! I have a way to get it out with out disassembling your phone and it is crazy easy/stupid!!! I am voicing over the video now.

[@Fer10101]

+How2Tech I'll see it in an hour. You'll be the man!

[@priscillafajardo4880]

My note 5 is water damage, is there a way I could recover the pictures ? ( I was thinking of opening it, thinking it might have a memory card) does it ?

[@grigorerosu]

I have the exact same question. Did you find an answer? It is really silly design that you lose your pictures if rains gets to your phone. Pictures more valuable than this piece of junk Note 5 phone. Worst in the history of phones.

[@OGSHADOWSTAR]

any tips for water damage?

[@adrianhoward-larsen2291]

Note 4 users- crap my batteries low let me switch it out, 5 Seconds later 100% note 5 users- crap my batteries low, just give me 20 minutes

[@IxOTAKUxNINJAxI]

Adrian Howard-Larsen lol reason why I kept my note 2 and 4. 😂

[@dom]

Do you have a twitter account or a main point of contact? Have a question for you.

[@How2Tech]

+Dom Esposito you can email me: [e-mail]

[@How2Tech]

[@rocklobster1976]

Are there any class action lawsuits regarding glass shards In consumers eyes balls

[@wushufuzz9629]

hey so my wifes just turnd off wont turn back on did all the sugested troubleshooting . 2 button 3 button cang cable plug in cpu ect.

[@wushufuzz9629]

so is there any way to reteve data please let me know

[@michaelparker2449]

This is one of the reasons I won't buy phones like this and the HTC One which are glued together because they are essentially designed to be disposable phones that after a few years most just won't bother with the hassle or cost of changing battery meaning people buy new phones sooner.

[@st_us]

I don't think you had the enough experience to remove a gorilla glass backplate before filming this video, did you ?

[@How2Tech]

+stilkus I have done a lot of s6 and edge phones. I did and s6 edge+ right before this. This one was really stuck on and needs more heat than any of the others.

[@tejas17986]

wireless charging is best to reduce the possibility of repair due to bad charge port....

[@warwick1765]

wow a lot of effort to remove the back. what are they thinking. stay with the note 4

[@apikontor]

good thanks

[@Dachozan1]

hello how are you my stylus pen is stuck how do I get it out please help!!!!😄

[@justinclark3984]

my mom's gut stuck and I was putting it in a tripod it poped out of the tripod and hit the table the stylus came out after 2 months lol

[@Dachozan1]

Justin Clark I got it the spring popped out or something took me a few days trying to figure how not to tear anything up but got some needle points and it came out now to get the stylus fixed Ty....

[@johntrussell7228]

You should NOT be using a hot air gun....you should be using warming pads. iFixit has PROPER guides on how to do this as well as the proper tools.....

[@How2Tech]

+JT 3 Yes warming pads or a hot plate (which I do have) make it easier but the point of this DIY channel is to show the most cost effective way of completing the repair. Most people who want to repair their phone are doing so as they are on a budget. These are the people who this video is aimed at not repair shops.

[@jaymhd690]

it's probably not a great idea to use that metallic tool. that is probably what caused it to shatter

[@How2Tech]

+Jay Mhd Yeah it probably didn't help but it really needed to be warmer. I use this tool all the time I just got impatient and frustrated, First time I broke a glass back with it oh well lesson learned.

[@loghome7061]

The Note 4 battery might be a little easier to remove.

[@SWED904]

lol duhhh same with the note 3 removable back dughhhh

[@MazwiZwane]

+Mike Ryshkov Guess you didn't understand the sarcasm there

[@DeadPalooza]

This phone has been perfect for me for a long time, idk why the crying in the comments besides it's hard to open af lol

[@mikelazembie1040]

the real tragedy in this video is wasting a perfectly good playing card on a worthless note 5. But thanks for pioneering some fixes for those of us stuck with this lemon until next upgrade.

[@ltra42]

you should ask Techrax for helps he can disassemble it i less than a minute. :)

[@EarDestructionStudios]

This comment needs more likes

[@shawnascy63]

Well, my perfectly unblemished phone of 2 1/2 years is now not only has a broken case but the gold color on the back ripped and I still can't get the damn cover off! Neither Verizon or Samsung certified repair shops won't touch this phone for fear that they will break the glass or some part of the phone that they may have to pay for! What a ridiculous model and I cannot afford a new phone and have no one I can take it too. I understand you can replace the back glass but what about the color? Some people don't care but I do. You pay $600 for a phone and you should be able to change the battery, two wireless chargers not FAIL within 30 days of receipt (one caught fire!) and I don't go anywhere except doctor's visits, labs, imaging, etc. as I am disabled. Your video was much more complicated once inside than the last. What am I supposed to do now???

[@kdkknguyen5152]

how to fit sim card no read

[@Youngthugger54]

9:59 when he finally takes it apart

[@mhajas725]

Wow that one is hard to get apart, bummer on that back glass

[@How2Tech]

+matt Hajas I am happy they have better build quality but that sometimes makes it harder to take apart.....oh well. A new back should only cost 10-15 dollars when it comes out. Thanks for watching!

[@kevinhess943]

Once a source for the backs comes available will you post a link? Mine fell out of my pocket before my case came in and already cracked the back.

[@gabiemontez7982]

i wish i had the note 5 but its to expensive for me

thanks for showing me what a POS I have

[@HoshouNeko]

Thanks for the video, now i know which phone i will never buy!

Who said the Note 5's battery wasn't removable?!

[@martinsandobal4878]

si la idea era romperlo esta barbaro.... de lo contrario... un bajon romperlo asi

[@nicholasseaks95]

I would've had the back off of the phone and had it torn down completely before he even got the damn cover off.

[@calirealness9777]

I'm watching on my white note 5 lol anyone else

[@How2Tech]

+Cali Realness I watched it on my Note 5!

[@hazelrose4596]

WHERE IS THE INTERNAL STORAGE

[@patriotcam1776]

I just busted mine because I was in a hurry and put the s pen in backwards and broke it inside. that's a $700 mistake I won't make again

[@PortlandMan]

Is it just me or can I hear some music playing in the background?

[@How2Tech]

+Adam D haha sounds like Dr. Who didn't mute the original track all the way....oops

[@goharikjones7387]

Its almost impossible to open it !!!

[@davidbrainerd1520]

How the hell do you spell isesimo tool?

[@davidbrainerd1520]

oh, that's about right. imagine that.

[@KStatus7]

so much for asking about the external hd lol

[@Kennerfull]

Man NEVER use metal tools to remove the glass. It can be done but don't worth the risk.

[@How2Tech]

+Kennerfull This is my first broken glass back and I use this tool everyday. Just got impatient and did not give enough heat, requires more than other Samsung s6 style phones.

[@Kennerfull]

+How2Tech Sure it can be done, but really, don't worth it, if you are not a monk os something chances are you will lost pacience and mess up, using plastic tools gives same result in a bit more time but with more relaiability. You do as you like, but since you are teching people who probably neer done this before i believe it would be better to tell them to use plastic.

[@gguybr]

will this phone ever be the same again? lol :P

[@How2Tech]

+gguybr works great just needs a new back.I am writing this reply with it.

First ot comment

[@MazwiZwane]

So i take it when the battery eventually goes, one has to invest in a battery AND A BACK cover. How long till the battery needs replacing?....well a little over two years. by then the Note 6 hype would be trending. Sneaky ass Samsung. Oh wait..apple has been doing that shit too for years....ARGH!!!

[@How2Tech]

+Mazwi Zwane You can remove the back with out breaking it just needed more heat....

[@DaughterOfGod78]

I don't know about you, but I don't want a shattered back cover. I just bought the Gold 64 GB and called it a day. $800+!!!! Ouch, AT&T!!!
