Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Battery Replacement

[@MaribelM]

Great video! I am a nooblet when it comes to electronics repair but I was able to follow along and replace the battery on my Samsung S20 FE. It was a lot easier than I anticipated. There was one extra cable that I had to undo that is not in this video but it was no issue. Thanks again!

[@DIYGeardo]

Glad it helped!

[@corey7219]

I'm nervous in doing this battery replacement. All I'm doing is unsticking it from it's places then putting it back in, as a test for the note 9 and s9 battery replacements I'll do in December

[@maythesciencebewithyou]

why did you need to replace it? The S20fe was released in Sept 2020. You replaced it in July 2021 according to your comment. Did it lose capacity so quickly?

[@MaribelM]

@@maythesciencebewithyou I dropped my phone and my original battery began to bulge. I replaced that battery out of safety concerns. Replaced battery with OEM battery I bought on eBay and have not had any issues since. I replaced the battery myself because it was going to cost about $250 to have a repair shop do it or a long time off I sent it in to Samsung. Replacing the battery myself cost me about $70 (bought a repair heat plate and the batteries were $20).

Great tutorial. Easy to follow

[@charlesmcgehee3227]

Very efficiently done, and great teaching method.

[@DIYGeardo]

Thanks for your feedback. Please share..

[@genevahendersom3593]

I know 1 thing I could follow this video and replace my battery but I’m not a patient person. I would lose some parts and forgotten where things went back in place. I would be so fed up I would break the phone. Loved the video but I’ll pay a professional to replace my battery. I really I had the patience for this.

[@DIYGeardo]

Compare to other repairs, this is kind of easy.

[@danialh.8031]

very concise and straightforward tutorial, thank you good sir

[@DIYGeardo]

Thanks..

[@Hoinar9]

Thanks for video. After battery replament, it necesary to recalibrate or make some software comands, for the phone to know you have put a new battery?

[@DIYGeardo]

No need to do anything. It is fine

[@Hoinar9]

[@b.entranceperium]

I remember when Samsung just let you take out the battery on their phones. How I miss those days...

[@DIYGeardo]

Yeah good days

[@Rbbo-wm8en]

Is it still waterproof after this?

[@Rauthaz]

Thank you so much! With your guide, I managed to change the battery on my own today! Saved a couple of hundred for a couple minute's of work.

[@DIYGeardo]

Great.Thanks for your feedback.

[@HanaFilms1]

Hello! Is the S20 FE battery the same as the regular S20 batteries? I need to purchase a replacement and it seems our local only stocks S20

[@DIYGeardo]

It is not same..

[@Davinamartins7923]

What type of screw driver is needed

Thanks so much, this was easy, informative and highly concise!

[@DIYGeardo]

[@PrankHouseClark]

Is the adhesive you used 1p68 rated?

[@DIYGeardo]

You can’t make the device waterproof by using adhesive or glue.

[@anantbodhichaurey6732]

What about waterproofing? My service centre informed me that you need to change the front display as well for waterproofing

[@soviet_salsa2983]

Could i use isopropyl alcohol as opposed to a heating gun to remove the adhesive from under the battery?

[@DIYGeardo]

Well you can, but be gentle and add little. If it spreads to the screen, then you might get issues with the screen.

[@DanMelbourneAus]

Thank you so much. Brilliant worked like a trick..

[@DIYGeardo]

Glad it helped

[@ileznetherlands1645]

Don't ever let Apple and Samsung make cars! You will need a heat gun to open up the hood for a simple washer fluid refill...

How do I know if replacing the battery is the only thing needed to repair my phone and no other problems are present? My battery does not charge using cable charger, and does not charge using wireless charger. So I cannot turn it on and I have a lot of photos in the internal storage that were not backed up elsewhere.

[@ri-kisgf6689]

i have this phone and it just turned off and wont turn back on again, could it be the battery thats the problem?? because it was working perfectly fine until it just froze and turned off and wouldnt turn back on🙁

[@DIYGeardo]

Is the phone is able to charge?

No. Only Service Centre Repair will have that feature..

[@jimalcantara6638]

Is there a glue that can be used that will make the s20fe water resistant again?

If i'm correct no..it needs Proper machine sealing..

[@angieonyoutube]

[@corey7219]

Samy bottom speaker has been busted for 3 weeks at this point in my s20 fe. I already replaced it with another one. It sounds better, but the music is severely lacking in volume. Voices are ok. What should I look at the next time?

[@DIYGeardo]

Maybe replacement part having issues ? Try another one if possible

[@sherryconner7833]

Thank you so much. Hoping I can do this. Very informative video.

[@DIYGeardo]

You are welcome 🙏

[@mohammedmohammedsaeed9547]

Thank you very much for this informative video, I have one question, where to get a good brand replacement battery?

[@DIYGeardo]

Well it depend on the place you live, some places sell original service pack batteries, if not you can try good OEM batteries.

[@TronHutson]

Phone works after replacing battery which is awesome. Unfortunately the speaker doesn't work. Probably missed something with wiring. Not sure what to do next or where speaker is exactly

[@DIYGeardo]

It is on the bottom speaker cover.. just check the contacts .. or maybe the charging port is faulty

[@TronHutson]

It was the contacts on speaker. Not secure. All good now

[@shahmeerahmed3772]

Sir After changing the Battery how much SOT it provides?

One question can you put a 5000mah battery in this?

[@Richard-ps7ht]

I have dropped my s20fe and now its frozen screen is ok just the back cover has cracked and must of damaged inside the phone. Is it something you can repair?

@@Richard-ps7ht Seems like you have a bad LCD, for the moment you can charge from a wireless charger. FIrst needs to open the phone to see issues, then as per your description, we can try with a new charging port and a screen.

[@123carlittios]

The phone wont be water resistant after the battery replacement right?

[@DIYGeardo]

Yes Correct..but service center repairs should cover those too.

[@missing._.teeth.]

its a shame how hard it is for this one to be fixed. on my s7 it was like 6 screws and the connector plug.

Well I learned one good thing, if one of our S20 FE need a new battery I'm going to hire it out... Too many special tools and materials Mind you I was "fixing" electronics when it was mostly tubes.... went to transistors and after that ICs, but I know my limits.

GEEZ, a LOT more complicated to r/r a battery on one of these "smart" phones than on a flip phone. Why can't they make it easier to do? Looks like the only alternative a regular consumer would have if the battery goes bad is to get a whole new phone .. !

I’m not recommend this if you’re not a professional. In my case, battery adhesive is really strong even heat can’t make it easier to pull and I end up accidentally puncturing into cell when trying to pull it off and almost burn my house.

Well need patience and time, Sometimes samsung battery glue is Holding tight. Need to add some heat (do not heat if the battery is swollen) and gently pry the battery.

Lmao. Imagine if he just left the battery in there, stacked another on top, and had a giant opening going forward 😄 🤣

[@giovanni4151]

Not well done. You didn't remove the old adhesive and didn't test before closing it. Much care need to be taken to preserve the water resistant

[@DIYGeardo]

In some devices removing the existing glue is quite impossible.There are ways to do it, for example using alcohol. But a working screen can have issues. So it is fine, but regarding the waterproofing, if you need preserve it, please go with the service centre repairs.Other repairs can't keep it. It needs proper machine work.
