How to Replace the Battery on a Samsung Galaxy Note 5

[@skazariants]

Do you need to buy a new adhesive or the old one will hold?

[@Vipul.Canada]

never use metal tool for removing battery. battery can puncture and blast. use plastic pry tool

[@ramsheat]

Useful for the thoughtless. Thanks.

[@acgolem]

The amount of pressure required would instantly break a plastic tool. A broken plastic tool can be sharp and under pressure could puncture a battery. A metal tool used correctly was the right choice in this instance.

[@Rabid_Badger_racing]

Ya I could only imagine. I'm a hobbyist and I have seen many of Lipo batteries catch on fire lol.

[@robertmiles9942]

I managed to short the old battery during removal, while working it loose from the glue. While working the metal slim-jim-like shim tool underneath, I suddenly smelled a chemical odor. I stopped what I was doing and touched the back of the battery. Scalding hot! The battery began to swell a bit. I placed the phone on the driveway with nothing flammable nearby, then aimed an IR thermometer at it. Battery was at 210°F. Thermal runaway temp for Li-Po is 265°F. The temp did not rise any further, so I put a small battery powered fan on it, and eventually it cooled down to ambient. After carefully extracting it the rest of the way, it turned out I had torn the bag open and shorted it with my metal shim underneath where I could not see. I lucked out; it was only shorted when the tool was present. Phone is undamaged. It's a good idea to run your battery all the way down until the phone shuts off before doing this job to reduce the amount of stored energy in case something goes wrong. The glue is very strong, and simply pulling on the battery is unsafe. It needs to be carefully separated along both edges, similar to how you removed the glass back.

[@jxsilicon9]

You're suppose to run the battery down. You should have checked out other instruction websites. Li-on can explode if punctured.

[@maadams1985]

Only question I have ..did u need to use more adhesive when reapplying the back

[@suckafreecee2047]

@Alton Kilbourne he sure is

[@basharkhan9476]

Thanks a lot. That helped me. During this COVID19 Pandemic, every mobile shop is closed here, my battery was working only for 5% and then my mobile was getting heated and switched off. Because of your tutorial, I was able to change the battery and use my mobile phone now. Thanks again

[@angelagreen554]

Mine JUST died. Screen went blank and felt hot and now I cant get it to turn on or charge. Is this what happened to yours ? Want to know if maybe my battery fired finally or something

[@caliwaiiankev2279]

[@aliejohnson9295]

Honestly

[@mikethelma]

It would have been lovely had you shown heating the phone. That step is critical. Also, nice if you'd have shown ANYTHING you were doing when you started taking the back off. Nice view of the table though.

[@mikeanderson1994]

Ikr worst vid ever

[@PamWilkins1]

For me replacing the battery was the only option because I am still paying for the phone. If I don't use the phone much the battery might last all day. Yesterday I made 1 short phone call and sent and received several text and the battery was dead in 6 hours. If I use the phone moderately I have to charge it part way through the day. If it has heavy usage then I need to charge it twice. So replacing the battery is a must. One of the things you need to be warned about is if you have a glass back it could shatter. I have a heat gun and I heated up the the bottom of the phone, I lifted it up with the suction cup but when I put the pick under it the glass cracked and once it cracks it shatters the whole back. So I went back to Amazon and bought a back cover. All in all with this video I was about to replace the battery for under 40 bucks. Really good price. Also make sure that along with the screw drivers and picks that you have a small paperclip so you can pop out the SD card. By the by could not have replaced the battery without this video, thanks. As a technician I love the internet because you can find a fix for just about anything now.

[@mikethelma]

I am at the point where I carry a high capacity battery with me. When it gets low I charge the phone from that if I'm on the go and can't sit and wait an hour for it to charge from the wall. What a pain. You'd think they could have made it 1 mm thicker and put in a larger battery.

[@gaelenlawson2307]

Thank you for making this video. The store told me it was integrated and it couldn't be changed and that a new phone was in order. I found that guitar picks worked very well, thin enough and strong enough for the task. You can find jewelers screw drivers at any hardware store for cheap. The whole replacement cost me under $70 for tools and batteries.

[@tex4668]

Wouldn't it wise to test the charging of the battery prior to adding all those screws???

[@darrenduggal3729]

For those who want to know, you must heat the back glass immensely. It should be so hot that you can't touch it without burning yourself. Only then will it start to come off. Taking the glass off is a real pain. The battery is bad too, but not as much as the back.

[@mariepyronneau4340]

no wonder mine was not coming off . not enough heat. thanks my cover is also cracked immensely. can the suction cup still work?

[@kimberlycurtsinger72]

What do u heat it up with?

[@darrenduggal3729]

@@kimberlycurtsinger72 used a blow dryer. Heat gun would be best.

[@pavel1599627]

after watching this im going to buy note 4 at this point

[@altgenesis]

Don't buy a Note 4. All Note 4 have a power doesn't come back on problem. Just search "Note 4 power won't come back on" on KZbin.Turns out the power regulator chip ball solder joints are flacky. Also the phone would shut down at 40% battery level. I solved that though by cleaning the battery terminals and the phone battery contacts with WD 40. Problem solved. Now my phone will go right down to 7% then shut off. When I shut the phone off to change the battery however the phone wouldn't turn back on. I had to take the battery out and let the phone cool down for at least 15 to 30 minutes before starting it back up. Some people have had success by having the regulator chip re-balled. I went back to using my Note 3. No problems with the Note 3. The Note three works with a used bluetooth speaker I bought. The Note 4 wouldn't recognize it. Just so they can say it is water resistant they put in non-replaceable batteries and sealed it in the Note 5. Big deal. I prefer replaceable batteries. I swap 2 batteries back and forth.

[@hectorrodrig]

LMFAO... Right I was thinking the same thing... Who wants to go through all that? But what I was also wondering is how much would a phone repair place charge to do it? Probably close to $100 or more I would think seeing as many damn screws have to be undone and all the damn prying... On second thought nosy neighbors and certain family members are good at prying so maybe I can just put it back together LOL

[@nitrolight1778]

I had a Note 4 and the darn thing started to degrade rapidly after a software update. Eventually it wouldn't turn on no matter what state the battery was in (yes I had bought new batteries for it)

[@EnhancedTrashBin]

Just keep a note 3, still a pretty decent phone. I just have one for storage purposes since you know, the Note 5 doesn't have a sd card slot. Sadly. But that's what I get for not doing proper research and not using my brain.

[@joelt3944]

same cant be bothered with this id end up breaking the device

[@jeremyking6146]

great video and thank you for sharing, I have one question, I see you reused the factory adhesive, is it going to hold up after being pulled apart? is it still really sticky? thanks!

[@ryantexada9269]

If you're worried about it coming off then just get a case

[@Logo897]

Wow this is quite a complex process for me! I'm happy I just stuck with my note 3. Swapped my battery out and now I'm all set for another few years.

[@pimpsoulja8888]

hey thanks for the video, i completed this process yesterday, my only advice for anyone doing this is buy a new cover before you start as it is near impossible to remove without shattering it. my battery came with all the tools i needed for the small screws but i still needed to use a flat sharp object to both very carefully remove the cover (which shattered the old one) and to remove the battery.

[@kevingo9895]

And the paint on my screen peeled off when i took frame off too

[@youandmama]

Where could i buy the battery. Is it the same with note 4? I cant find it here in ph.

[@ARSENIO3234]

so what happens if the glue of the back glass wasn't working? is there a glue/adhesive to use?

[@googleuser569]

BrooklynBeast Lopez similar to putty glue , not caulking. Same adhesive as we use to place on emblems on cars.

[@OnPointContractors]

Where do u buy your batteries?

[@jamespark8706]

Can you please clarify one thing. If you cut the glue off the back of the first case to get to the screws and in the end when it comes time to place the case back on again, would it not make sense that the case will not adhere and seal as well as it did before cutting the glue. Don't we need fresh new adhesive to make sure everything seals back together well like the first time before cutting and melting the glue?

[@russmack7910]

@kilahchris A better word than harden would be adhere. If the original adhesive is in good shape, there's really no reason it wouldn't adhere the glass cover to you phone. If it has cooled, it MUST be reheated. Just keep in mind, the internal parts would now be exposed.

[@terris.1177]

Do you think the cell phone repair stores would be able to use this method for repairs? I just need to charge my phone to transfer some important pictures and word documents. I have already purchased a new phone.

[@steffjb777]

Great job on explaining process. Thanks, pretty thorough, except for heating part. What if don't have a hairdryer? What else can I use. I understand, avoid using metal to pry off back. What else can be used besides guitar picks? What size Phillips screwdriver did you use. I'm just starting and need to get some tools for fixing my phone and my laptops. Thanks. Jeff

[@jjss488]

Max M - My note 5 was unable to be stolen because of this. I installed tasker and another app that tasker runs when the screens turn on to prevent the phone from being turned off when locked. They also couldn't lower the ring volume. Even if they did, it doesn't matter. I used tasker to set a routine where if I text my phone a specific text, the phone rings loudly until I text another message that stops it, or I unlock it. Since the above method to remove the battery is the only way to remove the battery, the battery can't be easily removed to turn off and steal the phone silently. So when I forgot my phone at a small store, using both the gps, rfi signals and the phone constantly ringing, I found it quickly. The kid who had it looked so embarrassed too.

[@MOTORCYCLES-ANDGUNS]

JJ SS that's very smart I'm thinking of removing my battery soon maybe this August since it will be exactly 2 years since I got the phone.

[@jjss488]

MOTORCYCLES ANDGUNS - September will be two years for me! Haha were both still on note 5's. I love this phone. But my microphone has stopped working (my fault) and the front camera glass is dusty from the inside (my fault too). So I'm thinking of selling this phone, and buying the same phone or maybe upgrading to the next note.

[@sugarpazjewel6411]

what do you use for heat

[@ramsheat]

So I am really trying to understand how you did this; the end. I don't think that you can just put the back glass cover back on without adding any glue. And Maybe possibly after that heating it up or something to activate it and make it stick. But I can tell the cover is not going to just stick back on have factory grade resistance after that. Also, trying to place the cover it looks like it might have gotten smaller or something, some of the undercarriage exposed by like a 1 mm of space and two of the corners don't completely seal either. Any ideas on workarounds or other experience anyone can share?
