    • Switch off your phone.

    • Prepare an iOpener for softening the adhesive on the back of the Note8.

    • Apply the iOpener on the back of the Note8 along the side with the power button.

    • Use a suction handle to lift the back cover and create an opening pick to get in the gap.

    • Since the back cover is also slightly curved at the edges you want to insert the opening pick at a lower angle from underneath.

    • Start at the middle of the side and cut the adhesive while pulling up with the suction handle.

    • Be careful not to lever the opening pick too much to avoid breaking the back cover. Rather pull with the suction handle and use the pick for cutting the adhesive.

    • Move the pick towards the bottom corner and leave it there to keep the adhesive from resealing to the case.

    • Use another pick and move it to the top corner.

    • If it's getting harder to move the pick you might need to reheat the iOpener and apply it to the back cover again.

    • Again take another opening pick and carefully move it around the corner and along the top edge.

    • Reheat with an iOpener if necessary.

    • Leave the pick at the top right corner to keep the adhesive from resealing.

    • When the adhesive has been separated on all three sides properly you will be able to slowly lift the back cover.

    • Don't force it open. Use an iOpener to again soften the adhesive if the back cover won't come off or starts to bend.

    • Pay attention to the fingerprint sensor connector when flipping the back cover open. You might need to disconnect it as described in the next step.

  6. Samsung Galaxy Note8 Display Assembly with Frame Replacement: stap 6, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Use a pair of tweezers to disconnect the fingerprint sensor.

    • The connector might already have come off when flipping the back cover open.

  7. Samsung Galaxy Note8 Display Assembly with Frame Replacement: stap 7, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Remove the back cover.

    • To prepare for the reassembly remove any remaining adhesive from the phone, and clean the glued areas with isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth.

  9. Samsung Galaxy Note8 Display Assembly with Frame Replacement: stap 9, afbeelding 1 van 2 Samsung Galaxy Note8 Display Assembly with Frame Replacement: stap 9, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • Use an opening pick at the top edge to get between the NFC antenna and charging coil assembly and the case.

    • Lever the top of the assembly out of the case.

  10. Samsung Galaxy Note8 Display Assembly with Frame Replacement: stap 10, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Carefully pull up the complete charging coil and NFC antenna assembly.

  11. Samsung Galaxy Note8 Display Assembly with Frame Replacement, Battery Disconnect: stap 11, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Use the flat end of a spudger to disconnect the battery connector.

  12. Samsung Galaxy Note8 Display Assembly with Frame Replacement, Battery: stap 12, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Prepare an iOpener and apply it to the display for at least two minutes to loosen the adhesive beneath the battery. Reheat and reapply the iOpener as needed.

    • Alternatively or when the battery is blown up, you can apply some isopropyl alcohol under each corner of the battery and allow it to penetrate for several minutes to help weaken the adhesive.

  13. Samsung Galaxy Note8 Display Assembly with Frame Replacement: stap 13, afbeelding 1 van 2 Samsung Galaxy Note8 Display Assembly with Frame Replacement: stap 13, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • Use the flat end of a spudger to pry up the battery from the top right corner.

    • You will be prying against the case directly above the mainboard. Pry carefully to avoid damaging any close components.

    • You may need to reheat and reapply the iOpener repeatedly to further soften the adhesive. The adhesive is tough and it may take a few tries to get the spudger started under the battery.

    • Use the spudger to pry up the battery until you can insert an opening pick to prevent the adhesive from resealing.

    • Try your best not to deform the battery during this process. Soft-shell lithium-ion batteries can leak dangerous chemicals, catch fire, or even explode if damaged. Do not use excessive force or pry at the battery with metal tools.

    • Use the flat end of the spudger to pry up the top left corner of the battery where the flex cable is located.

    • Slide the spudger along the side of the battery to break apart remaining adhesive.

    • When prying keep to the areas marked orange. Avoid the red area in the middle which is the back of the display.

  15. Samsung Galaxy Note8 Display Assembly with Frame Replacement: stap 15, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Lift the battery out of the case.

    • Do not reuse the battery after it has been removed, as doing so is a potential safety hazard. Replace it with a new battery.

    • Remove any remaining adhesive from the phone, and clean the glued areas with isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth.

    • Follow this guide to install battery adhesive.

    • Follow this guide to install custom-cut adhesives.

    • Prepare an iOpener and apply it to the bottom part of the phone to loosen the adhesive beneath the microphone flex cable.

    • Use a pair of tweezers to carefully lift the microphone out of its recess and loosen it from the mid frame.

    • Do not remove the microphone. It is still attached to the daughterboard.

  28. Samsung Galaxy Note8 Display Assembly with Frame Replacement: stap 28, afbeelding 1 van 2 Samsung Galaxy Note8 Display Assembly with Frame Replacement: stap 28, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • It is possible to remove the motherboard whilst keeping the daughterboard in its place. However the flex connector of the daughterboard sits on the backside of the motherboard and it's a bit of a fumbling to disconnect it while you're holding the motherboard in your hand.

    • In case you're planning to remove the motherboard without the daughterboard take especially care not to damage any surrounding components whilst disconnecting the flex cable.

    • Use the pointed end of a spudger to pry up the motherboard until you can get a good grip.

    • The motherboard sits loosely on the mid frame so there are different positions to place the spudger and to pry it up. Avoid to damage any surrounding components.

Very excellent guide. Great pictures. Pictures must have been done in some sorta studio setting or edited for only what is needed for the illustration of every step. This was my first attempt at self repair on a cellphone, but I’m no slouch. I repair and refurbish all sorts of electromechanical devices and was once employed to do brain surgery on massive water cooled mainframe computers. Some of the same rules apply; have proven procedures, follow instructions, control your work space, and invest in the best tools. Since this was my first, I was not in a hurry. It took me all of 6 hours, but I was meticulous, repeated many steps to increase my confidence, and had all the time needed to do what I needed to do. Grateful for no longer being a slave to phone repair/insurance scams!! DIY forever!

Thanks for the great guide. Unfortunately, ifixit does not stock Note 8 parts in Australia. When I went to purchase the display assembly with frame from a parts supplier, they refused to sell me the part as they said that a number of customers have experienced the LCD not working on the new assembly after repairing their phone. The wholesaler would not honour the warranty as all screens are tested before dispatch, therefore, the LCD must have been damaged in the repair process. I could understand if the repair included installing a new screen into an existing frame but because all parts are being transferred into the new assembly and the parts available for sale all come with adhesive, is there any step where it is likely that the LCD could be damaged even if extremely careful?
