    • Press the SIM eject tool into the SIM card tray hole to eject the SIM card tray.

    • Remove the SIM card tray.

    • If you accidentally inserted the SIM eject tool into a microphone hole, don't worry! You most likely didn't damage the microphone.

  2. Samsung Galaxy S21 USB-C Charging Port and Daughterboard Replacement, Heat the bottom edge: stap 2, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Completely power off your phone before you begin.

    • Heat an iOpener and apply it to the back cover's bottom edge for two minutes.

    • A hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate may also be used, but be careful not to overheat the phone—the display, internal battery, and plastic back cover are both susceptible to heat damage.

    • Apply a suction cup to the back of the phone, as close to the center of the bottom edge as possible.

    • Pull up on the suction cup with strong, steady force to create a gap between the back cover and the frame.

    • Depending on the age of your phone, this may be difficult. If you're having trouble, apply more heat to the edge and try again.

    • Insert an opening pick into the gap.

    • Only insert the pick up to 5 mm, as you may damage internal components if you go further.

    • Heat an iOpener and apply it to the camera shell for two minutes.

    • As you wait for the adhesive to loosen, note the following:

    • There's additional adhesive to the right of the camera that you need to cut through.

    • There's a plate on the back cover surrounding the phone's flash that the pick can get stuck on:

    • Angle the pick downward to avoid any damage.

    • Line up the opening pick's tip with your phone's flash

    • Insert the pick slowly, making sure to avoid the flash's plate.

    • The plate's resistance can feel similar to adhesive. Angle the pick downward to keep the pick from sliding into the plate.

    • Slice the adhesive to the right of the camera.

    • Remove the back cover.

    • If your back cover is still sticking to the frame, slide the pick around the edges of the phone until the back cover completely separates.

    • During reassembly:

    • This is a good point to power on your phone and test all functions before sealing it up. Be sure to power your phone back down completely before you continue working.

    • Remove any adhesive chunks with a pair of tweezers or your fingers. Apply heat if you're having trouble separating the adhesive.

    • If you're using Samsung custom-cut adhesives, follow this guide.

    • If you're using double-sided tape, follow this guide.

Conclusie

To reassemble your device, follow the instructions in reverse order and perform the opposite actions, e.g., "reattach" instead of "removing." Skip steps that use heating and prying, and pay close attention to the 📌 bullets as you work through the steps.

After you've completed the repair, download the Samsung Members App from the Galaxy Store or the Play Store, and follow the Samsung Self-Repair document (beginning page 9) to make sure your device is fully functional.

Take your e-waste to an R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler.

Ive dome this with 3 boards from amazon and ebay and thay all turn off signal. the usb charging port works on replacements but sim and service do not work. Should a new daughter board work instantly? im having to go back to the broken usb port board and charge via wireless for weeks on end since no boards work correctly.

Jason Murphy - Antwoord

I purchased the "Fix Kit" which includes an OEM daughter board from Samsung. This board worked instantly with no issues. SIM cards in these phones might not work with the un-official boards you're getting from Amazon, or there is another issue causing them not to work for your phone.

You can get away with purchasing the part-only option instead of the whole kit. The only tool included that might be hard to source is the suction cup. Otherwise, you can use a hair dryer, thin plastic pieces (guitar picks are cheap) and a small screw driver to do this repair. Sounds like you would already have all the tools needed.
