Hi guys,
I'm trying to do a battery replacement but I'm running into a lot of resistance on step one. Getting the glass of my Note5 was a cinch, but no matter how much I hear it, the suction cup won't open up a space to pry open. Anybody else have this problem or a suggestion?
Thanks!

I need help finding a peice. I ordered a screen replacement and it did not come with the plastic screw mount. I attached a picture of the part I need.
I need this peice because the old one has old adhesive strips stuck to it and I can't remove them.

You can remove the adhesive. Rub it with your finger, and it will start to roll up and come off. And yes, it is a slow, labor intensive process, but it does work.
Anybody know how to replace this piece? I don't know how to separate the plastic from the glass.
hello iv had my 3t for about a month and i just noticed the cammra is faulty it wont focus and makes noise when trying to focus, iam not opposed to diying a fix but i can't seem to open the phone i unscrewed the screws and tried using a plastic opening tool, a metal pry tool and a suction cup. But it's just to tight any ideas on how to open it?
Did you watch something like this?
Hey guys, so my mi5's digitizer broke and I'm changing it. Anyway I got a problem: while trying to remove the battery both the adhesives broke even before I started pulling them out. Now I'm stuck with the battery glued to the device. I don't want to try to pull it out using tools since I had a bad experience in the past (almost made a hole in a battery), is there anyway I can do it without damaging it? (since it is also pretty new and I don't want to change it). Maybe heating it and using a suction cup could do?
Good Question, I had the same Problem with another phone. I also heated it up with a hair dryer and pulled and carefully out with a plastic pryer tool (no sharp tools here as you stated - had the experience with a galaxy S7 edge that I made a hole into.it and it swollen up immediately...very scary but luckily nothing more happens...)
Good Luck!!

One way is to heat up adhesive with hair dryer and gently work it out with some plastic tool
Hi guys,
has anyone of you tried changing the front glass without digitizer and display?
In disassembly videos I can only see people changing the whole thing.
Also, do you think I can manage to repair the front glas as well as the USB port with just an iron instead of a hot air blower (and the usual tools made of plastic)?
Thanks in advance!

I haven't done the front glass on mine yet, but my understanding is that in general you're really better off replacing front glass as an entire unit with digitizer and display. An iron on pretty low through a cloth/towel might well work. It's not just glue that melts, it's a thin strip of rubber gasket material with adhesive (okay, maybe it's thick glue, but it looked pre-formed to me) holding the glass back cover on.
Heating probably helps a bit with softening the stuff, but after the first time you peel it up you won't really need to do that again. I'd recommend picking a corner (say, bottom left as you're looking at the back) and just plan on prying from there every time, so you only have one spot where the plastic gets marred.
Don't spend too much time heating, worry more about having a suction cup tool that you can lift with while you try to work a guitar pick or hobby knife or something in under the corner. Have at least two ready, so you can wedge one in, and work your way around without it just dropping back down on you. You'll probably tear the material a bit but that's okay, just spread it back out evenly around the edge on the glass before you put the cover back on. Also, you definitely should be using a case to make sure it doesn't just fall off in your pocket once you've opened it up a couple times.
USB cable replacement isn't awful, just time consuming. The biggest gotcha is to keep all three of the little gold clips on the plastic "mid frame" ring (that's the first thing you remove that requires screws after getting the back glass up) from fallling and getting lost.
You can PM me if you have any questions about this, I've replaced my USB cable/port assembly a couple times (first replacement was defective). And I'm about to attempt replacing the screen as a whole unit with glass & digitizer on my wife's Z2 Plus, so I'll let you know how that goes.
