Samsung Galaxy S Repair

 

Step 1 — Samsung Galaxy S Teardown 

• The phone itself!
• Notice the bad lighting, dirty phone etc. just proves how hi-tec i am.
  
  
   
  
  
   
  
  
   
  
  

  Step 2 

• Removing the boring stuff. Back cover, battery etc.
• 
  
  
  
   
  
  
   
  
  

  Step 3 

• The battery!
• It shows 1500mAh, decent.
• also the manufacturing date is shown.
• I added a piece of sticky tack, to cover up the IMEI code, again showing how hi-tec i am!
  
  
   
  
  
   
  
  

  Step 4 

• This is the point of no return when it comes to warranty.
• But that's okay, i'm using this phone for spares anyways.
• Sticky tack
• Screws, 7 to be exact!
  
  
   
  
  
   
  
  

  Step 5 

• Here comes the first tricky part. it's easiest to start right under the volume button, and work your way from there.
• Be extremely careful if you are using metal tools like i am. it will easily damage components if you accidentally jam it in.
• And it's off!
  
  
   
  
  
   
  
  
   
  
  

  Step 6 

• Lets see the innards of this thing.
• The back camera.
• And the front facing camera
• The speaker, actually quite large.
• Water detector on the plastic cover, as you can see, this is a water damaged phone. normally you would see a purple pattern.
• Contacts, probably for antennas.
  
  
   
  
  
   
  
  

  Step 7 

• Better close ups of the components.
• Vibration motor
  
  
   
  
  
   
  
  
   
  
  

  Step 8 

• Taking off the speaker.
• Remember to lift the tab on me!
• And it's off!
  
  
   
  
  
   
  
  
   
  
  

  Step 9 

• Now for the camera!
• Both the rear and front camera are a single component.
• Lift the connector in picture 2 carefully! lots of components under it.
  
  
   
  
  
   
  
  

  Step 10 

• Now for the motherboard!
• Detach all (4) of these to get the motherboard out.
• Done! (do not try to remove yet)
  
  
   
  
  
   
  
  

  Step 11 

• Now detach the power button, its held down by a little bit of glue, not a big deal.
• Lift it carefully, making sure no connectors are stuck on. Especially the one marked red.
  
  
   
  
  
   
  
  

  Step 12 

• Front/back
• Flash memory.
• CPU running at 1Ghz, but can be overclocked.
• Volume buttons.
• Ill add more specific specs when i get around to it.
  
  
   
  
  
   
  
  
   
  
  
   
  
  

  Step 13 

• Removing the cable for sim/sd card slot..
• And it's off.
• Bad white balance, sorry!
  
  
   
  
  
   
  
  

  Step 14 

• The simcard/sd card slot.
• And the stuff underneath.
  
  
   
  
  
   
  
  
   
  
  

  Step 15 

• Now for the metal Shielding on the back! again, more specs coming (hopefully) soon.
  
  
   
  
  

  Step 16 

• Parts parts parts!
• And a bad white balance..
  
  
   
  
  
   
  
  
   
  
  

  Step 17 

• Now for the component that holds the headphone jack, earpiece and both proximity and light sensor.
• There is a cool app "androsensor" that lets you access all the sensors in your phone!
• This thing quite literally just pulls off. you can remove it without any special tools!
• Be careful not to tug on the cables too hard! there is some glue, but it peels right off.
  
  
   
  
  
   
  
  

  Step 18 

• Now for the bottom portion, including the Mic, vibrating engine and the antenna board.
• I couldn't get it off completely, but i can give you a good picture of what it looks, lets see..
• We seem to be connected together!
  
  
   
  
  
   
  
  
   
  
  

  Step 19 

• Disconnect, unplug, take off..
  
  
   
  
  
   
  
  
   
  
  

  Step 20 

• Be extremely careful when taking off these little boards, they're on tight! and they like to bend around.
  
  
   
  
  
   
  
  
   
  
  

  Step 21 

• see that? the AMOLED display is actually transparent!
• Can't go farther than this without a heat gun that I don't have. I tried removing the bezel, but with no luck.
• That's about it! Thank you for reading, and please give me feedback!
• This is my first teardown, and pictures were taken with a functional Galaxy s phone.
