hey what's up guys my name is Mario and I tried to change the battery on the
galaxy note 5 in 2018. I used a kit that I got online for about $15 it was
the first time I did it and then this happened let's go check it out
I came online there was this battery pack heat for about 15 dollars and I
said you know what maybe I can do it I mean it looked like it was very simple
like basically all the tools were there in the 15 dollar
kit that I got all the tools were there you had the screwdrivers a suction cup
or everything basically that you needed to do the replacement and and on the
reviews it sounded like a lot of people were able to do it i watch a couple of
videos where people did it very easily and they talk about how they just had to
heat up the phone and he just basically removed the panel so I decided what can
go wrong so I decided just to order it and just do it myself I went ahead and I
did it and Eddie was just a big mess when I finish up I didn't have a heat
gun I didn't want to use a hairdryer because a lot of people mention about
the phones getting damaged if you're not careful if you overheat him and you put
too much heat on Eddie can damage the phone so I didn't want to do that I read
online some people were talking about if you just like a hot plate I can iron it
out that will actually help so I try that I did it for probably 20 minutes 25
minutes I was messing with it I tried to get it really hot and and honestly I
mean the phone to get pretty hot and I thought it was ready to go and and it
just didn't happen after using this tool for for several attempts I was not able
to get it in there like even a suction cup to suction cup that came with it
this thing right here I mean it looks like it's pretty well made I mean it
didn't come apart I put some pressure on this thing and I thought it was gonna
break any didn't but it was just not pulling the the phone it was not pulling
the back cover enough where I could slide something in there eventually I
was able to get it played and get it in there and I was able to get start going
from there but that's where everything started going bad as I just started
sliding down the blade and the back over just started cracking think I'll to the
point where I just said you know what how are we broke it there's nothing I
can do about it I just basically tried to yank it off even even just trying to
yank it off me you will see in there like it was hard to pull it off like it
took me a while just to be able to remove it completely I didn't want to
damage any of the other components I really didn't know what to expect so I
was successfully able to get the the back panel off even though it just
completely destroyed so at this point I was like you know what I already had bad
with me let me just go ahead and continue doing it and see if I can get
it installed removing the screws I was able to get most of the screws and on
the last screw the actual screwdriver stripped on that end tip so I was not
able to get the last screwed screw out of there so I basically had to go back
and I used two blade to reshape the screwdriver the end tip so I could go
back there and just finish up taking off the last screw so from here I just had
to push the front panel out of the frame and this is where something else
happened the paint that is in front panel that start started peeling off
apparently the glue cut up to it and when I tried to push it forward it just
basically started peeling off so as you can see the front panel got all peeled
off and at this point I was like you know what I already messed up I'll just
continue doing it so luckily after that no more the paint came off and I was
able to remove the the front panel easily the display panel came off easily
from the frame and then next I had to remove the battery which was actually
glued to the back panel oh and and it did struggle a little bit to get this
battery off I didn't want to break anything else at this point I had
basically had destroyed the phone but luckily I was able just to junk it off
just easily I started going from one side to another and towards the end I
was able to get the battery off with no issues now once I got the battery off
when I had to put the new battery in there there was no issues I was able
just to slide it in there clip it back in assemble the phone back in in one one
piece and there was no issues getting the phone back together phone was
working correctly battery was working so I was pretty happy so at this point I
was able to get the battery in there and the battery is working pretty good I
already tried it for about a week and so far it's doing good I'm gonna have an
update coming up so I'm gonna give it a couple of weeks maybe a month month and
a half and I'll have an update on how well this third-party batteries are do
it I have read some bad reviews about some of these batteries and not
exploding but just basically expanding or just a battery just not doing holding
the charge like they did on the beginning so I'll have an update for you
guys so make sure you subscribe to this channel or just watch out for that video
have a common link on the comment section below once I have that video out
now as far as the back panel I'm gonna go ahead and order a back panel for my
mess and I think I found a few than that they cost between 10 to 15 dollars so I
also have a video coming up on that and see how well they do with it actually
attached back to the form will it look like the original so stay tuned for that
video now the question that you pro wondering can you do it yourself I think
when it comes to disassembly in a phone like this you you have to know what
you're doing or at least you have to have some experience I feel like if I
had more knowledge about how much heat I need to apply to it and went to remove
the glass panel and how much pressure I needed to do I probably wouldn't have
broke in the back back over and and the average user probably doesn't know D so
if you come across this battery pack hits for $15.00 and you've never done it
before I wouldn't recommend you do that because
it especially if you're using the note 5 or the note aid maybe the note 9 that is
coming out and you want to do it yourself once your batteries not doing
so well I wouldn't recommend you do that just take it take it to a shop so I know
I could have done a lot of things differently to make this battery
replacement successful so let me know in the comment section below what do you
guys think I did wrong why should I have done different you recommend it I'm a
little bit skeptical about overheating the phones I just know that if I would
had used a heat gun or a hair dryer and overheat this phone I could have done
some permanent damage to the hardware so I don't know let me know your thoughts
if you have a note phone casillas caring to this channel we have a lot more
videos coming up on the note 5 not 1809 even the note 4 so consider subscribing
