Introduzione
Follow this guide to replace the earpiece speaker of a Samsung Galaxy Note9.
-
-
Insert a SIM card eject tool straight into the hole in the SIM card tray.
-
Press to eject the SIM card tray.
-
-
-
Power off your phone before beginning disassembly.
-
Use a hairdryer, a heatgun, or prepare an iOpener and apply it to the right edge of the back of the phone for about a minute to soften the adhesive underneath.
If using an iOpener it will need to be fully heated and set on for at least 5 minutes. You’ll know the phone is hot enough when its almost too hot to touch.
-
-
-
Apply a suction handle to the back cover.
-
Lift with a suction handle to create a gap between the back cover and the frame of the phone.
-
Insert an opening pick into the gap.
-
-
-
Note that there is more adhesive along the top edge and around the camera bezel than around the rest of the phone.
-
Cut carefully around the left edge near the fingerprint sensor or you risk damaging the ribbon cable inside.
-
-
-
Starting from the center, cut the adhesive up and down the right side with an opening pick.
-
-
-
Use a heat gun or hair dryer or apply a heated iOpener to the left side of the rear panel for about a minute to soften the adhesive underneath.
If using an iOpener it will need to be fully heated and set on for at least 5 minutes. You’ll know the phone is hot enough when its almost too hot to touch.

-
Use the tip of a spudger to pry the fingerprint sensor ribbon cable up and out of its socket.
-
-
-
Remove the back cover.
-
Use tweezers to peel away any remaining adhesive from the phone's chassis. Then clean the adhesion areas with high concentration isopropyl alcohol (at least 90%) and a lint-free cloth to prep the surface for the new adhesive.
-
Turn on your phone and test your repair before installing new adhesive and resealing the phone.
-
Carefully apply the new adhesive to the back cover, then line up one edge of the glass against the phone chassis and firmly press the glass into the phone.
I am installing a new backplate (this is my first repair; I was CERTAIN that I would crack the back glass, and I was NOT wrong) but I’m not sure how tweezers are meant to remove gooey adhesive! I simply used the blue plastic pry tool as a scraper and gently rolled up the goo. Maybe the glue is different because I have a refurbished phone? That may also explain why I had so much trouble with Step 1. Hope that this helps!

One question, if I go through the aluminum mesh, with a pin to the bottom, do I hit the plastic or the speaker? it's a curiosity that is altering me a little haha. Thanks
I have not taken apart the speaker on the Note9 so I don’t know for sure but I think you would hit the speaker.
Metal i mean

It is a curiosity that I would like to know, and it is that I can not find any photo taken from above, only from a side angle. Thank you
