Introduzione
Use this guide to replace a damaged NFC antenna, charging coil, and loudspeaker on your Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus.
This guide was performed on the SM-G996B/DS (international) model. Other models have an additional antenna cable sitting in the edge of the midframe.
If you do not replace the adhesive seals when reassembling, your device will function normally, but will most likely lose its water protection.
You’ll need replacement adhesive to reattach components when reassembling the device.
