Samsung Epic 4G take apart:
- First step is to remove the back battery by pressing in the button at the bottom of the phone which will then loosen the cover. The battery and cards can now be removed.
- Next remove the six (6) screws that are holding the back housing in place. Screws are located at each corner and one on the center of each side.
- Carefully insert the safe pry tool in the crack between the back housing and the front housing of the phone. Begin at the bottom and lightly loosen the clips, working your way all the way around the phone. You can now remove the back housing by simply pulling it lightly away from the front part of the phone.
- Unlock the keyboard and the antenna clips using safe pry tool. These can be found at the left side of the motherboard, and appear as flat pieces of metal. Now cautiously insert the safe pry tool beneath them and press upward, to bend them into a straight up position instead of flat with the board as the currently are.
