It wasn't the tiny screws' fault

and think you couldn't possibly fix it yourself? So did I, until I found out Samsung supported self-repair. Then I dove into the process head and hands first, and I'm happier with my results.

I’ll walk you through my experience repairing my own phone but first cut to the chase. I would not advise doing this yourself unless you have a very steady hand and you have some relatable experience, say with a hobby like model-making or fine tool work. You should definitely not try this if you are the type of person who reads the beginning and end of an instruction, looks at the photo, then says “oh yeah I get the gist.” You need to read every bit of each instruction.

Nothing happened. I pulled harder. It did not budge. I thought of pulling harder, then imagined all the terrible ways I could hurt my phone by using a suction cup to bend it in half while it’s warm. That was my problem, it was only warm. Here’s the bad news. Once your phone comes unglued, it will not be watertight again. If I wasn’t sure of this before I started the repair, scraping old adhesive tape and wiping gunk from the inside of the covers made it clear that I was not going to be capable of redoing what the factory had done. I will just need to be careful until it is time to buy a new phone.The back cover was removed, but we were still just getting started.

At the top of the instructions, when you get to “Step 9 Remove the back cover,” there is a tiny note labeled “During reassembly:” Here I found a link for how to use the included adhesive tabs. These tabs look like a screen protector, but instead of glass, you get a slim outline of intensely sticky tape that fits the perimeter of the phone.
