Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Display Adhesive Replacement

Remove all traces of adhesive and debris from the phone frame's perimeter. Clean the adhesion surface with high concentration isopropyl alcohol (over 90%) and wipe it clean with a lint-free cloth.

Do not remove the recessed strip of adhesive trapped under the fingerprint sensor cable. If there is adhesive adhered on top of this strip, carefully separate and peel the top adhesive off.

If you do plan to replace the button adhesive, use tweezers to carefully pull the adhesive off. If needed, use an opening tool to gently scrape the adhesive off.

Lay the adhesive strips out to get an idea of where they go.

Insert the edge of an opening tool underneath black bracket surrounding the fingerprint sensor.

Pry up and remove the fingerprint bracket.

Use the opening tool to scrape off any adhesive residue from the fingerprint bracket.

Peel off the white backing from the fingerprint bracket adhesive.

Carefully align and apply the adhesive to the fingerprint bracket.

Use your fingers to press the adhesive onto the bracket.

Carefully align the adhesive over the capacitative button.

Peel off the blue plastic liners from the adhesives.

Peel off the clear plastic backing from the U-shaped adhesive, exposing one side of the adhesive.

Carefully line up a long edge of the adhesive with the corresponding edge of the phone frame. The open end of the "U" should face towards the top end of the frame.

Set the adhesive down lightly on the frame.

If it is not properly aligned, you can carefully peel the adhesive back up and realign it.

Once the adhesive is aligned, use your fingers to press the adhesive onto the frame.

Peel one of the end adhesive strips from the white plastic backing.

Holding the strip by the two green end tabs, line the adhesive strip with the phone frame.

Set the adhesive down lightly on the phone. Make sure that all cutouts are properly aligned.

Once aligned, use your fingers to press the adhesive into place.

Repeat the procedure for the remaining end adhesive strip.

Continue reassembling your device until you are ready to attach the screen.

Peel and remove the green plastic liner from all adhesive strips to expose the screen-facing adhesive.

Align and set the phone screen on top of the adhesive.

Use your fingers to squeeze around the perimeter of the phone to set the adhesive.
