Introduction

Use this guide to replace a cracked rear camera lens cover on your Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G.

A damaged rear camera lens cover may be causing poor quality photos.

Before starting this repair, make sure the issue is with the lens cover and not one of the cameras.

You’ll need replacement adhesive for the back cover and camera lens cover to reassemble your device.

    • Heat an iOpener and apply it to the bottom edge of the back cover for two minutes.

    • You can also use a hair dryer—but be careful, as extreme heat will warp the back cover.

    • Apply a suction cup to the center of the back cover's bottom edge, as close to the edge as possible.

    • Pull up on the suction handle with strong, steady force to create a gap between the cover and frame.

    • This will require significant force. If you're having trouble, apply more heat and try again.

    • Insert an opening pick in the gap.

    • During reassembly, this is a good point to power on your device and test all functions before sealing it up. Be sure to power it back down completely before you continue working.

    • If you're reinstalling your old back cover:

    • Use tweezers or your fingers to peel off the old adhesive from the back cover and frame.

    • Use highly-concentrated isopropyl alcohol (over 90%) and a microfiber cloth to remove any remaining adhesive residue.

    • Follow this guide to apply new custom-cut adhesive.

    • If you're installing a new back cover, peel off the liners and press firmly around the perimeter to secure the back cover to the frame.
