Use the Key tool (aka Needle) or Paperclip. Push

the tip all the way into the hole until the tray
ejects, and then pull the tray of SIM and Memory
card (Micro SD) out.
ℹ Remember the location for the SIM and Memory
card (Micro SD) trays so that nothing is confused
when reassembling.
⚠ Pay attention! The tool must be inserted into a
hole on the edge of the phone's housing. Do not
press too hard. It may break the tray eject
mechanism.

Step 3. Open the back cover

We recommend using a special heating device

such as a separator machine, heat gun, or heating
mat. It will simplify the process. You can use a
home hairdryer, but you will have to make a nozzle
by hand or have a suitable one in the kit to gently
heat and concentrate the heat flow in the right
place.
ℹ The surface of the back cover must be heated to
so en the adhesive underneath. The approximate
heating temperature is 50° C / 125° F.
Use a thin plastic film or pick for separation. To
facilitate the process, you can use isopropyl
alcohol. It is o en most difficult to pass the tool
between the parts to be divided. Choose the far
edge from the FFC cables or buttons.
Do not use a lever or any force for separation that
could damage the elements inside.
Do not let the liquid get inside the smartphone.
The process can be seen in our video entirely so as
well as in detail, at the end of the instructions.

Step 4. Unscrew the screws

Using a screwdriver (Phillips 1.5 mm PH000),

unscrew 14 screws.
ℹ Be sure to note the location of the screws before
disassembling. When assembling the device,
screwing the screw in the wrong place may
damage the device or its part. To avoid damage,
the removed screws and individual pieces (as
gaskets or brackets) must be laid out in the
appropriate order, or the screws and their holes in
the phone must be marked with colored markers.

Step 5. Disconnect the connectors

Disconnect the connector of the buttons of the

power and volume -/+ cable, remove the middle
cover with antennas, and loudspeaker.
ℹ On the cover, you can see the metalized coating
on the plastic in the form of tracks and contact
pads. These are Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS
antennas.
⚠ It is crucial while reassembling, checking the
spring contacts on the board, and the contact
pads on the cover match and touch. Otherwise,
signal loss or signal may be quite weak.

Step 6. Disconnect the battery

connector

Disconnect the battery connector as soon as

possible.
ℹ The Samsung Galaxy M31s SM-M317 model has a
battery EB-BM317ABY with 6000 mAh capacity (aka
rechargeable battery).
⚠ It is highly recommended to disconnect the
connector to avoid possible short circuits during
disassembly.
Also, try not to use a metal tool to disconnect the
rechargeable battery connector or do it carefully.

Step 7. Remove the inter-board cable

Carefully, preferably from the edge, disconnect the

connectors and remove the inter-board cable
connecting the mainboard to the daughterboard
(also known as the sub-board).
⚠ Be careful when removing the cables from the
connectors, the cables are pretty thin, and it is
easy enough to break them or damage the contact
tracks inside.
ℹ An arrow on the FFC cable (flexible flat cable)
indicates its correct position.

Step 8. Unscrew one screw

Using a screwdriver (Phillips 1.5 mm PH000),

unscrew one screw securing the daughterboard.

Step 9. Disconnect the connectors

Disconnect the coaxial cable connector, inter-

board sub-screen cable on the daughterboard.
⚠ Do not pull on the cable or pry it with a sharp
tool, the connectors are pretty weak and break
easily, or the cable falls out of the end (lug).

Step 10. Remove the daughterboard

Remove the sub-board. It is glued to the frame

with metalized tape, so to facilitate the process,
the board can be heated a bit.
ℹ The board contains a charging port (Micro-USB),
microphone, spring contacts for the speaker, and
an antenna unit.
⚠ It is not necessary to insert the tool under the
board when removing the sub-board. Internal
components could be damaged.

Step 11. Remove the cameras

Disconnect the connectors and remove two rear

cameras and one front (selfie) camera.

Step 12. Unscrew one screw

Using a screwdriver (Phillips 1.5 mm PH000),

unscrew one screw.
ℹ Be sure to note the location of the screws before
disassembling. When assembling the device,
screwing the screw in the wrong place may
damage the device or its part. To avoid damage,
the removed screws and individual pieces (as
gaskets or brackets) must be laid out in the
appropriate order, or the screws and their holes in
the phone must be marked with colored markers.

Step 13. Disconnect the connector

Disconnect the coaxial cable connector.

Step 14. Remove the motherboard

Carefully remove the printed circuit board. There is

no need to use a lever or try to reach the board by
force. Make sure that nothing is getting in the way
or holding the board.
⚠ Do not bend the circuit board when removing
it or push tools under it. Unbeknownst to yourself,
you can damage components or cables from the
inside.

Step 15. Remove the cameras

Disconnect the connectors and remove two rear

cameras.
