🔧 Repair Overview
Back Glass Replacement is one of the most common repairs for Samsung Galaxy A24. This repair involves replacing the damaged housing component with a new or refurbished part. The process typically takes 1-3 hours and requires difficult skill level.
What You'll Need
- Replacement housing part (OEM or aftermarket)
- Precision screwdriver set (Phillips #000 or pentalobe)
- Opening tools (plastic spudger, suction cup)

- Clean workspace with good lighting
Step-by-Step Process
Step 1:
Have the front of the device facing you.
Begin near one of the curved edges of the device (see photo two for visual example).
Place a plastic opening tool between the front and back panels.
If a plastic opening tool doesn’t work, using a metal spudger may work, but it may damage the plastic on the device.
Remember to remove the micro SD card (if present) before you begin.
Step 2:
Once the plastic opening tool is fully inserted, wedge it around the device’s edges to separate the panels.
Lift the back panel off of the device.
The back panel will make a clicking noise while being lifted off of the device.
