How to Select the Best Tools for the Repair
Step 1: Opening the Galaxy S20+
Before starting, power off your phone completely and remove the SIM tray. This is important to avoid any short circuits during the repair. Have your tools ready — full list is in the description.
Step 2: Removing the Back Cover
To remove the back cover, gently heat the edges to soften the adhesive. We are using a heating pad, but a heat gun or hairdryer works too. Once heated, use a suction cup to create a small gap between the frame and the rear cover. Insert a plastic pry tool and carefully cut the adhesive all around. Lift the back cover slowly to avoid cracking it.

Step 3: Removing the Not Working Wireless Pad
Once the back cover is removed, locate the wireless charging pad. Disconnect its connector carefully and lift the pad from the body. Check for any loose screws or adhesive that might still hold it in place.
Step 4: Placing the New Wireless Pad
Take the new wireless charging pad and place it in the exact position of the old one. Connect the flex cable firmly and ensure it sits flat on the phone’s body. Double-check that there is no obstruction and the connectors are properly aligned.
Step 5: Closing & Back Cover Installation
Before sealing the phone, check the back cover adhesive. If the glue is weak, use B7000 glue or a new double-sided adhesive. Place the back cover carefully on the frame, press around the edges, and secure it using screen binding clips or rubber bands while the glue cures. Leave it clamped for some time before powering on the phone.
Step 6: Final Check
Power on the phone and test wireless charging to confirm everything works correctly. Your Galaxy S20+ should now charge wirelessly without issues.
