- Now you can remove the midframe.
Step 9 Disconnect the battery of the Samsung Galaxy A70

- To remove the adhesive from underneath your battery, raise the bottom of your phone and tilt it in the direction of the rear camera. It will allow the adhesive remover to spread out.
- It would help if you let the adhesive remover penetrate the battery adhesive for at least one minute.
- The soft-shelled lithium-ion batteries can leak dangerous chemicals, catch fire, or even explode if they are damaged. It is recommended that you do not use excessive force or pry at the battery with metal tools. While doing this, make sure that you don't deform the battery in any way.
- Place a piece of plastic underneath the bottom edge of the battery.
- Slide it carefully under the battery to loosen the adhesive.
