Overview
What this part is
The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 screen plugs into a tiny FPC socket soldered to the main board. If the screen flex is pushed in at an angle or the phone is dropped, the socket can crack or its pins can bend or lift. The phone may then show no picture, flicker or have dead touch, even with a new screen fitted.
This part is the connector only, not a flex cable. Fitting it means removing the old socket with hot air and soldering the new one in place, so it is a job for a micro-soldering technician. Check the photos to confirm the connector size matches your board.

Professional installation
How a technician fits this part
- Power the phone off and remove the SIM tray.
- Warm the back cover evenly to soften the adhesive, then lift it off carefully.
- Remove the screws and inner panel, then disconnect the battery before touching any other connector.
- Remove the main board and fix it in a board holder.
- Remove the damaged socket with hot air, clean the pads and solder the new connector with the correct alignment.
- Check the pins under magnification, refit the board, connect the screen and test before closing.
Check that the part matches the device before fitting it or removing any adhesive backing. Once a part has been fitted, it cannot be returned for a change of mind. Faulty parts are always covered.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Will this fit my Galaxy Note 20?
Yes, if Settings › About phone shows Galaxy Note 20 (model SM-N980F or SM-N981B). It does not fit the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, Note 10+, S20.
Does it fit the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra?
No. The Note 20 Ultra is a larger phone with different internal parts. Only order this for the standard Galaxy Note 20.
Is this a flex cable?
No. It is the small socket that sits on the main board. The screen's own flex cable plugs into it. It has to be soldered on.
Is it made by Samsung?
No. It is a brand new, OEM-quality display FPC connector made to fit the Samsung Galaxy Note 20, and it is tested before dispatch.
Should I fit it myself?
We recommend professional installation. This connector is soldered to the main board, so it needs hot air, a microscope and micro-soldering skills.
