Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Speaker (Service Pack)
Speaker for Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra (N985F), designed to replace a faulty or barely audible speaker, whether for calls or music. This part is supplied as a Service Pack: a new part, in original Samsung repair packaging, under manufacturer reference GH96-13602A which ensures its traceability. Nothing has been repaired or reconditioned, unlike a re-glued screen: it is the manufacturer's packaging itself that guarantees its authenticity. The shop provides it with a 2-year warranty, for a replacement without unpleasant surprises.
A crackling speaker or one that's lost volume?
On the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, a loss of volume, muffled sound or crackling towards the end of battery charging almost always points to the same component: the main speaker, located at the bottom of the housing. Dust, an impact or moisture ingress are enough to damage it, and no software setting can restore a physically damaged speaker.
Before ordering, check that the sound remains absent or distorted even after a restart and cleaning of the grille: a defect that persists confirms a hardware fault rather than simple dirt build-up.
What Service Pack quality changes
This part is an original manufacturer part, supplied as a Service Pack. Nothing has been repaired or re-glued: the component comes from the same production line as the one used during assembly, packaged in its Samsung repair packaging rather than that of a new device. It is this packaging that distinguishes it from a compatible part made by a third party, without however guaranteeing a different origin from that of a classic original speaker.
The manufacturer reference GH96-13602A is the one to check on the packaging before fitting: it precisely identifies this component for the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra.
Compatible with which model?
This part is made for the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra (N985F), only. The connector, location and mounting points are those of this model: incorrect positioning of the speaker, even by a millimetre, prevents the seal from being properly restored when the back cover is reassembled.
What's in the package
The package contains the speaker alone, ready to be connected to the motherboard. No screws, adhesive or disassembly tool are mentioned by the supplier: prepare the usual disassembly equipment (precision screwdriver, suction cup, spudgers) if you do not already have them.
Precautions during fitting
Replacement requires removing the back cover, originally glued with a sealing adhesive that will need to be replaced to preserve the device's water resistance. Always disconnect the battery before handling any ribbon cables, and avoid bending the speaker connector during removal: this is a frequent breakage point during this procedure.
A sound test before fully closing the housing allows you to confirm the part is working correctly without having to disassemble everything a second time in case of a defect.
Warranty
This part is covered by a 2-year warranty.
