S23 Ultra Battery Replacement Back Cover Re-seal
Hello! Question- I recently replaced the battery on my Galaxy S23 Ultra (SM-S918U), and it works great. The issue I'm having is that the back cover won't completely re-seal, meaning there is a gap between the back glass and frame. Even after applying new adhesive and using clamps for multiple hours the issue still persists. The gap is very small- but large enough to stick a finger nail in if you really tried.
The replacement battery I ordered came from a seller on eBay, and like I said, I'm having no issues in terms of it actually working. My guess is that the new battery may be slightly thicker for whatever reason (despite having the same exact model? The only difference visibly is the text is organized differently on the battery itself). Or, maybe it's the adhesive that came pre-installed on the battery. Either way, if any one has any experience with this issue and could chime in, I would really appreciate it!
