Which one do you have? All you have to do if you bought the official. cover is snap the old one off, and snap the new one in. If you bought just a "pad", then you have to stick it in a way so that the gold contacts come in contact with the ones on the phone (stick it over the battery).

XDA, Check these two pictures. Some times the Tab on the receiving pad needs to be slightly bent to assure best contact with the pins on the phone.

When you lay it on the Charging pad the LED sould go Green and you immediately get a musical tone with a popup saying "Wireless Charging."

Bottom line if this doesn't work Thoth is good about replacements.

Does the 2 contact pins stay in place after you place it in the slots? On mine I press it down but it doesn't stay snap in.

    Use the attach function and pick from your gallery. Or upload it to imgur or something.
