    • Use an Opening Tool and start to lever up the back cover of your Huawei P8 Lite at the bottom of your phone.

    El celular no tiene ese tipo de tapa es como sellada, que debo hacer para saber si es por la pila que no agarra carga porxa

    • There are clips around the whole mid frame, holding down the back cover. Open all of them with the Opening Tool.

    • When all clips are open, remove the back cover from the rest of the phone.

    • If the back cover doesn't come freely, there are probably some additional clips that need to be disconnected.

    The back panel is really really easy to brake, be careful :)

    In my mobile phone the back panel was kept in place also from 2 strips of bi-adhesive tape. Pull gently to detach it to remove the panel.

    right. it has 4 strips of adhesive tape

    To facilitate the detachment of these double-sided tapes, I recommend heating with a hairdryer along the edges of the back cover, especially at the four corners.

    • Use a tweezer to remove the warranty sticker which sits on a screw in the bottom right of your phone.

    The 4 screws wich hold down the lower part of the loudspeaker are Torx screws for me. But it's a French Huawei, doin' nothing like the others :)

    Christopher Hourlier -

    Die Wasserschadenindikatoren sitzen unter dem Mainboard. Bei den Aufklebern auf den TORX handelt es sich um Garantiesiegel.

    Danke für den Hinweis, wurde so übernommen.

    Bonjour, il vous faut un tournevis ou un embout cruciforme #00 pour dévisser une vis cruciforme #00. Bonne réparation !

    • Remove the 4 black Torx T5 screws which hold down the lower part of the loudspeaker.

    • Remove the three Phillips #00 screws that hold the metal plate in place.

    • Remove the metal plate with a tweezer.

    • Unplug the battery flex connector with a spudger.

    Theese Screws are quite hard to remove…

    • Carefully pry off the plastic cover on the left side. The NFC antenna contacts might be slightly glued to the cover.

    • Then remove the top cover.

    An der Linken Plastikabdeckung sind die Kontakte dran geklebt!

    EN: The lateral small plastic piece is sticked to the flex of the side buttons. Take care

    • Remove the volume and power button cable.

    • Take out the motherboard by lifting the bottom part first.

    • Pay attention to the cables, so they don't rip when staying stuck to the motherboard.

    • On the back of the motherboard there is a thermal pad (pink rubber-like gob) for heat dissipation. If this thermal pad broke or is too dried out you might want to replace it with a new one.

    • Changing the display can be done without removing the battery. But for safety reasons we recommend removing it as seen in the battery guide by pulling the adhesive tab and prying it out with a plastic card.

    • Heat up the top, bottom and both sides of the display with an iOpener to soften the adhesive.

    • Use an opening pick to get underneath the top right part of the display and loosen the adhesive.

    • Only with the very tip of the opening pick slide along the side of the display towards the bottom.

    • Loosen the adhesive underneath the complete lower part of the display.

    I made the mistake of trying to lift under the plastic edging. snapped the right side off before realising my mistake. Ensure you are levering under the actual screen and not plastic

    • Slowly but constantly lift the bottom part of the display to get underneath the screen and further loosen the adhesive.

    • Thread the cable through the midframe.

    • Open the display all the way and remove it from the midframe.

    • Make sure to test the new display and remove any old residue from the adhesive before reassembly.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order. Make sure to test the new display and remove any old residue from the adhesive.
