Introduction

This guide will help you replace the motherboard inside your Huawei P8 Lite.

Tools

Step 1

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

Wenn man langsam langsam arbeiten und vorsichtig ist, dann kein problem gibt es.Ich hätte keine Problemen zu öffnen.Das ist sehr leicht.

Step 2

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.

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.

Step 3

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 :)

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

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

Step 4

Remove the 4 black Torx T5 screws which hold down the lower part of the loudspeaker.
Remove the three silver Phillips #00 screws which hold down the upper part of the loudspeaker.

Step 5

Remove the loudspeaker carefully.

Step 6

Continue by removing the SIM and SD card trays on the side of the device.

Step 7

Remove the two Torx T5 screws. One may be cover with a liquid indicator.
Remove the five Phillips #000 screws.
Take away both securing brackets covering the motherboard.
If your phone has an NFC antenna, taking away the cover will automatically free its flex connector from the motherboard.
