Huawei P9 Lite Display Replacement

Use an opening pick to unclip the rear cover, starting from the bottom corner.

Work your way around counterclockwise and carefully pry the plastic tabs open one by one.

Twist the opening pick to lever the back cover away and loosen it from the adhesive.

When the back cover is freed from the adhesive you can pop it off by hand completely.

On the bottom of the phone remove the following screws:

Three 2.9 mm Phillips #00 screws

Four 3.8 mm Phillips #00 screws

Now you can grab the loudspeaker unit and take it out.

Remove the nine Phillips #00 screws that secure the metal shield plate.

Use a spudger to disconnect the fingerprint sensor from the motherboard.

Peel the NFC antenna cable off of the metal plate.

Disconnect the motherboard flex cable on both ends and take it away.

Peel off the NFC antenna from the battery.

Unplug the battery connector.

Slide the spudger under the battery at the place shown in the picture and pry it loose slowly.

When reassembling your phone replace old adhesive with double-sided tape or pre-cut adhesive strips.

Take the flat end of a spudger to disconnect the display flex cable.

Flip the phone over and use an iOpener to soften the adhesive at the edge of the display.

With a suction handle you can lift the display a little bit to create a gap.

Insert just the tip of an opening pick in the gap and steadily slide it along the edge towards the top. You may need to go back and forth a few times.

Try to get around the corner and behind the top part of the display. Re-position the suction handle if needed.

Leave the opening pick behind the display to avoid the re-sealing of the adhesive.

Heat up the iOpener once again and place it on the display to soften the adhesive at the top.

Use a second opening pick to slide along the top edge towards the next corner.

As long as the adhesive is warm try to continue to separate the display along the side towards the bottom. Re-heat the iOpener if necessary.

Also heat up the bottom part of the display for the next few steps.

When you worked your way around the display, take a suction handle and lift the top part of the display away from the frame.

Slowly but steadily hinge open the bottom part of the display separating the adhesive.

Now you can thread the display flex cable through the gap in the frame.
