How to open the cover of an Honor or Huawei phone
There are two options - using a heated suction cup or a plastic key. Let's consider the technology of each of them so that you have the opportunity to choose the more suitable one.
How to transfer data from iPhone to Honor and Huawei completely: instructions
Method 1: plastic key
To remove the back cover from a Huawei or Honor phone using a plastic key:
- take the phone and hold it in your hand with the bottom facing you, screen down;
- Unscrew the bolts next to the input slot for the charger;
- remove the slot for SIM cards and memory cards;
- Carefully insert the pointed end of a plastic card between the screen and the body;
- Smoothly unravel the device along the seam.
Method 2: using a suction cup
For this option, you will need to buy a special suction cup in the store. It is used to replace the back cover of Honor or Huawei. The algorithm of actions is as follows:
- using a hair dryer (or any other device), heat the back side of the case;
- press the suction cup;
- you smoothly begin to pull it towards you;
- when a gap appears around the perimeter, insert a plastic card there and disconnect it.
Bottom line
Disassembling an iPhone 7 is quite doable on your own at home. It is important to perform all actions carefully and make the “correct” layout of the disassembled smartphone on the magnetic mat. And remember, the video was made for educational purposes. The authors of this manual do not bear any consequences for your actions. You carry out repairs at your own responsibility. If the above recommendations are not followed, the board in the iPhone may need to be replaced.
Disconnecting the display cable and antenna connector
It's time to disconnect the display cable and antenna connector. The module and the board are connected to each other using fasteners and a thin cable, thanks to which the image is displayed on the device. After removing the fasteners, be careful - in fact, the screen will remain on one wiring, so it should be removed extremely carefully. The method of prying with a fingernail is also effective, but the possibility of damage cannot be ruled out, so it is recommended to do this operation with tweezers. Just grab the base and pull up to separate any wire without any problems.
Having sorted out the connections, we move on to the antenna connector, which is usually located at the bottom (especially for Lenovo devices). It is secured either with screws or small fasteners. Be careful with the fasteners; most likely, they are tightly attached to the board. It is recommended to unfasten it with a toothpick.
iPhone repair tools
For diagnostics and repairs, we will need the following tools and consumables:
- 3uTools
- USB tester
- silicone mat
- magnetic mat
- Pentalobe screwdriver 0.8
- Phillips screwdriver 1.5
- three-beam screwdriver 0.6
- screwdriver for support screw
- separator for sticking display modules
- magnetizer
- Quanli plate
- mediator
- plastic spatula
- tweezers
- technical gasoline “BR-2”
- medical alcohol
- double-sided tape 3-M
Algorithm of actions
First, inspect your smartphone. At its upper end, to the right of the micro-USB connector, you will see a small recess, as if created so that the cover can be pryed off. Carefully insert your fingernail into this recess and slide it to the left, going along the part where the plastic case fits snugly against the glass of the smartphone display. If you are unable to do this, while moving along the body with your free hand, lightly squeeze it on the sides so that the plastic bends and makes it possible to open the lid. Next, carefully run your fingernail along the entire perimeter of the smartphone several times, thereby opening the cover of the device. The plastic panel may crack slightly when opening, and there is no need to worry - this is normal. Open the lid of the BQs 5020 Strike once, and you will easily do this operation again and again in the future.
Disconnecting the old display
Now you need to disconnect the display:
- Using a Phillips screwdriver of the appropriate size (or a knife and a plastic card), we unscrew everything that can be unscrewed, and then remove the monitor.
- We turn the mobile phone over and carefully examine the screen. If there is a small free space at the edges of the device, run a toothpick or needle along the edge.
- Next, take a suction cup and attach it to the glass. If you have a removal tool, use it to pry up the free space between the edges and the glass, and then remove it.
Most screens can be removed this way. However, if it is difficult to remove even with a tool, most likely the module is glued to the body and needs to be heated with a hairdryer for some time, and then you should try the method above again.
iPhone 7 display replacement
Let's start disassembling the display module:
- unscrew the screws securing the Home button cable
- disconnect the button with the fingerprint scanner from the display module and notice how the button is removed from the display.
- unscrew the front camera cable clamp
- carefully bend the FCAM cable without bending it and remove the earpiece speaker by first unscrewing the two screws
- then we remove the front camera cable itself; if the display module has not been disassembled before, we use a separator, remember that the sensors can be very easily damaged and, as a result, the FCAM must be replaced
- if you need to replace the earpiece mesh, unscrew the screw that secures the mesh to the module and peel off the mesh itself
- unscrew the screws around the perimeter of the metal plate and carefully peel off the cables and remove the plate to the side
- The display module is completely disassembled
