– Time to power down your device! Go ahead and press and hold that power button until the menu pops up. When you see the ‘Power off’ option, give it a tap, and just to be sure, tap it again to confirm. Easy peasy!

– Pop your SIM tool into the tiny hole on the tray to give it a little nudge and unlock it.

– Gently pull out the SIM tray and, if you’ve got them, take out the SIM and microSD cards too.

– Pop off those two screws hanging out at the bottom of your device! They’re the ones keeping the enclosure snug as a bug. Time to set them free!

– Start by placing the suction cup nice and low on the display, right where it says ‘Huawei’. If the glass is so cracked that the suction cup can’t seal, a little tape on the display can do wonders.

– Gently pull on the suction cup while you use the pick to nudge the back cover against the table. As soon as you spot a gap between the display and the enclosure, slide in that pick with care.

– Now, let’s work that pick along the edges to detach the display from the sides. Keep that suction cup gently pulling to help things along.

– Finally, disconnect the wide flexible flat cable that connects to the lower board from the motherboard. You’re almost there!

– Disconnect the connection, like a friend, from the motherboard.

– The control buttons have manners and don’t want to leave their home. Gently prod the steel spatula between the buttons and the frame. Start near one side as a gentleman.

– Then carry on to the other side, making sure not to disturb their tranquility.

– Remove the buttons, bowing out gracefully like a true friend.

– Reattach the control buttons to the frame, using those handy little tabs for perfect positioning. Just slide those tabs through the round holes in the buttons and you’re golden!

– Grab those two screws hanging out at the bottom edge of your device and screw them in to seal the deal!
