Steps: 38 Steps
Ready to give your P9 a fresh new look? This guide is here to take you through the steps of swapping out that pesky broken display. Whether it’s sporting a spiderweb of cracks, being unresponsive to your touch, or just stays black or starts the disco flicker – we’ve got you covered!
Step 1
– Time to power down your gadget! Hold down the power button until a menu pops up. Choose ‘Power off’ and give it another tap to confirm.
Step 2
– Pop your SIM tool into the tiny hole on the tray to give it a gentle nudge and unlock it.
– Carefully pull out the SIM tray and, if you’ve got them, take out the SIM and microSD cards too.

– Alrighty, let’s get this party started! Grab your trusty screwdriver and twist out those two little screws chilling at the bottom. They’re just hanging out there, keeping things together.
Step 4
Hey there, friendly fixer! Just a heads up: watch your hands during this step – broken glass can be a real troublemaker. Rock those gloves or stick some tape over the display for a little extra protection!
– Position the suction cup as low on the display as you can—try right where it says ‘Huawei.’ If the glass is so cracked that the suction cup just won’t stick, grab some tape to cover that display.
– Give the suction cup a gentle pull while using a pick to nudge the back cover against the table. Once you see a little gap forming between the display and the case, it’s time to delicately slide the pick in there.
– Now, let’s glide that pick along the edges to free up the display from the sides. Keep pulling gently on that suction cup.
– Time to carefully lift the display! Open your device from the short top edge like you’re flipping a book’s page. You should now be able to spot the connection cable.
– For the next step, let’s disconnect the cable from the motherboard. Use the spudger to gently slide it underneath the connector and disconnect it.

– Finally, carefully take out the camera from its cozy enclosure.
Step 7
– First, break up with your motherboard – unplug any connections.
– Next, those control buttons are sticking too close to the display frame. Grab your steel spatula and gently slide it between the stubborn buttons and the frame. Begin on one side and show ’em who’s boss.
– Once you’ve got one side loose, flaunt the same moves on the other side.
– Now, just whisk those buttons away. Ta-da!

– Peel the ends of these sticky strips off the battery, set yourself up for a smooth strip-pulling experience.
– Now, go for the grand strip pull! Tackle each strip one by one, keeping them as flat as possible and maintain a nice, even pace—steady hands win this race, and we don’t want any strip snaps!
Step 13
All right, take extra care here! Whip out your flattest, most harmless tool—think the dull end of a metal spatula—and gently coax that battery out without any drama.
– The lower edge of the battery is still holding on tight! Gently coax it up with your trusty steel spatula, then slide in the spudger for some extra help.
– Now, with the spudger in hand, keep prying it loose and work on that stubborn glue. You’ve got this!
