2 × 3,0mm Pentalob
Heads up! Huawei has decided to use Apple Pentalobe screws, which means you’ll need a Pentalobe PL1 screwdriver to get the job done. Just a friendly reminder: using a different screwdriver could lead to stripped screw heads, and nobody wants that mess! If you need help, you can always schedule a repair.
Step 4
Heads up! The display is still linked by a slim flex cable that handles the standby and volume buttons. So, tread carefully!
The display is not glued, but snap fitted on the long edges. It has positioning tabs on the top edge.
– Grab that suction cup and stick it right above the Home button on the display.
– Give the suction cup a good pull while using a pick to gently pry open a tiny gap between the case and the display.
– Carefully twist the pick to help pop off the display.
– Once you’ve got the display loose all around, just fold it open like a book!

Battery Connector
– Let’s get started by taking off the bracket that’s cozying up to the battery connector. You’ll find a screw on one side and a little tab on the other, so just give it a gentle nudge.
– Now, grab a plastic tool and carefully unplug that connector. You’ve got this!
Step 6

Step 8
Handle the battery with care—no bending or scratching the case, please! We want your device to shine like new.
– The battery is snugly glued to the case with two adhesive strips. One of these strips has a pull tab just waiting to be freed. Gently peel back the tab and give it a slow, steady pull to remove the strip. Make sure to pull it out flatly to avoid any ripping mishaps.
– Now it’s time to slide in a flat tool, like the iPlastix, from the side you just released.
– If you need help, you can always schedule a repair.
Step 9
Getting that battery out again might be a bit tricky since there’s no handy adhesive tab to pull on. But don’t sweat it! Just take your time and you’ll get it done. And remember, if you need help, you can always schedule a repair.
Got some adhesive tapes from an iPhone 5s/5c/SE? Perfect! They work like a charm for securing the Huawei P10 battery. Just a heads up, if the strips are a tad too long, feel free to trim them down a bit. You’re doing great!
Step 10
Make sure to leave some breathing room all around, and keep that connector comfy—no squeezing allowed!
– Slide the battery into the device and give it a gentle push until it clicks into place.

– Next up, let’s connect that large connector to the mainboard. It’s like giving it a high five!
– Pop on the bracket and ensure that the tab clicks into place. It’s all about that satisfying snap!
– Carefully position the antenna connector over its socket and give it a gentle press. It’ll feel right at home there.
– Now, place the flex cable with the arrow pointing upwards over the battery. Remember, arrows always point the right way!
– Time to secure the mainboard with those trusty Phillips screws. Tighten them up, but don’t go overboard!
– If you can, reattach the moisture indicator back onto the bracket screw. It’s like putting a little hat back on!
