DIY Guide to Replace Huawei P8 Lite Screen

– Before diving into the repair adventure, make sure to power down your device. Just press and hold that standby button until the shutdown dialog pops up on your screen.

– Now, give that touchscreen a tap to confirm you’re ready to shut it down.

– Remove the two trays for the SIM and microSD cards from the enclosure by pressing a SIM Tool or paperclip into the little hole until the tray comes out. Then remove both trays and the cards.

– Gently pry off the back cover from the enclosure frame. It’s secured at several points, so you’ll need to work those hooks loose. Grab a pick and slide it between the back cover and the frame, and keep going until you’ve released it all the way around the device.

– Now, lift the back cover off your device with care.

– Let’s kick things off by unscrewing those seven little screws that are keeping the speaker snug in its spot. You’ll need 3 of those 2.7 mm PH00 Phillips screws and 4 of those 3.7 mm T5 Torx screws. Easy peasy!

– Once those screws are out of the way, gently lift the speaker out of your device. You’ve got this!

– First up, let’s tackle those three screws. Grab your trusty PH00 Phillips screwdriver and remove those 3 x 2.7 mm screws like a pro.

– Uh-oh! It looks like the battery has decided to make itself comfy in the enclosure. No worries! There’s a nifty black tab on the side of the battery just waiting for you to give it a gentle tug.

– Take a deep breath and pull on that tab slowly but surely. It’s got a stretchy adhesive strip that will come along for the ride. Keep going until you’ve freed the entire strip!
