Duration: 30 min.
Steps: 9 Steps
Ready to get your Huawei P9 Lite singing again? In this guide, we’ll walk you through replacing that pesky faulty speaker all by yourself! If your phone’s music sounds like a whisper or your ringtone is as quiet as a mouse when someone calls, this repair is just the ticket. Let’s bring back the beats!
Step 1
– Give that standby button a good press and hold until you see the shutdown dialog pop up on your screen.
– Go ahead and tap to confirm your choice.
Step 2
– Grab that suction cup and place it a bit lower on the back cover. Give it a good pull to lift that cover off!
– Next, slide the pick between the display unit and the back cover, and gently pry them apart.
– Now, let’s tackle those pesky back cover clips! Work your way around the device, releasing each clip. If one doesn’t budge, don’t sweat it—grab a second pick or give it a little extra tug with your fingers.
– Heads up! The back cover is stuck to the fingerprint sensor. A little heat from a heat gun can help soften that glue, making it easier to remove.
– Once all the clips are free, you’re ready to take off the back cover. Easy peasy!
Step 3
– First things first, let’s tackle those Phillips screws holding the cover in place. Unscrew them all and keep them safe—like little treasures!
– Now, give the cover a gentle lift. Just a little nudge!
– The cover is snugly clipped in place—once near the camera and once on the side. With a delicate touch, wiggle the cover to pop those clips free, then swing it open like a door to new adventures.
– Grab your trusty spudger and carefully pry off the connector for the fingerprint sensor flex cable. Easy does it!
– Next up, it’s time to remove the NFC antenna’s glued contact. If it’s being stubborn, warm it up a bit with a heat gun, then use a spatula to coax it off gently.
