How to Remove the Mainboard from Huawei P8 Lite Guide

– Alright, before we dive into the repair adventure, let’s 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 little tap to confirm the shutdown. Easy peasy!

– Pop out the two trays for the SIM and microSD cards from the device by gently pushing a SIM Tool or a paperclip into the tiny hole until the tray slides out. Once you’ve got them out, go ahead and remove both trays along with the cards. Easy peasy!

– Time to get started! Carefully pry the back cover away from the enclosure frame. You’ll see it’s hooked on at several points, so gently work a pick between the cover and the frame to release the hooks. Repeat this process all the way around your device.

– Now it’s time to remove the back cover. Take a deep breath and carefully lift it off. You got this!

– Time to tackle that pesky speaker! Start by unscrewing the seven screws that are keeping it cozy in there: you’ll need 3 of those 2.7 mm PH00 Phillips screws and 4 of the 3.7 mm T5 Torx screws. Grab your screwdriver and show them who’s boss!

– Once those screws are out, gently lift the speaker out of your device. You’re doing great!

– Now, with a little finesse, disconnect the battery contact from the PCB. Slide your tool underneath the contact and give it a gentle lift. Just be careful not to break anything on the board—it’s a delicate dance!

– Carefully hold the PCB between your thumb and finger, and then take it out with a smooth motion.

– Now, let’s get that larger cover back on! Ensure that the little cover and the big cover are snugly hooked together.

– Grab those seven screws and secure the covers to the enclosure. You’ll need 5 x 2.7 mm PH00 Phillips screws and 2 x 3.7 mm T5 Torx screws. You’ve got this!

– Gently connect the PCB to the display by pressing the display contact into the socket on the PCB until you hear that satisfying click.

– Now, let’s connect the battery contact in the same easy-peasy way.
