Heads up! Once you pop open your device, that nifty IP certification (your shield against dust and water) will take a little vacation. So, keep that in mind while you work your magic!
In this fun and informative photo guide, we’ll walk you through the simple steps to swap out your battery like a pro. Let’s get started!
Step 1
Before diving into the repair of your Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC, take a moment to run through our handy checklist to test the essential functions. This will help you see if your repair efforts hit the mark afterwards!
– Give that power button a good press and hold until the Power Off menu pops up on your screen.
– Now, just tap on Power off in the menu that appears. Your smartphone will gracefully shut down in just a few moments.
Step 2
– Grab a slim, pointy object and gently poke it into the tiny round hole next to the SIM tray to nudge it out of the device. A SIM tool works wonders for this task!
– Once you’ve got it moving, just pull the tray all the way out of the frame.

Step 3
The back cover is glued down pretty well, so let’s give it a warm welcome! Start by heating it up thoroughly. A hot air device like a heat gun or even your trusty hair dryer will do the trick. Just remember, a little warmth goes a long way!
– Warm up the edges of the back cover by smoothly gliding the hot air tool along it.

Step 4
To create a snug little opening between the back cover and the display unit, grab yourself a flat, stable tool. We suggest the iFlex for this task, as its sharp edges make it a breeze to slide in.
– Attach a suction cup to the lower edge of the back cover and pull it upwards. Insert the iFlex between the display unit and the back cover at the same time.

Step 5
– Gently glide that tool all the way around the back cover’s edge, loosening it bit by bit like a pro.
– Slip those flat picks under the back cover at even intervals to keep that pesky glue from sticking again.
Take it easy when you’re loosening the screws near the camera module – we wouldn’t want your tool to accidentally give it a little bump!
To keep your device’s case looking sharp and avoid any nicks from the iFlex’s pointy edges, make the switch to a plastic buddy like the iPlastix as soon as you can. It’s a smooth move that your device will thank you for!

8 × 3.3 mm Phillips
We suggest using a screw storage solution to keep all your little bits and pieces organized during the repair. That way, you won’t misplace anything along the way! A great option is our top-notch magnetic pad.
– Let’s get those 17 Phillips screws out of the middle frame! You’ve got this!
– Once you’ve done that, be sure to stash them safely on the magnetic pad. They’ll thank you later!
Step 7
– Gently slide a flat plectrum between the screen unit and the middle frame, applying a little pressure. Starting on one of the longer sides of the frame works best!
– Run that pick all the way around the frame. You should hear a satisfying pop as it separates from the screen unit.
– Carefully unfold the now-loosened middle frame and reveal the magic inside!
Take it easy when you’re unfolding that middle frame! We want to keep that fingerprint sensor safe and sound, so handle it with care!
The middle frame is snugly attached to the screen unit, so you’ll need to gently unhook it. Take your time, and remember, if you need help, you can always schedule a repair.

The battery is snugly secured within the screen unit by a sleek, continuous adhesive film. On the underside of this film, you’ll find the sticky surfaces doing their job. Meanwhile, the three tabs of this adhesive film hang out on the top side of the battery, just waiting for you to give them a little tug!
Step 12
– Start by warming up that adhesive film! Just glide a hot air device over it evenly to get things nice and toasty.
– Next, grab a sturdy, flat tool like a steel spatula and gently slide it underneath the adhesive film. Take your time and peel it away piece by piece from the bottom of the screen unit.

Hey there! Make sure that the middle frame is sitting nice and even all around. If it’s sticking out in some spots, just loosen it up a bit and double-check that everything is in place and no pesky flex cables are getting pinched. You’re doing great!
– Now that you’ve connected the battery and fingerprint sensor connectors, it’s time to gently fold down that middle frame. You’ve got this!

Remember, if you need help, you can always schedule a repair.
