Use this guide to remove a broken or defective screen in your the Huawei Honor 10.

Before disassembling your phone, discharge the battery below 25%. The battery can catch fire and/or explode if accidentally punctured, but the chances of that happening are much lower if discharged.

Note: This guide instructs you to replace only the screen while leaving the original frame and motherboard in place. However, some replacement screens for this phone come pre-installed in a new frame (a.k.a. chassis), which requires a very different procedure. Make sure you have the correct part before starting this guide.

You’ll need replacement adhesive to reattach components when reassembling the device.

    • Before you begin, switch off your phone.

    • Apply a heated iOpener to a long edge of the phone to loosen the adhesive beneath the rear glass. Apply the iOpener for at least two minutes.

    • If the phone's rear glass is cracked, the suction cup may not stick. Try lifting it with strong tape, or superglue the suction cup in place and allow it to cure so you can proceed.

    • Press a suction cup onto the back cover.

    • Lift the back cover's right edge with your suction cup, opening a slight gap between the back cover and the frame.

    • Insert the tip of an opening pick in the gap you created and slide it to the bottom right corner.

    • Apply more heat if the adhesive becomes hard to cut. During the removal process, the back cover is under tension all the time and is likely to break if the adhesive isn't softened enough.

    • Insert a second opening pick at the bottom right corner of the rear glass.

    • Slide the opening pick along the bottom edge of the rear glass to cut the adhesive and leave it in the bottom left corner.

    • Insert a third opening pick at the bottom left corner of the rear glass.

    • Slide the opening pick along the left edge of the rear glass to cut the adhesive.

    • Leave the opening pick at the top left corner of the rear glass.

    • There's a little bit of adhesive under the loudspeaker. It's possible to remove the loudspeaker without heating the adhesive but if you're having a hard time removing it, you can use an iOpener to soften the adhesive.

    • Slide the flat end of a spudger under the right side of the loudspeaker unit.

    • Pry up the loudspeaker unit until you can get a good grip.

    • Remove the loudspeaker unit.

    • Apply a heated iOpener to the screen to loosen the adhesive beneath. Apply the iOpener for at least two minutes.

    • You might need to reheat and reapply the iOpener several times during the removal procedure to keep the adhesive warm enough to cut.

    • Once the screen is warm to the touch, apply a suction cup near the top edge of the phone right under the earpiece speaker.

    • If the phone's screen is cracked, the suction cup may not stick. Try lifting it with strong tape, or superglue the suction cup in place and allow it to cure so you can proceed.

    • Only insert the tip of the opening pick under the screen (about 1/8 of an inch) to prevent damage to components underneath, such as the front facing camera and the earpiece speaker.

    • Pull up the suction cup, and insert the tip of an opening pick under the display where the earpiece speaker is located.

    • Slide the opening pick to the top right corner of the phone to cut the adhesive.

    • While cutting, make sure the pick slides under the display panel and not just between the display and the front glass.

    • Slide the opening pick from the top right corner down the edge of the phone to cut the adhesive.

    • Leave the opening pick at the bottom right corner of the screen to keep the adhesive from resealing

    • Slide the opening pick from the top left corner down the edge of the phone to cut the remaining adhesive.

    • Try not to remove the display all the way yet. The home button and display flex cables are still threaded through the midframe.

    • Make sure the flex cable does not stick to the frame and carefully thread it through its gap.

    • Remove the screen.

    • Remove any remaining adhesive from the midframe, and clean the glued areas with isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth.

Abschluss

If possible, turn on your phone and test your repair before installing new adhesive and resealing the phone.

The best way to secure the new screen is with a sheet of custom-cut double-sided tape. Apply the tape to the back of the screen, then carefully feed the display cable through the frame. Align the screen and press it into place.

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

Take your e-waste to an R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler.

Hi I decided to fix my Honor 10 lite. The pictures you show are absolutely nothing like the Honor 10 lite I have in front of me. Please could you provide some strip down pictures of what SHOULD be shown

mike hares -

Good afternoon, if you sent a message to me, then I have not added these images to the current site database.

I only made a text translation into Russian.

Hi Mike,

this is not the display guide for the Honor 10 Lite but the Honor 10. The build of these phones is sadly not the same.
