    • Insert a SIM card eject tool, a SIM eject bit, or a straightened paper clip into the hole on the SIM tray located at the left edge of the phone.

    • Press directly into the hole to eject the SIM card tray.

    • Remove the SIM card tray.

    • The back cover of the Redmi Note 9 is held in place by plastic clips and adhesive. It might require some force to release the plastic clips.

    • Prepare an iOpener and apply it to the back cover for at least two minutes to loosen the adhesive underneath.

    • A hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate may also be used, but be careful not to overheat the phone—the display and internal battery are both susceptible to heat damage.

    • Secure a suction handle to the bottom edge of the screen, as close to the edge as possible.

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

    • Lift the phone assembly with the suction handle to create a small gap between the assembly and the back cover.

    • In case you have trouble creating a gap, apply more heat to further soften the adhesive. Follow the iOpener instructions to avoid overheating.

    • Insert an opening pick in a steep angle into the gap you created. This might require some force.

    • Slide the opening pick to the bottom right corner to slice the adhesive and release the plastic clips holding the back cover in place.

    • Insert a second opening pick in a steep angle at the bottom edge of your phone.

    • Slide the opening pick to the bottom left corner to release the plastic clips and to slice the adhesive.

    • Leave the opening picks in place to prevent the adhesive from resealing.

    • If the adhesive becomes hard to cut, it has most likely cooled down. Use your iOpener to reheat it.

    • Insert a third opening pick in a steep angle at the bottom left corner of your phone.

    • Slide the opening pick along the left edge of your phone to release the plastic clips and slice the adhesive.

    • Leave the opening pick in the top left corner to prevent the adhesive from resealing.

    • Insert a fourth opening pick in a steep angle at the bottom right corner of your phone.

    • Slide the opening pick along the right edge of your phone to release the plastic clips and slice the adhesive.

    • Leave the opening pick in the top right corner to prevent the adhesive from resealing.

    • Do not try to separate the phone assembly from the back cover all the way yet, the fingerprint cable is still connected to the motherboard.

    • Flip your Redmi Note 9 over.

    • Avoid straining the fingerprint flex cable during the following procedure.

    • Carefully fold the back cover to the right side of the phone assembly like you would open a book from the back.

    • Slide the back cover underneath the phone assembly so that the phone assembly overlaps about one third of the back cover and the fingerprint cable is not strained.

    • Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the eleven 3.9 mm-long screws securing the motherboard cover.

Abschluss

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

Compare your new replacement part to the original part—you may need to transfer remaining components or remove adhesive backings from the new part before installing.

To reassemble your device, follow the above steps in reverse order.

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

Repair didn’t go as planned? Try some basic troubleshooting, or ask our Answers community for help.

Yesterday I completed replacing the loudspeaker for my note 9 using the instructions in this guide.

Although I had to reheat the i opener a few times I found it very useful to use a thermometer to check on the build up of heat in the phone.

Once I got the back off it was just a matter of following the instructions step by step.

I think the instructions are excellent!

Thank you!
