    • Switch off your phone.

    • Remove the two Pentalobe P2 screws at the bottom.

    • Remove the SIM card tray.

    Das Honor 9 hat an der Unterkante keine Schrauben.

    Wie ist das Honor 9 zu öffnen?

    Vielleicht beantwortet diese Anleitung deine Frage ;)

    Hi, my P10 does not have screws, just two tiny holes. Do I push in here to unfasten? Einar, Norway

    Hi Einar Ryvarden,

    in case you bought a used or refurbished phone, someone might have forgotten to put them back in. Since you have holes at the bottom edge next to the charging port this is likely. You can try to start with step 2 and see if you can lift the phone assembly (don’t forget to remove the SIM tray first). As far as I know there is no version of the regular Huawei P10 with no screws. However you there are none in the P10 lite and in the P10 plus, maybe one of the opening procedures for those phones might help you.

    • Insert a plastic opening tool between the display and the case starting at the bottom area of your phone.

    • Carefully pry the display with its parts out of the case.

    • Getting the prying tool in will require some effort, be careful not to slide the tool too much or you might slightly damage the housing.

    • After you pried out the bottom end, use the opening tool to open the clamps on both sides.

    Hi! I cannot find a way to insert the plastic opening tool. Any suggestions on how I can create a gap to start. Everything seems quit rigid.

    Also, where will I find your reply.

    Hi Lars, you might want to use a suction handle to lift the display and create a small gap to insert the plastic tool. If you don’t have a suction handle you can “build” a handle with tape that you stick onto the display in a shape similar to this —> __∏__ (also you may want to edit your post and remove your email address ;) )

    Hi,

    I’m stuck at this step for about two hours… There’s nothing I can do to open the case. Tried all kinds of opening tools and a suction handle. There is no gap at all between the display and the body. How can anything be inserted into a gap that practically does not exist? Please help.

    Mark Movshovich -

    Sorry to hear that. You could try and lift the display by using a suction cup and pull to create a small gap for a tool to get in.

    • Don't open the phone all the way, yet. The cable for the standby and volume buttons is still connected to the back cover.

    • Swing open the phone backwards.

    • Use a spudger to disconnect the power- and volume button flex cable.

    The cable is for the standby and volume buttons, not for the fingerprint sensor!

    Thanks JaL, of course it is.

    • The battery is glued in place with two adhesive strips. One with a pull tab and one without.

    • Peel out the adhesive strip which is placed beneath the battery by steadily pulling at the tab in a flat angle.

    • It is likely that the adhesive strip rips. In this case you can grab and twist it around a tweezers tip a couple of times and then continue.

    • Use an iOpener to loosen the remaining adhesive.

    It wasn’t easy to find the piece to pull. It was a black label, folded and stuck to the battery

    • Take care to not bend or puncture the battery.

    • Insert an opening pick or spudger beneath the battery and carefully pry it out.

    • Remove the battery.

    • When reassembling your phone, replace old adhesive with stretch release adhesive strips, double-sided tape, or pre-cut adhesive strips.

    • Never reinstall a battery that has been bent or damaged during removal.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order. When reassembling your phone apply new adhesive where it is necessary.

Thanks for posting this this give me new ideas.

Dave Dayanan -

Facile comme bonjour. Les outils que j'avais reçu avec la batterie étaient de piètre qualité, j'ai donc utilisé des mini-spatules utilisées pour lisser les joints en silicone, c'est pile la consistance voulue pour décoller le dos et la batterie, ni trop ferme ni trop souple.

lepisosteus74 -

Easy fix, thanks a lot.

Noé Barreau -

Excellent guide, was done in 20 minutes, thankyou!

Mog Kupo -

Eccellente guida peccato che una volta montata la nuova batteria in cellulare si sente che si accende la il display rimane buio, controllato connessioni ma sono tutte ok e display sempre spento, cosa può essere?

Per prima cosa puoi provare a controllare il cavo più a sinistra (quello del display). Accertati che non abbia qualche tipo di piega e che anche i piccoli pin dei contatti non siano piegati.

albertob -

stessa cosa, avete poi trovato soluzioni?

Andrea Melappioni -

Hello,

The battery seems connected but nothing appears on my screen.

Do you have any idea of where it comes from ?
