Introduction

In this guide we show you how to replace the vibration motor in your Huawei P10 Plus smartphone.

Use an iOpener to loosen the adhesive beneath the display, focusing on the upper and lower part of the display.
Use an opening pick, or iFlex, to separate the adhesive on all sides of the display.
To avoid damage to the display, do not push the tool too deeply into the phone.

There is a thin display cable between the screen and phone, be very careful not to rip it when opening the device.
Place a suction cup, or iSclack, on the upper portion of the phone and lift the display off the midframe.
Don't remove the display, the cable is trapped under a bracket screwed to the phone. You can flip the display to lay it down without straining the cable, or simply hold it in the next steps.

Remove the 3.3 mm-long Phillips screw securing the display flex connector bracket.

Open the metal bracket that covers the display flex cable.
Use a spudger to disconnect the display flex cable.
Remove the display.
When reassembling your phone replace old adhesive with double-sided tape or pre-cut adhesive strips.

Beim Zusammenbau kann man das Display gut mit flüssigem Handy-Klebegel einkleben z.B. T-8000 oder B-7000 (Zhanlida)

Where can I get a metal bracket and screw to buy?

Es sind nur 14 Kreuzschlitzschrauben #00, dabei ist die Kreuzschlitzschraube aus Schritt 3 bereits mitgezählt

Ja, war bei mir genauso. Schade dass ich den Kommentar erst jetzt lese. Die zweite Schaube unten Links (von links) ist keine Schraube.

Thanks for the note. We corrected it in the english version (our translators will soon catch up)

Remove the SIM card tray.
Use the pointed end of a spudger to pry out the mid frame until you can get a good grip.

Use a spudger to disconnect the headphone jack flex cable, the loudspeaker flex cable and the main flex cable.

Unplug both antenna cables with tweezers.
Carefully remove the headphone jack.
The headphone jack might be a little bit sticky. In case you're having trouble removing it, use an iOpener to loosen the adhesive.
