Introduction
Use this guide to remove or replace a defective motherboard cover with NFC & charging coil in your Huawei P30 Pro.
Opening the Huawei P30 Pro will damage the waterproof sealing on the device. If you do not replace the adhesive seals, your phone will function normally but will lose its water-protection.
You’ll need replacement adhesive to reattach components when reassembling the device.

Before you begin, switch off your phone.
-
Apply a heated iOpener to the back of the phone to loosen the adhesive beneath the back cover. Apply the iOpener for at least two minutes.
-
-
-
Secure a suction handle to the bottom of the back cover, as close to the edge as possible.
-
Lift the back cover with the suction handle to create a small gap between the cover and the frame.

Insert an opening pick into the gap.
-
Slide the opening pick to the bottom right corner.

Hallo,
erstmal Super Anleitung. Danke dafür.
Ich hätte noch ein paar Fragen. Und zwar ist mein Backcover von meinem Huawei P30 pro nach einem Sturz gebrochen. Ist es möglich, es selber auszuwechseln und dabei den Spritzwasserschutz, sprich den Schutz Ip68 zu erhalten? Und wenn ja, welchen Kleber sollte ich dafür verwenden? Auch wüsste ich gerne, ob es vielleicht reicht die Risse mit dem Kleber zu versiegeln, so dass ich das Backcover gar nicht austauschen muss!?
Sonnige Grüße
Rafael
