    Pour ma part le Huawei P8 que j’ai démonté comprenait des vis T3 et non P2 ainsi qu’un port micro USB et non USB type C.

Is there any difference on screen frame between GRA-L09 and GRA-TL10??? The l09 is the single sim and the TL10 is the dual sim…

Rafail Petridis -

installing a new screen the first time, i was looking at darkness. then, taking it apart again and taking away the protective foil on the back of the screen, it just showed pink/purple colors and started heating up pretty bad around the charging connector. my idea would be a short circuit. any idea what is going wrong and can this still be saved?
