Before You Begin
- Ensure your smartphone is powered off before attempting to open it.
- Gather the necessary tools for the task, including a small Phillips screwdriver, a suction cup, and a plastic opening tool.
- Take precautions to avoid static electricity by using an anti-static wrist strap or touching a grounded metal object before handling any internal components.
Removing the Back Cover
The back cover of the Huawei P Smart is not secured with screws or adhesive. Simply follow these steps to remove it:
- Insert your fingernail or a plastic opening tool into the small gap between the back cover and the rest of the device, preferably near the charging port.
- Gently work your way around the edges, applying slight pressure, to gradually release the clips holding the back cover in place.
- Once all the clips are released, carefully lift off the back cover.
Accessing Internal Components
After removing the back cover, you will gain access to the internal components of your Huawei P Smart. Here, we will guide you through opening the device further to reach certain elements.
Removing the Battery
- Locate the battery connector on the motherboard, usually marked as “BAT”.
- Use a plastic opening tool or your fingernail to lift the connector gently, disconnecting the battery from the motherboard.
- Once disconnected, you can safely remove the battery from its compartment.
Replacing the Display
If you need to replace the display due to damage or any other reason:
- Disconnect the battery as described in the previous section.
- Locate and remove the screws around the display’s frame using a small Phillips screwdriver.
- Use a suction cup to lift the display slightly, creating a small gap.
- Insert a plastic opening tool into the gap and carefully separate the display from the rest of the device.
