DIY Huawei Nova 3i | Huawei P Smart + 2018 Charging Port Repair Guide

Before Starting, we need to have the right tools to proceed with the repair, which you can find in the description.

Let’s start by removing the back cover and heating gently around the phone until the pasted adhesive becomes soft. For this, you can use a heat gun heat pad or hair dryer.

Carefully work around the edges, and once you feel the heating is enough, insert a plastic card pry tool and slowly cut the adhesive around.

In between, you can use a suction cup to lift the back cover. While you are taking out the back cover, be gentle. The touch ID sensor is attached to the back cover.

To unplug the touch, ID move the rear cover to the left-hand side and remove the metal shield by undoing two screws.

Unplug the connector and remove the back Cover. For charging port replacement, first, disconnect the battery connector, then it needs to take out the charge board protector frame on the bottom, and for this needs to undo six screws.

Apply a little heat to soften the adhesive on the charging board, and then, using a tweezer, lift it.

Replace the new charging board, make sure it sits in order, and connect the main flex cable connector and antenna.

Now add the charge port protector frame and insert all six screws back.

Also, do not forget to connect the battery plug.

Finally, we can add the main back cover with the touch id sensor. Connect the touch id and insert two screws with the metal shield.

Just make sure it has enough glue on it. If not, use b7000 glue or new double-sided back cover adhesive.
