Step-by-Step Xiaomi Redmi 10 Camera Lens Glass Replacement

Step 1: Power Off the Device

Turn off your Xiaomi Redmi 10 completely before starting the repair.

---

Step 2: Remove the Back Cover

Apply gentle heat around the edges of the back cover to soften the adhesive.
Use a suction cup and a plastic pry tool to carefully cut through the adhesive and remove the back cover from the body.

---

Step 3: Remove the Camera Lens Frame

Undo five screws securing the camera lens frame.
Lift the camera lens frame carefully and set it aside.

---

Step 4: Remove the Broken Camera Lens Glass

Apply heat to the camera lens area to loosen the adhesive.
Push the broken lens out gently from the rear side of the frame.

If the lens glass is shattered, carefully remove the pieces one by one using tweezers. Take extra care to avoid scratching the camera sensor.

---

Step 5: Clean the Camera Lens Area

Clean the surface thoroughly to remove old adhesive, dust, or glass fragments.
Ensure the area is completely clean before installing the new lens.

---

Step 6: Install the New Camera Lens Glass

Place the new camera lens glass into position using its pre-applied adhesive or additional glue if required.
Press firmly to ensure a proper seal.

Replacement Options:
You can choose a camera lens with frame or camera lens without frame.
Both versions are available, but a lens with frame can make installation easier.

---

Step 7: Reinstall the Camera Lens Frame

Place the camera lens frame back into position and secure it using five screws.

---

Step 8: Reinstall the Back Cover

Before installing the back cover, check if the adhesive is still strong.
If needed, apply B7000 glue or a new double-sided back cover adhesive.

Align the back cover carefully and press it into place.

---

Step 9: Secure the Back Cover

Use bonding clips or rubber bands to hold the back cover tightly against the frame.
Leave it secured for some time to allow the adhesive to cure properly.

---

Final Note

After completing the repair, test the camera before regular use to ensure there is no dust, blur, or light leakage affecting image quality.
Avoid applying pressure near the camera area until the adhesive is fully cured. Proper sealing will help protect the camera from future dust and moisture damage.
