Step-by-Step Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro Camera Lens Glass Replacement

Step 1: Power Off the Phone

Turn off your device completely and remove the SIM tray before starting.

---

Step 2: Heat and Open the Back Cover

Apply gentle heat around the edges of the rear cover to soften the adhesive. Place the back cover side down on a heating pad and select the mobile phone heating option, or use a heat gun or hair dryer.

---

Step 3: Lift the Back Cover

Use a suction cup to create a small gap and insert a plastic pry tool to cut the adhesive. Lift the back cover gently while disconnecting the fingerprint sensor flex cable.

---

Step 4: Remove Battery Bracket

Undo three screws, remove the bracket, and disconnect the battery connector.

---

Step 5: Remove the Back Cover

Once the battery and fingerprint connections are disconnected, lift the back cover completely off the phone.

---

Step 6: Remove Logic Board Bracket and Shield

Undo eight screws to remove the logic board bracket and the shield covering the camera module.

---

Step 7: Remove the Camera Lens Frame

Detach the camera lens frame from the camera module.

If replacing the lens with the frame, you can skip separating the lens and frame and start placing the new unit directly.

---

Step 8: Remove Broken Lens Glass

Apply heat gently to the lens frame and pull out the broken camera lens glass carefully.

---

Step 9: Install New Lens Glass

Place the new camera lens glass in the frame with adhesive. Ensure it sits flat and aligns with the camera module.

---

Step 10: Clip the Lens Frame on the Camera

Secure the camera lens frame back onto the camera module.

---

Step 11: Reinstall Shield and Bracket

Place the shield and logic board bracket back in position and secure with eight screws.

---

Step 12: Reconnect Fingerprint and Battery

Reconnect the fingerprint sensor flex cable and tape, then secure the battery connector with its bracket using three screws.

---

Step 13: Seal the Back Cover

Before installing the back cover, ensure sufficient adhesive. Apply B7000 glue or new double-sided back cover tape if needed. Press the cover firmly and use bonding clips or rubber bands until the adhesive sets.

---

Final Testing

After reassembly, test:

• Camera app functionality
• Rear camera focus and clarity
• Photo quality
• Fingerprint sensor operation

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I replace only the lens glass without the frame?

A: Yes. You can replace just the broken glass, but it requires careful handling and proper adhesive placement.

Q: Will this repair affect my phone data?

A: No. Replacing the camera lens glass does not impact stored data or apps.

Q: Do I need soldering to replace the lens glass?

A: No. The lens glass is installed with adhesive only; no soldering is required.

Q: How long does this repair take?

A: Around 20–30 minutes, depending on your experience.

Q: Will the new lens glass improve photo quality?

A: Yes. Installing a clear, scratch-free lens restores image clarity and eliminates dust or distortion caused by cracks.

Troubleshooting – After The Repair

Q: Camera shows blurry images after replacement. Why?

A: This usually happens if the lens glass is misaligned or has fingerprints/dust on it. Reopen the device and check alignment; clean the lens gently with a microfiber cloth.

Q: Lens glass falls out after installation. What to do?

A: Ensure you used sufficient adhesive and that it fully cures before using the phone. Applying bonding clips or rubber bands helps secure the back cover while glue sets.

Q: Fingerprint sensor not working after reassembly. Is it related?

A: The fingerprint sensor may not have been fully reconnected. Reseat the flex cable and test again.

Q: Back cover feels loose after repair. How to fix it?

A: Remove the back cover, clean old adhesive, and apply fresh B7000 glue or double-sided tape. Press firmly and leave clamps/rubber bands for proper adhesion.
