Step-by-Step Screen Replacement

1. Turn Off the Phone and Remove the Back Cover

Turn off the Redmi Note 8 Pro before starting the repair.

Place the back cover side of the phone on a heating pad and select the mobile phone heating option. Allow the heating process to complete.

Alternatively, apply heat around the back cover edges using a heat gun or hair dryer.

Once the adhesive has softened sufficiently, use a suction cup to lift the back cover. Insert a plastic card or pry tool between the back cover and body and gently work around the phone to cut through the adhesive.

Remove the back cover.

2. Remove the Main Board Frame

Remove the main board frame by undoing its screws.

First, remove the camera lens and Touch ID assembly by removing the shield and disconnecting its plug.

Then undo the 10 screws and lift the frame using a pry tool.

3. Disconnect the Battery and LCD

Disconnect the battery plug and LCD plug from the logic board.

4. Test the New Screen

Before installing the new screen into the phone body, connect the replacement screen to the logic board.

Connect the new screen and battery plug and test the screen and its functionality.

Make sure the testing has passed before proceeding with the physical installation.

After testing, disconnect the LCD flex and battery plug and remove the new LCD from the phone.

5. Disconnect the Main Flex and Remove the Battery

Disconnect the main flex.

Remove the battery by peeling away the battery tapes.

6. Remove the SIM Tray

Remove the SIM tray before continuing with the internal disassembly.

7. Remove the Logic Board

Remove the logic board by undoing the relevant screw connections and disconnecting the antenna and proximity sensor.

8. Remove the Damaged LCD

Apply heat to soften the adhesive holding the LCD in place.

The procedure uses a heating pad to run the heating process. A heat gun or hair dryer can also be used as an alternative.

Once the adhesive has softened, apply gentle pressure from the rear side near the top camera opening to create a gap.

Insert a plastic card or similar pry tool into the gap and carefully work around the phone to separate the adhesive between the frame and LCD.

This process may take some time. Continue carefully until the old LCD can be removed.

9. Transfer the Screen Stop Bracket

After removing the old screen, take out the old screen stop bracket.

Place the bracket onto the frame using glue to secure it.

10. Install the New Screen

Apply B7000 glue or new pre-cut double-sided LCD adhesive around the frame edges.

Place the new screen into the frame, making sure the flex cable passes through the appropriate opening.

11. Secure the New Screen

Use binding clips or rubber bands to hold the screen tightly against the frame.

Leave it secured for some time to allow the adhesive to bond, then remove the clips or rubber bands.

12. Reinstall the Logic Board

Place the logic board back into position.

Secure the SIM tray and secure the board with the screw.

Reconnect the sensor plug.

13. Connect the LCD and Install the Battery

Connect the LCD screen plug to the board.

Place the battery back into the phone using adhesive to secure it.

14. Reconnect the Main Flex, Battery, and Antenna

Connect the main flex, battery, and antenna to the board.

15. Secure the Main Board Frame

Place the main board frame back into position and secure it with the 10 screws.

Reconnect the camera lens and Touch ID assembly and place the shield back into position.

16. Reinstall the Back Cover

Apply B7000 glue or new pre-cut double-sided adhesive to the back cover.

Place the main back cover onto the phone.

Use binding clips to hold the back cover and LCD firmly against the phone body while the adhesive sets.

If binding clips are unavailable, rubber bands can be used instead. Leave them in place for some time before removing them.
