  1. Xiaomi Mi 10 Battery Replacement, Heat the rear glass: crwdns2935265:01crwdnd2935265:01crwdnd2935265:01crwdne2935265:0
    • Before you begin, switch off your phone.

    • Apply a heated iOpener to the back of the phone to loosen the adhesive beneath the back cover. Apply the iOpener for at least two minutes.

  2. Xiaomi Mi 10 Battery Replacement, Insert the iFlex: crwdns2935265:02crwdnd2935265:01crwdnd2935265:02crwdne2935265:0 Xiaomi Mi 10 Battery Replacement, Insert the iFlex: crwdns2935265:02crwdnd2935265:02crwdnd2935265:02crwdne2935265:0
    • Secure a suction handle to the bottom of the rear glass, as close to the edge as possible.

    • If the phone's rear glass is cracked, the suction handle may not stick. Try lifting it with strong tape, or superglue the suction handle in place and allow it to cure so you can proceed.

    • Lift the rear glass with the suction handle to create a small gap between the glass and the frame.

    • The rear glass of the Xiaomi Mi 10 sits tightly in place. In order to create a gap that is big enough to insert an opening pick, you need to insert an iFlex first.

    • Insert the iFlex into the gap and leave it in place to prevent the adhesive from resealing.

  3. Xiaomi Mi 10 Battery Replacement, Begin to slice the adhesive: crwdns2935265:03crwdnd2935265:01crwdnd2935265:03crwdne2935265:0 Xiaomi Mi 10 Battery Replacement, Begin to slice the adhesive: crwdns2935265:03crwdnd2935265:02crwdnd2935265:03crwdne2935265:0 Xiaomi Mi 10 Battery Replacement, Begin to slice the adhesive: crwdns2935265:03crwdnd2935265:03crwdnd2935265:03crwdne2935265:0
    • Insert an opening pick into the gap you created with the iFlex.

    • Slide the opening pick to the bottom right corner.

    • At this point you can remove the iFlex from the phone.

    • If the adhesive becomes hard to cut, it has most likely cooled down. Use your iOpener to reheat it.

    • Insert a fourth opening pick under the top left corner of the rear glass.

    • Slide the opening pick along the top edge of the phone to cut the adhesive.

    • Leave the opening pick in the top right corner to prevent the adhesive from resealing.

    • Remove the rear glass.

    • During reassembly, this is a good point to power on your phone and test all functions before sealing it up. Be sure to power your phone back down completely before you continue working.

    • There is a small piece of protective copper foil underneath the NFC and charging coil assembly. Avoid damaging it during the following procedure.

    • Slide a plastic card or playing card underneath the NFC and charging coil assembly.

    Do I have to replace the detached adhesive in any way before resealing? or should I simply heat it up again and then close to use the same glue?

    This is useless. I'm sitting before my Xiaomi 10 5G and this compononent sticks together and I don't know what to do.

    And I'm certainly NOT RISKING to damage anything by just listening to this sloppy instruction.

    Thank You for absolutely nothing.

    Aleksandar Dejanovic - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

    So, I've made it and that what sticks together is the Copperband strip You see on the top.

    It is depressed in the center and that's where You have to separate it (relative) carefully.

    You could, albeit on Your own risk, use a siringe + fine needle filled with 99% Isopropanol and inject a small ammount above a pry tool while it is gently pushed against the glued point.

    The pry tool would also serve to support the direction where the Isopropanol flows.

    Aleksandar Dejanovic -

    the copper piece has broken, is there a way to replace it or does it not affect a problem? The smarphone for now work normally

    Best Regards

If possible, turn on your device and test your repair before installing new adhesive and resealing.

Secure the new battery with pre-cut adhesive or double-sided adhesive tape. In order to position it correctly, apply the new adhesive into the device at the places where the old adhesive was located, not directly onto the battery. Press the new battery firmly into place.

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order. Apply new adhesive where necessary after cleaning the relevant areas with isopropyl alcohol (>90%).

For optimal performance, calibrate your newly installed battery.

Take your e-waste to an R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler.
