Use this guide to replace a cracked or broken screen on your Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 5G.
If the frame is deformed, it's important to replace it to make sure the new screen will mount correctly and won’t suffer damage from uneven pressure.
Due to the device’s design, you must remove the lithium-ion battery to access the display cables. If the battery was deformed during removal replace it with a new one—reusing a deformed battery is a potential safety hazard.
If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions. For your safety, discharge your battery below 25% before disassembling your device. This reduces the risk of a dangerous thermal event if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair.
Note: This guide instructs you to replace only the screen while leaving the original frame and motherboard in place. However, some replacement screens for this phone come pre-installed in a new frame (a.k.a. chassis), which requires a very different procedure. Make sure you have the correct part before starting this guide.
You’ll need replacement adhesive to reattach components when reassembling the device.

Hi
I just did this and I had an issue with "don't cover earphone area". I realize that I can solve this by just switching off pocket mode but, that's a handy feature.
When I replaced the screen I had to use double sided sicky tape to stick the screen to the frame, can anyone tell me where the sensor is located, I intend to open it again and replace the double sided tape with phone adhesive.
Otherwise, super handy guide, thanks! Love this site for repairs. Complete, thorough, and the way every step is photographed and labelled.
Impeccable.
J'ai suivi de l'étape 1 à l'étape 37, tout s'est parfaitement déroulé, j'ai un écran tout neuf posé pour 0€ ( Sauf 20€ d'achat d'écran )
Merci
Thanks. Nice guide, well detailed.
Impeccable,
Malgré plusieurs vidéos sur YT, j'ai préféré voir ce tuto alors que je n'aime pas les tutos photos!!
Ça en dit long sur la qualité du tuto.
Juste un truc, j'ai le message qui dit que je doit pas caché le capteur de proximité alors qu'il n'y a rien. Je pense avoir oublié d'enlever un cache ou mal fixé le dit capteur.
Néanmoins, j'ai désactive dans les paramètres, puis dans écran de verrouillage (et non pas empreinte digitale, données faciale et verrouillage écran)le mode poche pour ne plus avoir le message.
Flemme de devoir re démonter !
Merci beaucoup
I have a digital heat gun, what temperature should I set it to, not to damage my phone battery and components.
