Use this guide to replace a cracked or broken screen on your Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro.
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.
If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions. Before disassembling your device, discharge the battery below 25%. 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 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 the rear glass when reassembling the device. Your device will function normally, but will most likely lose its IP (Ingress Protection) rating.

Prepare an iOpener and apply it to the rear glass for at least two minutes to loosen the adhesive underneath.
-
-
-
Secure a suction handle to the bottom edge of the rear glass, as close to the edge as possible.

Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the seventeen 3.6 mm-long screws securing the midframe.
For the Redmi Note 11, you need to remove the camera cover and get access to 2 extra screws. One of them is already partially visible, the other is under the camera housing.
Once you remove the camera housing, you also get access to the midframe connector, so use a pry tool to disconnect it.

If possible, turn on your device and test your repair before installing new adhesive and resealing.
Compare your new replacement part to the original part—you may need to transfer remaining components or remove adhesive backings from the new part before installing.
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
The best way to secure the new screen is to apply a sheet of custom-cut double-sided tape to the back of the screen.
Take your e-waste to an R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler.
Repair didn’t go as planned? Try some basic troubleshooting, or ask our Answers community for help.

I used this guide to replace screen on non-Pro version and it worked fine. Thank you!
This really helped me replace a screen for the regular redmi note 11.
Habe mein Note 11s mithilfe dieser Anleitung als Referenz wieder nutzbar gemacht :)
Hat zwar nun nur noch VGA Display anstatt Amoled - aber als Fahrrad-Navigation oder Notfall-Ersatz-Gerät wird es ausreichend sein.
Ich bin zumindest froh dass es wieder nutzbar ist.
Danke für die Anleitung und Übersetzung.
PS: beim 11s ist eine Schraube weniger verbaut und das Layout der Schrauben geringfügig anders.
Zwei. Der Schrauben verstecken sich unter dem Kamerglaskörper der Separat vom Rahmen genommen werden muss (das 11s hat eine Kunststoffrückseite)
For my non-pro Note 11 I bought the replacement screen that comes with a l frame because I thought it must be easier to replace, but apparently there's no guide for that procedure. It says here that it's a very different process, so I'm hesitant to try. Any pointers you can give me to good instructions for that?
Did you find something? I just bought a replacement screen with frame for my non-pro Note 11S. Once it's here I'm just going to try using this guide, unless there's something better available somewhere? I've only skimmed the guide now, will wait for the display to arrive before taking a closer look.
So I successfully replaced the screen of my non-pro Note 11S yesterday with a replacement screen already attached to a frame by more or less following this guide.
In "***Step 9*** Unfasten the midframe screws" I needed to unfasten all visible screws, then pry up the camera protection, because there were two more screws underneath there, which I also took out at this stage.
In "***Step 18*** Disconnect the battery cables" only one battery cable needs to be disconnected, because there exists only one on my model.
In "***Step 23*** Disconnect the interconnect cable" also the screen cable needs to be disconnected to fully free the charging board. After prying it up and removing it I no longer followed this guide, because the rest is about separating screen and frame.
Instead, the battery, mainboard, interconnect flex cable and I think two or three other smaller components now need to be transferred to the new frame attached to the new screen. So I would say definitely a different procedure, but perfectly doable with this guide.
Disadvantages of using screen with attached frame:
The transfer of the interconnect flex cable introduces a certain risk of breaking it - thankfully it worked for me, but this risk is not there when reusing the old screen frame. Also the battery transfer means having to take out the original battery adhesive. I didn't have any replacement, so I just reused it, but this is obviously not ideal. This also applies to some minor components, I just didn't use any adhesive at all for those during reassembly, which should be fine, I think.
Between the mainboard and the screen frame there was some thermal paste. Not sure how important this is, I just reused the old one as best I could.
Advantages:
Steps 27 to 33 are not necessary, which means not having to go through heating the screen and slicing the adhesive and having to reapply this when assembling the phone again. So no risk of breaking anything regarding the front camera.
So probably it's a question of personal preference which approach is considered better.
Tiene la pantalla negra no sé por qué
