Huawei Honor 8, which is recognized as the most beautiful Huawei smartphone ever, was unveiled in July 11, 2016 in China and will release in Aug 18 in the US according to the media reports. Here we take a simple teardown guide to pre-show you how it looks like the internal work and how to do a DIY repair your own.
Repair Tools Needed:
Step 1 Power off the phone and remove the SIM card tray.
(Tips: in order to protect your screen, you’d better put a protective film on screen surface.)
Step 2 Remove battery cover
This Huawei Honor 8 battery cover is made from glass, and it is sticked tightly to the middle frame with lots of adhesives, which needs to be heated up for about 2minutes to melt the back cover sticker. Then use a suction cup separator to pull off the battery cover glass.
The back cover glass is connected to the motherboard with the fingerprint sensor flex cable, you’d better pry up the cover from the bottom in case you broken the flex cable.
Undo the Phillips screw and remove the metal bracket then you can disconnect the flex cable, so you can remove back cover glass now.
