Disassembly/Repair of the mobile device Huawei P30 Lite (Huawei P30 Lite MAR-L01A, MAR-L21A, MAR-LX1A (Europe); Huawei MAR-LX1M (Russia, South Africa); MAR-LX2 (Singapore, Hong Kong); MAR-L21MEA, MAR-L22A, MAR-L22B (Middle East); MAR-LX3A (LATAM)) with each step description and the required set of tools.

Use the ejection tool (aka Needle) or Paperclip. Push the tip all the way into the hole until the tray ejects, and then pull the tray of SIM and Memory card (Micro SD) out.

⚠️️ Pay attention! The tool must be inserted into a hole on the edge of the phone's housing. Do not press too hard. It may break the tray eject mechanism.

We recommend using a special heating device such as a separator machine, heat gun, or heating mat. It will simplify the process. You can use a home hairdryer, but you will have to make a nozzle by hand or have a suitable one in the kit to gently heat and concentrate the heat flow in the right place.

ℹ️️ The surface of the back cover must be heated to soften the adhesive underneath. The approximate heating temperature is 50° C / 125° F.

Use a thin plastic film or pick for separation. To facilitate the process, you can use isopropyl alcohol. It is often the most difficult to pass the tool between the parts to be divided. Choose the far edge from the FFC cables or buttons.

Do not use a lever or any force for separation that could damage the elements inside.

⚠️️ Pay attention to the fingerprint sensor cable! The cable connects the fingerprint sensor on the back cover to the motherboard.

Pry up the fingerprint sensor connector and remove the cover.

Using a screwdriver (Phillips 1.5 mm PH000), unscrew the three screws.

Using a screwdriver (Phillips 1.5 mm PH000), unscrew the seven screws.

Pry over the edges and remove the middle frame with a flat cable.

Remove the bracket hiding the connectors.

Disconnect the connector and remove the fingerprint sensor cable.

Peel off the protective film.

Disconnect the battery connector as soon as possible. It is better to use a non-metal or plastic tool to avoid any damage.

ℹ️️ The Huawei P30 Lite model has a battery HB356687ECW with 3240 mAh capacity (aka rechargeable battery).

⚠️️ It is highly recommended to disconnect the connector to avoid possible short circuits during disassembly.

Using a screwdriver (Phillips 1.5 mm PH000), unscrew the six screws.

Using a screwdriver (Phillips 1.5 mm PH000), unscrew one large screw.

Pry over the edge and remove the loudspeaker assembly with antennas and vibration motor.

Disconnect the coaxial cable connector, inter-board cable on the daughterboard.

⚠️️ Do not pull on the cable or pry it with a sharp tool, the connectors are pretty weak and break easily, or the cable falls out of the end (lug).

Remove the sub-board. It may be glued to the frame or attached with attachments like latches or hooks, so be careful.

ℹ️️ The sub-board contains a charging port (Micro-USB), microphone, headphone jack, spring contacts for the speaker, and an antenna unit.

⚠️️ It is not necessary to insert the tool underneath when removing the sub-board. Internal components could be damaged.

Disconnect the connectors and remove the assembly of three rear cameras and one front (selfie) camera.

Pry up the connector of the display module cable, inter-board cable, and coaxial cable.

⚠️️ Be careful when removing the cables from the connectors, the cables are pretty thin, and it is easy enough to break them or damage the contact tracks inside.

Carefully remove the printed circuit board. There is no need to use a lever or try to reach the circuit board by force. Make sure that nothing is getting in the way or holding the circuit board.

The motherboard, also, may be attached with attachments like latches or hooks, be careful.

⚠️️ Do not bend the circuit board when removing it or push tools under it. Unbeknownst to yourself, you can damage components or cables from the inside.

ℹ️️ In the display frame remained: the earpiece speaker, battery, coaxial cable.
