How to disassemble Huawei P50 Pro, Step 1/1

Step 1. Before disassembling!

âš ī¸ī¸ Before disassembling, do not forget to turn your phone off.

Step 2. Remove the tray

First, we need to remove the SIM card tray. For this, we're using a special tool.

Note that the tray is located at the bottom of the phone.

Step 3. Open the back cover

Next, we move on to heating the back cover. We're using a heating mat for this, but you can also use a hairdryer. Heat the back cover to approximately 70°C (160°F).

After 5 to 10 minutes, we can begin separating the back cover.

To loosen the adhesive, we use a thin plastic film. Gently insert it into the gap between the back cover and the mid-frame, and carefully slide it along the edge to cut through the adhesive.

Be especially careful around the camera area to avoid damaging the lenses.

Also, watch out around the side buttons, as there may be flex cables nearby.

Step 4. Protecting camera lenses

Before proceeding further, it’s a good idea to cover the camera lenses to protect them from dust or debris.

We use a special film for this.

Step 5. Unscrew one screw

Next, we start removing the screws at the top section. For this, we use a 1.5mm Phillips screwdriver (PH #000) to unscrew the first one.

Please note that this model uses screws of various sizes, so it's best to place them on a dedicated surface in a specific order to avoid mixing them up during reassembly.

Some of the screws can be hard to remove — keep that in mind.

We also recommend taking a photo of the screw layout — that's what we usually do.

Step 10. Open the cover

Once the last screw is out, we move on to disconnecting the top cover.

For this, it’s best to avoid using metal tools to prevent any short circuits on the motherboard.

As we can see, there's a connector that likely leads to NFC and wireless charging, and possibly the flash.

It's best to disconnect this before continuing.

Take your time — don’t force anything. It's important to find the plastic clips or locking points where the cover is held and gently unclip them.

â„šī¸ī¸ The Huawei P50 Pro JAD-LX9 model has a battery HB536479EFW with a capacity of 4360 mAh (also known as a rechargeable battery).

We can now also disconnect the flex cable leading to the charging port.

Make sure the coaxial cable isn’t in the way, and remove the board.

Lastly, we move on to removing the battery.

As is typical for Huawei, there are brown pull tabs that need to be peeled back — but they tear very easily.

Carefully fold the tabs back and pull the center tab to remove the battery.
