HUAWEI MediaPad M5 lite Repair

Background on the MediaPad M5 Lite 10:

The MediaPad M5 Lite is a tablet running Android 8.0 Oreo and is not affected by the absence of the Google Play Store.

Equipped with a Kirin 659 processor with 3 or 4 GB of RAM and 32, 64, or 128 GB of storage, its performance is average for tablets of its time (Antutu score of 75,400). The display panel is a 10.1-inch Full HD IPS screen paired with four Harman Kardon speakers and, most notably, a fingerprint sensor on the central button of the screen. The internal memory can be expanded by SD card up to 256 GB maximum.

User feedback on this tablet is generally positive, especially for multimedia uses (audio, video, reading, and web browsing).

Identifying the MediaPad M5 Lite 10:

The Huawei brand name is present on the front face at the top left, with the central button at the bottom center. On the back, the Huawei name is also found, with the harman/kardon name below it, and the model number in very small print underneath that.

The MediaPad M5 lite exists on the French market under two model numbers:

-> BAH2-L09

-> BAH2-W19

These two models have a similar internal layout.

The tablet has rounded sides, which makes it quite comfortable to hold.
