Xiaomi Poco F3 Rear Glass Replacement

What you need

  1. Xiaomi Poco F3 Rear Glass Replacement, Heat the rear glass: step 1, image 1 of 1
    • Prepare an iOpener and apply it to the rear glass for at least two minutes to loosen the adhesive underneath.

    • A hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate may also be used, but be careful not to overheat the phone—the screen and internal battery are both susceptible to heat damage.

    • Secure a suction handle to the right edge of the rear glass, as close to the edge as possible.

    • If the rear glass is cracked, the suction handle may not stick. Try lifting it with strong tape, or superglue the suction handle in place and allow it to cure so you can proceed.

    • Lift the rear glass with the suction handle to create a small gap between the rear glass and the frame.

    • In case you have trouble creating a gap, apply more heat to further soften the adhesive. Follow the iOpener instructions to avoid overheating.

    • Insert an opening pick into the gap you created.

    • Insert a third opening pick in the bottom right corner.

    • Slide the opening pick along the bottom edge of your phone to slice the adhesive.

    • Leave the opening pick in the bottom left corner to prevent the adhesive from resealing.

    • Slide the opening pick along the top edge of the rear glass to slice the remaining adhesive.

  8. Xiaomi Poco F3 Rear Glass Replacement, Remove the rear glass: step 8, image 1 of 1
    • Remove the rear glass.

    • Apply new adhesive where necessary after cleaning the relevant areas with isopropyl alcohol (>90%).

    • Secure the new rear glass with pre-cut adhesive or double-sided adhesive tape. After installing the rear glass, apply strong, steady pressure to your phone for several minutes to help the adhesive form a good bond—a stack of heavy books works well.

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

My poco f3 suddenly died with 70% battery charge. Happened 3 times already but after changing with a 120w charger, it lives up again. This time, it wont on even after so many tries and a few chargers ..
