- DIY on how to remove any non removable battery smartphone / mobile phone (Huawei Mate 10 in this case) glass back cover with a hairdryer, suction cup and a guitar pick. Do it yourself since it is so easy.
the guy with no hair is using a hairdryer.
Lol that is why I am using it to open the phone's back cover 🤣
@@ShermanChin your doing a great job buddy and still a long way to go, carry on.
Might be his girlfriend/wifes, or mother's/sisters, for the job at hand it worked great
😂😂😂😂
@@ShermanChin I 😂😂😂😂
I was thinking of buying the suction cup thing but using the base of the phone holder, that's smart dude.
Thanks! I bought a few just for this purpose! 😅
DITTO This guy saved me.
Bro thanks for the advice. Everyone cracking jokes but you did everyone a service! Thank you!
You are most welcome! 😊
So if you attempt to do this for the first time with a smartphone I have a few tips:
1. The back cover is MADE to break when you try to open it. That's why it is made of glass on most phones. I wouldn't try it for the first time if I didn't have a spare back cover.
Mine broke but I don't really care, since I have a case all the time.
2. Use the hair dryer all the time as you go around the back cover with the guitar pick. I would use something thinner next time. Use it before every single step. So at least 15 times to be safe.
3. The pick had to be inserted a lot deeper on my phone then I was left to believe, which got me quite confused as the cover was simply not falling off.
Mine is OnePlus 7T.
Thanks for the additional tips, Dino! 😊
bro. you have a great potential of being a comedian. great video btw
Thanks, bro! 😅
Thanks for the video mate it was really helpful, and your English speaking is really good, keep up the good work 👍🏻
@AJJUNIOR I am so glad that it helped you! Thank you so much as well for the kind words and motivation! 😊
@@ShermanChin... Your welcome mate, I found it very informative and easy to understand, im sure many more like me will also find it useful too. Thank you 👍🏻
thanks a lot Krillin, it is super helpful. 👏
Lol I prefer Saitama 👊😉
@@ShermanChincan i use lighter bro instead of hair blower
@@princeaj2076 be careful that your whole phone doesn't turn into a ball of flame 🔥😅
@@ShermanChin yes i will.. my phone is glass back also..
@@princeaj2076 should be a bit safer if glass back and you don't heat for long. 💪
Hey Man.. Really Great .. You have shown all the possible way to open it.. Awesome.. Subscribed your channel today
Thanks, Sathishkumar! 😊 Really appreciated!
Can i use a hair dryer to losen the glue to hold down the screen?
Yup, same concept 😊
Thankyou Saitama!
👊😂👍
Great video, makes it easy to understand. I'm not so used to these new phones but maybe 6 months ago now I smashed my galaxy A70 and I want to sell it because I have a new phone so I ordered a screen and some tools and will follow this. Saves a lot of money on buying a heat gun. I'm glad you can use just a hairdryer. Thanks for making this video!
You are very welcome! 😊 It is just a bit slower with a hairdryer compared to a heat gun because the heat is more dissipated but nothing a little little patience will not solve. 💪 I still wish they just make phones with removable backs like they used to. 🤬
@@ShermanChin agreed! I was doing local repairs between iPhone 4-5s era and even then it was quite simple. I mainly refurbish/fix laptops and computers which also just use screws and plastic latches and stuff but now everything is made very hard to repair so people will instead just buy a new device. Good to know about the hairdryer though! It's been a while since the phone broke and I only really care to fix it because I have some photos and messages etc on there I can't get otherwise :( I will let you know how it goes in about 2-3 weeks when the screen comes since it's coming from China :)))
@Slooby all the best with that screen replacement of yours! 💪 A pro tip is to check that the screen is working before screwing everything back in. I replaced the screen on my iPhone 5s with a one made from China but found out that the bottom part of the screen had its digitizer not detecting my touches at all. Had to take it all out again and ask for a refund. Such a pain. 😢
@@ShermanChin ahhhh that's so annoying what a shame. Always make sure to turn on device and check everything works before reassembling hahaha especially since now I have to glue the back on again with the double sided tape hahaha. Thanks my friend 😊 will let you know
@@Slooby thanks again and good luck! 💪 Make sure you have a strong suction cup to make the back removal fast and simple without cutting too deep with your pry tool along the edges of the back cover. 😊
wow, thank you man, you save my time, it was hard for me to open it at first, i saw the saction that you use.wow it s easy.
Glad I could help! 😊
thanks for making realistic tutorial
made ez for me to open my shattered xz3 back panel
You are welcome and I am glad that I managed to help you! 😊
I like you, video was helpful and I like your personality, SUBSCRIBED>
Thank you very much! 🙏
thanks buddy!!!! this is super helpful as I need to replace my glass on the phone.
You are welcome and good luck with that glass replacement! 😊
Sir did your back cover break after you opened it? Or it was broken before? Thanks
It was broken before. Don't worry. The hairdryer is not hot enough to break it. 😅
@@ShermanChin You're a gentleman. Thank you
thank you bro, this was very helpful!
You are welcome! 😊
such a sweet man
Do you have to be fast after heating up the edges? Or does the adhesive stay soft
Very good question! Yes, you do have to be fast. The adhesive will go back to being sticky again or else it will come off after the phone overheats many times. 😅
@@ShermanChin okay thakyouu
@@lopolo2458 you are welcome and good luck!💪
I guess he grows a extra hand when the cam is off
Wait...what? 😅🤣
Thanks!!!
You are welcome! 😊
is it really safe (doesn't dmg the parts inside?) I'm thinking of this as alternative before i purchase heat gun
No because the phone is much hotter when it heats up 😅
how bout removing the lcd can use hairdryer also..
Only if it is glued on 😅
hero!!!
I don't have those suction things, any idea what could be used instead?
No idea but I am sure you can buy those suction cups easily from a local DIY store or phone store.
how i stick the cover back to the phone?do i need new glue or just heat it again and stick it back with the glue that came with it?
If you want it to stick and be somewhat water proof again, you need to buy a new layer of adhesive film to replace the old one. If not, just use the old layer as I did because it will still be a bit sticky.
@@ShermanChin I've got a new adhesive film for my phone, do I have to scratch off the original one or can I just put the new one on top of the original one?
Do you mean a screen protector, Wisnia? If you have a new screen protector, I recommend removing the old one first or the touch sensitivity will be diminished. If it is just a back, then it doesn't matter.
@@ShermanChin I mean the sticker under the back panel that connects the panel to the phone
You need a new adhesive or it wouldn't be water resistant or that sticky. I didn't mind but you might.
Ain’t no point in using a suction cup if it’s cracked it won’t seal tight enough if its chipped heat it and just pick the glass out wit a razor
Worked for me although you got to get the part that is not cracked. Otherwise, just break the crack parks and pry it open with a pry tool
How long does it take for the adhesive to loosen?
My Mate 10 took only about a minute before loosening but others might take longer depending on how strong the adhesive is. Just keep checking with your suction cup to see if any gap forms. Good luck! 😄
if a hair dryer can suffice, that's great, thanks man!!
@@GUMTOON you are welcome but please be careful when cutting the glue with your pry tool after the gap has formed. Some phones have wires near the edges. Just check TH-cam teardown videos of your phone to see where the wires are located first.
If install the cover back, need to put the adhesive?
Yeah sure, but use waterproof glue (black one). I recommend you to use T-8000 Black Glue
If you want it to be water resistant, then yes
Fun fact he is using hair dryer without hairs 🤣🤣🤣
🤣 No choice unless the cover is held down by screws like the iPhone: th-cam.com/video/Z3UBwJMPnXs/w-d-xo.html
