Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite Rear Glass Replacement
This guide is for replacing a damaged or broken rear glass on the Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite.
- Replacement adhesive is required to secure components during reassembly.
Step 1 | Heat the rear glass
Prepare an iOpener. Apply it to the rear glass for at least two minutes to loosen the adhesive underneath.
Be cautious when using a hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate: overheating can cause damage to the display and internal battery.
Step 2 | Insert an opening pick
Secure a suction handle to the bottom 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 in place and allow it to cure.
- Lift the rear glass with the suction handle to create a small gap between the rear glass and the frame.
- Apply more heat if needed, following iOpener instructions to avoid overheating.
Insert an opening pick into the gap created, then slide it to the bottom right corner to slice the adhesive.
Leave the opening pick in place to prevent the adhesive from resealing.
Step 3 | Slice the adhesive
Insert a second opening pick at the bottom edge.
- Slide the pick to the bottom left corner, slicing the adhesive.
- Leave picks in place to prevent resealing.
Step 4 | Slice the adhesive
Reheat the adhesive with your iOpener if it's becoming hard to cut.
- Insert a third opening pick at the bottom left corner of your phone.
- Slide this opening pick along the left edge to slice the adhesive.
Leave one opening pick in the top left corner to prevent resealing of the adhesive.
Step 5
Insert a pick into the top left corner of the phone.
- Slide the pick along the top edge to separate the adhesive.
- Leave the pick in place at the top right corner to prevent resealing.
Step 6
Insert opening pick into top right corner.
- Guide pick along right edge, slicing remaining adhesive.
Step 7 | Remove the rear glass
Remove the rear glass.
- Clean areas with isopropyl alcohol (>90%) before applying new adhesive.
- Secure the new rear glass with pre-cut adhesive or double-sided tape.
Apply strong, steady pressure to your phone for several minutes to form a good bond; using a stack of heavy books can be effective.
