Xiaomi Redmi Note 10S Back Cover Replacement

Prepare an iOpener by applying it to the back cover for at least two minutes.

Careful not to overheat, as the display and internal battery can be damaged by excessive heat.

• Alternative methods include using a hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate.
• Apply gentle heat for an adequate amount of time to loosen the adhesive underneath.

Secure a suction handle to the bottom edge of the back cover as close to the edge as possible.

• Lift the back cover with the suction handle to create a small gap between the back cover and the frame.
• If 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 created gap.

Insert the opening pick into the bottom right corner of the device and gently pry the adhesive.

• Leave the opening pick in place to prevent re-adhesion.

Insert a second opening pick at the bottom edge.

• Slide it to the bottom left corner to slice the adhesive.
• Leave both picks in place to prevent resealing.
• The suction cup can now be removed.

Adhesive has hardened — it may have cooled down.

• Reheat the adhesive using the iOpener.
• Insert a third opening pick at the bottom left corner of your phone.
• Slide the opening pick along the left edge to slice the adhesive.
• Leave the pick in the top left corner to prevent resealing.

Insert a Y000 opening pick under the top left corner.

• Slide the Y000 opening pick along the top edge, slicing the adhesive.
• Leave the pick in the top right corner to prevent resealing.

Insert a fifth opening pick at the top right corner.

• Slide the opening pick along the right edge of the back cover to cut the remaining adhesive.

Remove the back cover.

• Clean relevant areas with isopropyl alcohol (>90%) and apply new adhesive where necessary.
• Secure the new back cover using pre-cut adhesive or double-sided adhesive tape.

• Apply strong, steady pressure to your phone for several minutes to ensure a good bond — stacking heavy books is recommended.
