Introduction
Use this guide to replace a broken or defective OLED Screen & Digitizer in your Huawei P30 Pro.
Note: This guide instructs you to replace only the screen while leaving the original frame and motherboard in place. However, some replacement screens for this phone come pre-installed in a new frame (a.k.a. chassis), which requires a very different procedure. Make sure you have the correct part before starting this guide.
Opening the Huawei P30 Pro will damage the waterproof sealing on the device. If you do not replace the adhesive seals, your phone will function normally but will lose its water-protection.
Due to the phone’s design, you need to remove the lithium-ion battery in order to remove the screen. Reusing a deformed battery after it been removed is a potential safety hazard. Replace it with a new battery.
Before disassembling your phone, discharge the battery below 25%. The battery can catch fire and/or explode if accidentally punctured, but the chances of that happening are much lower if discharged.
You’ll need replacement adhesive to reattach components when reassembling the device.
Ce dont vous avez besoin

Before you begin, switch off your phone.
-
Apply a heated iOpener to the back of the phone to loosen the adhesive beneath the back cover. Apply the iOpener for at least two minutes.

-
-
If the adhesive becomes hard to cut, it most likely cooled down. Use your iOpener to reheat it.
-
Insert a fourth opening pick under the top left corner of the back cover.
-
Slide the opening pick along the top edge of the phone to cut the adhesive.
-
Leave the opening pick in the top right corner to prevent the adhesive from resealing.

-
Remove the ten Phillips #00 screws (4.3 mm length).

You forgot to tell us about the ear speaker that was to be removed from the old lcd and stuck onto the new 1
How about the Ear Speaker? Is it glued to to the lcd or chassis?
Can you replace the front glass without replacing the digitizer and LCD
I am not a professional but it didn't seem very possible to me. But even if it is, where can you get the glass only? As far as i've seen it's only sold with the complete LCD screen.

Hello just wondering it is easier to replace without a new frame??
Hi elizabethpatrinos,
the screen replacement without replacing the midframe is in general more straight forward and the faster procedure if you’re used to repairs like this. For a display with frame replacement you need to transfer all components of your old phone to your new frame which bears the risk of damaging them. However if your midframe is damaged or bent i strongly advise to replace the screen with the frame. Otherwise your new screen might not mount on your old and damaged frame correctly. At the same time the screen adhesive of the P30 Pro can be a little bit sticky and sometimes it can be hard to get an opening pick between midframe and the screen when only replacing the screen itself. For a beginner i’d advise to replace the screen with frame and to take your time for the repair (take care not to miss any components when transfering them to the new frame and be careful with them), if you feel confident with repairs like this you can replace the screen itself as well and save a little time.
Hi sandeep s,
opening the Huawei P30 Pro will damage the waterproof sealing on the device. If you do not replace the adhesive seals, your phone will function normally but will lose its water-protection.
Hi, could you please tell me which display replacement you used exactly?
I can only find genuine display replacements containing the frame and battery, which is quite expensive. I am searching for a genuine display only replacement part. Can you please help me with that?
Thank you in advance!
So does the use of the suggested 61395 tape negate the lose of water - protection? ie: if done correctly if i use 61395 tape will it retain IP68?
Hi Stephen,
Unfortunately, water resistance is not restored with Tesa tape—the process of restoring guaranteed water resistance requires using special presses and tools.
It is completely wrong guide or the title. It should be named “Huawei P30 Pro Teardown” and nothing apart from that. It stops half way. It doesn’t show how to place the head speaker back and mount the screen. That is most difficult part and it may go wrong.
Hi Dominik, can you please let the readers know what product you used? As described above, nearly all come with frames.
What's about the Fingerprint reader, will it still work after the replacement?
Hi I am not sure if my sons phone has just screen damage or the lcd has gone ? It has like jazzy lines and green white cant see the screen proroerky not sure if I can touch
and looking for someone cheap to fix it? Looking for a original screen
or where can I but it for a p30 pro ?
screeb and digitalizer? Is it
I think the OLED (p30 pro uses it in place of LCD) cable is damaged. So you need to replace the whole screen assembly, that is quite expensive, both for orginal part and aftermarket. my suggestion is to look for a good quality aftermarket one both if you want to keep the OLED or install a cheaper LCD.
In der Anleitung ist ein entscheidender Fehler. Ich möchte nicht sagen alle Modelle der P30 Pro Serie aber zumindest die erst produzierten Modelle haben verschieden lange Schrauben verbaut. Aufgefallen ist mir das bis zum dritten nacheinander erfolglos getauschten OLEDs nicht.
Erst als ich die Nachricht eines Großhändlers genau durch las, stieß ich auf den entscheidenden Satz in dem Stand das Schrauben verbaut werden die Unterschiedlich lang sind.
Ich werde gleich ein weiteres P30 pro OLED tauschen, danach kann ich die entscheidend längeren Schrauben identifizieren und farblich markieren.
Ach ja, die Dichtigkeit kann man ganz einfach mit P7000 Kleber (dick und 100%ig lückenlos aufgetragen) erreichen. Ich habe dies selber mit einem 12 Stunden Test in einer ca. 90 cm großen, gefüllten Regentonne testen können. Auch nach Monaten und weiteren Wasser Bädern ist das Telefon immer noch zu 100% Wasserdicht. Überzeugen konnte ich mich nach einem erneuten Display Schaden vor ca. 2 Wochen. Alle neu von mir angebrachten Feuchte Pads auf den beklebten Schrauben waren pur weis, auch unter dem Mikroskop.
