Hi. On my Huawei p20 pro the fingerprint sensor got broken (my daughter bit it). It does not work anymore and a crack is visible. Any idea - can the sensor be replaced on its own without changing the whole screen?
I just sent my P20 Pro to the Huawei service center for this exact issue and they refused to replace the fingerprint sensor, instead they offered to replace the entire display assembly.
Really disappointed, I'll repair it elsewhere and sell it to get a Samsung.
I think the fingerprint sensor comes with the display itself.
looks like there are a lot of replacement parts on Aliexpress. One for $5 only. If u know how to take the screen out and put it back, order one and DIY.

The fingerprint sensor is glued in on a frame below the display, found the part for 5-6$ online.
I'll get it and find a repair shop locally to replace it, don't have the necessary tools for this.

this iFixit essential kit would be good enough to open it up and replace the FP reader.

My phone felt from about 5 feet yesterday and i am wondering whether the my initial display (AMOLED) has to be replaced or the front glass. My phone seems to be working great including touch and the display. I ran to Sammy's service center asap and they told me the display has died and it will cost around 8500 INR (~170$). Just wanna make that what avtually has to be replaced.

I don't see the thumbnail, Is your screen smashed? there are ways to replace just the glass, I think there's something in this forum or General walking you through it, However ,I'd not do it..
If the screen is smashed I'd either A) Have SS replace it or B) Buy one and do it myself, However, I'd need to be 110% sure I was comfortablt with the process..
There's also a couple of YouTube video's showing the process for replacing just the glass and also the full screen..
Thanks for replying ..I actually listed my question just to confirm what has to be replaced whole display+digitizer or just the front glass. I do not rely on the service center guyz to be honest. Will service center people just replace the above glass or they will charge me for the whole screen ?
Good you I have broken the screen of my mobile mi6 .... to the not being possible the purchase in the official shop Xiaomi I am looking for alternatives.
In principle it would be the complete screen with the fingerprint sensor included since this can not be dismantled.
If someone has replaced and changed their screen the best possible quality of sellers I am thankful, I searched for aliexpress but do not include fingerprint sensor.
I leave images of my screen:
Original Screen Mi6
Thanks in advance to everyone
I tried to have mine repaired just for the earpiece and microphone and could find nobody willing to take the work

i dont know if you still need help but i replaced a screen from this reseller and i cant complain. good price with (small) fingerprint and it works. https://de.aliexpress.com/item/Xiao...32828254592.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.ewfvrX
in any case, make sure you glue/tape the capacitive buttons to the backside of the glass because most likely they ship them loose (which can result in not recognize your touch if you just install the screen)
I've replace the screen twice. If you want the best, buy from www.dragon-tt.com.
Everything else seems to be a compromise. As you can see by the price, it cost more, but worth it.

Hi, today i found out that i can't work with my phone in the pouch, i've broken the glass simply by picking something that fell on the ground. Now i need replacement, some suggested me to buy the LCD with the frame, others say that a s*itty frame could give me issues with gps and antennas in general. I don't want to wait one month for a replacement screen only to find out that the quality is rubbish, so i ask you: what and where is the best replacement part i can buy? Thanks in advance

All the replacements you buy will be the same sh*t quality, the only difference is gonna be the price. The best solution is to take to the Authorize MI service centre, but that will cost a lot and it will probably take a month. Or, maybe finding a damaged/used Mi Max which has a and not damaged screen.
just wait for max3

Eh, I bought this replacement screen on Amazon for $36 CAD. It came in about a month, and works just fine. It *is* a bit dimmer than the stock display, so I have to use a brighter setting when outdoors, but otherwise, no issues. It even comes with the tools / 3M Tape / Etc for the repair (though I didn't opt to DIY, I paid a local shop $50 to do it for me with my provided materials).
Guys, I have discovered a crack across the glass that is deep enough that I can feel the crack line with my fingernail.
I intend to buy a replacement part & have it fixed at a repair shop.
Anyone able to share a link that you have ordered from before ?
Thanks all.

Yes... the outer glass part ... They told me they used to replace it for free for Redmi Note 5 pro and Mi A1 given the devices are under warranty. But when they ordered parts for A2 , there were notified to charge for it. Aren't there Xiaomi service centers in Singapore ? If there are it's better to take you device there. If there aren't I think you can find it in AliExpres too.
Hey,
i have broken my rear camera glass.
Is there a way to replace this or is it one piece with the fingerprint sensor ?
Can you suggest a good one, i cant find the glass itself and i am afraid getting a fingerprint sensor that is not working correctly...
a german / europe shop would be nice if possible...
Thanks

Xiaomi offers complete assembly with fingerprint sensor but just the glass is available with outside vendors and is quite cheap .
I did get mine changed here in India for a few dollars, you being in Europe , AliExpress would be your best bet if u can't find anything locally.
Installation is a simple job of just pasting the new glass with the provided double side tape.

I can recommend you taking also camera protecting glass. it helps a lot prevventing next damages + 0 scratches. I've been using it for a year
