Thank you for the recommendation! I’ll be buying a new replacement very soon!:)

I have broken the screen of my Mi Mix2 3 times in total now. Waiting for my new screen now.

I helped my friend replace his Redmi 5 Plus’s screen and it turned out to be better (in my opinion) than the old one. It seemed brighter.

What was especially good about that phone was all the screws were philips heads, and they were all the same except two. All the parts were really modular, and it was easy to transfer all the boards into the new frame.

Hopefully the Pocophone is similar.

If the battery pull tabs break, though (ours did) it’s a huge pain to cut through that adhesive, though.

([A teardown of the Pocophone is here.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5VWWba0coY))

All 3 times it happened in the bathroom where the floor is hard.

– first time I left it on the washing machine while it was on and it fell down after 30 minutes or so
– second time I kicked it off the counter while getting out of the tub
– third time it fell out of my hand after my workout because my hand was shaking

I dropped my miku edition note 4x on a touristic site in China… And touristic sites usually mean ruins with a lot of rocks… You Know what happens TT

Been there, done that.

That’s why I use an Otterbox when I am planning to go out for the night. :p

I didn’t word that well, but yes I had the Nillkin frosted shield case on when I dropped the phone. It’s a nice looking case but it sits flush with the screen when you have a glass protector on it. Won’t be using that case again :/

New screen maybe? https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/9py7m2/comment/e85lxk6?st=JNIB9IY4&sh=13657c4f

I’ve ordered a new screen yesterday, it should be arriving in 3-5 days!:)

Can you please tell me the procedure?

Got one for mi4i once from here. Initially xiaomi had their own site, then they moved it to this site. This was like 3 years ago. Assuming they still sell Legit stuff.

Looks like that’ll be how I’ll try to fix the phone! Thanks a lot for the help:)

Is not dead sir if if boots up. I saves countless smartphones which are mine all of them (I have 7 now) by buying the LCD part.

I had the insane bad luck to get a phone with the screen destroyed. But by learning how to put the new screen and some effort I brought them to live again.

You mentioned “good” case. Did it have any case on it when it cracked?

Did you use a creditcard to buy the phone from Eglobal?
Then you can get 0.5 years of insurance in the entire EU so still the UK too.
You’ll have to pay 50 euro in own risk but hey, you get a new phone.

Wow that’s a lot, do you mind explaining how you managed to smash 3 displays?😂

Unfortunately I don’t have any insurance on the phone, I bought it from eglobalcentral and they don’t cover any damage caused by the user. Also, the bank I’m with requires you to register the phone to get insurance. I could give this a try but currently there is no insurance on the phone.

I’ll need to start doing the same😂, gotta buy the biggest cases possible now.

Contact your creditcard company

Hope we could change the screen so we can modify the rounded bottom corner to be the same as the upper corner without the notch.

I have hand repaired my Redmi 5 Plus.

As others have said, you can buy the screen with the frame. It involves moving all of the unscrew-able parts off of the old frame and onto the new. The only downside is that the screen may be worse quality. My screen on the replacement is darker, and is cropped off a slight bit at the top. Unfortunately for you, you can’t really use your original LCD so you’ll have to hope you get lucky with the replacement having a good one.

Just wondering, is it possible to do a screen replacement with the damage being so significant? The screen barely lights up with faint vertical lines. The power button and fingerprint sensor both wake the phone. I live I the UK if that matters, and I’m about 500 miles away from the nearest Xiaomi store in London (if that’s even open yet). I fucked up badly on this one.

And what happened, I was on the phone with a friend after a night out, phone slipped out of my hand, landed face first on concrete. The screen protector I had on didn’t do much protecting and the case didn’t have a lip to protect from face first falls. It hits hard because earlier today I bought a better screen protector and a case with a lip around the screen to prevent exactly what happened… today.

EDIT: **The phone still works, it unlocks, detects my voice, the notification LED works. I had my phone on silent with no vibration so I’ll have to wait until Monday morning to see if the speakers still work (as my alarms will ring then). Thank you to /u/IamAPengling & /u/illuminaughtti for recommending places to buy new screens, and thank you to every else for the advice. I’m going to do as much as I can to get this phone fully working again.**

i lost my phone while drunk too fuck

that seems fairly simple. I would do it if I were you, since I did not trust any other 3rd party repair shop, and they also cost a lot.

edit

its as simple as redmi note 3. look here
