How to Disassemble Xiaomi Redmi 13C: Professional Teardown Guide
Prerequisites: Tools Needed
Before starting the teardown, ensure you have the following tools ready:
Phillips #000 Screwdriver (Standard for Xiaomi devices).
Plastic Pry Tools (To avoid scratching the frame).
Thin Opening Picks or a Suction Cup.
Heat Station or a Hairdryer (To soften the back cover adhesive).
Tweezers for handling small components.
Step-by-Step Disassembly Process
1. Power Off and SIM Tray Removal
Always begin by powering off the device completely. Use a SIM ejector tool to remove the tray from the left side of the frame. This step is crucial to prevent snapping the motherboard during the frame removal.
2. Softening the Back Cover Adhesive
The Redmi 13C uses a plastic back panel held by strong adhesive. Apply heat (approximately 80°C) around the edges for 2 minutes. Use a suction cup and a thin plastic pick to create a gap, then carefully slide around the perimeter.
3. Removing the Internal Mid-Frame
Once the back cover is off, you will see the protective plastic mid-frame.
Undo all the visible Phillips screws.
Pro Tip: Keep the screws organized as some may vary slightly in length.
Carefully unclip the fingerprint sensor flex cable before lifting the frame.
4. Disconnecting the Battery and Motherboard
Safety first: Always disconnect the battery flex cable before touching any other component. This prevents short circuits on the motherboard. You can now access the:
Main Camera modules.
Charging Board (Sub-board).
Interconnect cables.
