Introduzione
Use this guide to replace a cracked or broken screen on your Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 5G.
If the frame is deformed, it's important to replace it to make sure the new screen will mount correctly and won’t suffer damage from uneven pressure.
Due to the device’s design, you must remove the lithium-ion battery to access the display cables. If the battery was deformed during removal replace it with a new one—reusing a deformed battery is a potential safety hazard.
If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions. For your safety, discharge your battery below 25% before disassembling your device. This reduces the risk of a dangerous thermal event if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair.
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.
You’ll need replacement adhesive to reattach components when reassembling the device.

Hi
I just did this and I had an issue with "don't cover earphone area". I realize that I can solve this by just switching off pocket mode but, that's a handy feature.
When I replaced the screen I had to use double sided sicky tape to stick the screen to the frame, can anyone tell me where the sensor is located, I intend to open it again and replace the double sided tape with phone adhesive.
Otherwise, super handy guide, thanks! Love this site for repairs. Complete, thorough, and the way every step is photographed and labelled.
Thanks. Nice guide, well detailed.
