Simply fantastic. My phone dropped in water for about one minute. Once it was dried, it was working normally, but after 5 hours it switched off by itself and it was no possible to switch it on. I have followed step by step this tutorial and I managed to disassemble and put it back together without any problem. Now the phone works again. Really great tutorial. Thank you.
No problem, but keep in mind. For water damage, don't attempt to turn on the phone since you can short the parts. Take it apart, disconnect the battery. Dry any liquid inside and brush off any corrosion over chips or connectors, then re assemble the phone so you don't risk the board or other parts shorting down the line.
Absolute lifesaver, I did not know if it was an easy phone to repair or a glue-built nightmare but this video made me buy a replacement screen. My phone dropped off the roof of my car at ~60 kmh and got run over by another face down but only the top layer of glass shattered leaving the screen and digitizer completely functional. The quality for price on this phone still blows my mind after 4 months of ownership.
Bruh, it got run over by a CAR? After falling off one at 60 KMPH?! You should retire it on a soft cotton bedding if it's still able to wake. Good on you to repair though.
Update: the aftermarket replacement screen was a dud and was generating random touch inputs. Eventually I gave up and bought another poco x3 pro since it was so cheap.
This is one of easiest battery swappable phone on market. Plastic back prying without fear of cracking. And pull tabs for easy removal of battery. Even normal users can do that when their phones out of warranty. 👍
doing this now. cause im stupid to forgot that my poco x3 was still in the blanket then run washed it on a washing machine. i let it dry on rice for 2 days. well if it works then great. if it doenst survive that. i still learn on this phone teardown. thanks for this vid. very educational.
@@PBKreviews update. my pocox3 is alive! it survived the washing machine and spinner. though there is water marks visible on the Screen. the bottom speaker and mic is not working. so i bought online a replacement for it. is it possible its just water trapped on the lcd screen? i have not tried removing it yet.
Amazing video! On 1:41 you removed a flex cable of Fingerprint Sensor, right? 1) The Power Button and Volume Buttons still works if I remove that? Is there a separate circuit for Power and Volume? 2) I've notice some people telling the Fingerprint Sensor is the same as Redmi Note 9 PRO, but with a different shape of flex cable, do you know? I'm asking because my fingerprint sensor is broken and there's nowhere on internet that I can buy it. Thanks for your video and any kind of help.
Yes thats the flex cable for it, if you disconnect it the power button will not work. The volume up and down has a separate flex which sits underneath the board. The board sits on top of that flex cable and the contacts make a connection. You will see that flex cable @2:43 in the video.
Thank you @@PBKreviews! So in simple words, if I disconnect the flex cable for Fingerprint Sensor ( 1:41 ) Power button will certainly not work, right?
You use smartphone adhesive. Usually its best to find precut adhesive which is already cut specific for your phone so it ensures a good seal around the back plate. But one is not available, you can use 300LSE or smartphone red tape. There are many types of adhesives.
It is adhered to that plastic cover on the top portion. It helps transfer heat away from the main board to the back plate. If your's came off then you would probably want to apply some adhesive to a small portion of it to keep it in place over the top plastic cover as you see it in the video.
@@PBKreviews Hi, so I just finished replacing my volume rocker and power buttons, and for the sake of anyone that wants to do the same I just want to say that you don't have to remove the motherboard and battery. You just gotta remove the back plate and the thin rubber strip at the left side of the frame, get the power button ribbon free by removing that other black ribbon on top of it (1:11), then you can get the power button out and put the new one in. Gotta be careful though because you have to bend the ribbon at two points in that tiny channel where that black rubber strip was. As for the volume rocker, it's just a matter of jamming it in from the outside after the rubber strip has been removed. I had to replace my volume rocker because it broke in half and fell out of the frame after a bad fall, then decided to also replace the power button with a blue one because mine was black, for aesthetic purposes 😂😂😂😂
There are 2 different models of this phone. Poco X3 and Poco X3 NFC. The poco x3 has a 6000 mAh battery which is this video, and the poco x3 NFC has a 5160 mAh battery.
I actually love the "conciseness" you do have and you "teach us". It should be first priority quality-parameter of a video. Not sure if I am clear, you get what I am saying.
I don't know how but i bent my poco x3 right on top of the battery section for about 10° and i don't know if it will help to open it up and try ask pressure,the side plastic is cracked
Hi, I think it would be possible but I am not 100% sure. The connectors and locations seem to be the same. But I don't have either phone anymore to try it.
Can the headphone port be changed without having to change the entire plate, where is it located? mine makes noise when plugging in any headphone and it's the port.
Hi before you done this teardown did you notice a camera lens movement a little? My new Poco x3 pro back camera lens is moving a little. I dont know if thats normal
I think it should be normal. Usually there is slight room in the base of the camera assembly for slight movement as well as the lens in the housing as well.
Does the back cover have some kind of a clip or something to attach to or is it simply being attached using an adhesive? Wanted to open mine but I'm afraid to open the back cover. Might not be able to put it back again. Please respond. Thank you Nice video by the way. SUBSCRIBED!
Hi, its held on just with adhesive. If you take it off you would need to apply new adhesive strip to seal it back up again. I have a video on how to install new adhesive, or you can order this battery door/cover back plate part which comes with the original adhesive preinstalled that would make it easier to install (you would just peal and apply the back plate). www.ebay.com/itm/164808528341?hash=item265f5a91d5:g:3p0AAOSwuPpgc3aw
hey man! thanks a lot for the video, very clear and well done. Dissembled mine, now im looking where to buy this adhesive. Can you recommend something? at least how it is called properly?
It's pretty strong but not sure how well it will be against keeping water out. Splashes and spills should be fine, but not sure how well it will do being dunked in a body of water etc. The rubber seal covering the inside of the openings where the buttons are should help keep some water out but water can still get into the keys themselves and possibly short the keys and cause them not to function.
@PBKreviews PLEASE please please do you or does anyone here know what the cable at 1:35 is called? Mine is ripped and my phone won't come on without it replaced :( phone shop cant help so if anyone knows the name of that cable so I can find a replacement I would greatly appreciate it . Thanks:)
Thats a coaxial cable. You would need to find one that is same length, can be from a different phone probably but as long as length is same, should work.
@@creamxsoda ya but you run into the problem of how to fit it in to be able to put all the covers and stuff back in place. Since usually there isnt much extra room to tuck the extra cable in.
Hi, you would remove the back cover, then the screws on the top plastic cover and remove that top plastic cover. Next disconnect the battery cable and the two flex cables which go over the battery and then you would be able to use the pull tabs on the battery to pry the battery off and replace it.
It won't damage the battery by pressing on it, but if you stab it with a tool then yea it can damage it. It's not too thin and soft but not firm like glass either.
Wait a while ! 2:04 the main camera moves and its a EIS not OIS, indeed this phone has a strange good stabilization maybe cauz of that "moving" technique even if its not OPTICAL stabilozation appelation
Does its main camera have OIS or not? I'm seeing some websites mention that it does, and others mentioning it doesn't. Great video, very detailed and helpful.
thanks for the helpful video. Btw, how to remove top speaker and its flex cable, also the sensor. For me, I have to transfer parts to its new frame with lcd. Thanks.
You're welcome. The earpiece speaker is held down with adhesive, you can heat it up and gently pry it off. The flex cable same way, you can use a thin tool to gently get under the flex cable and pry it off the frame carefully so you dont tear it. Same for the proximity sensor flex cable.
My SIM tray ejection needle broke inside, when trying to open the tray. How do I take it from there? Basically all I need is to extract the broken piece.
Hi! i dropped my phone into the WC and took it off immediately, but the camera got wet between the glass and the camera itself, so i took it apart and cleaned it... now i have a black screen, its visible that it turns on and the phone seems to be working but the only way to turn it off is to remove the battery cable... i was very careful and didnt scratch anyting during the disassembly... do you have any recommendations?
Hi, its possible either the screen has gone bad or the display connector was shorted or has corrosion around it preventing it from working. It can also be the display chip. Try taking it apart again and use a tooth brush to brush off any corrosion around any connectors or chips and put the phone back together. If still doesn't work, your next option would be to try a new display and see if the screen is the culprit. And if still no luck at that point the problem is with the motherboard and most likely you would need a new phone.
I followed this guide step-by-step, but after reassembly, the phone does not turn on easily(I have to spam the power button, process system not responding), and the audio becomes extremely distorted when I tighten rhe screws on the motherboard cover. Any ideas on how to fix this?
So.. is the penta antenna real? when it said penta antenna does that mean it has 6x6 MIMO 6 antenna's? i really need a phone that have a very good cellular signal reception because im currently living to a place that has few cell sites
@@PBKreviews Thanks for your response. That's what I thought. I was just interested where the NFC antenna is located because I cannot find it anywhere online.
Is there a way to fill in the gap between the battery and the back plate of the phone? I've noticed when I press down on the gap the vibration caused by the speakers is significantly reduced
You might be able to use foam padding for the battery doors that some phones have (for example: www.ebay.com/itm/For-OPPO-Realme-X2-Pro-Original-Glass-Battery-Back-Cover-Rear-Door-Replacement/274559649707?hash=item3fed07c7ab:g:OAkAAOSw2V5foUSG) but I can't find any for sale aside from ones already coming with a battery door so you might have to buy a battery door for a different phone and peel off the foam barrier pad. But not sure if that will have an affect on the battery door being raised and not allowing the adhesive around the boarders to adhere to the frame. Also usually the batteries expand and contrast when they heat up or cool down slightly and not sure if that will pose an issue for that, I would lean towards not since it has a little room on the bottom of the battery compartment but yep.
Please tell me, is it necessary to apply new thermal grease to the place where it was, between main board and copper pipe, or it's enough to just assemble back all? And if it's necessary, can you recommend which exactly thermal grease needed? Thank You 🙏.
Yeah its best to apply new thermal paste if you take it apart. There are many kinds out there, you can google to see which is better but avoid using highly conductive ones. Use one that has low or no conductivity since if it leaks or gets around anywhere, it can short your phone if its conductive. I'm not sure which is best to recommend you one.
Great video. Nice camera angles, very well done. Question maybe someone can help me? My glass cracked do I have to purchase a new screen and digitizer? Can I just replace the glass? Also do I have ro remove everything as you did to replace it? Thanks in advance, I can't find much about screen replacement that is in English and understandable so any help is appreciated.
Hi, you would need to replace the entire screen assembly if the glass on the screen is cracked. You would need to remove the back plate and remove the screws and top plastic cover, disconnect the battery cable and volume key cable as well as the flex cable that leads from the main board to the sub board or charger port board on bottom. Then you would need to remove the battery to gain access to the screen cable and you would need to pry off your old screen from the frame, get your new screen, apply new adhesive and run your cable back through the opening in the midframe, apply your new screen and reconnected the screen cable to the main board and re assemble the phone.
I changed my charging port board because it was fired down before due to the bloated battery. I replaced it and my signal it not responsive like before. What should I change? The wifi signal antenna or the charging port board again?
Hello i have some experience opening this phone, but i got a problem i dont know why happens My poco x3 nfc only charges without the black part covering the mainboard/camera, i tried everything. you know what could be?
It can be a few things. One maybe some metal part that is not suppose to touch the frame is being pressed down and touching it causing it to short n not work or the connector for it is either damaged or the flex cable for the charger port is damaged so when its being pressed down when that cover is over it, it causes it not to work.
Great video. Opened it many times, it's a great phone to repair, except for the battery glue. Poco X3 is honestly too big, wish it was a bit thinner and smaller.
You're welcome. No its aluminium just might not be as reinforced or as strong as other phones etc. Just because that reviewer was able to bend the phone doesn't make it plastic. The mid frame center is aluminum and has plastic around the borders. :)
My poco x3 fell into a pool. It won't turn on. I'm wondering if I can retrieve my photos by tearing it down? Where is the harddrive/memory card? Is it in the motherboard?
Yes taking it apart will break the water resistance if any. But if you use an original precut adhesive tape (if available on the market) to re attach the back plate, then you should retain the water resistance and have no issue.
Hello, I have a problem on the screen around the camera, it is a green stain sometimes it is lost, and sometimes it gets darker, I don't know how it happened or why that stain came out. please help.
Hmm not sure might be moisture or some sort of liquid that got in. Only way to clean it is to open the back plate and gain entry to the front facing camera to clean it. If its not to big a deal, its best to leave it alone so you don't remove the original adhesive seal around the back plate.
For you is it possible to put the SD860 chip of Poco X3 pro in the Poco X3 NFC, or put the Sony IMX 682 and other cameras of the X3 NFC and replace the Cameras of the X3 Pro.
I don't have the skills to do that type of work. But if you are asking if its possible, not sure as far as processor goes. For cameras, it may be possible if the connectors are the same and they sit in the same way inside the phone but it might run into software issues as well.
I really want to know how the power button remove or something, i dropped my poco x3 the only part got dented is in the power button. Now it sinked and keeps on turning on and off, pls help what should i do?
Once you take off the back plate/cover, there is a rubber insert covering the flex cables which go for the power button on the midframe. You remove that and you should have access to taking out the flex cable as well as pushing in the button inward into the frame to get it removed if I am not mistaken. Just be careful you don't tear or damage the cable.
This got me thinking if it's possible to swap the main cameras between Poco X3(64mp) and Poco X3 pro(48mp). Would the 64mp camera work on Poco X3 pro which originally had the 48mp camera.
It's possible, I didn't try it but the size of the connectors and location seem to all be the same so might work. Not sure 100% if the software will read it but won't know till you try I guess.
@@PBKreviews oh. That's unfortunate, It got me excited though. I Hope you still get the opportunity to try it though. Will be waiting for more of your vids.
You would need to take off the back plate, as well as remove the top plastic cover over the main board and remove the battery so you will have access to disconnecting and removing the screen cable.
@@clover9545 the only thing I can think of is it would lose the original adhesive seal on the back plate unless an original pre cut adhesive seal was used again to seal it up.

@@sajtszaft sounds good, no problem.
I followed this guide step-by-step, but after reassembly, the phone does not turn on easily(I have to spam the power button, process system not responding), and the audio becomes extremely distorted when I tighten rhe screws on the motherboard cover. Any ideas on how to fix this?
So.. is the penta antenna real?
when it said penta antenna does that mean it has 6x6 MIMO 6 antenna's?
i really need a phone that have a very good cellular signal reception because im currently living to a place that has few cell sites
Watching on poco x3 😍
Nice
Where's the NFC antenna located?
This is not the Poco X3 NFC model this is just the Poco X3 which does not have NFC.
@@PBKreviews Thanks for your response. That's what I thought. I was just interested where the NFC antenna is located because I cannot find it anywhere online.
very nice teardown.. just a question is the frame metal or plastic?
Thank you, the midframe is aluminum with plastic a plastic boarder.
What adhesive did you use?
watch this video: ruclips.net/video/T4iiPUIM7-Y/видео.html
Is there a way to fill in the gap between the battery and the back plate of the phone? I've noticed when I press down on the gap the vibration caused by the speakers is significantly reduced
You might be able to use foam padding for the battery doors that some phones have (for example: www.ebay.com/itm/For-OPPO-Realme-X2-Pro-Original-Glass-Battery-Back-Cover-Rear-Door-Replacement/274559649707?hash=item3fed07c7ab:g:OAkAAOSw2V5foUSG) but I can't find any for sale aside from ones already coming with a battery door so you might have to buy a battery door for a different phone and peel off the foam barrier pad. But not sure if that will have an affect on the battery door being raised and not allowing the adhesive around the boarders to adhere to the frame. Also usually the batteries expand and contrast when they heat up or cool down slightly and not sure if that will pose an issue for that, I would lean towards not since it has a little room on the bottom of the battery compartment but yep.
Please tell me, is it necessary to apply new thermal grease to the place where it was, between main board and copper pipe, or it's enough to just assemble back all? And if it's necessary, can you recommend which exactly thermal grease needed? Thank You 🙏.
Yeah its best to apply new thermal paste if you take it apart. There are many kinds out there, you can google to see which is better but avoid using highly conductive ones. Use one that has low or no conductivity since if it leaks or gets around anywhere, it can short your phone if its conductive. I'm not sure which is best to recommend you one.
is the frame plastic or metal? I mean is whole frame where power and volume button sits that frame is plastic or shiny polished metal?
the midframe is aluminum alloy but has plastic around it.
Please help me, where is located the memory (data storage) on motherboard? Thanks
can i ask something? there are 4 or 5 cameras in front right? why is there only one after the teardown?
What do you mean? There are more than one on the back. 3 of them are on the camera bracket assembly that I disconnect and remove and show.
My Poco x3 just stop çharging. What should I replace? The flex board or the whole charging board?
You would need to replace the bottom sub board/charger port board.
Thanks. Im watching it on my poco x3 nfc
You're welcome
Great video. Nice camera angles, very well done. Question maybe someone can help me? My glass cracked do I have to purchase a new screen and digitizer? Can I just replace the glass? Also do I have ro remove everything as you did to replace it? Thanks in advance, I can't find much about screen replacement that is in English and understandable so any help is appreciated.
Hi, you would need to replace the entire screen assembly if the glass on the screen is cracked. You would need to remove the back plate and remove the screws and top plastic cover, disconnect the battery cable and volume key cable as well as the flex cable that leads from the main board to the sub board or charger port board on bottom. Then you would need to remove the battery to gain access to the screen cable and you would need to pry off your old screen from the frame, get your new screen, apply new adhesive and run your cable back through the opening in the midframe, apply your new screen and reconnected the screen cable to the main board and re assemble the phone.
@@PBKreviews yes! Thanks for the help man. Much appreciated
I changed my charging port board because it was fired down before due to the bloated battery. I replaced it and my signal it not responsive like before. What should I change? The wifi signal antenna or the charging port board again?
Like my 4G is always fake and whenever I have many mobile users around, my data is not functioning well.
Great job!!! I want to buy that cellphone
Thank you!
Is this metal alumnium frame?
Yes its aluminum
Hello
i have some experience opening this phone, but i got a problem i dont know why happens
My poco x3 nfc only charges without the black part covering the mainboard/camera, i tried everything.
you know what could be?
It can be a few things. One maybe some metal part that is not suppose to touch the frame is being pressed down and touching it causing it to short n not work or the connector for it is either damaged or the flex cable for the charger port is damaged so when its being pressed down when that cover is over it, it causes it not to work.
That little black cable on the bottom corner... Someone knows its function? Thanks
Did you apply thermal paste?
What do you mean?
Did you apply thermal paste between cpu and liquid cooler before the reassembly?
Great video. Opened it many times, it's a great phone to repair, except for the battery glue. Poco X3 is honestly too big, wish it was a bit thinner and smaller.
Thank you very much for the video. I saw on some reviewers page that the indian varient has plastic frame, is that true?
You're welcome. No its aluminium just might not be as reinforced or as strong as other phones etc. Just because that reviewer was able to bend the phone doesn't make it plastic. The mid frame center is aluminum and has plastic around the borders. :)
Thank you for your information 😊
Now I'm at peace😊
@@roshanpokhrel336 you're welcome :)
Hi i want ask how long time period the battery has life about
it would vary from phone to phone based on how it is used and what apps the person uses so couldn't really give you a good answer.
Great Video!
Can you guess the reason behind its heavy weight?
Thank you! Possibly the larger battery, and copper heat pipe add a bit of weight.
your voice sounds like robot😅😅so serious if not force to talk😅😅idk mybe its just me btw nice vid man👍👍
ya I have a mono tone voice, cant help it :)
My poco x3 fell into a pool. It won't turn on. I'm wondering if I can retrieve my photos by tearing it down? Where is the harddrive/memory card? Is it in the motherboard?
Hi, no it won't be possible. The onboard storage is soldered onto the motherboard.
@@PBKreviews i see, thanks for letting me know
Watching on poco x3 did hurts💔
:)
Hello, is the Poco X3 NFC display compatible with the Poco X3 Pro?
Does it break the water resistance?
Yes taking it apart will break the water resistance if any. But if you use an original precut adhesive tape (if available on the market) to re attach the back plate, then you should retain the water resistance and have no issue.
If will can able to change the processor chip(snapdragon 725g to snapdragon 855)
Would not be possible. You would need to replace the entire board.
Hello, I have a problem on the screen around the camera, it is a green stain sometimes it is lost, and sometimes it gets darker, I don't know how it happened or why that stain came out. please help.
Hmm not sure might be moisture or some sort of liquid that got in. Only way to clean it is to open the back plate and gain entry to the front facing camera to clean it. If its not to big a deal, its best to leave it alone so you don't remove the original adhesive seal around the back plate.
For you is it possible to put the SD860 chip of Poco X3 pro in the Poco X3 NFC, or put the Sony IMX 682 and other cameras of the X3 NFC and replace the Cameras of the X3 Pro.
I don't have the skills to do that type of work. But if you are asking if its possible, not sure as far as processor goes. For cameras, it may be possible if the connectors are the same and they sit in the same way inside the phone but it might run into software issues as well.
where is the accelometer located? my x3 had a bad fall and it's accelometer needs repair.
not sure exactly where its located.
I really want to know how the power button remove or something, i dropped my poco x3 the only part got dented is in the power button. Now it sinked and keeps on turning on and off, pls help what should i do?
Once you take off the back plate/cover, there is a rubber insert covering the flex cables which go for the power button on the midframe. You remove that and you should have access to taking out the flex cable as well as pushing in the button inward into the frame to get it removed if I am not mistaken. Just be careful you don't tear or damage the cable.
This got me thinking if it's possible to swap the main cameras between Poco X3(64mp) and Poco X3 pro(48mp). Would the 64mp camera work on Poco X3 pro which originally had the 48mp camera.
It's possible, I didn't try it but the size of the connectors and location seem to all be the same so might work. Not sure 100% if the software will read it but won't know till you try I guess.
@@PBKreviews And if it does work, that means we can actually upgrade lol. I hope it works if you happen to try. 😁
@@justineemmanuelbolario6904 I would but I don't have the phones anymore unfortunately.
@@PBKreviews oh. That's unfortunate, It got me excited though. I Hope you still get the opportunity to try it though. Will be waiting for more of your vids.
@@justineemmanuelbolario6904 👍
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Nice detailed video thank for sharing
Thank you and you're welcome
if replacing the lcd display do they have to remove everything?
You would need to take off the back plate, as well as remove the top plastic cover over the main board and remove the battery so you will have access to disconnecting and removing the screen cable.
thank you, is there any after effect if my phone will be opened?
@@clover9545 the only thing I can think of is it would lose the original adhesive seal on the back plate unless an original pre cut adhesive seal was used again to seal it up.
@@PBKreviews thank you very much.
@@clover9545 you're welcome
6:20 😳😲😮🤯
nice video thank you look like they did not change much compare to F1 that i replace thermal enjoy it thank you
Thanks, and you're welcome
what difference battery model bn61 and bn57 ? can use model bn61 on poco x3 pro ?
One is a much larger battery compared to the other. You would not be able to fit the bn61 battery in the poco x3 pro.
