Huawei P9 Teardown - Screen Replacement - Battery swap - Charging port fix

[@cozzer101]

I own this phone, and highly recommend it, and I'm pretty happy to see how easily it can be torn down without having to void my own warranty. I enjoy this channel, subbed :).

[@ude3453]

even me and my dad :)

[@robinhirv5845]

Battery are very bad on this phone

[@LyronAguiar]

Best thing about this phone is the design....wish Huawei made a similar designed one now

[@ude3453]

no I bought it 3 years ago and I never replaced a single thing in the phone @@robinhirv5845

[@zsofiaszobonya8571]

@@robinhirv5845 I have the phone for 3 years now, had zero problems with the battery whatsoever.

[@ShashankData]

I know it snapped in half like a twig but would you be able to do a teardown of a Nextbit Robin? Really interested in seeing how a start-up designs a phone!

[@Dude5375]

i have zero interest in buying this phone, but I looove your voice and your videos chill me down a lot. It is very impressive how easiely you can take apart electronics. Respect man!

[@supervegetto1087]

I would never repair any phone myself yet i don't know why your videos are so amusing and appealing to me.

[@VoloKinProject]

+Super Vegetto because Jerry makes entertaining videos in 4k. A friend of mine tried to replace his iPhone 5s' charging port and he ended up with no reception, cut 3 of his fingers with a knife (used instead of screwdriver) and a $100 repair bill.

[@debeastdueeast]

Your friend sounds like he should not be fixing things.

[@thatoneguycpr8997]

Jeez did he really cut off 3 whole fingers? Hope the guys okay.

[@debeastdueeast]

ThatOneGuyCpr I don't think he cut off, just nicked his fingers. He was using a knife instead of a screwdriver and his hands were probably slightly slippery.

[@supervegetto1087]

VoloKin Project I hope he didn't chopp his fingers off!

[@beafboy01]

This is fantastic. Very informative and educational. Brought a P9 recently, plan on having it for a couple of years. I know the battery will start dipping off its max charge eventually, and not having a "replaceable" battery is an issue, so this guide is great for me. Thanks, keep up the good work!

[@varikvalefor]

Thank you for unbiased videos. The industry needs more people like you.

[@HolyHenry-u2u]

A P9 in the pathology institute.. Please tell me that the phone was dead before examination. ;-) But, in earnest, I own a P9 myself and I am really impressed by your video having the opportunity to have a look inside. Incredible: after assembly it worked... Respect! Thx 4 posting!

[@ziyansanmgr2509]

Wow this channel sounds so professional and premium. This man is the best as compared to anyone out here on youtube regarding mobile technology. Thanks for the awesome videos.. Keep it up.

[@kgdl1907]

If not for your videos, that dual "leica" cameras would have sold me. Keep it up.

[@Tousty7]

Like how this phone is so simplistic, yes a couple of casings and screws but alot more doable than many other phones.

[@NewTaiger]

I have p9 long time and its the best review I ever saw. Question: after screenreplacement my phone become lagging and hot, my idea is to change termo pasta, will it help? Any other ideas? Thanks in advance!

[@joaotrovao8271]

I don't care about how to repair a P9 bc I don't have one. I came for the deep sarcastic voice...

[@tunabbq6455]

hahahaha lol

[@fwelstars7643]

Genius

[@wilsonyap2619]

Thank you for the video and useful information. I was going to buy this phone but have decided not to due to the misleading Leica branding. You are so neat, clean, precise and meticulous!!!! Awesome vid!!

[@jahrvatin]

This video just helped me replace the battery in my P9. Thank you so much for helping out, You rock! Regards from Slovenia

[@DracAxe]

Does replacement of battery fixes the overheating problem in this phone? It gets very hot while gaming I'm thinking of replacing battery myself but let me know if it fix the heating after that .

[@jahrvatin]

@@DracAxe I have never done much gaming so I cannot really answer you regarding overheating. All i know it fixed my phone dying after opening an app at 30-50% battery power.

[@DracAxe]

@@jahrvatin oh oky bro thanks no probz

[@celestinoconifra9444]

Nice quality and excellent camera placement. Thank you, just saved me a bit and taught me a skill!

[@elijahlastname2420]

I never have nor am interested in any of the products he reviews I'm still on iPad mini one... Yet I've been watching every video he makes for so long

[@dimiturstoikov1581]

Do you recommend it for me to buy it ? .. Just your opinion :)

[@dehidro]

aaand that is why the price of the p9 here in the eu countries droped from 549 to 349 because they were getting sued all over the place because of the camera and false advertising. And keep up the good work friend very helpful videos.

[@pandaiam]

Hey Jerry! When I look at the replacement screen, it doesn’t come with extension ribbon cable? Is that transferable and reusable, or must I order a new one? Also, same with the paste. Can I just scrape it over to the next phone or do you recommend a place to order new ones? Thanks so much.

[@jaychan2628]

Hi, I seen some disassembly videos using suction grips instead of using pry tool like you have shown. What would you say is easier to use the pry or suction grips? Absolutely new to this and wanting to replace a chipped Huawei P9 rear housing. Looks simple. But could be just me. Would you say it's easy enough to replace rear housing for a complete newbie like myself? and anything I should be wary about? Thanks

[@ax1236]

i have a question, i wanna swap my battery but do I have to do all of this like until 4:08?

[@macinstosh9557]

i was just looking around youtube and found this channel and its pretty bomb man. ik you probably wont do this since the phone is kinda old now, but could you do a drop/water test of the honor 8 and/or a tear down of Huawei Honor 8?

[@themilestonelp1524]

I recently repaired the digitizer on my first smartphone (LG optimus lii or something like that). Was really easy, only a very little adhesive betweed digitizer and screen. The Phone was incredibly thick, 12.2 mm, cause the Mainboard wasn't L shaped arround the battery, it was under the battery. All in all a successful repair, paid only 4.44 € for a used new digitizer. Now working again!

[@infamousX]

Do u need to heat the display (because of the glue) if u want to replace it ? Or u can just do it by force ?

[@EvaaD93]

Hey thanks for the video. The WiFi and bluetooth stopped working on mine so I replaced the antenna which has fixed the Bluetooth and did fix the WiFi for about 24 hours but now the WiFi has gone back to not wanting to turn on, is there any other components that I can replace that are to do with WiFi?

[@maxdm1583]

Jerry, could you please do a tear-down of YotaPhone 2. Thanks!

[@rodrigoduque1275]

Sir, what about elephone p9000? Do you have plan to test its durability? Thanks for those great fearless videos.. 💪👍

[@Maochan81]

Nice vid, but i don't understand the rant about the camera. Every freakin' phone manufacturer is using the same picture for marketing. Of course those element are not that thick, but i assure you they are in there. The lens cover on the back side of the phone is just the cover, the lenses are in the dual lens metal housing. You'd have to disassemble that (but will screw the camera). You need several lens elements to get a proper picture and to be able to auto focus.

[@JerryRigEverything]

I agree with you, and normally wouldnt mention it. But with all the other aspects of their shady marketing (like using a DSLR) Its the frosting on the cake that people should know about.

[@Maochan81]

Yeah, i have to agree with the shady marketing. No need to lie about a great phone, it's well built and takes great pictures. Marketing people are sometimes so stupid, forgetting that false advertising will sooner or later stab you in the back.

[@xbt2459]

Your deep sarcastic voice shows your hate towards this Chinese phone manufacturer.Did Carl Zeiss make the camera of Lumia 1020? lmao

[@TonymanCS]

You think Carl Zeiss primarily makes cameras??? Oh dear.

[@hyroproto4364]

really ? wonder why he likes the oneplus 3 very much then ?

[@botanicalchaos]

Hey Zack, can you do a durability test on the moto g4

[@TheCrowsClaw]

What about trying to replace stock thermal compound with some thick pc thermal compound and comparing benchmark/stress tests? Does it even make sense? I dunno if P9 has any thermal throttling issues but maybe it might help a bit... ?

[@SurtThur]

I would also like to know, if this was necessary/useful or even harmful...

[@TheMayor5000]

Dude you are amazing and your videos are very educational and fun. Thank you.

Wow, looks like a very high repair-ability score!

I can't wait! :) P.S ZTE Axon 7 is making its US debut on 27 July according to a reliable source at a price of $399 (Just like Oneplus 3; Tough Competition to OP) Hope this Info helps out Zack! :)

it looks as nice as the sansung quality phones, but not as much as the iphones

[@dmitrybain6820]

great love your work u should do that full time with plenty of phones

Zack, The replacement frame link no longer exists. Can you link a new frame replacement. Also, the battery replacement link doesn't work as well.

Can we all give him respect for either rebuilding that device or playing the break-down in reverse :P

Could you pleeease test the One Plus one too? I'm missing that phone from this channel :( I've got it and I'm curious how it will stand up in terms of durability :o

[@travusdv7679]

The link for the screenreplacement part stopped working, would be nice if you were able to correct it :)

[@luki7151]

Thank you for doing those durability/teardown/camera test videos. I enjoy watching all of them :) It's entertaining to see where smartphone technology is heading in terms of build quality and its construction inside with some additional jokes around :D Also, thanks to you, i have started tinkering with smartphones, and i must say, that i really got to like this. I have just finished cleaning friends old Xperia SP's front camera from dust :) Greetings and keep on making new interesting videos!

[@RontheHHOMan]

for some reason, I like this phone. I have never held one but would like to own one

[@classicafl]

Looks awesome

[@mikldude9376]

I have held one Ron , they feel very very nice to hold , there is a lot too like about the device , there are imo some short comings you have to be prepared to accept though if you buy one , from memory video is very average , no 4k video , 1080 p screen which is probably not so bad on the smaller p9 , also it is a chinese device , and if warranty is needed how is availability for support ? In my country (australia )huawei is still scarce in stores except for possibly the 6p which you find everywhere . Some reviewers dont like the em ui skin , , while im not crazy on all of it , i think it does have some cool features . i did think about buying the bigger brother P9 plus , as i just dont like small screen phones , but cannot find one store that sells the P9 plus other than on line importers ....and im not so keen on that . looking at tons of reviews about this device , imo it should really be classed as high mid ranger (even though by its looks and feel you would say it is even better than that ) , same as the p9 plus and even the mate 8 , imo they just dont quite tick all the boxes the super high end other brand models do , despite having very good presentation and being what appears to be very good overall devices . Knowing all this ..... i`m still tempted :) .

[@classicafl]

mikldude Being in Australia too, the Huawei P9 is pretty much the first Huawei phone to be marketed and sold at all carriers

[@mikldude9376]

+sebbellic01 probably mate , yes.

[@AcasualGamer1]

Actually they tend to have one service center in each country where they officially sell their phones. Their HiCare app shows you that and gives you means to contact them directly: phone, email, postal address. And forum, software updates based on IMEI check. Their service is outstanding from what I've experienced so far: I did unofficial software upgrades and downgrades on a P6 and a P8 and managed to brick them eventually. In 2014 they returned to me the P6 fully functional with its motherboard replaced and in 2016 they didn't return my P8, they gave me a new one instead. Both times I was fully aware they could've checked and would've been right to deny the warranty (I tampered with the software). They didn't. Maybe they wanted a customer and they got one, especially considering the build quality. Service time was maximum 10 days in both cases. Btw, I'm residing in East EU. Sorry for the long post but I had the same concern and no one could give me advice (until I checked with the P6)

[@evolution.of.change]

Hi. Great video... But where is the GPS antenna on this phone ? can someone point me in the right direction please ?

[@nenadmilicevic1315]

Hello Jerry! Can you please tell me what could be rattling in P9 when you tap the upper part of the phone, or when you put it down on the hard surfaces? Many people say that camera parts moves. But i'v tried one other P9 and it didn't rattled.

[@pix3lperfect69]

Will you do testing of Xperia xa.. Or any new Xperia?

[@SteveLai-u6i]

when you take apart the redmi 3 pro?

Dear Sir, I wish to send you a very big THANK for this absolutely amazingly done teardown and replacement process of the Huawei P9! Never seen a better and so perfectly commented and clearly described remounting the replacement screen and the battery as well! Just excellent and great job you done sir! Wish you all the very Best always! /Best regards, Charl PS. Subscription is mandatory for me! Thank you so very very much! A question, do you think that the bigger brother HUAWEI P9 Plus may have the similar interior if you would teardown the model also? and would you always recommend to protect the screen with an additional screen-protector in some sort of thin layer-glass? Thanks a lot if you have time and opportunity to maybe answer my questions here!

[@RasalGhul-e3u]

Jerry, please do Xperia X Perfomance videos as well!

[@nemure]

That thermal paste, I only see it on huawei. The rest of the brands don't use it?

[@expectgamingbgmi]

I have a huawei p9 the problem with the phone is that it loses charge in seconds even after it is fully charged I consulted a mobile repair shop nearby and they told me that there is no problem with the battery and it was with the board and said that it was unfixable! Please respond to my comment and please tell me whether the phone is fixable or not the phone is very important to me please respond

[@SenalEvans]

Jerry when do you test Xperia X or X Perfomence :( Now many requsts for you..

Hi, I have screen issue with this phone. It goes dark, comes and goes as you press the on off button. I never dropped it.. The phone is in immaculate condition.. Since I replaced the battery in it this problem started. Any advice what may be causing this issue and how I could fix it please? Would really appreciate it if you could help, thanks!

[@Ask_Unc]

what phone as of now do you prefer (What phone would you be using right now if you could be using any phone)

[@basharshehab5803]

I like how you do these educational videos while keeping the humor in it "Don't eat that" LOL 😂 anyway I really was disappointed with the P9 because of the awfully huge amount of false advertising, never gonna look at Huawei the same way again. is there any chance you would do a video on the X and X Performance?

I really love my P9 and I was, and still am, sad that I had to replace it with the Mate 10 Pro thanks to it not charging. Now at least I know how to get to the charging port and maybe I can get it fixed. Not sure what I'll do with the spare M10P...
