##  How to Recover Data from a Broken Huawei Phone After a Failed Home Attempt? EXALAB Can Help

The Huawei phone came to us for diagnostics after a home attempt at data recovery. Fortunately, the user's intervention was not too severe, but it highlights the fact that attempting to recover data from a phone at home is not advisable. The phone had a damaged motherboard, destroyed battery, and a broken display. For phones with the Android operating system, it is crucial that the memory chip and processor are not damaged. Luckily, this was not such an extensive defect.

Replacing the display itself is not a very complicated task, but because most modern mobile phones are glued together, preparing without proper equipment is complicated, and using inappropriate tools can be dangerous for other phone components. Once the phone is opened, its internal structure needs to be disassembled, which involves unscrewing. Even this is not difficult with the right equipment. A problem can arise if a different screw is used during reassembly. Apple, in particular, is known for using many types of screws within a single device. If a longer screw is substituted, mechanical damage to the motherboard can occur during tightening, turning a display replacement into an expensive data recovery from a mechanically damaged phone.
