Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G Screen Replacement Cost, Symptoms, Parts & Step-by-Step Guide

If your Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G has a cracked front glass, unresponsive touch, or display lines, you’re not alone, these are the most common symptoms that require a screen replacement. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G has a large screen Dot Drop HD+ display so replacing the front module needs the correct assembly (glass + digitizer + display module) and the right tools. This guide explains how to diagnose screen damage, what parts to buy, how much it typically costs in Kenya, and a responsible high-level step-by-step replacement overview for qualified technicians.

Quick facts

• Common replacement part: front cover display module (digitizer assembly). Official spare parts exist on Xiaomi’s parts store.
• Typical Kenya repair cost range (labor + parts): roughly KSh 3,000–KSh 8,000 depending on OEM vs aftermarket and shop.

Who should read this

• owners deciding between DIY vs professional repair.

• Repair shops that want an SEO-ready page (use the template below).

• Buyers evaluating OEM vs aftermarket screen quality.

Symptoms that mean you likely need a screen replacement

1. Cracked or shattered outer glass (visible fracture spreading).

2. No display or black screen with power on (backlight dead).

3. Lines, flicker, or colored bands on the panel.

4. Touch unresponsive, ghost touches or large dead touch zones.

5. Spots or discoloration under the glass (digitizer damage).

If you see any of the above, stop using the phone and backup important data (cloud or PC) before repair.

OEM vs Aftermarket parts — which to choose?

OEM (Original Xiaomi) parts

• Pros: best color match, touch response and brightness closest to stock. Official modules are listed on Xiaomi spare parts outlets.

• Cons: higher cost, sometimes limited local stock.

High-quality aftermarket

• Pros: lower cost, easier local availability (e.g., device parts markets or online marketplaces).

• Cons: variable quality (color, brightness, touch latency), risk of poor fit or warranty void.

Recommendation: For customers who want like-new display, prefer OEM. For low budget or temporary fixes, choose a reputable aftermarket with warranty.

High-level step-by-step replacement (for trained technicians)

This is a high-level overview meant for shops and trained technicians. I won’t list dangerously detailed actions that could cause damage if attempted by an inexperienced person.

1. Backup & power off the phone, remove SIM tray.

2. Heat the rear or front edge to soften adhesive (controlled heat).

3. Open frame with suction + plastic picks, lift carefully to avoid bending the midframe.

4. Disconnect battery to prevent shorts (first internal step after opening).

5. Disconnect display flex cable(s) (note connector locations from a teardown video or service manual.

6. Remove old display assembly (outer glass + digitizer + display), clean the frame of old adhesive.

7. Fit new display module (test display before final adhesive seating — power on with flex connected to check).

8. Apply adhesive, reseat, reconnect battery, reassemble. Test touch, brightness, proximity sensor, and fingerprint (if applicable).

9. Run diagnostic checks for dead pixels, touch response, and calibration.

10. Seal & QC — ensure uniform adhesion and no lifting.
