(with | without NFC)
Last Updated: 27.03.2019(with | without NFC)
Warning
- Proceed at your own risk. I'm not responsible for bricked MB3!!!
- The body cover of the Mi Band 3 is permanently glued to the factory. When the body cover of the Mi Band 3 is opened, waterproofness is lost !!!
- It may also damage the internal electronics of the device (meganic damage, electrostatic discharge, etc.) !!!
Introduction
This thread includes instructions for gentle opening the Mi Band 3 body cover without any visible damage to the cover. The instructions are the same as for with NFC or without NFC versions of Mi Band 3.You will need
- Wedge Door Stoppers (Wooden or plastic. Without any indentation on the wedge surface) for partial opening of the body cover of the Mi Band 3 (https://www.amazon.com/Wooden-Stopper-Stoppers-Surfaces-Woodgrain/dp/B01M27ZQ0D).
- Standard Guitar Pick of approx. 0.73 mm to complete the opening of the bodycover of the Mi Band 3 (Dunlop Tortex Guitar Picks 0,73 Pack of 12).
Procedure
- Partially opening the body cover of the Mi Band 3 with the use of a Wedge Door Stoppers.
Take the wedge and push it gradually on both edges of Mi band 3, so the cover is partially opened for subsequent insertion of the guitar pick.
- Completely opening the body cover of the Mi Band 3 with a guitar pick.
Using the guitar pick, we drive the entire body of the holster to completely break off the upper and lower body parts of the Mi Band 3.
The body of the case Mi band 3 can be glued together, so there is no visible damage, but unfortunately the case does not have to be waterproof, depending on the quality of the case sealing.
