Overview
What this part is
In the Xiaomi Mi A3, the display signal passes through an internal flex cable. A drop, a pinch during a repair or corrosion can damage the flex, so the screen goes black, flickers or shows lines even though the display itself is fine.
This part replaces that flex cable only. It does not replace the screen. Check the old flex for tears or burnt marks and compare it with the photos before fitting. If the screen glass or panel is cracked, you need a new screen instead.

Professional installation
How a technician fits this part
- Power the phone off and remove the SIM tray.
- Warm the Mi A3 glass back to soften the adhesive and lift it off slowly with a thin pick.
- Disconnect the battery before touching any other connector.
- Unplug the old flex cable at both ends and remove any shields or screws holding it.
- Fit the new flex in the same route, making sure it is not pinched or folded.
- Reconnect the battery, test the display and touch, then close the phone.
Check that the part matches the device before fitting it or removing any adhesive backing. Once a part has been fitted, it cannot be returned for a change of mind. Faulty parts are always covered.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Will this fit my Mi A3?
Yes, if Settings › About phone shows Mi A3. It also fits the Mi CC9e. It does not fit the Mi A2, Mi A2 Lite, Mi 9 Lite, Mi Mix 3 or any other model.
Does it fit the Mi 9 Lite?
No. The Mi 9 Lite is a different phone with a different internal layout. This part is for the Mi A3 only.
How do I know the flex is the problem and not the screen?
If the screen glass and panel are undamaged but the picture flickers when the phone flexes, or the old flex is torn or corroded, the flex is the likely cause. Testing with a known good screen confirms it.
Is it made by Xiaomi?
No. It is a brand new, OEM-quality lcd flex cable made to fit the Xiaomi Mi A3, and it is tested before dispatch.
Should I fit it myself?
We recommend professional installation. The glass back is glued on and needs heat to remove, and the battery must be disconnected first.
