Nokia 6 Fingerprint Sensor Flex Cable Replacement

Q: How much does replacing the Nokia 6 Fingerprint Scanner in India cost?

The original Nokia 6 Fingerprint Sensor costs around Rs. 700-800 in India. It is a fingerprint strip with the middle fingerprint scanner button and side keys (Back and Recent). The softkey backlights are also included in the strip itself.

Q: The scanner doesn’t work after a software update. What is the issue?

If the fingerprint sensor problem appeared just after a software update, you probably don’t need to replace the scanner just yet. This problem can be due to the software itself, and you might need to downgrade the software version to see If the problem resolves itself. If everything fails, you can replace the fingerprint, but there is no guarantee that It will resolve the problem. The fingerprint sensor rarely stops working suddenly unless its cable is somehow damaged.

Q: How can I replace the Nokia 6 Fingerprint Sensor at home? 

Most definitely, you can not replace the fingerprint sensor at home. Unlike other phones, you must dismantle the display assembly to replace a fingerprint sensor. The scanner is underneath the display, so you can’t replace it without removing the display. Most customers order this product without understanding that replacement is not easy and you could easily damage the display during replacement because the fingerprint sensor goes under the display.

First, you must remove the display to change the fingerprint flex cable, which can be risky. A display is usually hardly pasted in the frame, and you can’t remove it easily. We’ve seen cases when the display cracks while trying to replace the fingerprint sensor. So, you should know this fact because if the display also cracks, you’ll need to spend more money to buy a new display.

Q: Is there any risk to the display while changing the fingerprint scanner?

Yes. The display can also be damaged if you do it hurriedly. To dismantle the display assembly, you need to get the help of an expert technician who is well-versed in such stuff. We often remove the display from the frame, and rarely, the display also cracks. We are not saying that It is impossible to remove the display safely, but it takes some expertise and patience. So always visit an expert technician to replace the fingerprint flex.

Q: The fingerprint scanner works, but the back key doesn’t. What should I do?

You still need to replace the complete fingerprint strip because the softkeys are also a part of fingerprint flex. So even If the only back or recent softkey is not working, you still need to opt for complete replacement because replacing an individual key is impossible.
