🔧 Repair Overview
Home Button Repair is one of the most common repairs for Xiaomi 14. This repair involves replacing the damaged input component with a new or refurbished part. The process typically takes 20-40 min and requires easy skill level.
🔧 Required Tools
What You'll Need
- Replacement input part (OEM or aftermarket)
- Precision screwdriver set (Phillips #000 or pentalobe)
- Opening tools (plastic spudger, suction cup)
- Adhesive strips or glue
- Clean workspace with good lighting
Step-by-Step Process
Step 1:
Turn off your Roborock S5.
Place it on a flat work surface.
Use an opening tool to carefully pry under the section of the top panel with the buttons.
Gently pull upward to snap the panel off the top of the vacuum. It is secured in place by five snaps that you will need to release to remove the panel.
This can take some force, and the snaps can be quite loud. Be careful not to break the panel.
Step 2:
Flip the panel over.
Peel the button pad off of the panel and set it aside.
The pad is secured with a strong adhesive. If there is remaining glue on the panel, it should be strong enough to hold the new button pad. In case the new button pad doesn't adhere properly, you can use a thin double-sided tape like [product|IF317-072|Tesa tape|new_window=true] to help secure it.
