I have seen a few people struggling to find parts for the Xiaomi RedMi note 3 Special edition (AKA global edition, SE, Kate and 152mm :rolleyes: )

Here are some the I have found:

UPDATE [17 November 2017] :

One link with all the LCD options with and without frame on AliExpress

1- Housing/frame on aliexpress: It is a very very good idea to replace your frame when replacing your LCD, especially that it is $7 to $9 which makes it a no brainer



2- LCD, Digitizer, Display, Screen or whatever you want to call it for the KATE


3- Kate LCD, Digitizer, Display, screen with frame assembly Credit goes to @MyHTCFlyerProblems
One example


4- USB, charging and antennae board


5- Other parts



How to guide:



I have attached some screenshots hoping to save you a bit of time. All the best :fingers-crossed: :fingers-crossed:

Incredible. Thank you very much for your effort! @iakoboss7: I guess that the usb/power board is the same for Kate and Kenzo.
I can assure that the Redmi Note 2 3G ear speaker fits the Kate version and probably so does the Kenzo one.
Thanks mate, and yeah I believe they use the same Charging board as there is no reason for it to be different but again I am not sure.

Edit: You may want to add this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/LCD...ote-3-Pro-Note3-Pro-Prime-SE/32815691278.html
It's a full display already glued into its frame for the same price as without frame.
Yep, thanks for that. I will edit the main post. I always tick the "Free shipping" option which was not the best in this case :laugh:

Hello.

Just to give you a feedback.
I ordered the screen of the Link 1 and unfortunately there is a touch calibration problem.
The touchpad seems to be out of sync. When you type G, you have V for example (a kind of 5mm difference on all the screen). If you type on the upper part of the letter it's ok but not for the bottom part.

I sent a message to the seller. I will tell you if he answers me.

-- EDIT
Ok, He answered me very quickly but I'm not really convinced

The first step:,please take off the Lcd from the phone .
The Second step :please use the clean cloth to clean the phone motherboard flex table.
The Second step :please install the Lcd again ,press and hold the power button to force a reboot.
And then the problems will be solved .

Yes, thank you Kiwironic for your tip. The problem is not the price, it's take the phone to pieces and assemble it again.

Anyone has tried this one with the frame ?
Just follow the steps in this video:

The hardest part is getting the screen off the frame, you can use a hair drier and a suction cup to get them separated, or just order the LCD with frame and it should be much easier.
