What You’re Getting
Is your fingerprint reader ignoring you every time you reach for the phone? A failing sensor cable is often the culprit, and this replacement flex cable gets you back to a quick unlock.
This grey fingerprint sensor flex cable is made for the Xiaomi Redmi Y1, also listed as the Note 5A. You receive one new cable, ready to fit in place of the worn or damaged original.
Each cable is checked for good condition before it leaves our warehouse, so you start with a part that is ready to go.
Compatibility
This flex is built for the Redmi Y1 (Note 5A) only. Check your model name in the phone’s settings before ordering, since the fit depends on the exact board layout.
Installation Notes
Professional fitting is the safest route, especially with a delicate ribbon like this. If you go DIY, switch off the phone and work on a clean, flat surface. Wear an ESD strap so static doesn’t damage the sensor. Lift connectors gently and never bend the cable past 90 degrees, or the traces can crack.
