Repair parts TCL 50 SE
Receive it on wednesday 28 de october
In this section, you’ll find parts for the TCL 50 SE, TCL’s 4G model with a 6.78-inch, 90 Hz display, a 5010 mAh battery and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. Parts are available in Original and Premium quality, whether you’re repairing your own phone or run a repair shop and occasionally work on TCL’s 50 series. Before placing your order, check the model code: the 50 SE has siblings in the 40 and 50 series that look very similar.
T611B or T611B1: how to check that you have a TCL 50 SE
The TCL 50 SE is sold under two model codes: T611B, the 4 GB RAM and 128 GB variant, and T611B1, the 6 GB and 256 GB variant. The box and product listings often include a suffix (for example, T611B1-2ALCA112) that identifies the colour and market configuration. Parts in this category are listed for the TCL 50 SE in general, with no distinction between the two versions.
On the phone, go to Settings > System > About phone to see the model name and regulatory information. According to TCL support, the IMEI is also shown on a label on the device or engraved on the SIM tray; dialling *#06# displays it on screen. If the phone won’t turn on, the quickest way to identify the model is to check the label on the box.
Take care with sibling models. The 4G TCL 40 NxtPaper has almost the same dimensions and weight, but it has three rear cameras, while the 50 SE has two. The TCL 50 5G and TCL 50 NxtPaper are different models, although they share the battery with the 50 SE. The 50 SE supports 4G only and is powered by a Helio G88: if your phone has 5G, it’s another model in the series.
What’s included in each part listed for the TCL 50 SE
5010 mAh cell with codes TLP049DA and TLP049D9
The 50 SE comes with a 5010 mAh battery that supports 33 W fast charging. Its code is TLP049DA, also listed as TLP049D9, and this same cell is used in the 4G 40 NxtPaper, the 50 5G and the 50 NxtPaper. That’s why you have these two options:
- The 5010 mAh compatible battery for TCL 50 SE (TLP049DA / TLP049D9), in Premium quality, the part listed specifically for this model.
- The 5010 mAh TLP049DA battery for TCL 40 NxtPaper 4G, also in Premium quality, with the same code and capacity. It’s a practical option for repair shops working on several models that use this cell.
The battery isn’t user-removable: it sits inside the phone, beneath the back cover. Replacement batteries for this part number available on the market usually include adhesive, indicating that the cell is bonded to the frame. Check the code printed on the cell, rather than relying only on the model name in the product title.
Midnight Blue rear cover
We have the original TCL 50 SE back cover in Midnight Blue, the colour TCL markets as Midnight Blue. The back cover is plastic and has the dual-texture finish (one glossy section and one matte section) specified by TCL for this model. An Original part is the most reliable way to maintain this look. If your 50 SE is Space Grey, please note that this category only has the back cover in Midnight Blue.
As it’s made of plastic rather than glass, no laser is needed to remove it. The listing doesn’t specify whether the camera lens or other accessories are included, so check which parts from the old cover you’ll need to transfer to the new one before ordering. The 40 NxtPaper cover isn’t compatible because its camera module is different.
Two original parts: USB-C charging port and side-mounted fingerprint sensor
The 50 SE has a USB-C 2.0 connector. The original USB charging port for TCL 50 SE is a manufacturer part with no modifications, making it the right choice when the connector needs replacing. The cable and charger also affect 33 W charging, so after replacing the port, test charging with a compatible charger.
The TCL 50 SE’s fingerprint reader is on the side, not under the display. The original fingerprint flex sensor is the Original quality part for this model’s side-mounted reader.
Fingerprint sensor, shared battery and other TCL 50 SE details
After replacing the fingerprint reader, we recommend deleting the saved fingerprints and registering them again under Settings > Security & biometrics > Fingerprint, as advised by TCL support. The TCL documentation we reviewed doesn’t mention any software pairing between the board and the sensor, battery or charging port.
Since the battery is shared with several models in the 40 and 50 series, it’s easy to come across TLP049DA cells labelled for another phone. Some technical specifications list the 50 SE battery as 5000 mAh, although TCL’s official figure is 5010 mAh, which is the capacity stated for both batteries in this category.
Frequently asked questions about the TCL 50 SE and its sibling models
Is the TCL 40 NxtPaper 4G battery compatible with the TCL 50 SE?
Yes, as long as it’s part number TLP049DA. Both batteries are 5010 mAh and use the same cell, so you can use either of the batteries available in this category.
Can I fit the TCL 40 NxtPaper back cover on my 50 SE?
No. Although the dimensions are almost identical, the 40 NxtPaper has three rear cameras, while the 50 SE has two, so the openings won’t line up.
Does the TCL 50 SE have an in-display fingerprint sensor?
No, the reader is on the side of the device. So if the fingerprint reader stops working, the part to replace is the sensor flex cable, not the display.
How can I tell a T611B from a T611B1?
The T611B is the 4 GB and 128 GB version, while the T611B1 is the 6 GB and 256 GB version. Both are the same TCL 50 SE, and parts in this category are listed for the model without distinguishing between versions.
