If your iPhone dock is broken, or your iPhone is not connecting to the dock, you might need to replace the Apple lightning connector, which connects directly to your iPhone on one end, and to an internal circuit board on the other. You may want to use a magnetic project mat during this process to keep track of and organize the several small screws you will be working with.

    • Use a long Phillips #2 screwdriver to unscrew all six 10mm Phillips screws inside the bottom of the clock.

    • Turn over the device to allow the screws to fall out, being careful to catch them so that you do not lose any.

    • The screws may not come out of the bottom of the clock. As long as you have unscrewed them, the clock can still be opened.
