Use this guide to repair a broken or faulty display in your OnePlus 7T smartphone.

Before disassembling your device, be sure the battery is charged below 25%. If accidentally punctured or damaged, the battery can catch fire and/or explode; if discharged below 25%, the chances of fire/explosion is decreased. Be sure to power off the device before beginning the disassembly process.

Follow the iOpener Heating guide for instructions on using the iOpener.

    • Use a heat gun to lightly heat the edges of the back to soften the adhesive that connects the back cover to the rest of the frame.

    • Using a heat gun, hair dryer, or hot plate will make the metal frame rather hot to the touch, so handle it with care.

    • Be careful not to overheat the device –the OLED display, battery and other internal parts can be damaged by excessive heat. Approximately one minute should be enough to soften the adhesive.

    • An iFixit iOpener, hairdryer, or hot plate can also be used to heat the edges. See the iOpener Heating guide for instructions on using the iOpener.
