Einleitung

In dieser Anleitung wird gezeigt, wie du das defekte Display deines iPhone 8 Plus reparieren kannst. Dieses Ersatzteil ist schon mit der Frontkamera, dem Ohrhörer-Lautsprecher und der LCD-Abschirmung ausgestattet, dadurch vereinfacht sich die Reparatur. Wenn diese Teile nicht bei deinem Ersatzdisplay dabei sind, dann folge stattdessen dieser Anleitung.

Du musst nur noch das alte Display ausbauen und den Home Button auf das Ersatzteil übertragen, so dass Touch-ID weiterhin funktioniert.

Hinweis: Wenn die automatische Helligkeitseinstellung des iPhones nach der Reparatur des Displays nicht mehr richtig funktioniert, dann musst du auf iOS 12 updaten. True Tone funktioniert nach einem Displaytausch nicht mehr, selbst wenn ein originales Display von Apple verwendet wird.

Werkzeuge

Ersatzteile

Schritt 1

Bevor du anfängst, entlade den Akku deines iPhones auf unter 25%. Ein geladener Lithium-Ionen Akku kann Feuer fangen und/oder explodieren, wenn er versehentlich beschädigt wird.
Schalte dein iPhone aus, bevor du daran arbeitest.
Wenn du ein iPhone öffnest, werden die Dichtungen des iPhones beschädigt. Halte eine Ersatzdichtung bereit, bevor du mit diesem Schritt fortfährst, oder achte darauf, dass keine Flüssigkeit eindringt, wenn du dein iPhone ohne Dichtung zusammen baust.
Drehe die beiden 3,5 mm Pentalobe Schrauben an der unteren Kante heraus.

what do I do about super stripped screws?

Ean Palacios - 13/09/20

I’m sorry, your comment slipped past my radar earlier. For future fixers that might see this and ask the same question, you can check out our stripped screw guide for some detailed advice.

Adam O'Camb - 29/03/21

Do you need a toolkit like the essential toolkit

Adam Palmer - 26/12/20

Hi Adam. Having a tool kit with all of the listed parts above is best. The screw heads are very small and each set of screws needs a very specific type of driver to remove them without stripping any of them.

Kyle Luksa - 26/03/21

Schritt 2

Wenn dein Display zerbrochen ist, dann solltest du ein weiteres Zerbrechen verhindern und Verletzungen während der Reparatur vermeiden, indem du Klebeband auf der Glasscheibe befestigst.
Klebe überlappende Streifen von durchsichtigem Paketband über das Display des iPhones, bis die ganze Frontscheibe bedeckt ist.
Das hält die Glasscherben zusammen und sorgt füreigen strukturellen Zusammenhalt beim Hebeln und Hochheben des Displays.
Schütze deine Augen während der Reparatur mit einer Schutzbrille vor herausfliegenden Glassplittern.
Wenn die Scheibe so stark geplittert ist, dass du den Saugheber während der nächsten Schritte nicht ansetzen kannst, dann kannst du versuchen, ein sehr starkes Stück Klebeband (etwa Panzerband) zu einem Griff zu falten und aufzukleben. Versuche dann das Display damit anzuheben. (so wie im dritten Bild gezeigt)

Tape doesn’t hold. suction cup doesn’t work. Tape folded over doesn’t work as a handle. I’ve used 3m’ s Gorilla duct tape. The glass is so shattered I cant get a point started to remove the glass. Phone has been in an otter box for years. dropped it and shattered glass while replacing case. Now what?

Martin Speedy - 06/07/18

When all else fails, you can superglue your suction cup (or tape) to the display, wait for it to cure, and pull.

Jeff Suovanen - 06/07/18

I had issues getting the suction cup to stick on my cracked screen, so I tried using scotch tape (only tape I had around), but it didn’t work. This best thing I did was to forcefully pry the screen off (I wasn’t worried about damages because it’s already cracked) with the spudger. I think its best to find something stickier (like Duct Tape) and used that to lift up the screen.

Definitely surprised how sticky the adhesive was.

Jeffrey Robinos - 28/09/18

When using packing tape: the suction won’t hold well with the overlapping pieces, so add a square of tape where you want to put the suction cup, so it will provide an unbroken surface for the seal.

Christa - 23/10/18

It’s amazing how a heat gun or hair dryer makes life easier to soften up the adhesive. Then use a thin iSesame opening tool to get in under the screen (start @ 90 degrees/vertical either side of the home button & slowly go horizontal) the need to use suction cups. Run the opening tool along the front and down both sides to cut the adhesive before trying to lift the screen.

Cheers Wayne

Wayne Lyell - 14/11/18

I didn’t have a hair dryer so I (gingerly) used an iron over some wet coffee filters (I mean , it is waterproof) . Then, quickly dried i off with paper towels, used gorilla tape and my fixit metal splunger . worked like a charm .

MajorCouillon - 17/10/20

What about baby cracks? skip to step 3 or not…

Andruw Holland - 10/12/20

As others have mentioned, suction cup and tape doesn’t work. I used the blade of a box cutter (watch fingers) and inserted just below and right of home button. Then moved spudger along the crack to tear adhesive/seal. Easy peasy.

Stephen Smith - 18/05/21

Schritt 3

Es ist leichter das iPhone zu öffnen, wenn du das untere Ende erwärmst. Du weichst so die Verklebungen auf.
Du kannst das untere Ende des iPhones mit einem Haartrockner oder einem iOpener erwärmen. Wende die Wärme 90 Sekunden lang an, um den Kleber aufzuweichen.

Schritt 4

Wir haben die Anti-Clamp entwickelt, um das Öffnen von Geräten zu erleichtern. Die nächsten beiden Schritte zeigen, wie sie verwendet wird. Wenn du sie nicht benutzen willst, überspringe die nächsten zwei Schritte und folge einer anderen Methode.
Genaue Anweisungen für die Anti-Clamp findest du hier.
Drücke den blauen Griff zum Scharnier hin, um den Öffnungsmodus einzustellen.
Setze die beiden Saugnäpfe direkt über dem Home Button am Display auf, einen auf der Vorder-, den anderen auf der Rückseite.
Drücke die Saugheber auf den Oberflächen fest.
Wenn die Saugheber nicht gut auf den Flächen haften, dann klebe Paketband darüber.

Schritt 5

Drücke den blauen Griff vom Scharnier weg in die Stellung für den Öffnungsmodus.
Drehe den Griff im Uhrzeigersinn, bis du merkst, dass sich die Saugheber dehnen.
Achte darauf, dass sich die Saugheber weiterhin gegenüber stehen. Wenn sie sich nicht mehr gegenüber stehen, dann löse die Saugheber ein wenig ab und schiebe sie in die richtige Position.
Warte eine Minute, damit sich der Kleber allmählich ablösen kann und sich das Display unten löst.
Wenn es nicht gelingt, mit der Anti-Clamp einen ausreichend großen Spalt zu erzeugen, dann erwärme die Stelle nochmals und drehe den Griff eine halbe Umdrehung im Uhrzeigersinn weiter.
Drehe den Griff jeweils nicht mehr als eine halbe Umdrehung weiter und warte jedes Mal eine Minute lang. Gib der Anti-Clamp Zeit, ihre Arbeit zu erledigen.
Überspringe die nächsten zwei Schritte .

Schritt 6

Setze einen Saugnapf auf die untere Hälfte der Vorderseite , direkt über dem Home Button.
Passe dabei auf, dass der Saugnapf nicht den Home Button bedeckt. Er kann sonst nicht dicht abschließen.
Wenn dein Display stark gesplittert ist, dann haftet der Saugheber vielleicht besser, wenn du die Scheibe mit durchsichtigem Paketband abdeckst. Du kannst anstelle des Saughebers auch sehr kräftiges Klebeband benutzen. Wenn das alles nicht hilft, dann klebe den Saugheber mit Sekundenkleber an der zerbrochenen Scheibe fest.

Warning ! If you pull too hard (reheat the underside of the display again), you create an gap of air between the glass and the lcd display !

When you replace the display assembly you end up with gray stains on the display.

Result: you have to buy a new display (assembly).

Arnoud - 27/09/20

Using just the single suction cup that is included in the battery replacement kit probably wouldn’t open the device. An iOpener and an iSlack should be the recommended method. However, you can get it open with just the single suction cup and iOpener, but does take a lot of time.

Get an iOpener and iSlack with the battery replacement kit.

Chris - 30/09/20

I used a flat x-acto (#18) blade knife tool to gently pry back the screen enough to allow me to insert the pick near the bottom corner. I then worked the pick under the screen as mentioned in steps 5 & 6 below then. This worked really well for me.

Kyle Luksa - 26/03/21

I used the suction cup without heating the phone - the adhesive came away quite easily without applying any heat. Maybe due to age of phone (nearly 4 years old). Worth trying.

Ben Vinnerd -

I can’t get the single suction cup to work. Hate being stuck on the simplest step!

Donny -

My screen was very shattered, and was quite hard to get suction, as my tape was very low quality. However, after pulling it up a little bit, I was able to insert a regular razor blade into the very small gap and used that as a lever.

Michael Scroop -

Schritt 7

Ziehe gleichmäßig und fest am Saugnapf. Es sollte sich ein kleiner Spalt zwischen Front Panel und Rückgehäuse bilden.
Setze ein Plektrum oder ein dünnes Hebelwerkzeug ein paar Millimeter in den Spalt ein.
Die wasserdichte Verklebung am Display ist sehr stark. Um den Spalt zu öffnen, musst du recht viel Kraft aufbringen. Wenn du Schwierigkeiten hast den Spalt zu erzeugen, solltest du nochmals Wärme anwenden, dann die Scheibe hoch und runter ruckeln, um so die Klebeverbindung zu schwächen.

After multiple tries and using a very hot iOpener, it will not open.

Kenneth Ewald, Sr. -

In sheer frustration, I pulled out my trusty pocket knife and managed to lift the bottom of the screen slightly, but in the process, cracked the glass from the bottom to the home button. The case is open now.

Kenneth Ewald, Sr. -

this was by far the most difficult part. be diligent and follow the “firm and constant pressure” guide... the “gap” will be extremely “slight”. you will be able to slide a corner of the pry tool even if you cannot see the gap.

Colleen V -

Schritt 8

Schiebe das Plektrum um die Ecke und entlang der linken Kante nach oben in Richtung der Tasten für die Lautstärkeregelung und des Stummschalters. Trenne so die Klebeverbindung des Displays auf.
Halte vor der oberen linken Ecke an.

Do not go over the top otherwise you can crack the screen. Sadly happened to me :(

The instruction should be:

“Stop near BUT BEFORE REACHING the top left corner of the display”

Leonardo Piga -

Schritt 9

Setze das Plektrum an der rechten unteren Ecke ein. Schiebe es um die Ecke herum, dann entlang der rechten Kante nach oben. Trenne dadurch die Verklebung.
Setze das Plektrum nicht zu tief ein, du könntest auf dieser Seite diverse Displaykabel beschädigen. Schiebe es nur wenige Millimeter tief ein, ungefähr in der Breite des Displayrahmens.

I had really good luck using a hairdryer on some of the more stubborn portions of adhesive.

Jessica Kirsh - 05/09/20

Schritt 10

Hebe vorsichtig den Saugnapf an und mit ihm den unteren Teil des Displays.
Hebe das Display maximal 15° an. Du könntest sonst die Flachbandkabel des Displays überdehnen und beschädigen.

Schritt 11

Ziehe an der kleinen Lasche am Saugnapf, um ihn vom Front Panel zu lösen.

Schritt 12

Schiebe das Plektrum unter das Display und die Oberkante entlang, um die letzte Klebeverbindung zu trennen.

Be very careful at this step. The glass at the top will break very easy when the display is lifted too much.

Gerdschi D -

Schritt 13

Schiebe die Displayeinheit leicht nach unten, weg von der Oberkante, um die Rasten, mit denen sie am Rückgehäuse gehalten wird, zu lösen.

Schritt 14

Öffne das iPhone, indem du das Display von der linken Seite her aufklappst, so wie man die Seite eines Buches umschlägt
Versuche noch nicht, das Display ganz zu trennen. Verschiedene empfindliche Flachbandkabel verbinden es noch mit dem Logic Board.
Lehne das Display an einen geeigneten Gegenstand, um es gut zu stützen, während du weiter am iPhone arbeitest.

Das “links” ist auf dem Foto rechts.

Matze Diamond - 13/10/19

Das ist falsch. Wenn man auf das iPhone sieht, ist der Home Button unten. Auf dem Photo ist deutlich sichtbar, dass die linke Seite angehoben wird.

Hans -

Schritt 15

Entferne die vier Kreuzschlitzschrauben (JIS) mit denen die untere Display Kabel Halterung auf auf der Platine angeschlossen ist:
Zwei 1,3 mm Schrauben
Eine 1,4 mm Schraube
Eine 2,7 mm Schraube
Behalte in dieser Anleitung deine Schrauben sorgfältig im Auge, so dass jede Schraube beim Zusammenbau wieder dorthin zurückkehrt, wo sie hergekommen ist. Die Installation einer Schraube an der falschen Stelle kann dauerhafte Schäden verursachen.

The Phillips screwdriver bit is the PH000. The measurement refers to the screw length.

Jack Harry -

Schritt 16

Entferne die Halterung am unteren Displaykabel.

Schritt 17

Hebele den Akkuanschluss mit der Spudgerspitze aus seinem Sockel auf dem Logic Board.
Biege das Akku Anschlusskabel etwas weg vom Logic Board, um zu verhindern, dass es sich versehentlich wieder mit dem Akku verbindet und das iPhone während der Reparatur unter Spannung setzt.

When I reassembled the iPhone 8 Plus, I had to plug it into a Lightning cable to wake it up (just pushing power button wasn’t sufficient).

browniestarmite - 13/01/19

Schritt 18

Hebele den breiten unteren Displayverbinder mit der Spudgerspitze oder mit dem Fingernagel gerade aus seinem Sockel.
Um Druckverbinder wie diesen wieder anzuschließen, musst du erst auf einer Seite herunterdrücken, dann auf der anderen. Drücke nicht in der Mitte. Wenn der Verbinder auch nur ein bisschen daneben sitzt, kann er sich verbiegen und irreparabel beschädigt werden.

I got hold of a iPhone 8 Plus with cracked screen that I am planning to fix.

Here is my problem:

When I tried to take out the screen from my phone, (step 15-18) I was curious about the new screen, so I tried to connect it. It was completely dead! Then I tried the old cracked one, and suddenly that was dead to! This is a phone that some fool has been inside earlier and changed battery, but I suspect he has done some more really stupid things. The Taptic Engine is living its own life and vibrating every time I slightly touch the home button. (I have a new Taptic Engine) The phone is also full of dust and small particles that does not belong there. One tri-point Y000 screw (step 18) is even missing! Now the biggest problem is that both screens are black! I know the phone is on, because I hear voice command speak when I turn on the power. The screen worked before I tried to change it? And one last thing: My new LCD screen came with new flex cables. Is it possible to switch over, so I can use the old ones?

smikalsen - 18/10/20

Hi,

Is your problem solved?

Daniel Leprince - 11/01/21

Be careful of damaging MOSFETs by the LH side of the large lower display cable. After replacing the battery and turning the device on, the phone showed low charge and didn't have a charging symbol even after plugging into multiple cables and chargers. Turns out I had damaged the logic board attempting to disconnect the connector.

Chris Cerrudo -

Schritt 19

Löse den Verbinder am zweiten unteren Displaykabel mit der Spudgerspitze. Er ist direkt hinter dem eben gelösten.

I used the other end of the spudger on this connector and it seemed to work a little better for me. I came in from underneath the top-right edge instead of the bottom right.

Jessica Kirsh - 08/09/20

Schritt 20

Entferne die beiden TriPoint Y000 Schrauben, welche die Halterung über dem Verbinder der Sensoreinheit am Front Panel befestigen:
Eine 1,0 mm Schraube
Eine 1,2 mm Schraube

una vite da 1mm e due viti da 1.2 mm???

Matteo Carachino - 25/09/19

Ciao Matteo! Grazie per l’osservazione. Ho appena modificato il testo :) La traduzione è aperta a tutti. Hai quindi la possibilità di fare le tue suggestione direttamente nel testo e sei il benvenuto se vuoi usare di questa possibilità nel futuro. Grazie ancora per la vigilanza! Saluti, Claire

Claire Miesch - 26/09/19

The tool kit does include a 1.0 or1.2mm screwdriver! How am I supposed to remove those screws?

peter frommer - 15/04/20

Bought the screwdriver that supposedly fits these screws and it still doesn’t work.

hypercarduser - 26/04/20

My bracket looks different. Can’t get these screws out.

Ray Rushing - 28/09/20

kit came with wrong bit. i received 2x P02 (penta tips) and no tri point y000.

Christopher Shane Gripp -

There is no such thing as a trigger point y000 screwdriver. Why couldn't they use Philips like the rest of the screws.Nobody knows what these trips point y000 even look like. this is a scam to force you to buy a new phone.

Al tb -

Schritt 21

Entferne die Halterung, welche den Verbinder der Front Panel Sensoreinheit bedeckt.

Schritt 22

Löse den Verbinder der Front Panel Sensoreinheit mit der Spudgerspitze oder dem Fingernagel von seinem Sockel.

What happens is this strip is torn and how does one fix it

Mijinyawa Dauda -

Schritt 23

Entferne die Displayeinheit.
Halte beim Zusammenbau hier an, wenn du vorher die Klebestreifen um die Kanten des Displays erneuern willst.

Should there be a step somewhere in here to point out when to remove the blue plastic from the new iFixit screen?

Paul Santora -

Schritt 24

Entferne die vier Y000 Schrauben an der Halterung über dem Home/Touch ID Sensor:
Eine 1,2 mm Schraube
Drei 1,3 mm Schrauben
Achte beim Wiederzusammenbau darauf, diese Schrauben nicht zu fest anzuziehen, sonst funktioniert dein Home Button unter Umständen nicht.

The 1.2mm screw on the home button stripped for me. I ended up bending the bracket on each side in order to remove the home button. I then bent it back as best I could during reassembly and screwing it down.

browniestarmite - 13/01/19

The leftmost screw here (attaching the display bracket to the front panel plastic) was not present on my aftermarket screen assembly. Had to pull it from the original.

handemail - 11/05/19

Schritt 25

Entferne die Halterung, welche den Home/Touch ID Sensor festhält.

Schritt 26

Hebele mit einem Plastiköffnungswerkzeug unter der linken Kante des Verbinders am Home Button Kabel, um ihn so zu lösen.
Wenn der Verbinder hoch klappt, ohne sich zu lösen, dann musst du das Kabel an der Oberkante des Verbinders mit dem flachen Ende des Spudgers nach unten drücken und gleichzeitig an der linken Kante des Verbinders nach oben hebeln. Sei dabei äußerst vorsichtig und beschädige weder Kabel noch Verbinder, dadurch kann der Sensor unbrauchbar werden.

Schritt 27

Das empfindliche Kabel des Sensors ist verklebt. Es ist hilfreich den Bereich rund um den Sensor zu erwärmen, um den Kleber aufzuweichen.
Drehe die Displayeinheit herum. Benutze einen Haartrockner oder erwärme einen iOpener, um die untere Kante des Displays für 90 Sekunden zu erwärmen. So wird der Kleber darunter weich.
Erhitze das Display nicht zu stark. Es sollte etwas zu heiss sein, um es bequem anfassen zu können.

Schritt 28

Trenne die Klebeverbindung des Home/Touch ID Sensorkabels mit einem Plektrum von der Rückseite des Displays.

This did not work for me…. ended up breaking the connector from the home button. Most likely messed up the customer’s iPhone… the adhesive would not pry up with just pick… does iFixit offer a home button replacement?

Sidar M Caceres - 19/05/20

did not work for me either, also ended up breaking the connector, just use the tweezer to separate it. do not use opening pick!!!!! it’s too thick for it!!

Jeffrey Tang - 22/10/20

Isopropanol and heat will loosen the adhesive and its possible to gently remove with plastic pick, metal tweezers risk damaging the Home button cable and disabling the Touch facility.

Chris Smith - 05/12/20

Pretty easy to follow instructions if you have patience and careful hands. If you have clumsy hands you will not succeed in fixing any small electronics. There are some small things you should use to help you succeed at fixing small electronics, like some scotch tape or other clear tape to hold some of the cables in place while you work on small electronics items, also a small heavy bottle or object to propped the iPhones cases against to hold them from falling over so that your hands can be free to perform your tasks. Great job you are doing iFixit personel and I am with you all the way with fighting for our rights to fix our electronics equipment.

wogriffith - 18/03/21

Isopropanol in conjunction with the heat really did the trick here. Heat up first, then use plenty of the alcohol to pry it up carefully using the pick.

Maximilian Krause - 05/04/21

Heat dryer on high worked for me.

Stephen Smith - 18/05/21

I followed exactly the method in Step 37. First, turn the screen over and warm up slightly around the home/Touch ID sensor , making the cable easier to come loose from the screen. I didn't use an opening pick, I used a spudger it worked fine, but be careful

clbr -

why is my home button attached to the lcd? there is no clip and makes it impossible to easily remove home button. help!!

Joel -

I also was mystified as to why I could not remove the home button after successfully removing the cable. Then I remembered that I had suggestion at step 4 and covered shattered screen with clear tape! Once tape was removed, button came out! LOL!

bseagrave -

I heated the tip of a thin knife with a hot air gun and slide it under the flexible cable. When I hit resistance I reheated the knife. Keeping it parallel to the board while doing this. After 4 heatings the knife moved the rest of the way and the cable lifted easily off of the iPhone back. This method left enough glue on the cable that it restuck fine when moved to the new iPhone.

Bill Auerbach -

Apple loves to make this the most difficult thing. I've been successful many times, and not so on other repairs. I just finished a repair and everything was in tact, but sadly it didn't work. Took a part and put back. So I turned on the assistive touch home button. They will be getting a new phone soon, so not a big issue except Pride.

Shawn Bailey -

Schritt 29

Entferne die Home/Touch ID Sensoreinheit, indem du sie durch die Vorderseite des Displays durchziehst.
Beim Zusammenbau, musst du erst das Kabel durch das Loch in der Vorderseite des Displays fädeln, wie im Bild gezeigt.
Dein Ersatzteil verfügt vielleicht über zusätzliche Y000 Schrauben, die bereits nahe beim Home Button vorinstalliert sind. Entferne die unnötigen Schrauben , sodass du die Halterung des Home Buttons wieder einbauen kannst.

Abschluss

Vergleiche dein neues Ersatzteil mit dem originalen Teil, du musst eventuell einige Komponenten übertragen oder Schutzfolien vom neuen Teil abziehen, bevor du mit dem Einbau beginnen kannst.

Um dein Gerät wieder zusammenzubauen, folge den Schritten in umgekehrter Reihenfolge.

Entsorge deinen Elektromüll sachgerecht.

Very useful information…

Flica Hussey - 18/05/18

Has anyone found out any info about replacing the Apple iPhone 8 Front glass. Last I checked Apple had made it that if you install a non OEM screen and updates their phone, it will brick there phone. I have not been fixing any iPhone 8’s or iPhone x’s due to this. I So if someone knows if this has been resolved or if this still holds true can you please let me know. Also, Fixing back glass. From what I have seen they use some crazy glue. Does anyone have any methods on a easy way to replace back glass on the iPhone 8’s ? do you still basically have to gut the phone ? what kind of glue is used to glue it back on? Any help with these issues would greatly be appreciated I have been repairing phones for over 8 years + and turning away customers because apple is so dumb with these things upsets me greatly. I loved repairing iPhone up until this point. Help please.

service - 19/07/18

Replacing the screen will not Brick the iPhone, although the 8/8Plus & iPhone X all have an issue with the Ambient Sensor when a new screen is fitted. Although a way around this is to use a EEPROM device to copy the firmware from the original screen. It is also rumored that Apple are fixing the Ambient Sensor issue in iOS 12.

Donald - 01/10/18

Why don't you just throw an oem replica decal over the back glass and call it good. Any more time spent on something that is designed to break & devalue your device into a state beyond reasonable repair efforts, to inevitably promote purchase of a newer model, should be treated with scorn and covered with cheap adhesive decals from China.

SalvagedBandit -

Anyone know if the ambient sensor is fixed?

alexaamo91 - 30/10/18

Hi. My iphone 8 plus screen is broken. I purchased it from USA, I’m in Turkey, Istanbul right know. When I took it to the apple store over there, they told me I need a code to replace the screen, and every country has different code. In order for me to replace the screen, I need that code.

Would some one please tell me what to do. I really appreciate it.

Thanks.

Sean Nouhi - 10/11/18

I replaced the screen on an iPhone 8 Plus. When I transfer the home button it does not work in the new screen, but still works in the old, cracked screen. Thoughts?

briankesting - 07/01/19

I’m having same issue and tried numerous aftermarket screens, I had a spare 8Plus here ready to repair (lcd damaged but working) tried it on that separate screen and Touch was fine again so the issue has to be aftermarket screens I’m guessing it’s the quality of the lcd is the issue as all original screens have proven fine but 3 aftermarket screens later and no joy so worth paying a little more for oem quality. The8plus is the only model so far Iv had this issue with as prior models are simple, but so many advertised as “original” it’s hard to pin point decent supplier

nathanjenkins15 - 24/06/20

I successfully substituted the screen with ifixit kit. However, force touch does not work and the luminosity is way less than the original

Ismaele Warren - 27/11/19

The back glass is a pain in the …but it is slot easier if use a heatgun on low. Then use a blade or a prytool. It's still a pain but slot easier. Make sure that u don't scratch or damage the wireless charger in the middle. Hope this helps.

Mike - 02/12/19

Did the replacement yesterday on my own with the iFixit kit and the parts supplied. It was really easy and great that it came with the adhesive and all the parts integrated in the replacement screen. The only downside is that the TrueTone isn’t working anymore nut I knew this before buying the kit.

It took me about 2 hours to complete.

Sorin Drache - 28/01/20

I forgot to disconnect the battery connector now my iphone 8 won’t boot up any idea how to fix this ?

orange flash - 30/01/20

My home button is not recognized with the new screen fitted, so I’m left with putting the broken screen back in and a smaller bank balance :-(

simon_kesselman - 26/03/20

Front camera removal is not even mentioned. That seems like a rather large omission on this replacement. Wonder how many people followed this document to the letter only to find out that the front camera is still on the old screen.

danny - 05/04/20

Hi Danny,

Thanks for the note! As stated in the introduction, this guide is written for the replacement part we sell, which comes with the front facing camera, earpiece speaker, and EMI shield already installed. I will amend the instructions to point to a front facing camera guide.

Arthur Shi - 06/04/20

After I completed the repair on my iPhone 8 Plus, there’s some time of back lighting/impact point on the bottom right of screen. Anyone else’s repair have this issue??

Sidar M Caceres - 19/05/20

thank you Jeff and the ifixit folks… great attention to detail. worked out very nicely in practice

kate freitag - 02/06/20

Hi i fixed using this guide, i got to say it is incomplete. You need to remove the metal frame from the original screen as well and also the top of the original screen the camera module and speaker module. And the reminder and the removal of power cable need to be extra careful in choosing the right cable to unplug. I unplug the wrong one and it caused my touch ID not to work. Take note on this pointer.

Aloysius See - 29/08/20

Hi! This guide is written for our iPhone 8 complete screen, which has the metal frame and camera/speaker module pre-installed. We also have a guide for the bare LCD/digitizer part, which requires transferring the frame and front assembly.

Arthur Shi - 01/09/20

Hello, I replaced the display of my 8 plus using the instructions and your replacement display. Now the phone discharges very quickly and gets warm ?! If only I had kept my broken display. What can i do?

Tobias Grossmann - 09/09/20

I replaced the front screen on my iPhone 8 Plus with an iFixit kit and when I turn the phone on you can feel the phone vibrating when you click the home button but the screen is black and won’t come on…. any thoughts? I took it back apart 3 times disconnecting and reconnecting the connectors and it never would come on…. I need HELP!!!

Payton Bland - 22/09/20

Hi Payton,

I would check if the screen backlight was blown out. This commonly happens when you disconnect the screen without disconnecting the battery first. To check, “turn on” the phone as you have been. Shine a bright light directly at the screen, and see if the LCD shows anything. If it does, the LCD is working, but the backlight circuitry is broken.

Arthur Shi - 24/09/20

I have this same issue

i tried the bright light idea, but cannot see anything

Whitney Patten - 25/04/21

This is the second ifixit screen replaced on my iPhone 8 Plus. Unfortunately, this second repair kit was a much lower quality that the first one, which was only one year prior. The screen is much lower quality with really poor contrast. It works, but it makes it look like a cheap knockoff phone now. Also, two bits in the included tool kit were too large to use! They are marked the same size as my previous kit, but they are definitely larger and will not fit into the tri-lobe or philips head screws. I ended up using the bits in my previous tool kit. Overall the quality of the components has definitely gone down hill, which is hugely disappointing.

mark - 25/10/20

Hi Mark,

I’m really sorry to hear about your experience with the screen kit. Thanks for bringing this up—we take pride in the quality of our tools and components and seek to rectify any issues that show up. If our customer service team has not reached out, please contact us here.

Arthur Shi - 28/10/20

Performed successful replacement of an iphone 8 plus screen. The blue triangular plastic opening pick was useless for opening the case, even after using a heat gun to soften the adhesive. A razor blade was necessary to separate the screen from the body, then the picks could be used. All other aspects of the repair guide were excellent.

Drake Wilson - 18/01/21

Brilliant instruction. I found the screen replacement really easy to follow. Thanks!

Tony Bergin - 16/03/21

Bought this part fitted it all working fine put a screen protector on, thought all was sorted and noticed it had a horrible screen/lightbleed issues on the right side! So So annoyed with this..

No country code needed, Thats pure BS. I replaced mine… iPhone 8Plus in 25 minutes. The phone has no coded parts except the finger print sensor. If you remove the touch id button according to these instructions you’ll have no problem with this. BTW I have done dozens of screen replacements using parts from iFixit and have NEVER had a problem. If you’re careful and make sure you have the correct model numbers for your phone you’ll get parts that work perfectly. Also big thumbs up on the guide. Excellent instructions. But somebody should write up the part about installing the glue. That’s a tricky bugger. Always remember to leave the fine assembly plastic covers in place on the glue until your ready to assemble. Keeps the glue from sticking to your cables during the final re-assembly phases. The covers are split so they wont be difficult to remove once done.

Hi. Followed the instructions. Now when we switch on we get the apple symbol for a few seconds. Then it goes off and repeats. Any suggestions please? Thanks

I bought a cheap, cheap, cheap replacement screen from somewhere else, and didn’t realize that i also had to switch over my earpiece, sensor, backplate, etc. it was a big surprise but with the help of the other tutorials on this site I was able to complete it! the screen quality is a lot lower than expected, a tad fuzzier, but you i got what i paid for. great info!!

Touch stopped working and this fixed it right up. I’ve opened many iPhones to change the battery but this is only the second screen replacement I’ve done with a fingerprint sensor transplant. It’s not that much more to do than the battery.

I replaced a broken screen on my daughters iPhone 8 plus and now it will turn on but it only displays a apple logo screen on and off. Please tell me it can be fixed

I am hoping to find a fix also. I came here based off of 6 plus issues that came up when I searched. But if not the screws being placed in the correct spots then it could be a few things if it’s like the 6 at all...? My niece allowed her friends to rip hers apart now I’m left with the pieces of not knowing how it came apart or names of anything bc I’ve never messed with a replacement before. Although the home button and camera we’re supposed to be the only parts switched over I’m still in a boggle. I hope someone decides to answer! A few people with the 6 said they left it plugged in over night flashing and it worked. Thinkn about tryn but I’m afraid not knowing if the screws are properly placed first! Good Luck

Hi, my iphone 8 plus was run over and both the front and back were obviously heavily damaged. I read that if the back is damaged, you would need to replace the whole chassis and place all of the internal components into the new one. Do you sell the whole chassis? I see the front screen but not the rear.

I've changed the LCD screen of my Iphone 8 Plus and now it either turns off when I make a phone call or the external and internal speaker and mic dont work. (no music, cannot hear or be heard during phone calls)
