Introduction
Prereq-only for detaching the display assembly.
-
-
Power off your iPhone before beginning disassembly.
-
Remove the two 6.75 mm long pentalobe P2 screws at the bottom edge of the iPhone.
-
-
-
Heating the lower edge of the iPhone helps soften the adhesive securing the display, making it easier to open.
-
Use a hairdryer or heat gun or prepare an iOpener and apply it to the lower edge of the iPhone for about a minute in order to soften up the adhesive underneath.
-
-
-
Pull the blue handle towards the hinge to disengage opening mode.
-
Position the suction cups near the bottom edge of the iPhone—one on the front, and one on the back.
-
Push down on the cups to apply suction to the desired area.
-
-
-
Push the blue handle away from the hinge to engage opening mode.
-
Turn the handle clockwise until you see the cups start to stretch.
-
Wait one minute to give the adhesive a chance to release and present an opening gap.
-
Insert an opening pick under the screen when the Anti-Clamp creates a large enough gap.
-
Skip the next two steps.
-
-
-
If you're using a single suction handle, apply it to the bottom edge of the phone, while avoiding the very edge of the glass.
-
-
-
Pull up on the suction cup with firm, constant pressure to create a slight gap between the front panel and rear case.
-
Insert an opening pick into the gap.
-
-
-
Slide the opening pick around the lower left corner and up the left edge of the iPhone, slicing through the adhesive holding the display in place.
-
-
-
Re-insert your pick at the bottom edge of the iPhone, and slide it up the right side to continue separating the adhesive.
-
-
-
Insert your pick into the right edge of the phone. Slide it around the top-right corner and across the top edge.
-
-
-
Open the iPhone by swinging the display up from the right side, like the front cover of a book.
-
Lean the display against something to keep it propped up while you're working on the phone.
-
-
-
Use a spudger or a clean fingernail to pry the battery connector up from its socket on the logic board.
-
Bend the connector slightly away from the logic board to prevent it from accidentally making contact with the socket and providing power to the phone during your repair.
-
-
-
Use a Y000 driver to remove four screws securing the front sensor connector cover.
-
Three 1.1 mm-long screws
-
One 1.4 mm-long screw
-
-
-
Swing the cover up from the left until the small clip on the right unhooks.
-
Remove the cover.
-
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
Please explain how to power off the phone when the broken screen is not responding to touch.
