Replacement of screen on Apple iPhone 6 screen made by LaptopScreen.com
Shut down the iPhone
To begin, hold down the power button on the side and confirm the shutdown on screen
Open the iPhone
Remove two pentalobe screws, one on each side of the lightning connector. Using a
suction cup and a plastic pick, separate the screen assembly from the main body at the
bottom edge. Open the screen assembly to a 90-degree angle.
Separate the display assembly
And remove two Phillips screws securing the battery connector plate. Remove the metal
plate and, using a flat screwdriver, pick open the battery connector. Proceed with removing
the five Phillips screws securing the connector plate. In order to keep track of all the different
screw placements, put all the screws on the desk in the same pattern as they were installed
on the phone. Set the connector plate on the desk next to its screws. Using a flat screwdriver,
pick open four connectors from the logic board. Set the main body aside.
Remove the home button
Proceed with removing the home button from the screen assembly. Remove two Phillips screws
securing the home button plate and remove the plate. Using a flat screwdriver, pick open
the home button connector. Using a plastic pick, slowly push the home button from the
front, making sure that the rubber membrane around the button separates evenly and
remains with the home button. Separate the home button flex cable from the display
assembly using an X-Acto knife. Remove the home button with its cable attached and set it
aside.
Remove the camera bracket and metal plate
Proceed with removing the three Phillips screws securing the camera bracket. Make sure
to lay the screws on the table in the same pattern as they were installed on the
device. Set the camera bracket aside. Remove six tiny Phillips screws securing the large
metal plate, three on each side of the screen assembly. Remove the last Phillips screw
near the home button opening. Gently separate the metal plate, taking extra caution where
the home button cable is glued onto the display assembly near the home button opening.
Set it aside.
Transfer parts onto the new front assembly
Take the new front assembly and remove the protective film. Lift the phone camera on its
flex cable and remove the speaker box underneath. Using a flat screwdriver, gently pick
out the clear camera positioning plastic. Using an X-Acto knife, separate the camera flex
cable from the display assembly on the left side, then using a flat screwdriver, carefully
separate the camera and sensors garland from the old screen assembly. Using an X-Acto
knife, separate the square plastic bracket. Using tweezers, transfer the rubber screw
dampeners from near the home button opening onto the new screen assembly.
Set the old assembly aside. Replace the clear mounting brackets in the new display
assembly. Replace the camera and sensors garland onto the new assembly, making sure that
all the sensors align with their respective placements. Replace the speaker box. Replace
the large metal plate, making sure that the home button cable is fitted underneath the
camera flex cable. Secure the six tiny Phillips screws, three on each side of the large
metal plate. Replace the top camera bracket and secure it with three Phillips screws.
Replace the Phillips screw at the top-right corner of the home button opening.
Align the home button connector with its correct placement on the display assembly.
Replace the home button and gently close its connector. Replace the metal plate over the
home button and secure it with two Phillips screws.
Connect the new display assembly to the main body
Begin by connecting the display assembly to the main body. Align the connectors one by
one and close them by carefully pressing down. Make sure to properly align each connector,
as it makes a distinct click when connected properly. Be very careful in this step; all
connectors are extremely fragile. Replace the connector plate and secure it with five
Phillips screws. Reconnect the battery, replace the metal plate, and secure it with two
Phillips screws.
Close the iPhone
Proceed with closing the display assembly. Ensure that the top edge is properly fitted
into its groove. Apply even pressure all around the perimeter of the device to firmly
snap the display assembly back into place. Remove the protective film. Replace the two
pentalobe screws, one on each side of the lightning connector. Turn the phone on, and
you're done!
