Preface

Use the following picture guide to easily change the display on your iPhone & and iPhone & Plus. Make sure that you install the home button from your old display into the new one. Without your original home button, the fingerprint sensor with touch ID will not work.

You should make a backup of your iPhone before changing the display and then turn it off.

Step 1: Remove Pentalobe screws

Turn off your iPhone before you start the repair!

Remove the two Pentalobe screws on the bottom of the iPhone.

Step 2: Open display

Lift the screen out of the frame using either the suction cup or the thin metal spatula Which of the two you will use depends largely on the state of your screen. If it’s still mostly uncracked, the suction cup will work just fine.

Which tool you use depends on the state of your display. If it is still reasonably intact, the suction cup works very well.

Step 3: Detach display from frame

Drive the plectrum between frame and screen. Be careful not to insert it too far into the device in the area around the home button. Slowly lift up the screen, together with the inner metal frame it is attached to inside the device.

Step 4: Remove cover

Open the screen just enough so you are able to reach these five screws securing the metal cover.

During reassembly, it's critical to place this 3.0 mm screw in the top-right corner of the bracket. Placing it anywhere else may damage the logic board.

Step 5: Detach connectors

Use a spudger or a clean fingernail to disconnect the front camera flex cable by prying it straight up from its socket on the logic board.
When reconnecting the digitizer cable, do not press the center of the connector. Press one end of the connector, then press the opposite end. Pressing in the center of the connector can bend the component and cause digitizer damage.
Disconnect the display cable by prying it straight up from its socket on the logic board.

Step 6: Remove earpiece speaker

* If you bought the item with Spare Parts(Front Camera, Sensor Flex, Shield plate, Earpiece Speaker), no need to do this step.

Remove the following three Phillips screws securing the earpiece speaker bracket:
Use the flat end of a spudger to lift the FaceTime camera out of its housing.
Pull the FaceTime camera back and remove the earpiece speaker.

Step 7: Remove front-facing camera and sensor cable

* If you bought the item with Spare Parts(Front Camera, Sensor Flex, Shield plate, Earpiece Speaker), no need to do this step.


Use the pointed tip of a spudger to lift the ambient light sensor from its housing in the front panel.
Insert the pointed tip of a spudger between the microphone flex cable and the front panel to break the adhesive holding it in place.
Use the flat tip of a spudger to lift up the microphone and earpiece gasket.
Remove the FaceTime camera and sensor assembly.

Step 8: Remove Home Button

Remove the two 1.9 mm Phillips screws securing the home button bracket.
Use the pointed tip of a spudger to disconnect the home button cable from its connector on the display assembly.

  • The rubber gasket surrounding the home button is very thin and tears easily.

  • Apply mild heat (with a heat gun, or hair dryer) to soften the adhesive securing the home button gasket.

  • Using your fingertip, gently press up on the home button from the front side of the display assembly. Use firm, constant pressure to slowly separate the home button's rubber gasket from the front panel.


    • Use the pointed end of a spudger to pry the lightly-adhered home button flex cable off the display assembly.
    Remove the home button assembly.

    Step 9: Remove the EMI shield

    * If you bought the item with Spare Parts(Front Camera, Sensor Flex, Shield plate, Earpiece Speaker), no need to do this step.

  • Remove the seven 1.5 mm Phillips screws holding the display EMI shield in place.

    The screw on the far right in the first photo is recessed about 1.8 cm from the edge of the display.
    • Remove the EMI shield from the front panel.
