iPhone 6 Display tauschen

Was du brauchst

Einführungsvideo

  1. iPhone 6 Display tauschen, Pentalobe Schrauben: Schritt 1, Bild 1 von 1
    • Vor der Demontage des iPhones entlade die Batterie auf unter 25%. Eine geladene Lithium-Ionen Batterie kann Feuer fangen und/oder explodieren, wenn sie beschädigt wird.

    • Schalte dein iPhone ab, bevor du mit der Demontage beginnst.

    • Entferne die beiden 3,6 mm langen Pentalobe P2 Schrauben neben dem Lightning Connector.

    When reconnecting be VERY careful not to over tighten. The connectors on the screen that these 3.6mm Pentalobe screws lock with are notorious for breaking off

    what do i do if ive managed to tighten them too hard and now they wont come off?

    Before opening the phone, I gently warmed it using a buckwheat heating pad. This made removal of the adhesive strips (steps 20 to 24) easy.

    Howard Bales - Antwort

    Exactly what I did as well, the gently warming made the adhesive removal work like a charm. The heat as well help to lift the screen easily, no need for the prying tools for me to open te phone.

    For the adhesive removal just pull it slowly to the bottom of the phone and keep in under tension.

    On reassembly, turn on the phone after getting all connectors back in place to verify all is working fine before putting all screws back in their spot.

    Maarten Vergauwen -

    Thanks for the suggestion! I heated up a hot/cold pack, and it worked great.

    Linda Chandler -

    I put mine back together but mine looks very different than this one. Why is it that when I make a call I cannot hear through the ear piece and have to put it on speaker. Also my screen doesn't go black when my face touches it

    Bailey Wilson - Antwort

    Hey Bailey, which repair were you attempting? Is it possible you have a 6s, or maybe a 6 Plus? You may have better luck with faster troubleshooting if you post in our Answer Forum!

    Sam Goldheart -

    See its a long time ago you had this issue. You can try to remove the cable from front camera/sensor/earpiece from the motherboard port and gently push it back on. All the problems you relate to is thru the same cable. If this dont solve your problem, check if the earpiece is correctly placed onto the polarity poles, and that the proximity sensor is lying right down into the corresponding socket. If something is blocking the sensor, yeah then the screen wont turn on/off when you put it onto your ear.

    I see in the preamble that when you replace your logic board, you would lose touch id functionality, so my question is what if you have the homebutton and thus the fingerprint reader for the logic board replacement, would touch id work?

    The guide for the iPhone6 battery replacement needs to be revised. There are a couple of issues.

    1) While the battery cover has two screws, they are different lengths. Since they are very small, it can be hard to see the difference (until one tries to screw the smaller one into the longer hole). The video needs to mention this.

    2) The application of the adhesive strip if very different from what is mentioned. Also, there is a “one piece plastic” applique, and it is very unforgiving. The video should show this process in more detail.

    I believe the attention to this detail would help folks correctly install their iPhone 6 batteries, and with the recent Apple disclosed battery problem, would continue to show that iFixit is very committed to the end-user.

    Gary Long - Antwort

    I felt a bit silly getting stuck at the end of a long repair, unable to screw one of these last screws back in. What worked was gently pinching the phone above and below the screw, to make sure the screen and back were perfectly aligned.

    Matt D - Antwort

    Apple edits posts on their Communities website that link to this fix page justifying as follows:

    “We’ve edited your post because following the procedures at the site you provided may lead to damage to the user’s device.”

    What is certain is that following Apple Support’s advice of resetting our phones again and again never works whereas this fix works. Apparently Apple does not want people to know that their hardware fails and can be fixed, because then they would need to explain why they don’t offer neither the fixing service nor the fixing advice by directing us to this website.

    Brice - Antwort

    Before you get started, I suggest you confirm you are replacing the correct camera. If you are thinking of a camera, the front is the side of the device with the main lens. On an iPhone this is actually known as the rear facing camera. Once the phone is disassembled your orientation can be distorted and it is not that hard to fail to realize your are replacing the wrong camera. Doh!

    William Miller - Antwort

    I found it very useful to use a magnet sheet when doing these repairs. I use electrical tape or a sharpie to make a grid, and place each micro screw in a separate box on the grid.

    I work directly over the magnet sheet, so that if something drops I have a better chance at not losing it.

    If you do lose a screw, go over the work area with a fridge magnet. It will pick it up if it hasn’t popped too far away.

    Megan Telliano - Antwort

    I agree. The Magnetic Project Mat makes your project incredibly easier and keeps your screws/parts organized. Here is the link for anyone interested:

    or some masking tape with sticky side up and the ends folded underneath on a piece of paper, then you can write notes like

    “1.4mm for FOO bracket →”

    “7x2.3mm for EMI cover, different one by camera →”

    The arrows point as appropriate.

    These screws are tiny, and the first two are the biggest of the lot. Get a magnifying glass or good reader glasses.

    Jennifer Porter - Antwort

    Which torx is this T?

    klemenecanze - Antwort

    The screws are no torx screws they are Apple Pentalobe screws. You need to buy a Pentalobe screwdriver seen above.

    I'm an amateur, but I was able to replace the parts almost perfectly while looking at this explanation, thank you very much.

    irichin.3.26 - Antwort

    was fairly easy more nerves than anything, one thing one should have on hand is alcohol just in case its needed. also if one doesn’t get the entire tape strips out, use the alcohol like suggested and lift the battery up. Then can grab the remaining tape strips with tweezers and pull it out. Easy to put back together just make sure the connectors are in. The screws are tiny so take your time. I plugged it in and it started charging and it worked. Great to have my 6 back for a trip as I wanted to use it for the camera, also my game phone so nice to have a battery that lasts. Yes having a flat place to put the parts and put them in separate area so they don’t get mixed up. It took about a hour with hunting for a spare bottle of alcohol.

    Greg Wischmeyer - Antwort

    The first step should always to be to backup your phone as there is always a slim chance that even a simple battery replacement may render the phone inoperable and data on it lost.

    Please do not forget to remove the SIM-Card tray!!

    Steffen Albrecht - Antwort

    I didn’t need to remove my sim card tray when I did my iPhone 6 battery replacement. Why do you suggest to remove it?

    Jim -

    You dont need to remove sim card while battery replacement

    bertan - Antwort

    Did mine today, with iFixit battery and iFixit tool kit. Did not need suction cup, to open case, as it had partially sprung open on left, as a result of a badly swollen battery. Supported base and screen with a bookend and rubber bands. This kept these parts at a 90 degree angle, so that screen did not need to be removed. IFixit screwdriver tips were perfect fit. Somewhat difficult to remove battery adhesive strips, but slow and steady got it done, after mild heating with hair dryer. Took about 3 minutes to reposition battery connector…just a wee bit tricky, to position correctly. Was careful to place top of screen in place first, and remainder snapped into place with light pressure, and replaced the 2 pentalobe screws.

    Will highly recommend iFixit for such a repair. Repair kit and battery, are first rate. I give this an 11, out of 10.?

    • Wenn dein Display-Glas zerbrochen ist, dann solltest du weiteren Bruch verhindern und Verletzungen während der Reparatur vermeiden, indem du das Glas mit Klebeband abklebst.

    • Klebe durchsichtiges Klebeband in überlappenden Streifen über das Display des iPhones, bis die ganze Oberseite bedeckt ist.

    • Dieses Verfahren hält Glasscherben fest und sorgt dafür, dass die Struktur erhalten bleibt, wenn du am Display hebelst und es hochhebst.

    • Ziehe eine Schutzbrille auf, um deine Augen vor Glassplittern zu schützen, die bei der Reparatur herausspringen können.

    • Wenn das Glas so zerbrochen ist, dass ein Saugnapf bei den nächsten Schritten zu schwierig anzusetzen ist, dann solltest du versuchen, ein Stück sehr starken Klebebands (etwa Panzer-Tape) zu einem handlichen Griff zusammenzukleben und damit das Display anzuheben.

    In case of broken glass you can make the suction cup much more effective by covering the glass with a broad piece of translucent tape which eliminate air leakage through cracks in the glass.

    I’ve used hot glue on low setting to remove all types of crystals. The hot glue will release with a little iso alcohol. No damage to glass or plastic faced crystals or screens. Use a narrow piece of wood as a prying handle.

    Emilio Gonzalez - Antwort

    I recently had issues with removing the glass with the suction cup. I have done this many times with older generation iPhones but this time the glass seemed sealed on quite solidly. I told myself that the last option would be to use the screwdriver tip. After all my attempts, I transitioned to the option of using the screwdriver tip. Surprisingly, it was the easiest thing ever. I placed the 1mm flathead screwdriver at the interface between the glass and the cover (normal start location) and pried up very gently. Voila, the glass came up and I can’t even notice any dents or scratches. It felt much easier than the suction cup technique. If the suction cup is giving you a hard time consider using that 1mm flathead.

    forhereyesonly - Antwort

    This is definetly the best option to open this thing up. I’ve spend 30min with trying to heat it up and remove it using the suction cup. I needed 3sec with the 1mm flat screwdriver and i t was’nt scary at all. No dents nor scratches here too. Thanks for your comment.

    Michael - Antwort

    Tried several types of tape but finally used this screw driver solution. At first I wasn't pushing hard enough for fear of damaging things but with just a bit of extra force I was able to open it right up. Everything is fine with only a slight scratch on the frame.

    • Wir haben die Anti-Clamp entwickelt, um Geräte sicher zu öffnen. Die nächsten beiden Schritte zeigen die Benutzung der Anti-Clamp. Wenn du sie nicht verwenden willst, überspringe die nächsten zwei Schritte und folge einer anderen Methode.

    • Genaue Anweisungen, wie die Anti-Clamp benutzt wird, findest du hier.

    • Drücke den blauen Griff zum Scharnier hin, um den Öffnungsmodus zu deaktivieren.

    • Bringe die Saugheber nahe an der Unterkante des iPhones direkt über dem Home Button an, einen auf der Vorderseite, 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.

    I found that the single suction cup from the kit worked very well. It didn’t take that much force to separate the front panel from the phone. I think any suction cup that you are able to get a firm grip on will probably work as well. There isn’t any adhesive holding the front panel in. It just snaps in and out. If you have a cracked screen and no screen protector, it may be hard to get a good suction seal. If that’s the case, someone else here suggested applying clear tape to the front glass to get a good surface for applying the suction cup. In my case, I already had a screen protector that was still intact so the suction cup sealed easily.

    • Drücke den blauen Griff vorwärts, um die Arme wieder zu verriegeln.

    • Drehe den Griff eine volle Umdrehung im Uhrzeigersinn, oder 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.

    • Schiebe ein Plektrum unter das Display, sobald die Anti-Clamp eine ausreichend große Lücke erzeugt hat.

    • Wenn es nicht gelingt, mit der Anti-Clamp einen ausreichenden Spalt zu erzeugen, dann drehe den Griff eine Viertelumdrehung im Uhrzeigersinn weiter.

    • Drehe den Griff jeweils nicht mehr als eine Viertelumdrehung weiter und warte jedes Mal einige Sekunden lang. Gib der Anti-Clamp Zeit, ihre Arbeit zu erledigen.

    • Überspringe die nächsten drei Schritte .

  5. iPhone 6 Display tauschen, Manuelle Öffnungsprozedur: Schritt 5, Bild 1 von 1
    • Wenn du keine Anti-Clamp zur Verfügung hast, dann hebe die Displayeinheit mit einem Saugheber an.

    • Presse den Saugheber über dem Home Button gegen das Display.

    • Überprüfe, ob der Saugheber auch wirklich richtig sitzt.

    • Wenn die Scheibe stark gesplittert ist, haftet der Saugheber möglicherweise nicht gut. Klebe eine Lage von durchsichtigem Paketband darüber, damit er besser festhält. Du kannst auch anstelle eines Saughebers sehr starkes Klebeband verwenden. Eine weitere Möglichkeit ist, den Saugheber mit Sekundenkleber zu befestigen.

    This is nearly impossible on a screen that is shattered

    Erik Madsen - Antwort

    You can put clear tape over it. it works.

    Owen -

    Try putting a strip of packing tape on the screen. That will make the surface smooth and help keep the suction.

    Joanna - Antwort

    Argh!! Don’t put the suction cup over the home button to pull. While it works, it also breaks the screen at the weak point below the home button. Ask me how I know.

    • Halte das iPhone mit einer Hand fest und ziehe am Saugnapf, um die Display Einheit vom hinteren Gehäuse zu trennen.

    • Nimm dir Zeit und übe konstante, starke Kraft auf den Saugnapf aus. Die Display Einheit sitzt im Vergleich zu anderen Geräten sehr fest.

    • Heble den hinteren Gehäuseteil mit einem Plastik Opening Tool vorsichtig von der Display Einheit weg, während du weiterhin am Saugnapf ziehst.

    • Durch einige Clips ist die Display Einheit am hinteren Gehäuse befestigt. Womöglich musst du die Display Einheit deshalb gleichzeitig mit Plastik Opening Tool und Saugnapf bearbeiten, um sie zu lösen.

    Pulling up on the suction cup helped get me started, but what worked for me was pulling up gently while sliding the plastic prybar gently along the seam towards the top of the phone (on both sides), and it came open without having to put excess pressure on the suction.

    lauren carroll - Antwort

    Same here, just open the gap a little with the suction cup and then use the opening tool on both sides.

    Tobias - Antwort

    Along with the suction cup I used some Command adhesive strips to hold the bottom of the phone to a workbench as they easily pull/stretch away when you need to remove them!

    Dion Sosa - Antwort

    That’s a very clever idea, thank you!

    Megan Telliano -

    I did this too and left it throughout the repair. Super easy, and prevented phone from slipping and damaging the display cables.

    Felicia Johnson -

    Suction cup pictured here is the older version (with ring). I have one from my previous battery replacement on iPhone 5 and used that instead. The new one (gray with blue handle) kept on popping off. Overall, popping out screen was not as hard as it seems with these instructions, but do proceed with caution.

    youmingc - Antwort

    Dion's idea to use removable adhesive strips was great, even better, use it to attach the iPhone to a clipboard. This will allow for a sort of Lazy Susan function while you work. I also used adhesive strips to attach my iPhone box to the clipboard as well and used that as a back rest (with rubber band) for the screen as pictured in steps below. This allowed me to very comfortably skip steps 13-19 as others have commented.

    Adam - Antwort

    The new suction cup (plastic handle) is not so suctiony. Prepare for this thing to pop off a couple of times when opening the case.

    Chet Seidel - Antwort

    Be very careful because it feels that it holds very tight but with the last pull it can fly away.

    Kristaps Grinbergs - Antwort

    Be very careful when you pull up the display! Do not keep your other hand on the display surface or you can broke it!

    Luke Man - Antwort

    I did all the suggestions here and it just wasn’t moving until I repositioned the suction cup up over the home button for more leverage. It finally came up enough to slip the plastic opening tool under the edge.

    Alan Derrick - Antwort

    Well, my glass immediately and easily shattered. The only reason I’m attempting this is because Apple didn’t have time and the kids at Best Buy, while they accepted my appointment, admitted they had no idea how to actually do it. So… I’m off to Apple to spend a gazillion dollars I don’t have on a new iPhone.

    • Einige Clips entlang der Oberkante der Display Einheit bilden ein nicht durchgängiges Scharnier.

    • Während des Wiederzusammenbaus, lege die Clips gerade unter der oberen Kante des hinteren Gehäuses an. Fahre dann mit der Display Einheit nach oben, bis seine obere Kante bündig mit der des hinteren Gehäuseteils ist.

    It's not clear from the instructions but it is shown correctly in the pictures: when the front panel assembly is just open (at a small angle with the rear case) pull the top edge clips out of the rear case to slightly separate the two components, then swing the front panel assembly away from the rear case. I assume not doing so would potentially damage the connecting ribbon and/or the alignment clips. Just a guess...

    ethanlust - Antwort

    Yes! I wish I had read this before working on my phone. I read the instructions as they are and slowly started to open the case. This is when I heard my screen crack. So in the future, slowly open and when you are about 40% of the way, pull the screen forward so that the top clips pull away (we are talking a cm at most). Sigh just ordered a new screen

    Albert -

    Ein Tipp zum Zusammenbau: Das Display ca. in 45 Grad halten und vorsichtig an die obere Kante des Gehäuses drücken, bis es bündig und glatt anliegt.

    Dann das Display langsam und vorsichtig anklappen und die Clips von oben nach unten festdrücken.

    SAS - Antwort

    This entire process went smooth. Final step of re-assembly , the assembly does not seat into the framing. The white gasket seats on one side not the the volume button side. Alignment looks good. How much pressure does one apply on the reassembly?

    Bruce Fournier - Antwort

    My problem is the front panel does not want to joint together with the rear panel… it feel like the front is too big but it look perfect but does not clip in place… Help…

    Tony Chicoine - Antwort

    same problem, in the final step, the screen does not fit entirely. it looks like the size is not 100% correct, but 99%… one side of the case stays open…

    Andrea Andreoli - Antwort

    Same thing here, with a new screen it doesn’t fit quite right during re-assembly. It sits just a little bit higher and doesn’t look seated.

    Adam Carl - Antwort

    Some people have noted that the screen doesn’t seat properly on the case. Here’s how I solved it:

    The issue is that rectangular brackets on the back of the display aren’t latching with the corresponding clips in the base. I think the brackets are missing the gap between the spring plate and bracket with the latching bumps on it on the base. Here’s my solution:

    Position the top of the display slightly below the top of the case so the clips on the back top of the display start to engage with the phone case. Important: don’t push it all the way up!

    Now press both sides of the top part of the display until the display seats on the back. Make sure both sides are flush with the case.

    Repeat for the middle of the display. The bottom of the display will remain bent up because it will interfere with the bottom edge of the case.

    Now push/slide the display up so the top of the display lines up with the top of the case. The bottom should then snap into the base, and the display should be flush with the case all round.

    nigel - Antwort

    Yes - important to get those two rectangular brackets in place first but not all the way as you say.

    • Öffne das Display bis ca. 90 Grad und lehne es gegen etwas, damit es abgestützt ist, während du an dem Mobiltelefon arbeitest.

    • Zur Not hilft eine ungeöffnete Getränkedose.

    • Befestige das Display mit einem Gummiband, während du arbeitest. Das verhindert ein ungewolltes Dehnen der Displaykabel.

    A picture is worth a thousand words! This idea at Step 9 is perfect and you can definitely do the entire rest of the battery replacement WITHOUT having to disconnect the display from the rear case. Just leave it secured exactly as shown in this picture and you're good to go. I just completed the repair and the most difficult part was just lining up the new battery connector! Excellent instructions and generally EASY repair because this step was so helpful!

    Ryan - Antwort

    I did the same. Made the work go so much smoother!

    dcommins - Antwort

    I do NOT recommend leaving the display and the rear case connected during this repair. If you run into any resistance removing the battery, or slip in the least removing it, you risk tearing the ribbon cables that attach the two pieces. I did and now I've got to replace the Front Camera and Sensor Cable. Sadness.

    Ergolad - Antwort

    This procedure does not require the removal of the battery, so your comment is not applicable unless the batter is being replaced.

    Douglas Fichtner -

    I'm going to try it this way, because the odds of damaging the connector during removal seem greater than the risk of ripping the cable, however, I plan to cradle the phone in the "L" of simple, sheet metal bookend, and secure it using blue painter's tape. Seems more stable.

    bobcloninger - Antwort

    If you do this step carefully- (rubber band the front panel, and carefully peel away the battery adhesive) you can SKIP 13 THRU 19!

    I decided to do the repair on my iPhone 6 without detaching the screen. I ended up screwing two pieces of 3/4” x 3” x 6” wood together at right angles. I used 2 rubber bands to secure the screen to the vertical piece and 1 rubber band to secure the base to the horizontal piece. One of the two adhesive strips broke and I had to really work to get the battery out. The rubber bands held everything together nicely. The wood pieces were slightly wider than the phone which made it easy to hold everything together while I was working the adhesive strip out.

    brian - Antwort

    Mine worked great install went perfect. Was like a new phone… for a couple months. Phone may be failing for other reasons, but there’s a ghost image in the shape of the battery in the display now. Very strange. The ifixit kit did give life to it for a while though.

    smahar - Antwort

    Hey Smahar! If you still have your tools, I’d recommend opening your phone up to make sure the battery isn’t swollen. If it’s pressing against the screen, it’s possible that is the case. If it is swollen, I highly recommend you replace it, it can be dangerous to leave it in place.

    Sam Goldheart -

    I feel like I just pulled off a minor miracle, successfully detaching and reattaching those four connectors. In the past I have also used the lean-against-a-box variant. Now I carefully apply several short pieces of painter’s tape to create a temporary “hinge,” in combo with the lean-against-a-box variant. If the bottom piece could be SUCCESSFULLY SECURED [painter’s tape loops?] to my work surface this should avoid needing to deal with the four connectors. IMPORTANT NOTE: At the end of the day this repair will ALWAYS be about pulling the white stretchy adhesive tape out from under the battery. And again the painter’s tape comes into play. This last battery replacement when I started to pull out the two adhesive strips I also, several times, applied enough tape to combine the strips and form a single grab point. Also, removing the “vibration” block allowed the the pull angle to be insanely shallow. Slowly-but-surely, both strips successfully emerged and battery was totally released.

    Matthijs Rog - Antwort

    Agreed, the screwheads included in this kit didn’t work for me either. Fortunately my own toolbox has an appropriate screwdriver…. Seeing as how we are paying for this kit so we don’t need to purchase extra tools, iFixit should really include screwheads that actually work!

    Priscilla Cheng - Antwort

    When putting everything back together, I took care of steps 10-12 (or, more accurately 12-10) after reinserting the SIM (so between steps 20 & 19). It was easier to do before dealing with reconnecting the screen.

    Michael Amara - Antwort

    I had to use Phillips #00 for the 3.2mm (orange) and #0 for the 2.2mm (red). The #000 screw driver came in the toolkit is useless on both screws so I had to go out and buy new ones from a hardware store…

    Tung-wei Lin - Antwort

    My two screws are the same diameter - 1.1mm, taking a Philips PH000 driver. However the one toward the middle is 3.3mm long, the one nearer the side is 2.2mm long.

    Alastair Lack - Antwort

    So my kit didn’t come with the right screw driver, I should have read the comments first before buying.

    My iPhone 6 battery connector bracket has 3.2mm which the PH000 works. But the 2.2mm didn’t work with included Y000.

    What screw driver do I need for the 2.2 mm screw??

    John Palaganas - Antwort

    The heads on both of those screws are identical. The included PH000 is the correct driver. There are no Y000 screws anywhere in the iPhone 6.

    Jeff Suovanen -

    The Phillips in the repair kit worked fine. I did 2 phones with it.

    Eric Craumer - Antwort

    Just a followup to all the comments above for anyone who is confused: the drivers included in the repair kit work fine, assuming you know how to use a screwdriver correctly in the first place. There are quite a few folks who never learned, and that’s nothing to be ashamed of—in fact it’s common enough that we made a guide for it. Those bits were designed first and foremost to work with iPhone screws and have been extensively, extensively tested. You may come across stubborn screws or strip the heads if you’re not careful, and maybe that’s why some folks here are having trouble. In the very rare event that you actually received a malformed bit of some kind due to a manufacturing defect (which should be clear just from looking at it up close), reach out to customer service and they’ll get you squared away.

    Jeff Suovanen - Antwort

    I just completed the battery replacement and I too found that the PH000 did not sit properly in either the 3.2 or 2.2 mm screws. Using a magnifying glass it seemed that the PH000 driver bit did not sufficiently fill the space of the screw. I happen to have the iFixit Pro Kit and used the PH00 driver bit instead, and this seemed to fill the space of both screws much better leading to successful extraction and replacement. My lack of experience with phone repair may have been a factor, but it seemed at least for my particular phone the PH00 was the proper driver bit for these two screws.

    Jimmy Doi - Antwort

    The PH000 screwdriver I received cannot remove the smaller screw…

    Michael Pesenti - Antwort

    So I spend 34 bucks on a kit of tools to repair my phone and they send the wrong sized screwdriver to get the battery cover off. Awesome. I can get the larger screw out but not the smaller one. What a waste of time and money.

    Michael Pesenti - Antwort

    @michael_pesenti Those screw heads are the same; the screws are just different lengths. If you have the right driver for one, you have the right driver for both, unless someone put your iPhone together with the wrong screws.

    Jeff Suovanen -

    @jeffsu

    Nope. Actually turns out that ifixit just sent me a defective screwdriver that only was poorly sized and only managed to catch one of the screws. I had to order a new PH000 Screwdriver on Amazon and it got the screws out instantly and I was able to repair my phone.

    Michael Pesenti - Antwort

    I used the “Maximum” precision set from Canadian Tire and the PH#00 works nicely for both these screws.

    Matt - Antwort

    Screws in mine required different size drivers also - maybe because refurbished? But have had the same probs on mbps also. Felt silly but followed Jeff’s suggestion to look at the screwdriver best practice guide and realised I was stripping screws by using too small a driver - have a couple either side of the suggested size and use the largest one that catches - I mainly used PH#0 & 00, though some screws needed #000, and there wasn’t any consistency to which screws needed which driver.

    Trish - Antwort

    You’ll want to secure each screw as you remove it - if you sneeze they will fly away and you’ll never find them. I recommend having a small bowl or container for each screw you remove and label them for reassembly.

    Jennifer Porter - Antwort

    I was worried about getting the screws mixed up, so I used Sharpies to color-code each screw before I removed it (red, orange, or yellow - corresponding to the iFixit illustrations) When I marked the screw, the bracket got some color on it too, so when I was replacing the screw, I was confident that I was putting the right screw into the right position.

    I also made a template-board by tracing an outline of the phone in the center of a piece of cardboard, and then gluing pieces of masking tape onto the cardboard, sticky-side up, one piece of tape for each bracket I removed. I drew an outline of the part on the tape, and made a red or orange or yellow dot for each screw that came from the bracket. It made it super-easy to keep track of the disassembly and reassembly. Took a little longer, but I didn't damage the logic board by using the wrong screw, and I was relaxed throughout the repair.

    GPS and WiFi now work perfectly!!!

    Thank you iFixit and commentators

    Are you just out of luck if you start to strip a screw? The first, 3.2 mm came out easily but the 2.2 mm is a little worse for wear. I’d be grateful for any tips you might have.

    Andrea Nixon - Antwort

    Turns out the included PH000 head does work with both screws. They are both the same size gauge; only difference is the length. I had the same kind of trouble as most others trying to unscrew them. But if you carefully apply consistent direct downward pressure as you turn, the screw does disengage and unscrew. It helps to stand up over the work for more leverage. And it aids in keeping the screw driver head in full contact with screw head, so it doesn’t slip and strip the head.

    ARNOLD SCHWARTZ - Antwort

    I am surprised by all of the comments about the screwdriver bits being the wrong size - I have done several iPhone repairs now with the tools provided by iFixit, and the screwdrivers work perfectly for me every time.

    I skipped steps 13-19 and just left the front panel rubber banded while I removed the battery. I just made sure to be careful while removing the adhesive strips so as not to move around the body of the phone too much. Skipping the steps made the whole process much faster and easier.

    In trying to replace my antenna flex cable, I attempted to skip steps 13-19 but eventually gave up around step 31/32 as I simply didn’t have the access I needed - the space was just too cramped with the screen still attached and I was afraid I would break something. If you’re a novice, don’t have good lighting and a magnifying glass, etc. you may just want to go ahead and perform 13-19. (Yes it will take extra time of course.)

    You should power down the phone before disconnecting the battery. That said, the backlight should be fine. A blown backlight circuit is most commonly caused by disconnecting the display when the battery is still connected.

    Reza I. Permana -

    Thanks for that tip Tonima! This is another confirmation that skipping steps 13-19 worked out great!

    As an extra measure, in addition to leaving the front panel rubber banded in it's open, vertical position (I secured mine to a can of beans) and being very careful and controlled when removing the adhesive strips; before using the suction cup to separate the front panel from the rear case, I had secured the back side of the rear case to my working surface (kitchen table) with a strip of folded over duct tape (creating double sided tape). Such might not have been necessary as I held the rear case with one hand while removing the adhesive strips with the other, though it just felt safer having the rear case (as well as the front panel) well secured in place to help assure that I didn't accidentally cause any damage to those very fragile looking cables that were left connected, by any possible movements of either of the iPhone's halfs during the pulling to remove the adhesive strips.

    Russ Levey - Antwort

    It happened to me, by prying the battery connector with another tool I broke part of the socket off the board. However, by placing it exactly back in place the connector could be placed correctly and it works. Lucky.

    I skipped the steps removing the screen only because I didn't feel confident at all doing this. For someone who is used to electronics I would really suggest removing it because I imagine the whole process would've been easier. If there's a next time, perhaps I'll do that.

    Garret Gray - Antwort

    The suggestions that recommend skipping step 13-19 apply to some other repair. We replaced the display, and to do so, steps 13-19 are, of course, necessary.

    Gabriel Zachmann - Antwort

    When replacing the battery you should prepare the cable to sit in exactly as you see it in the picture. I had mine all the way back in (with sticky strips) and had to find a way to fit the cable in with the weird way it bends. Dry fit the battery with cable in place - lesson learned.

    Chet Seidel - Antwort

    Good idea. All the instructions were great until I got to the last thing- reattaching the battery connector! I like your recommendation to dry fit the connector so you can get the right bend to the connector ribbon first.

    I'm just wondering if my computer would still recognize my phone with the battery disconnected?

    Sare - Antwort

    It appears that I haven’t properly connected the battery back up, since the hard reset didn’t work. I did my best to connect the battery before adhering it to the battery spot, but the connector doesn’t seem to “click” or otherwise confirm that it is properly positioned. The left side of the connector (closest to the battery) seemed slightly raised, which made me wonder if I had done it correctly. So I’m probably going to have to try using my last adhesive strips to lay it in better to allow for a better connection. I’m also worried that I may have damaged the connection spot. Is there anywhere on here where this is discussed? This is my second battery replacement, but first on this particular phone, which is apparently a refurbished one (and which has a slightly different looking connector cover).

    Reattaching the battery connector was one of the more difficult parts of this repair. Once you place the battery on the rear cover and the adhesive sticks you cannot make any adjustments to position (even though I tried to just place it as lightly as possible at first). I did a dry run attaching the connector and placing the battery before removing the adhesive cover but I did not get it to sit the quite the same after removing the cover. I had to fiddle with the battery connector quite a bit to get it in place.

    I use a screw ID technique similar to griffn's; I print out the PDF version of the guide, then Scotch-tape each screw type to the guide at the step where the screw was removed. The screws are then distinguished by size and type at the point where they need to be reinstalled.

    # Make sure you're using the right screwdriver. (Get a magnifying glass & make sure the screwdriver fits nicely in the screwhead.) This guide is included in a guide I'm looking at, and my guide has a comment that #000 phillips is required for the battery connector bracket above, not #00 as documented. (That comment did not convey to this guide....)

    Patric - Antwort

    Hi Patric! We use a set of calipers to measure our screws, failing that you could use a very fine ruler. If you don't have any kind of measuring equipment, line the screws up on the magnetic mat and sort them by size there. Ideally you only have screws from this step! If you are trying to determine the size of all the screws in this guide, it's probably best to get a real ruler/caliper for the fine distinctions.

    There is no need to do this step. No need to remove these 5 screws. Just make sure the screen is propped up against something strong and this step is unnecessary for the proper removal and re-insertion of battery.

    arunhn - Antwort

    100% agree. Step 13-19 are totally unnecessary and just adds the risk of breaking the display connector. “Don’t disassemble stuff that doesn’t need disassembling.” Just ensure there’s no strain on the display cable when removing the battery, i.e. by placing the phone on a non-slippery rubbery surface and fix the display to something sturdy with rubber bands.

    Dormouse -

    I left the front panel connected and it was much quicker. But, if you have to wrestle with the battery, it is much safer with the front panel removed. If you have worked on a few phone before, I'd try removing the battery with the front panel connected. If the battery is giving you problems(like if you tear the strips and have to heat the backside), you can always come back to this step.

    Joel Horie - Antwort

    I strongly recommend you leave the display connectors alone if you can. My battery came out without a fight, but I found the display connectors to be almost tragically delicate, and I had white lines in the display when I booted it. During the subsequent attempts to remedy that situation, things went down hill and now I'm waiting for an entirely new display to try to rescue the phone from repair oblivion.

    I accidentally lost a 1.2mm screw while doing a screen replacement. Will this make the phone malfunction in anyway after I close it back up or its fine?

    Walter White - Antwort

    DO NOT DO THIS STEP. It is totally unnecessary to remove the connectors, and they are a really big pain to put back in, and there is risk of damaging them, and it adds a lot of time to the process of replacing the battery. Just securely prop up the front panel, and then if you gently heat the back of the phone when removing the adhesive strips, the battery comes off easily. I could have saved myself about 2 hours and a lot of frustration if I had just left these connectors in. I wish the instructions here would just include this step (connector removal) ONLY IF the battery doesn't come out easily.

    J Marr - Antwort

    Exactly, just like J, Marr indicates, this step is not necessary. Just make sure you're careful to not move the phone too much, otherwise you can damage the film connectors. Other than that I even heated my phone to remove the adhesive, and thank God, nothing bad happened to it.

    You cannot skip these steps, of course, when you want to replace the display (which was the kind of repair we did).

    When putting the little connectors in place again afterwards, I can recommend to hold the connectors to the display using a little rubber band. That way, they don’t get in the way when you put them in place one by one.

    Gabriel Zachmann - Antwort

    You SHOULD do the steps of removing the display. I have done battery replacements on several dozen phones. Of the ones I did NOT remove the cables, 2 of them had issues directly related to components related to these cables (front facing camera, earpiece speaker, etc.). Although tedious, I recommend removing these connectors to prevent any short circuit when reconnecting the new battery.

    I skipped this step and just affixed the screen to the Iphone box with a rubber band during replacement. I decided to take this risk to prevent some of the other issues that have been discussed when removing the screen.

On my repair, it worked out fine and I ensured that I took my time and kept the bottom of the phone held to the worksurface.

    Sherman Homan - Antwort

    I'm noticing some questions I have that others are asking yet no one is answering. You're all talking about the same problem that I find completely pointless. If you skip steps and it works, good for you move on. There are real questions being asked. Someone asked about losing a screw, would that effect anything? You all talk about the importance of having the screws organized, yet don't explain if someone either loses the screws or have them put into the wrong places. Since no one talks about it, I figured it wasn't as important as you all claim it is. Now my phone seems to not want to do anything anymore. Stop arguing with each other about something so miniscule like skipping steps. 40 comments on this part and 5 people actually have real problems but no answers. So, if anyone actually took the time to read this, my questions are; what happens if the screws are put in the wrong order?(other than the obvious long screw damage) and what happens if we put the phone back together without some screws?

    Sare - Antwort

    @sarery I’m a little puzzled by your question. If you’re not willing to put the screws back in the right place as instructed, despite all the warnings in both the guide and the comments, why would you want to attempt this repair in the first place? But nevertheless I will try to answer. Some screws, if left out, have no noticeable effect. That’s the best you can hope for. Other screws perform a vital function such as providing a path to ground. Some screws are made of nonferrous materials—getting those mixed up can interfere with things like compass functionality. And putting a wrong screw pretty much anywhere can result in cross-threading or component damage. The reason we go to the trouble of providing all these screw markings and measurements is to help you put your phone back together in perfect working order. Which you may still be able to do, if you are careful, and patient. Good luck.

    Gary Brinkworth - Antwort

    The phone will power on and work just fine without any of the screws in this particular step—the screws are for securing the bracket and keeping the connectors from popping out. I’m not sure what your issue could be, but a missing screw isn’t it! I’d probably start by reseating all the connections and giving it another try. Check the board carefully for damage. Try posting your question in our Answers forum with all the details and you may be able to get some troubleshooting help there. Good luck!

    Initially thought I would skip these steps, as many people said to skip steps 13-19, but I tried proceeding without removing the front panel, and my adhesive strips simply would not remove, even with heating….so off the front panel came.

    In my case the top left screw - the orange screw - stayed in the front panel assembly cable bracket and would not come out. Later on I realized that the standoff screw which is underneath stayed fixed in the 1.7 mm screw. In fact this was no problem and I didn’t need to figure out how to remove the standoff screw at step 36. I just put it back in altogether and it worked fine. I actually removed both screws at once.

    Hi alyssa. Were you able to connect the cables? I am having the same problem

    Veronica del Rio -

    regarding cable connects - if two of the ribbon cables are not properly overlapped around each other, then it will appear as if cable #2 will need to plug into the closest jack, which is actually for cable#3. Look at the two connectors carefully - they are opposite gender and can't be interchanged.

    David Panak - Antwort

    This is good advice, and usually the problem people experience here. There is a very specific way the ribbon cables are layered, and if not correct when reassembled, the reach of the cables will cause you to assume which cable goes where and to try to insert the wrong plugs into the wrong sockets. Please do not try to force them. If they don't snap in easily, examine them closely, and you'll see the plugs and sockets are slightly different sizes, with one wider than the other. Better to take care to note how the cables layer during disassembly, or perhaps mark them to avoid this frustration on reassembly.

    I'm with Andrew Midgett. The connectors are just plain different in size and orientation. My phone matches what's shown in the picture above. You can see an example of the replacement part if you search Amazon for "Sanka LCD Touch Screen Digitizer Frame Assembly Full Set Screen Replacement for iPhone 6". And Sanka isn't the only iPhone 6 replacement that looks like that, so no hating on that manufacturer here.

    Does this mean that some iPhone 6 phones have one set of connectors and some have a different set? FWIW, the model on the back of my phone says A1549.

    Update: Searching for iPhone 6S instead of 6 on Amazon, I see lots of replacement screens with connectors that look a lot more like what I have and what's shown in the picture above.

    +1 for a photo showing the correct layering and routing of cables. I accidentally routed the home button ribbon above the digitizer ribbon and beneath the power and backlight ribbons. The uneven pressure it put on the digitizer connector after tightening the plate caused my digitizer to not recognize touching the display or made touches appear off center.

    For everybody who thinks they can skip these steps I commend you. No way I would have been able to get my battery out - two broken strips - without removing the screen. Re-inserting these cables was not really difficult - once the first one is back in place the rest follow quickly.

    I tried to reconnect these for ages until I watched a video of someone else doing it.

    Don’t try to line up the connectors by looking at them with the screen leaning on a soda can, just hold the two halves in each hand and line the first one up by feel. Really. After that it’s plain sailing.

    Even with great lighting I couldn’t make this work with the bits on the bench - yet when I picked them up it was really easy to feel them line up. I had all four popped back on in about 60 seconds.

    NO NO NO ! i am a professional iphone repairman and i strongly recommend against using ANY tool to disconnect the flex connectors if u slip or use to much force you will damage the connector and may cause permanent damage to the phones logic board rendering it completely UNrepairable! Instead gently use the edge of your fingernail and pry up and the connectors will usually come off with very little effort .

    taylor sparks - Antwort

    Fingernails work great as well! However, there's nothing wrong with using a tool, as long as you exercise a little caution. If you've ever seen one of Apple's iPhone service manuals, you'll note that they use the exact same tool as iFixit (Apple calls it a "black stick" and iFixit dubs it a "spudger.")

    Re-connecting display data cable was trickiest part for me - my eyes are old! I had to do it a couple of times as the cable had indeed popped off its connector, resulting in a black screen when turned on. Needs lots of patience and good lighting, also helped to have a really good look at plug and socket under magnifying glass to see how they fit together, and to reconnect using finger rather than tool - this helped me feel when I had eventually connected properly.

    Trish - Antwort

    Followed steps to a “T” - got phone up and running successfully! However, there is a vertical line in the center of the screen that changes color with whatever button is being displayed in the center screen. For example, a dead battery icon shows a red vertical line, acknowledging a blue “OK” button when setting up the phone shows a blue vertical line, etc. Essentially it’s not a black screen or white lines. Could it be that the display data connector is not correctly attached or perhaps a faulty connector?

    During the reassembly, the ordering of the ribbons on the iFixit part at the top of the phone were mis-layered. The display data cable connector and the digitizer cable connector (steps 18 and 19 in the guide) were swapped in there ordering. This was fixed by my disassembly of the camera bracket following the guide 'iPhone 6 Front-Facing Camera and Sensor Cable Replacement'. This allowed me to fix the layered ordering of the connectors.

    I finished with the rest of the connectors and put the bracket and screws back to Place and hit the powerbutton. IT WORKED!

    I Had two repairs on separate phones, and got sloppy on the second one and pressed the middle of this connector with my finger. It bent the right side ever so slightly. I thought I’d read the comments before ordering a new screen and I’m glad I did. I then took a closer look and saw on the right side the two rows of points at the end weren’t running parallel anymore. Using the tweezers from the kit I squeezed the misaligned rows back true and tried one more time to install, focusing on the right (previously damaged) side first to ensure it snapped into place. Voila! All is well.

    I’ll strongly agree that this is the most difficult and time consuming step of reassembly. As Pau has stated it is vital that the cables are layered in the correct order before you begin attempting the connections.

    Check back to Step 21. It’s not clear from the photos, but the ribbons can be run under each other. The display connection and the home button connection can become transposed at Step 21.

    If in doubt, check the size of the connections and re-order accordingly.

    My first attempt resulted in loss of touch response to a vertical column of app icons on the screen. From the Safari app at the bottom to the top of the screen, every app icon in that column was unresponsive to touch. Couldn’t open them. And this was true for every screen, including a corresponding bundle of letters and numbers in the same screen location when trying to use the keyboard. I did a hard reset any number of times without success until I finally realized the pattern: the vertical column of unresponsiveness.

    I remembered the caveat about connecting the digitizer cable — don’t press the center, do each side — and figured I must have made a bad connection. So I opened up the case again and went all the way down to the digitizer connection and did it more carefully, as advised. Sure enough, problem solved. Take the precaution.

    Replacing the digitizer cable was accomplished by moving the base to line up with the flexible connection then using a finger to press into place feeling that the connection was correct worked, then pressing into place with a click of confirmation. the rest of the cables fell into place afterword.

Now I can't seem to find any kits with a complete replacement...not sure if this is going to affect my fingerprint id capability because I'm having another issue of my phone being disabled due to the cracked lcd that caused the security code to be input several times which has locked me out completely. I'm still trying to find a way to not lose the pictures and videos that I haven't downloaded to my computer. Anyone have any ideas on either issue? Thanks in advance! ;-)

    • Löse mit der Spitze eines Spudgers das Home Button Kabel, indem du es hoch und dann weg vom Home Button drückst.

    During this step, I couldn't separate the two connectors. I accidentally managed to tear the flex cable which passes under the LCD shield/plate and up to the other LCD connectors which attach to the motherboard. Can this cable be replaced to restore Touch ID functionality if everything else is intact?

    I can't see any special chip on that part, just seems like an I/O connector?

    James - Antwort

    Yep you can. Touch ID functionality won't be lost.

    Didier Daniel -

    I have managed to separate the connector with quite a lot of patience and perseverance. Although there is no sign of physical damage on either side (button end, button-cable/plate end) the Touch ID functionality was lot. Assuming that the damaged side is that of the button cable/plate, this item is not sold on the EU store.

    Massimo Pinto -

    I have found by gently heating the broken screen side with a heat gun or reworker, it makes removing the home button and the connector so much easier to remove with the tip of the spudger and a press on the home button from the front side

    darren - Antwort

    During reassembly the home button did not function. I verified the connectors were seated correctly but no read of touch nor of even pressing to return to home screen. This was resolved by me following the guide 'iPhone 6 Home Button Cable Replacement' to swap out my old, original shield plate with the one on the iFixit unit (effectively replacing the home button cable connector with my original one).

    Now up and running.

    Ryan - Antwort

    Disconnecting the connector is tricky. Take your time and don't rush it. The pointed spudger end is a little thick to get under there, so I used a corner of the flat end, very carefully.

    • Der Gummi-Membranring um den Home Button ist sehr dünn und reißt leicht.

    • Erwärme den Home Button ein wenig (mit einem iOpener, einem Heißluftgebläse oder einem Haartrockner), damit der Kleber, mit dem der Membranring befestigt ist, aufweicht.

    • Drücke gleichmäßig und fest mit der Fingerspitze von der Vorderseite her auf den Home Button, bis sich der Membranring vom Frontpanel abzulösen beginnt.

    • Drücke den Home Button nicht komplett durch - du musst nur eine Ecke freilegen, damit du den Button mit einem Spudger heraushebeln kannst.

    I used a hair dryer on this part. It made removing the home button extremely easy. Just take it slow

    peterhubner - Antwort

    I too used a hair dryer and slow pressure as did Peter. I found that the adhesive would slowly release if I just held a little constant pressure with my finger and waited.

    Patrick Langvardt - Antwort

    This being my first time I found that this step and the following steps to be the most difficult and time consuming. It required A LOT of patience because the rubber membrane and the adhesive holding the cable really don’t want to release without sufficient heating and I was concerned about overheating the assembly. Using a hair dryer on the slowest setting finally worked.

    fiftysomething - Antwort

    Cette étape demande vraiment de la patience. J’ai juste attendu en exerçant une faible pression et au bout d’un moment ça s’est décollé.

    Il ne faut pas mettre trop de pression et avoir un bon éclairage pour voir l’état de la membrane au fur et à mesure.

    Chloé Bossuette - Antwort

    I made the mistake of not using a hair dryer, I slowly pried the part up but in doing so the adhesive strip was no longer reusable. With no glue in the house I used a piece of the old battery adhesive strip as I changed the battery first. I cut the strip into very fine pieces, placed them under the steel cover plate in order to pinch the rubber gasket. Changing the battery and glass plate was easy but the tiny adhesive strip held me up for over an hour. Without the adhesive strip on the rubber gasket the push button will not work. I need to find out what glue is suitable for this application.

    Joseph O'Brien - Antwort

    Joseph, I use this tape. The version I use is made by 3M. I find it’s a good compromise—strong enough to hold well, but loosens with heat and isn’t so strong that you rip the membrane (or whatever delicate phone part you’re working with) should you need to remove it. I’m not endorsing Amazon; you can get this stuff on eBay, from most phone repairers, etc. It comes in 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 6mm, 8mm, 1cm—just about any width you’d want, and is fairly easy to work with.

    This step really requires patience- I had to heat the area several times and “spudge” from both sides before the cable successfully loosened. Even under a strong magnifying glass, it will look like the middle section with the tiny circuit board is fused into the plastic, but it’s just strong adhesive, which eventually softens.

    Dan - Antwort

    Dan, is there any source that indicates the maximum temperatures to which you can heat the different areas of an iPhone when necessary to loosen adhesives? Or time/power parameters for specific heat guns?

    Tomas Delaveau -

    This part almost killed me. In the video, they’ve already loosened the adhesive so she pops it right off. The hair dryer should be set to hot and low blowing. It’ll take a few minutes & a few tries) to loosen the adhesive. I aimed at all sides of the cable (ie at both ends where the cable meets the case & straight on at the circuit board). To finally get it off, I mixed up using a spudger to play with it and a very fine tweezer to finally get a good enough grip to pull the button assembly off.

    • Möglicherweise ist bei deinem Ersatzteil eine zusätzliche Kreuzschlitzschraube links vom Home Button angebracht. Entferne diese unnötige Schraube, damit du die Halterung des Home Buttons befestigen kannst.

    One thing to note for re-assembly. You have to make sure the home button is firmly in place. Otherwise, a lack of adhesive will cause the home button to sink into the iPhone after it's fully assembled when you try to press it.

    rskrobe - Antwort

    Are you sure that you screwed the metal plate back in far enough? I don't have any issues and can't believe that Apple would rely on adhesive to hold the home button from sinking into the phone. Especially as it's the most pressed button on the iPhone.

    Thomas Hallett -

    Yeah, you have to buy new gaskets if you want you're home button to stick to the digitizer frame when pressing. Don't believe me? Just see what happens when you press the button without new adhesive :) And heck I bought 50 gaskets for only $5 from China.

Apparently without this metal the touch ID cannot be enabled. That said .. I'll not know on this phone since after following these directions and finding out I needed to pull apart the home button a second time to place this metal plate there the connector would not separate and it ripped the flex cable from the connectors completely. Now it's time to get a new home button and touch ID will never work on this phone again :(

    The only “problem” that I had, was that the home button connector on the iFixit replacement screen assembly was “floating” and made it very difficult initially to connect the home button cable connector. i eventually glued it down to the screen assembly with some Pritt glue and the connection was easy.

After performing a “Hard Reset” the previously entered fingerprints returned and functionallity has been completely normal for a couple of days now. I will repost if another failure occurs.

    My home button was extremely loose when installed in this fashion. To help remedy it, I installed the gasket sandwiched between the button and glass instead of on the rear face of the button. Not perfect, but a much better feel. Prior to that, the button actually stuck out further than the glass.

    The new screen from your Store came with not one—but 2—screws, and they were loose in the package. I used one where the photo shows a screw in the top right of the button bracket, but I didn’t compare the new screen to the old one further to figure out where the second one *might* have been needed. So far, phone is restored, and I’ll only go back to place the screw if the phone ever acts up (or someone here comes on to warn me of certain doom). Thanks once again iFixit for the part, the tools, the video, the step-by-steps, and this community. Could not have done this without any of you!

    Sue Livingston - Antwort

    There seems to be a step missing? The little connector that the home button is plugged into seems to be glued pretty hard onto the frame. How is that supposed to be loosened?

    It's not glued in, it's "plugged into" the logic board. You just need to unplug it. Take your time and gently pry it up from one corner. Eventually it will pop off.

Its a good advice to remove the battery power before mounting the flex-cables.

There is power on the second logic-board (even if the phone is turned off) connector from top, misplacing it while assembly can cause short circuit.

Good advice two: When removing the LCD back shield plate have in mind that the home button connector attached to the shield plate is Very fragile. Its adhered to the screen. Use very little force and do not heat the adhesive too much because then it become even More fragile.

Why go this route when going through apple is cheaper?

jonathanzollinger - Antwort

Firstly, some people don't have access to a local Apple Store. For example, some more rural states like Alaska, Iowa, or Idaho only have one Apple store, and Montana doesn't have any. Besides that, if you're skilled and confident enough at this procedure it is more convenient to do the work yourself rather than having to go out and get the job done on someone else's schedule.

Because you're wrong and it's not cheaper. Buying the parts here is expensive. Elsewhere it's like $20-30 so.. duh.

Lauren May - Antwort

Sometimes the screw holes/threads in the display don't align perfectly with the ones in the case. Try pressing down gently on the lower edge of the display and see if the screws go in any further. When the display is aligned correctly, the screws should go in very easily. Just experiment a little, and you'll get it. The only exception I've found is with cheap replacement displays, where the alignment can be a lot more difficult to get right because the part itself isn't really within spec.

Gaby Luong -

Read the instructions and comments on this step. You most likely have a digitizer with an incomplete connection to the logic board. Disconnect it and reconnect it, making sure the socket is clean and the connector gets fully seated, and try again. If that doesn’t work, you may have a damaged connector, a damaged cable, or a faulty replacement part. If your old display still works, swapping it back in for a quick test may help you narrow it down. Good luck!

If your replacement screen looks bluish, try turning on "Night Shift" in "Display & Brightness" setting at all times (e.g. 10AM to 9:59AM), and then adjust the "Color Temperature" until it looks natural.

I have done numerous iphone 6 front assembly replacements but the last two i ordered from ifixit have been defective which means one thing.. I just lost a client. If you order an iphone 6 full assembly, I would go ahead and order the most expensive one. The less expensive ones ( had this problem with the last two I ordered) do not close near the volume buttons.. you can see into the phone and there is a ripple right above the home button anytime the slightest pressure is put on the phone .. either on the screen or home button. Thats two assemblys being returned for being defective. I have been fixing phones for quite a while and this is the first time this has happened to me with any of the parts I ordered from ifixit. Pretty disappointing. Now I have to take this phone to a repair shop and pay them to do it and pay full price just so I can get the phone back to the client. What a bummer.

I'm in China, so i ordered a replacement screen on Taobao for about 300 RMB ($40) and followed these instructions.

Very clear guide, excellent photos and it really pointed out the mistakes not to make.

It took me about 30 minutes on my lunch break at my desk. And now my fully functioning phone is back - home button works, front-facing camera works, earpiece works. All good.

If you take your time, get the correct tools and follow these instructions to the letter, I think pretty much anyone could do this replacement.

Thanks to the author and other commenters for providing input.

Mike Ward - Antwort

Easy peasy. Only fiddly part was trying not to tear the membrane on the Home button. The accompanying video did not mention disconnecting the battery but was helpful for orientation. Magnifying glasses helpful for old farts.

Lawrence Ebisuzaki - Antwort

Issue: iPhone 6 "y" spot when texting (with the phone being held upright) isn't reponsing when pressed. The screen isn't cracked, looks great.

Of course, it's been turned on and off. Would replacing the screen fix the dead spot or am I wasting my money.

tgodwin06 - Antwort

This is a good guide, but it is literally a miracle that reattaching the ribbon cables fixed my iPhone touch unresponsiveness. Seriously, a direct answer to prayer.

Joshua Boak - Antwort

i think i've screwed up in the way, after replacing my screen both my cameras and flash stopped working, it must have got short circuited. can someone please guide me through fixing it, i'm sure the screen and the cable are genuine as they are from another iphone.

Santosh Karnati - Antwort

The only way you could have short circuited the parts is if you did not disconnect the battery. It's more likely you did not connect the cables correctly and inadvertently disconnected the rear camera cable during reassembly. Have you tested the flash using the flashlight feature or only the camera? It's possible the flash isn't firing solely because there's no camera detected.

Evan Noronha -

I'm disappointed in my replacement assembly. Looking at the comments, it seems that I'm not the only person who's assembly leaks light above the mute rocker and seems less "touchy" than the original screen. Clicking an "a" from the onscreen keyboard, for instance, rarely results in an "a" showing up. You've got to punch at it a few times, which becomes really annoying after only a few sentences.

I've ordered other replacement screens from iFixIt and have been very happy with them in the past. The iPhone 6 replacement assembly isn't quality and I would not recommend purchasing it.

I purchased the front panel assembly to repair a cracked screen. After completing the repair, the iPhone would not turn on - it went into a reboot loop, intermittently showing a flashing red screen. I did a hard restart, (unsuccessfully) attempted a DFU restore, all with the same results. Eventually, I checked all the connections on the front assembly to the phone one by one (with the phone disassembled, I plugged in each connector and CAREFULLY booted up the phone). Eventually I narrowed it down to the home button connector on the new front assembly. With this cable attached the phone would not boot, without it connected the phone booted immediately (obviously without a functional home button).

I swapped the aluminum plate from the original front assembly with the new front assembly (the aluminum plate has the home connector cable attached). This immediately fixed the problem and the phone immediately booted and has worked perfectly since then.

Matt F -

Thanks for the great and accerssible guide. Having repaired a few iPhone 5's, this was really easy to get into. However I do have one perssisting problem.

I bought an iPhone 6 replacement screen assembly from the eustore. When assembling everything, I found that the home button connector cable on the bottom of the display unit (step 25) is too long in my replacement part. Thus, it overlaps with the little circuit board part of the home button cable, so the metal bracket does not fit too well when reassembled. This causes the home button to bea little loose, so it can't be fastened in a flush position with the display glass. This bothers me so much that I disassembled everything again, to try and change the position of the wires, without finding a satisfying solution. Is this a known problem with the display assembly?

Christoph Ley - Antwort

I have the same problem, I assume. The bracket didn't seem to sit flat when mounting to the screen, and now the home button wobbles.

kwschnautz -

Followed this guide to fix my broken front panel assembly (got a little mad and my phone paid the price unfortunately). Fortunately though I was able to purchase this kit, and while nerve-wracking, it all worked out great.

irosstheboss15 - Antwort

I have a replacement lcd panel for my iphone 6plus. my screen is black and unresponsive. how do i make sure my phone is powered down before beginning repair? how do i power it down if the screen is black and unresponsive?

Kelly Pinette - Antwort

First make sure it is on, you should be able to toggle the silent/ring switch, and it should vibrate if the phone is on, if not, it's probably off (unless you've disables vibration settings). If the phone is on, you might opt to leave it for a day or so to run the battery down to be safe. Otherwise you'll want to be very careful opening the phone and disconnect the battery, carefully, as soon as you can.

Sam Goldheart -

If I buy the screen assembly with digitizer, can I use the old, working home button with the new screen? How would I go about removing the home button assembly for both screens? (old and new). Would it just be the same as step 26 and attaching the touch ID one instead?

Hasitha Fernando - Antwort

Follow steps 20-26 to remove your original home button from the broken screen. If your new screen comes with a home button, remove it as well. Put your original home button on the new screen and then install the screen.

Jeff Suovanen -

The screen I replaced was completely smashed, the islack and suction couldn't hold it so I taped up the screen and used the islack again.

So easy to replace, but just be careful with the home button, it is stuck on real good so prize it out slowly and carefully.

Peter Chan - Antwort

So step 17 with the display cable. I have reconnected it and power cycled 5 times. Still the same result with the white lines. Does the connector come loose that easily? All of them are snapping into place. Any suggestions or have I ruined the screen?

volvoboy29 - Antwort

It doesn't come loose that easily. My guess is, it's not getting fully reconnected to begin with. Disconnect the battery, disconnect the display, reconnect the display and then the battery, and do a hard reset. If that doesn't work, you may have a bent pin, a damaged display cable, a defective display, or some other issue.

Jeff Suovanen -

Thanks for the reply Jeff. I rechecked everything....even the pins. The display is actually defective. I charged it up and powered it on to see the full display. On the left side there is a crack under the screen....Like inside the digitizer itself. It bubbles out like the screen is busted and seems the white lines are like a domino effect from that. Must have happened at the warehouse. The shipping box had no damage and neither did the screen itself. Was the first defective product I've gotten from Ifixit....So it was a surprise. Hopefully they will swap them out so I can finish this iPhone. Thanks again for the reply.

volvoboy29 -

Great guide! If you're attempting to replace a broken screen and save a few bucks, then you probably bought the LCD + Digitizer, without the button, earpiece, and camera. I would direct you to the Front-Facing Camera and Sensor Replacement guide, with one quick note about the home button: In order to have a functioning home button with touch ID it will need to be connected to the device. I almost missed removing the LCD back-plate from my old display. On the back plate is the cable to connect your Home button to the device. It's important so I would recommend removing the back plate immediately after step 26. It can be removed by unscrewing 3 of the 00 Phillips head screws from each side of the bracket. You should end up with 3 from each side and 1 more from the top right of the screw button, making 7 in total. Re-installation of the back plate can be a bit awkward as you have to either turn the display on its side or replace the screws from a horizontal angle. I hope that helps anyone who had trouble like me

Dalton Chaney - Antwort

This is all true, and we have a complete guide specifically for this scenario. It is linked in the introduction above. ;)

I purchased the front panel assembly to repair a cracked screen. After completing the repair, the iPhone would not turn on - it went into a reboot loop, intermittently showing a flashing red screen. I did a hard restart, (unsuccessfully) attempted a DFU restore, all with the same results. Eventually, I checked all the connections on the front assembly to the phone one by one to be sure they are connected well. Still the same problem. I saw someone else posted a comment with the same problem and found the problem to be with the home button connection. So I unplugged the home button first from the front assembly with no improvement, then I unplugged the home button from the phone side with no results. I put the original screen assembly back on the phone and it works great. Does anyone have any ideas or solutions I would greatly appreciate it?

David - Antwort

I found that the the front camera ribbon cable assembly which was pre-assembled with the screen was faulty causing the red screen of death bootloop and the phone worked after I unplugged it. So I took the original off of my original screen assembly and put it on the new one. Now it works great. It is disappointing that after paying for the complete assembly I still had to change and move things around. I hope nothing else goes out on this screen in a few days.

David -

I replaced the display on an iPhone 6. Transferred the home button and front camera components to the new display. Put it all back together. Worked perfect for about 20 minutes then all of a sudden the display disappeared only the backlighting is working with no image. I opened the phone back up to check the connections. All were fine. Decided to plug in the old display and boom backlighting with an image. I'm guessing the new display is no good or has anyone had a similar problem and was able to rectify it??

Aerial L - Antwort

Sounds like you needed the Front Panel guide, not the Assembly guide. This guide is a simpler version for a more complete part. The intro warns "If your replacement part does not have a speaker or front-facing camera sensor cable you should follow the complete transfer guide." Check that guide out instead!

kreigmartinez - Antwort

If you want to avoid a potential "error 53" in the future when updating your iPhone, you will need to get the screen metal shield from the cracked screen and replace it on the new screen. The screen metal shield has the cable that connect the home button to the motherboard.

If you just replace the cracked screen with a new assembly one ( which has its own metal shield and home button cable glued to it ) the iPhone motherboard could potentially not recognize your home button sensor and go into "brick mode" .

There is a video from the guys at ifixit.com explaining this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IEWAQiu...

I cracked the screen of my iPhone 6 and will replace it myself following my suggestions

Patrick Putignano - Antwort

Error 53 was resolved with iOS 9.3, so there's not really much danger of bricking your phone anymore.

Jeff Suovanen -

I replaced the cracked screen and ported over the metal shield from the cracked screen in order to avoid any potential issues with the home button.

The hardest part was to unstick the lower connector of the home button flat cable: that glue was quite strong and the possibility of damaging the flat cable was quite realistic!

Thanks to the guide all went well!

Even with having to pull the camera and home button replacing the screen really isn't too hard of a repair. Just follow the instructions and mark your parts (including screws) as you remove them.

Nate - Antwort

Great informational guide. Highlighting the concerns in red helps you to identify the possible failure/focus points. Replacing the digitizer and the Touch ID button were made easy because of it. Thank you for the detailed illustrations. The excitement I feel completing this project is so satisfying!

Carlton Walker - Antwort

I just replaced my front panel assembly for my cracked screen. Even though it took me forever ( I am slow!) everything went well. The only trouble I had was when I was screwing in the last screw! I tried and tried and finally reopened the face and took a look. One of the screw holes in the tab of the new screen replacement cover had not been drilled through! I worked on it a little, bent it and then it broke off. I now only have one screw in place of the original 2. The cover of course snaps into place nicely and it is holding with one screw. What would you do?

I replaced a cracked screen on an iPhone 6. Changed the home button from the old screen to the new. Double checked all my connections with a dual lens magnifier for proper connection. Reassembled everything……… BUT now when I turn it back on to reboot all I get on the screen is the apple icon with a white background………. HELP???? It will flash on and off every few seconds with the same apple icon in the middle of the screen with a white background and won’t fully reboot. What am I missing? is the new screen kit bad? Should I swap the back metal shield with touch ID cable? I’ve fixed more i5’s then I can count but this is my first i6 fix…….………..

Kerenvaisman1 - Antwort

I took this on. I though it would be easy, but it did get a little difficult for me mostly because I’m an old guy and my eyes aren’t that great anymore, so handling the tiny screws and getting the microphone and proximity sensor assembly all back together right was a challenge. I think if I get one of those hood things with the magnifying glasses I’ll be a better iFixiter. Other than that everything worked just as I expected and as described in the tutorials. I completed a successful replacement of my wife’s cracked iPHone 6 display. She’s very happy and I’m very happy because we saved a good chunk of change and she only had to be without her phone for about 4 hours. It did get a little “dicey” after the first hour of her not having her phone…but…mission accomplished….LOL!!! Thanks iFixit!

Gordon Campbell - Antwort

Tolle Anleitung, die Reparatur hat super geklappt, danke dafür!

Jannis Jasperneite - Antwort

In your tear down you did not mention the removal and reinstall on the touch button ribbon heat plate. When I purchased my new screen / digitizer it did not come with one. When removing the screws, Three on the left stripped out. It was a pain… had to take it to a local phone repair place to have them extract. After that it was ok until reconnecting the (4) ribbons. they would not connect in sequence. After a frustrating time, figured out the heat plate was not installed correctly. There is a little flap at the top of the new screen that had a small piece of tape that needed to be removed. Then that flap needed to be placed under the plate to allow the ribbons to align. Have to say that steady hands really help. Those micro screws are tricky with large shaky hands.

Steve henderson - Antwort

I just replaced a cracked screen and a worn out battery with iFixit parts. Very straightforward, I had read the instructions and watched the video several times, and never even had to refer back to them during the procedure. One tip for you guys, when you sell a battery, does it not make sense to also sell the special tapes that hold it to the case? double sided tape works, but still, you are missing out on a perfect opportunity for an add on sale (would you like fries with that?). I sure would have ordered them if prompted…

I just replaced the screen and battery on my IPhone 6 and everything went without a hitch, even when the adhesive strips broke. However, once I installed the screen and turned it on, the colors look dull, like they are lacking contrast. All the functionality is working correctly, and the screen is perfectly responsive. Is this an issue with the part? could it be a problem with the installation?

Marina Menendez - Antwort

Really great guide. Pictures are super clear and the screw size identification is great. Tip for keeping track of the screws - use a white piece of paper and note the step and screw size and then place the screw next to the note so you don’t lose track of each screw.

Also, really easy to break the home button cable strap. Perhaps follow the guide which says use heat, rather than force. Let’s just say I broke mine. Now I have no touch ID. First world problem.

Mark Earl - Antwort

Very thorough and concise. I completed this and was extremely pleased with the clarity of the guide. The only part that made me nervous was the reconnecting of the digitizer display cable and the like. Other than that, I felt ‘somewhat’ confident armed with this guide. Many thanks!

I have just replaced screen assembly. New screen is very dim after iPhone starts -up. Could this be a problem with proximity sensor?

The screen only seems dim at the point the PIN number is required (seems oK when Apple logo is displayed during bott process).

Darrell Haslam - Antwort

@haslamit Make sure Auto Brightness is turned on in Settings, and Reduce White Point is turned off. Open Control Center and watch the brightness slider as you slowly walk from a very bright area to a very dark one and back. If the slider doesn’t move and brightness doesn’t change, there may be a problem with your new screen or with the screen’s ambient light sensor. It could be malfunctioning, or could be installed incorrectly. Also, sometimes new screen components are covered by protective films that need to be removed before installation. Hope this helps!

Will - Antwort

That sounds like a pretty straightforward case of a faulty replacement part. If it came from iFixit, just contact the customer support folks and they’ll fix you up with an exchange unit. Before you do that though, compare the new display with the old one and make sure it’s the correct part—I keep seeing first-timers trying to install a 6s display in a standard iPhone 6 or vice versa, and that’s never going to work no matter how many times you try ;)

After I change my screen if I connect de home button my screen will not came on what can be de cost please some one should help

Don Papi - Antwort

Everything on my phone seems like new after my screen replacement except ……. the home button doesn’t work!

I’ve tried disconnecting and reconnecting the home button connection (very small and fiddling) and I’ve done the same with the battery connector and the home button connection on the logic board but still no different!

Any ideas?

The thing that I’m not happy about was the home button removal, there didn’t seem like there was much adhesive holding it in. The cable attached to it was reasonably secure though but even so came away easy. This seems contrary to other comments I’ve read on here where they have had a lot of difficulty.

Alan - Antwort

@algy Maybe try reinstalling your old display, and see if the home button works. The home button connects to the logic board by way of a cable that’s part of the display assembly, which you just replaced—so if it works with the old display but not the new one, the most likely answer is you received a defective replacement part.

Jeff Suovanen -

Hi Jeff, thanks for your suggestion, that was my next step. So, I’ve just done that and everything works perfect again - except the broken screen of course, but no problem with the home button!

just got to convince the suppliers now of course

inyourfaceal - Antwort

In your other tutorials, you mention adding heat when removing the screen (e.g in iphone 8 screen repair tutorial) to loosen up the adhesive, is that not needed on this model?

Also, the parts you sell, are they OEM?

There’s no adhesive securing the screen on iPhone 6 and earlier models—that actually makes them easier to work with. As for the OEM question, it varies tremendously based which part you need. Have a look here.

Broken screen replacement and major tool is a suction cup to grip the screen??!??! Come on no one said wait, if their screen is broken how will you secure it to a broken screen?

Tim Foote - Antwort

Hi Tim! Concerns about removing a broken display are directly addressed in step two! “Lay overlapping strips of clear packing tape over the iPhone's display until the whole face is covered. This will keep glass shards contained and provide structural integrity when prying and lifting the display.” and “If the broken glass makes it difficult to get a suction cup to stick in the next few steps, try folding a strong piece of tape (such as duct tape) into a handle and lifting the display with that instead.” This guide is also used as a prereq for every other replacement guide, so many screens are intact when the user opens the phone to replace a battery or speaker.

roiegat - Antwort

completed and works great. Thanks!

Timothy Bargeron - Antwort

Regarding the issue of touch ID not working:

This is how I solved the problem and thought I would contribute:

After I disassembled the phone, changed the front panel and reassembled the phone, the touch ID did not work.

I then reopened the phone, disconnected the battery, twisted the phone so it was lying in reverse with the screen facing down and the bottom of the phone standing in 90 degrees. Then I removed the home button bracket (shown in step 22), disconnected the home button cable connector (step 23), connected the home button cable connector back again and this time it sort of “clicked” into the socket and when I pressed on the top of it again a second time it felt like it sort of clicked into it one extra time or further into it.

Then I put the home button bracket back on again, connected the battery, switched the phone on and the touch ID works.

Hopes this helps!

After having changed a dozen of iPhones’ batteries for friends, I had to change the display of my iPhone 6. I meticulously followed the instructions given here and encountered no problems at all. The home button needs to be handled with care, other than that it’s quite an easy change.

After I had connected the new display, I also connected the battery and started the phone having it open like a clamshell, just to be sure I didn’t make any mistakes. Everything started as it should. Then I shut it off again for the final assembly.

Sounds like a blown backlight circuit. That’s very fixable for a professional with microsoldering skills, but it’s an advanced repair that is beyond the scope of this guide.

Jeff Suovanen -

Merci pour ce tutoriel les explications sont vraiment claire et précise

Fernando Natali - Antwort

Hi, I found these instructions to be immensely helpful. However, the replacement part iFixit sent is missing a feature - the case won’t close completely because there is nothing to receive the P2 Pentalobe screws. The original part has two tabs that the screws bite into, you can see them in picture 8, if you imagine the open case is a mouth they are the “fangs” poking down from the top. Again, the replacement part doesn’t have these.

Anyone else have this problem? This seems like a big deal because the case won’t close and dirt and pocket lint are going to get inside the phone.

Hello Jessica. What you say is a mistake. All screens have those hooks for pentalobe. Contact iFixit and request a change from that screen.

Hi please which component should be changed when the iPhone 6 does not charge and not turn on

Larry Wilson - Antwort

Step 0: It always reflects more favorably on the submitter when the submitter posts a question to a relevant place, instead of stopping at the first place he/she came to.

Step 1: check your lightning cable connector. In my experience, the 3rd pin from the left (connector end of cable pointing to you) develops carbon build-up (and even pitting, as if from electical arcing.) Use a q-tip with alcohol to clean these 2 pins on the connector. You may get better results from using an alcohol-soaked wooden toothpick. This applies to pins on both sides (“top” & “bottom”) of the connector. With the phone off, do the same for the matching contacts on the phone’s female lightning socket. When cleaning the socket, move the alcohol tool (toothpick) in and out, along the direction of the contact. If you rub side-to-side, you will likely push the socket contacts out of alignment.

Step 2: if step 1 doesn’t improve things, then exert a little more effort to find a relevant page for your question on this site.

Best!

This was far easier than the changing the screen on a 5S.

Matt Morse - Antwort

Good set of instructions. Few comments/tips:

(1) DO get the right screwdriver for the Pentalobe screws. The screws have thread-lock on them, and trying to use a knife point or other stop-gap will damage the heads, making them nigh-on impossible to remove.

(2) Use an ice-cube tray to put the screws and brackets in, in the order you remove them - makes reassembly easier

(3) It’s easy to lose the tiny screws. If you *slightly* magnetize your screwdriver, it’s a lot, lot easier to remove and refit without dropping the screws. (To magnetize: take a strong magnet and stroke it once along the screwdriver.) iPhones are not harmed by magnets.

(4) If you do lose a screw, sweeping a strong magnet back and forth over your trousers (before you stand up!), then chair seat, then floor will usually recover it.

(5) As per comments above, easiest way to refit the connectors is by feel. Use the force, Luke!

äh wie bitte? hier fehlt die hälfte?? wo ist das verpflanzen der backing plate. kamera und lautsprecher??? dachte ifixit wäre gut, da ist ja die china anleitung kompletter!

Hi Luke, du hast wahrscheinlich ein etwas anders Ersatzteil gekauft (ohne Komponenten vorinstalliert). Dies hier ist die Anleitung für das Screen Assembly (ale Komponenten bereits am Screen dran).

Für dein Ersatzteil haben wir diese Anleitung: iPhone 6 LCD mit Touchscreen tauschen

Very useful. Best forum to repair iPhones……. Thumbs Up… JazakAllah…

What do you do if your screen is responsive, hence the need to replace the screen . I can’t shut down my phone since it doesn’t respond. I don’t want to damage anything else if there’s still power to the phone. Do I just wait for the battery to drain before attempting this replacement?

Nina Waldon - Antwort

Hi Nina,

Yes, you can wait for the battery to drain first. Doing so will also make the iPhone safer to open.

Arthur Shi -

Great instructions very detailed yet short and simple to the point!

James Ryan - Antwort

Did it all correctly but phone still won’t access the display . I think I might have not gotten the ribbon cable completely seated, but I’ll have to take it apart again to be sure. It took me over four and a half hours to do this job. I don’t have a good working bench so that hindered me greatly. But I liked the guide for the most part. However, I would be happier if there were some guidance in the reassembly. Can’t have everything. I’ll keep working on it in between coronavirus scares in my family.

I replaced my screen with the iFixit Kit and transferred the home button successfully. After reassembling the iPhone the wifi signal is weak. When lifting the screen from the housing the signal becomes strong, putting back the screen onto the housing it is weak again. Any ideas? Some shortage?

Axel - Antwort

Hi Axel,

It may be that an antenna cable may be shorting. Check if this isolation foam is still on the top of the antenna cable.

Arthur Shi -

Great guide. Just finished repairing my wife’s iPhone 6. She is happy ==> I am happy.

The step that took the most time was the attachment of the digitizer cable connector. Finally I felt a small click on one end, and then the other. Whew! Thanks for the clear instructions!

Do iPhones come with a thin line of black glue around the edges, or is this possibly a refurbished phone? I thought it was new from bestbuy. screen was glued down when I took it off.

CMR - Antwort

That glue in the later phones is for water proofing…the fact that the glue is there means that the phone is new and was never opened.

Hi, I did an iphone 6 lcd replacement. I conncected all the connectors properly and phone did owrk. So I switched off and started tightening the bolts. Then when I switched it on, it didn’t start up. But the camera area gets really hot. What should I do?

Mohamed Aasif - Antwort

What is with the front camera and the speaker?

Peter Uwe - Antwort

Once I had installed my replacement, complete LCD + touch, screen and turned “on”, it stayed black. Near the selfie camera+ear speaker it warmed up as felt by the finger tips. But nothing else happened. So I installed my old screen with its “spider app” again. That worked as before. So the replacement went back as faulty and a new one came in.

When replacement 2 was installed and turned “on”, it stayed black. — Unmounted and carefully installed again: stayed black again. Hm, really another faulty replacement ?? Installed my old screen with spider app back again. Stayed black on turning “on” ! Did I break something ? Lets try loading the battery (it was almost full before though). Apple sign appears now on “on”, phone works again. So replacement 2 was installed again. This time the apple sign appeared after turning “on”. It works !

For me, the price differential to the screen without home button did not make it worthwhile to have the extra hassle.

Bernard Delley - Antwort

At low brightness iPhone 6 works fine

if brightness increased white lines appear at top portion of phone

does this means screen has to replaced ?

ashok kalburgi - Antwort

Re-assembling the screen - Step 9 (reverse): I am stuck at re-assembling the screen onto the phone (step 9 - reassembling). The screen keeps sticking out at the bottom of the phone (home button side). Cannot put the final 2 screws as the screen is not properly in place… (too high) :-(

Didier Guillevic - Antwort

@Didier Guillevic you might have the screws in the wrong configuration. I use electrical tape to put them in the order they came out itn. also there is a small connector at the top of the batter that may have moved or came undone. good luck!

I replaced the screen pretty easily. The screen and front facing camera work, but when I make a phone call, the screen blinks and mostly stays off. I cant seem to turn it on to hang up the call or anything. It seems like the proximity sensor is the issue, but I do not know how to troubleshoot this.

I did this but now my phone overheats a lot and won't turn on

Elias Samuel - Antwort

The guide is quite good but incomplete. After step 26 it is necessary to unscrew and take off the front camera shield, then the ear speaker, the front camera and the screen back shield (as the touch ID button connects there)
