iPhone 6 LCD mit Touchscreen tauschen

Was du brauchst

  1. iPhone 6 LCD mit Touchscreen 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 LCD mit Touchscreen 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.

    • 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.

    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

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Upon reassembly I found the Red 2.2 mm screw won't seat. Is it possible it sheared off? The Orange 3.2 is solid in both holes but 2.2 doesn't securely fit in either.. Should I just leave off the 2.2?

    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.

    jonbessom - Antwort

    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. I understand it is risky because if you slip or need to use any significant force to remove the battery, disaster awaits. 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.

    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.

    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.

    Chet Seidel - Antwort

    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.

    Ricardo Ramirez-Mendoza - Antwort

    The earpiece speaker itself has nothing to do with Touch ID; a correctly performed repair will leave Touch ID perfectly intact. Touch ID will only be disabled if you damage the home button hardware or the ribbon cable that connects it to the logic board. That cable runs from the home button, behind the display shield, and up to the top of the phone near the earpiece speaker. So yes, if you are unfortunate/careless enough to damage it in the process of replacing your earpiece speaker, that could disable Touch ID, although Touch ID is no different from any other component in that respect! ;)

    I completely ripped my home button ribbon, that being attached to the LCD shield/Front Panel (steps 36-38, step 38 to be more precise). I can confirm you CAN replace the shield\attached ribbon cable. This DOES NOT disable touch ID/you do not have to ask Apple to resync the button identifier.

    Just to be clear, this is assuming that you do not damage the actual home button assembly steps 29-35.

    (My replacement was from a supplier who reclaims parts from iPhones, so it would/should be an Apple original)

    Be sure that the replacement part has a little black squared sponge facing the camera. I have purchased some replacement displays in the past (assembled with front camera) and some of them didn't had that sponge. The result is a front camera not pushed onto the display glass and this will cause backlight leaks into the front camera.

    Take note of where the cable is placed. When I put everything back together my cable assembly was behind the others (as I reassembled this ‘area’ into my new screen before continuing to the home button). As the cable was behind, the four connectors being attached to the main board were not in the right sequence, so I had to manoeuvre them (a bit more fiddly than you would imagine).

    Like me, you may have accidentally touched the speaker, springs or 4 gold contacts on the cable. I used the tweezers to remove the speaker but it magnetically got stuck to the tweezers so I removed it with my fingers and accidentally touched the contacts. Use your own judgement, but I've had good results using a tiny amount of 70% isopropyl alcohol on a Q-tip and cleaning these 4 gold contacts and the springs on the speaker piece.

    Make sure the screen that protects the speaker is free of ear wax. It can be stopped up with ear wax and limit the output of the earpiece speaker. About 50% of the ones I have come across this was the cause of low earpiece volume. Use a small nylon hobby paint brush dipped in 91% rubbing alcohol to clean it.

    After assembly my speaker didn’t function. However upon checking the flex cable was not snuggly snapped in place. After twice reassembly got it working again. So maybe before cleaning the contacts, check the flex cable connection first.

    i have a question.

    my homebutton cable was broken. so i bought front plate.

    and i have original home button too.

    so, if i change broken plate and new plate, can i using touch id??

    kjh657 - Antwort

    You should actually be commenting in a home button step (such as 30), so you get the right visibility. But if by front plate you mean the display (digitizer, lcd, and front glass) then no, this will NOT fix touch id problems. If the problem is damage to the home button out it's attached cable you are out of luck, as those are unique to each iPhone. However if the ribbon cable (the one attached to the large shield) is damaged, then that is replaceable. A new lcd shield should come with the home button ribbon attached, or you can buy the ribbon separately and just replace that. The shield is much easier to replace and about the same cost.

    Charlie Yarbrough -

    When replacing, make sure the proximity sensor is replaced correctly and seated fully inside the plastic bracket. Not doing so can cause loss of functionality in the sensor preventing the lcd from turning off when it's supposed to during calls etc.

    Charlie Yarbrough - Antwort

    Could you explain this any further? I recently replaced this because of a bad microphone and now the proximity sensor isn't working. I transferred the plastic/rubber gasket/bracket thingy over. I've disassembled and reassembled the thing 3 times to make sure the sensor is properly seated, no luck. The ambient light sensor for auto brightness works just fine, which I think is actually the one with the plastic part, unless I'm missing something?

    Is it possible the new cable assembly just has a bad sensor?

    Bennet Pullen -

    I confirm what you say. Bought a phone with proximity sensor not working. Turns out it didn't have the plastic bracket where you put the sensor in.. :)

    Didier Daniel -

    I think I’m having the same problem. When I removed the ambient light sensor, the black brick that seems to be the proximity sensor pulled off the cable and I had to pry it off the face. I had a great deal of difficulty lining up the two parts even after getting both of the little liners in place. I’m not sure what I could do to improve the alignment. The speaker, mic and camera are all working fine.

    Tom Comeau -

    When reassembling, ensure that the plastic bracket for the proximity sensor is removed from your old cable assembly and that you put it with the new cable. I found that if you put the plastic bracket in the recess in the front panel first to ensure that you get it in correctly.

    Christopher - Antwort

    It is crucial that you make sure that the little black plastic bracket around the ambient light sensor is removed with it when lifting it out of the recess. It is very easy to not notice that it stayed in the recess and really difficult to make out any difference between the removed cable and the replacement cable. It took me a few tries to realize that the bracket was still in place and was why I couldn’t seat the replacement cable properly.

    dhcohen67 - Antwort

    BLACK plastic bracket???? As this is crucial, I have been trying to locate a black bracket for the last hour or so, magnifying these images, watching different youtube videos etc … is there definitely a black bracket? Or could you be referring to the CLEAR plastic bracket that can be (just about) seen next to the white recess of the Ambient Sensor, in the pictures of this step?

    I would also like contributors to comment on the WHITE recess of the Ambient sensor (a shown in the pictures of this step). I have a replacement screen that does not have a white recess, it is completely black (looks like it is ‘just a hole’ going through to the glass on the front). I can see no way of removing the white ‘cover’ from the original screen …does it matter?

    Chris K -

    There is a white rectangular parts (about 2mm*3mm) on the front sensor , so remove it with the tip of tweezers. If it cannot be removed, it can be easily removed by applying warm air from a hair dryer.

    Christian van der Leeden - Antwort

    I had the impression the double sided adhesive strip is thicker than normal under the microphone, and found it more difficult to lift than in other areas (other than the home button connector, which is adhered to a metal backing, making it extremely difficult). Fortunately, I did not rip the ribbon. Perhaps applying some heat would be advised.

    Before installing the new cable you might need to do the following. I just did this installation last night and I had to do these things. 1) There is a clear plastic piece that goes around the sensor. It might have stayed in the phone face or it might have come out. If it came out it needs to be installed around the sensor. 2) There definitely will be a little black plastic cover over the notification LED. That needs to be taken off the old cable and put on the new cable and in the right direction. 3) On my new cable there were 2 copper colored protectors that needed to be removed before installing the new cable. Remove those. 4) The cable to the front facing camera is too long. Notice where the excess cable was bunched up on the old cable. This was a difficult fix. The parts are so small. Assembling the area around the speaker is difficult. There are multiple places where the cables slip over little plastic bumps. Knowing about those little plastic points will help.

Pictures from the angle low and in close are so helpful finding where that little rubber thingy (Yes that’s a technical term) goes and which direction it should be in.

    Rongwey - Antwort

    Kyler sometimes that happens here too. Go back in carefully and double check the battery plug. Disconnect it and reconnect leaning down to look under the edge of the connector if necessary. Sometimes it helps. Other times just plugging the phone into the charge cord for a minute helps.

    Rongwey - Antwort

    Kyler, the proximity sensor detects objects close to an active phone, so the touch screen can be shut off when the phone is in close proximity to your face (so your caller doesn’t get a bunch of “beeps” from keys being pressed by your face).,,

    Next to the proximity sensor (below it, in the last picture) is a tiny, insignificant-looking piece of white tape. If I remember right, it’s only present on black screens. It’s important—transfer it. Without it, the ambient light sensor can’t work, and the phone can’t dim its screen automatically in dark rooms and brighten it in sunlight. It took me ages of doing this before I found a place where someone had pointed that out. I mean, it’s just a tiny white sticker. Seems to be true, though.

    In re: Kent’s #2 above, I was fortunate to find new proximity sensor and camera frames on my new screens, and inside each proximity sensor frame is a small black piece over the notification LED (where it will be under the proximity sensor). Is that it, Kent? I hope so.

    Peter Barnett - Antwort

    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.

    Peter Barnett - Antwort

    Thanks for everything.

    I just bout the Fix Kit from iFixit, I did every step 9-11 times, carefully. Everytime I try to turn on the phone when everything is assembled it won’t turn on. The screen remains black eventhough the phone is on and itunes can detect it. if I put the broken screen back I get the creen powered on.

    Is my recently aquired screen replacement broken? Thanks

    Will - Antwort

    Solved. The new screen was not working. I now hace some stains on the upper part of the screen.

    Will -

    I had set my phone up as an erased “new iPhone” prior to the repair. After completing this repair my Touch ID appeared to be working normally and I added 4 fingerprint profiles. After a few hours Touch ID failed and the fingerprint profiles disappeared. Attempting to add them again would not work. 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.

    Steve Mattson - Antwort

    When moving original home button to new screen, a tiny dab of adhesive from a Pritt Stick helped hold the cable onto the front panel. Great guide, all worked well, and touch ID working, thanks.

    Mike Cowley - Antwort

    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.

    kwschnautz - Antwort

    So my repair went off without a hitch, but my home button when I click it kinda has a hollow-like sound/feel to it, is it something I did wrong?

    Peter Keller - Antwort

    You didn’t show removing the top part, camera, etc.

    William Wong - Antwort

    I did not have a hair dryer on hand so I used the metal tweezers very carefully to lift the gasket and connector. Reinstalling it was tricky but I found sticking the connector back onto the two tiny pins made it a lot easier to guide the button into place.

    Nicholas Hooker - Antwort

    I replaced my battery and my screen on an Iphone 6 for under $100. My phone looks and works like new. Great online tutorial, just go slow and be careful. I dropped a screw in the carpet and thought I was screwed. By some miracle I spotted it, the size of a pin head. Use a magnetic try if possible and do the work over a tile floor. I’m 66 years old, you can do it!

    Thomas m Burke Jr - Antwort

    On the screen I purchased from iFixit, the the connector’s cable was .5mm too long so that it wouldn’t fit on the two tiny pins. But I have put it all back together and it works great.

    Greg Scott - Antwort

    My IFixIt kit worked well. Gifted to me by a friend along with the project tray. The tiny screws are hard to handle, but the guide got me through. The phone charged and turned on like the screen was never dead. Only thing is the home button doesn’t respond to fingerprints. No big deal for me. Thanks for the great products and instructions.

    Lo'real Barrow - Antwort

    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?

    mortenskogly - Antwort

    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.

    Janice Scott -

    I, too, am having enormous problems removing all these screws. The first 1.7 mm came out without trouble, but the 6, 1.6mm screws are terrible. I've made it down to the last one and I'm afraid that the screw head is becoming stripped. I'm working with about a half-dozen tiny-headed Philips head screw drivers and am no longer getting any "bite" to turn the screw.

    ellamama - Antwort

    You need to press pretty hard with the driver in order to get it to bite. If necessary, hold the flat of your spudger behind the screw so you can apply more pressure without bending or breaking anything. If you've completely stripped the screw, you might be able to get away with just snipping the metal tab off with a pair of wire cutters and letting the other five or six screws do the job alone. Otherwise, you'll probably need to replace the entire display assembly (one that comes with a new shield already installed).

    Jeff Suovanen - Antwort

    I’ve tried to take out the screws for around half an hour and failed, put everything back together and ordered a new set of tools. Started the whole process again today only to get stuck here again. I just can’t get them out.

    • Schiebe die Spitze eines Spudgers hinter das Abschirmblech, um vorsichtig das Home Button Kabel vom Display zu trennen.

    • Sei besonders vorsichtig beim Ablösen des Home Button Kabels, es ist sehr empfindlich. Wenn du nur ein wenig Widerstand verspürst, dann halte an und erwärme es wieder mit einem Haartrockner oder einem iOpener. Der Kleber wird dann wieder weich und du kannst fortfahren.

    • Entferne das LCD Abschirmblech.

    I have found that using a fresh razor blade is a little easier than the spudger alone. First lift up the small tab on the left of the connector. Then very carefully slide a corner of the razor blade under the left corner of the connector, making sure you are under the metal backing. Slightly lift up with the razor blade to make room for the spudger. Slowly lift the connector with the spudger and viola, it should come loose!

    Damon - Antwort

    Absolutely, I had to do this on my last iPhone 6 repair. I was worried that I'd ripped the ribbon cable slightly but I was fortunate and it hadn't torn.

    Kronkk37 -

    Golden advice ! From now on I'm doing it the same way. So much easier and safer ;) Thanks buddy !

    Didier Daniel -

    I spent 15 minutes trying to do this with just the spudger. I went and got a razor blade and had the cable off in 30 sec!!! this is definetly the easiest way to do it

    Aria Farahani -

    There is a metal part attached to the bottom of the ribbon. Be careful to pull that up and not attempt to separate the ribbon from the metal. I started doing this and it took a good deal of force and then finally got enough light to see that I could get under the metal. The metal comes up much easier.

    Thank you sooooooo mutch ! I was doing exactly the same thing !

    Heat up the area first and use a metal spludger to lift up under the metal plate, when heated, it lifts very easy.

    Glen - Antwort

    I've had one flex fail (even though not physically damaged), by lifting the heat shield up and removing the connector that way. The result is the phone does not register properly with button, and Touch ID doesn't work. I now use a fine point tweezer to get in under the metal plate on the rear of the connector with a bit of heat. This seems to be the least invasive way of doing it. You need to check Touch ID is registering after each screen change due to the possibility of Error 53.

    Matthew Kerr - Antwort

    In my opinion, using a razor blade is extremely risky. In fact, I won't even use a spudger, because I find this cable to be very fragile. Here's what I do: Firstly, heat an iOpener in the microwave for 30 seconds, remove it for 2 minutes, then return it to the microwave for a further 30 seconds so it's extra warm. Secondly, lay the iOpener flat directly on top of the connecter for 90 seconds to loosen the adhesive. Thirdly, move the iOpener out of the way, then with one hand, lift the metal plate from the top end (closest to the front facing camera) to a 45 degree angle, or just enough so with your other hand you can fit your thumb under the flex cable towards the bottom of the metal plate. Now you want to grip the flex cable with your thumb underneath and your index finger on top as close as possible to the connector itself, then slowly and carefully lift both the plate and flex cable simultaneously towards the bottom of the phone. I found this video to be helpful: http://youtu.be/mh-cbErzGNo

    Jayden Monkley - Antwort

    You can see a pull-tab on the left side from a chip (which is glued to the surface under it). This pull-tab is free to take - no glue under it. Just grab it and gently move to the right - to the chip. It's the easiest way to unglue this home button cable. No blade or other stuff needed!

    dv1977 - Antwort

    I agree with dv1977, the black pull-tab on the left side of the chip is a great starting point. Heat will also help, so use an iOpener or something similar to heat the glue.

    Tobias -

    Seconded! This should be the only way to do it. It's really difficult to get the spudger under the metal underside of the ribbon cable otherwise!

    Thomas Hallett -

    Yes I agree to you. This should be the original orientation and not use the spudger for that.

    Jupiter -

    Hi @dv1977, are you saying the black tab shown in the third picture of this step (almost directly where the point of spudger is), would have pulled the home button and connector ‘easily’ off? Wow, if that is the case, this step should be updated by iFixit. I completely ripped mine as I followed the ‘LCD Shield Replacement’ guide, which gave the impression it was a ‘simple’ matter of carefully (and persistently) using the point of a spudger. I have bought a new shield, in the hope the cable is ‘just wires’, and the intelligence (id) is within the actual button assembly.

    Chris K -

    UPDATE: My replacement shield/attached ribbon, works perfectly. No loss of touch ID.

    Chris K -

    I just did my first swap ever on a 6, and I had the phone powered back on and all components tested within about 3 minutes. I've changed hundreds of 4, 5, 5c, and 5s though, so I'm sure that experience helped. I didn't have to disconnect the battery at all, just very careful with how I removed everything. If you can afford it, GET THE FIX KIT. I've got a whole container of leftover tools from other screens and I didn't even touch them. I used the new fix kit and it helped so much. Transplanting the old home button was a breeze, nothing torn at all. RTFM like I did, and anyone should be able to swap any of these components without an issue.

    kylemmancuso - Antwort

    Removing this cable is rather tricky if you follow the instructions in the manual. I think i repaired about 20 iPhone 6's by now, all using a metal spudger or a boxcutter knife. How? Gently lift black ribbon as seen on the pictury, starting on the left side as seen on the picture. Once you see the small metal connector, which is attached with a mild adhesive, stop pulling. Gently wedge the metal spudger under the connector, starting at the bottom left. With a mild pressure the connector will simply "pop off". If it doenst work with the spudger, try using a boxcotter, just be careful you put it under the connector and not between the cable and the connector.

    Kenneth Hordijk - Antwort

    Doesn't replacing this effect Touch ID

    simon chieng - Antwort

    As long as it is done successfully, Touch ID will not be impacted.

    TheJB -

    Maintaining touch ID is the point of transferring the original home button and its cable to the new display. As long as the motherboard is paired with its original home button and cable, touch ID will be maintained. There’s an identifying chip on the back of the home button, and matching information on the motherboard somewhere (I don’t know where its encoded).

    This is called serialization. Apple seems to be doing it more and more—with the latest iOS and the newest phones (iPhone X series and above, I think), they’ve done it with batteries as well. An “Apple authorized” technician (i.e. employed by Apple, not by you) can “reset” a new battery so it matches your phone, but if anyone else changes the battery, battery health will not work, and you’ll get a warning that “Apple cannot verify that the installed battery is a genuine Apple part” or something like that.

    This is one of many reasons we need Right to Repair legislation. Please help!

    I failed the last part and i broked the cabel is there anything what i can do?

    samisaukkonen91 - Antwort

    If the cable is broken, you'll need to purchase a home button assembly and install it in your phone. You'll lose Touch ID functionality, but all other home button functions should act as normal.

    During this step, I did mistakenly disconnect the cable from the metal connector underneath. However, I was able to remove the metal connector using a spudger and transfer it to the new screen along with the home button cable assembly. Fortunately, touch ID still worked, in addition to all standard home button functions.

    --

    I do think it would be great if iFixIt could add a note about this metal connector during this step as it plays a very important role.

    TheJB - Antwort

    I did the same thing! How do you reconnect the metal plate???

    Ian Hodgson - Antwort

    Watch out for the metal under the connector! I speant 15 min trying to get the connector unstuck and I didn't even realize you were supposed to remove the metal as well and leave it attached. Ripped my cable because of this (luckily it was an already-broken practice phone). Very important!

    Landon McCoy - Antwort

    Don't try to use a spudger behind the metal plate. It is extremely difficult as you can't see if you really could reach the metal under the connector. I ripped the cable doing this way! You better try to reach under the metal from the bottom of connector (not from behind the metal plate!)

    Yang - Antwort

    SUPER HELPFUL! Very much appreciated. Thank you!

    JRKoop - Antwort

    It’s very important to note that you want to remove the small metal plate underneath the black cable. Use the tab on the black cable near the edge of the phone, gently pull it up until you see the metal plate, then pry underneath the metal plate, and it will just pop up if you put something very small behind it (I used a set of very pointy tweezers).

    Josh A - Antwort

    The littel tab of black to the left of the tiny brass connector is a pull tab to aid in removal. As above yo can lift that end (use a thin blade as necessary) and that will help pull the connector loose.

    Jamees Kirwin - Antwort

    Start pulling off the side tab with a razor blade thin spudger, such as an iSesamo. To peel the main connector I found the easiest way was to tilt the front panel forward and look inside from the other end, enough to discover that there a metal plate right beneath the connector. You want to place the iSesamo right beneath that metal plate and the whole thing comes off.

    Pau - Antwort

    I was able to remove the cable with heat and put it back on the new display. It did not stick so good, but the cable was connected with the one from the Home Button.

    However the TouchID didn’t work but the home buttone does. Is this cable responsible for both and if so is it possible that only the TouchID wires in it have some damage/issue? Thanks for the answers

Is there any more reason to disconnect the battery on the 6 than any previous iPhone? I've repaired countless 5,5c and 5S without disconnecting the battery. Never a problem.

DNATECH LONDON -

I had this issue once, with an apparently broken TouchID when the cable was perfectly preserved and everything.

I played around with some spare parts and it turned out that the culprit was that the display was not OEM- the TouchID has to pass info through the display to the motherboard and non-OEM displays disrupt this process.

The way to fix this is to purchase a new display again from a more reliable source that has a trustworthy OEM claim.

ok just swapped a lcd and home button flex cable that connects to the motherboard. Now the phone is not turning on at all... Plugged in does not show any charging and has no heat coming from the phone at all. Testing to see if lcd backlight is damaged does not show anything as the vibration button switched does nothing

Warm it up a bit with a heatgun, makes the bonding adhesive a bit softer and you can then lift it up safely with a spudger.

I can't workout if the LCD Screen is glued to the Digitizer, on the phone the LCD is working it's just the front panel... will they separate ?

Wayne Taylor - Antwort

LCD is fused to the digitizer. You need to scrape off and rebond the glass if you want to just replace the glass. You need a UV light and UV glue in order to fuse the new glass to the old digitizer. It's easier to just replace the whole thing but it's slightly more expensive to do so.

ryanatakahashi -

They are laminated together at the factory. But with some very expensive tools and the right equipment, it can be done. As you will see on this video, the edges of the glass & digitizer have to be heated and then separated with dental floss and then the adhesive has to be removed with a hot blade. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VRnOwyQ...

Followed this guide to replace the broken glass panel on my iPhone 6. I took my time and worked slowly as this was the first iPhone I've ever disassembled. After reading some of the comments, I did disconnect the battery between steps 9 & 10 before doing any of the following procedures. I had some tense moments removing the camera and the home button. They were glued down pretty well, but I eventually got them off. Assembling was pretty easy, but one thing to take notice of is the order of the ribbons attached to the screen. I had to take the camera out twice because the ribbons were not in the correct order to connect back to the power board. Also my home button cord got disconnected when I was putting the case back together. On power-up the button did not work. I had to go back in and remove the plate surrounding those cables and found it was disconnected. I put everything back together and it is working perfectly. No issues with the screen, the cameras, the home button, or the finger print reader. Success!

robstewart - Antwort

How did you replace the cables that were in the wrong order? Im having the same problem!

laurensmolic -

So did you use a different Home Button or a replacement? My understanding was that if a replacement is used, then the fingerprint reader will no longer work. The original home button is synced to that phone and no other fingerprint reader will work with it. Just interested. I'm getting ready to do this myself. Have a great day and thanks for posting.

Darrell Castleberry -

My first tip is if this is your first breakage, and your phone has never been opened, just take it to Apple, it's £79 in the UK, cheaper than buying the screen from most places, and you know it's legit. Onto my SUCCESS, it took a while after numerous minor errors putting it all back together, but after going over the images again, I succeeded. Don't get me wrong, this wasn't a walk in the park, but steady hands and perseverance and you'll get there. For a while I was getting two errors when trying to get it back up and running, and it was stuck in restore mode. I had both 9 and -18 error codes. However, after going back into the iPhone, and popping all the cables off at step 12-15 and then reseating them again. It finally got going again ready for me to test it all. The only other problem was the touch button, but after reseating it a couple of times, I realised I was screwing it up too tight and so finally got it to work. So relieved & happy, but my next iPhone I'm just going straight to Apple.

My first time ever taking apart any phone. Did the fix in about an hour. Be careful with the adhesive on the home button. Mine got a bit mangled and although the button still works like it should, gone is the 'click' sound that it used to have (which I'm actually happy about). Otherwise, great instructions!

david - Antwort

I removed my OEM screen then refitted it, and bam! - no more Touch ID :-( Also when the iPhone's screen's gone black (after timeout), it no longer wakes up with the home button!? I have to press the power button now to wake it up, then enter the passcode. Boring!

I then bought a new display online, did the same repair again and replace the screen (with my original home button/camera/mic/speaker etc) and it's still the same: I now have a nice new screen (no longer cracked), but no touch id and no wakeup with home button.

Interestingly, when I try to set up the touch id, it goes to the touch id setup screen, and then immediately gives this error message: "Unable to complete Touch ID setup. Please go back and try again."

Also, when I try updating to OS 9.2.1 (already downloaded), it 'verifies update', then gives this error message: "Unable to Install Update An error occurred installind IOS 9.2.1."

The options are 'Retry' (same result) or 'Remind Me Later'.

Now what!?

Did you ever remedy this? Had the EXACT same issue and stumped as to why it's occuring - very strange...

I changed my screen and now my earpeice does not work, cant here people talking, only can hear on speaker phone. Front camara works and so does the proxy sensor. I might have touched the flex cable connector for those components so i was thinking maybe oil from my finger might be the problem with not hearing people talking. What would be the best way to clean it and see if thats the problem. Or any other ideas would be great .

Question about the battery removal.

I followed the instructions,(which did not include removing the battery). Disassemble went great. Reassemble didn't work so good as my patience is fried and I want to take to a repair store to let them do it. They refused it saying b/c I did not remove the battery, I created an electrical arc and they wouldn't touch it. Before I do it myself, is this true? I see above people also did not remove the battery and it worked fine. Pros? Cons? Advice?

Brenda - Antwort

The list of needed tools and parts for this repair could be more clear. The repair kit should be listed at top (it's not listed at all). Also, the repair kit page lists the "iOpener" tool as required but that tool is not used for this repair.

I finished. The first time I assembled everything all was working perfectly except for the earpiece - I couldn't hear anything. I saw on another posted question that someone responded that the gold prongs on the the earpiece had to be aligned "just right", or it wouldn't work. Additionally, the metal cover shouldn't be screwed in too tightly. I realigned and was a little less restrictive with my screw tightening - and now I am up and running. I am so happy! I totally ruined my screen and really was shocked that it still worked. Thank you to everyone who takes the time to give advice and assitance!

Alison - Antwort

Yeah, did it and it works!!!! soooooooo happy!!!!!!!

Nina Potenza - Antwort

Touch ID stopped working after the replacement. What could be wrong?

lvb - Antwort

I dropped my phone several days ago and now the screen won't display anything. My wife has the same phone as I do. I swapped displays with hers and I still didn't get anything. Any idea what else I could check?

Cliff Roebuck - Antwort

Hey Cliff. Usually, (if you didn't break your screen) all that has happened is that one of your ribbon cable connections on the inside of the phone has come loose or partially unplugged. There are a lot of other things that could have happened but this is an easy DIY check before you take it to someone who will most assuredly ask for a substantial amout of your hard-earned cash. Now, you will have to order an iPhone repair kit unless you have Pentalobe screwdrivers. But this little tool kit can come in handy for more than just your phone. Here's a video that might help you out if you can tolerate his loud voice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ny8mHGHX... .

There are many kits out there but here's something on Amazon for you to gauge by. https://www.amazon.com/Warmstor-Complete...

Good luck to you and let me know if this works for you.

i have a question.

my homebutton cable was broken. so i bought front plate.

and i have original home button too.

so, if i change broken plate and new plate, can i using touch id??

kjh657 - Antwort

Yes. If you change the cable on the plate, your Touch ID will still work if it's the original button. It's only when you change the button itself that Touch ID functionality is lost.

Didier Daniel -

Hello all,

Just did this without breaking any cables, or so I thought...

Reassembled everything and phone turned on (success) but I have lost the touch ID capability, the home button still works so I can use the phone but is this a security measure from apple? I used the existing home button.

Thanks

Tom - Antwort

First time ever replacing a iPhone 6 lcd and screen, love the pics, you make it very easy to follow!! :-)

I'm doing a screen replacement with a new screen that doesn't already have the home button cable attached to the digitizer. How do I get the cable from the old screen to the new one so I can connect the home button?

juliamcrae - Antwort

Exactly what was expected for an experienced tech.

Excellent guide!!

Thanks Monte

Montgomery James Kern - Antwort

Completed the guide but my screen is not flush with the body any more. But it was no problem putting it in. TouchID etc. are working fine, it is more in the middle part where the screen has a noticable height (bump). I have the impression it is higher than the original part (the eustore.ifixit.com front cover). But happy that the display works!

Christian van der Leeden - Antwort

If the display doesn't properly clip in, be sure all the cables are properly arranged, and make sure your battery hasn't swollen up. If you have issues, don't hesitate to contact EU customer support!

Sam Goldheart -

Is it necessary to buy all parts listed at the top right? I thought only a screen would be needed of that is what has been damaged.

William Mullan - Antwort

The parts listed at the top are the parts that can be replaced using this guide. If you're just replacing the screen, you only need to buy the screen =)

Sam Goldheart -

On the *very last step* of disassembly the home button cable would *not* come up. It finally tore. Post mortem analysis showed that it took a *lot* of pressure to remove it -- I don't know how one would get this off without tearing. I am going to go cry now. Bye.

Wayne Cochran - Antwort

For the home button, it helps to lift a corner of the gasket from it's adhesive to the phone, then work it up from there. So sorry it tore :(

bwojciehowski -

Hi guys, did this today, all works well except:

- i have some irregular white vertical lines. They come and go

- sometimes I have green dots on the left of the screen. They also come and go (but come more seldom)

- the display looks odd. Just as if the resolution was not the correct one

I tried re-opening and checking the display data connector, it looks like it's in place.

Any idea? All went well except: during re-assembly, the display data and the front camera ribbons got mixed up so for a couple of minutes I was trying to insert the front camera ribbon into the display connector ... Hope I didn't damage it :(

Any help is welcome.

Guillaume Klein - Antwort

When re-assembling I accidently switched the front facing connector and the digitizer, which broke the digitizer socket on the main board. Now the phone is bricked. Please notice that you need to guide the digitizer cable under the other cables after mounting the back plate, otherwise it is easy to switch the two long connectors, and then you breake the socket and your phone is dead.

Tom - Antwort

Hello, my Iphone 6's screen was broken. I bought a new one.

I read these differents steps but at the end my new screen doesn't work.

I used a torch and i could see the apple, the message very slightly I thought i have a problem with my backlight but i don't know what i can do!!!

I bought another screen but i had the same problem!

Please help me!! thanks

KLEBER - Antwort

Good guide for pretty much every step except for removing the home button ribbon cable during the LCD shield plate (step 37) look at dv1997's comment! This is a much easier and safer way of doing things! There is a metal plate which is part of the underside of the ribbon cable which is very difficult to get the spudger under by going under the shield plate. It's much easier to get it from the front using the ribbon cable pull tab on the side.

Thomas Hallett - Antwort

A cutter / utility blade can do wonders too :)

Didier Daniel -

Just successfully finished replacing a screen using this guide, for my very first time. In total, it took me three hours, taking breaks in-between and reading through all comments that have been posted.

---

My best advice is to be patient and take your time with each step. The most tedious steps were #22-26 (front camera assembly), #31 (home button) and #37 (home button cable). Be patient and read all comments regarding these steps.

---

During step #37, I did mistakenly disconnect the cable from the metal connector underneath. However, I was able to remove the metal connector and transfer it to the new screen along with the home button cable assembly. Fortunately, touch ID still works, in addition to all standard home button functions. I do think it would be great if iFixIt could add a note about this metal connector during this step; it plays a very important role.

---

I used only tools from the iFixIt "Classic Pro Tech Toolkit", in addition to an iSesamo. I purchased the replacement screen from iFixIt.

TheJB - Antwort

Good guide! Everything worked perfectly fine and I had no problems along the way :)

Kamiel Cherlet - Antwort

Step 37 was the worst, as there is intact a small metal plate, that comes off with the adhesive, which cannot be seen on the instructions/pictures

but its all working, thanks a lot!

Rich - Antwort

Success! Great guides here on Ifixit! With lots of kids I have replaced about 5 screens on various devices. Finally getting the hang of it. I had an issue with the "order" of the ribbon cable when reassembling, but they were easy to "reorder" them without any further disassembly... Just do it carefully and they will be corrected!

Thanks!

Karl - Antwort

Front Facing and Rear Facing Camera aren't working.

Everything appears to be working well except when I pull up the camera, all I get is a back-lit black screen, for both the front facing and rear facing camera. Any ideas? I had a hard time getting the front facing camera onto the display properly, but I don't understand how that would effect the rear facing camera.

takjackson - Antwort

some of my google searches says something about a jumper might be missing off the logic board, but I can't tell from what I am looking at.

Image: https://imgur.com/a/hJgV1

Other comments suggest putting the original screen back on and testing it, unfortunately that is not an option as my LCD was busted.

takjackson -

I placed the screen flats above the shield, while they have to go under it.. this is the only way the screen stopped flashing.. what is the impact ?

Do you think about it? https://goo.gl/photo...aN8XCYD2D3kwZh7 Very strange.

WAPIK - Antwort

Broken link? Strange indeed.

Stephen Missah -

It is always necessary to disconnect the battery. If you don't disconnect the battery, you can blow a filter that is responsible for the back light on the screen.

brittany.nicole111 - Antwort

I have next the same problem. All sensor is clean, good position. I dont know what is problem.

WAPIK -

I have a broken screen. I have a non-working phone that is an exact replica.

1. Can I exchange the entire fronts, without removing the glass? Just swap the entire unit?

2. How does this effect Touch ID? In expect the old fingerprint ID's would die, but can I add them again so they work?

Thank you.

SlotcarBob - Antwort

If you want to retain touch-id functionality, you'll have to transfer the original Touch-ID hardware to your new display assembly.

Lance J -

I've successfully changed my screen but I still have those white horizontal lines as mentioned in step 17. I've tried reconnecting the display data cable but it didn't change anything :(

The lines are located right at the bottom of the screen.

Thanks for your help!

Adrien Simon - Antwort

Everything went smooth, but I have light leak on top, only when screen is attached to rest of phone. Problem doesn't exists when testing screen outside backcase, phone is not bended, original screen was fine. Any ideas?

maclaw - Antwort

CARE WITH ATTACHMENT FOR HOME BUTTON! My home button cable connector was fused to the gold connector bars beneath at step 30 (gold bars attached to the LCD shield plate) so my home button doesn't work now. I tried to separate gently with the spudger but it just damaged. If you are in this situation, I suggest removing all the 7 screws at step 35 and lifting the home button, home button cable connector and the LCD shield plate as one unit. This worked but I had already damaged the connector cable from its attachment.

IF YOU DAMAGE YOUR HOME BUTTON FUNCTION, in settings, general, accessibility, AssistiveTouch allows a moveable "home" button on the touch screen.

Hope that helps someone.

ebeck_ - Antwort

I just replaced a front assembly with the home button connector so stiffly attached that the tab to the left of it broke off while trying to lift it. This happened while resting the display on a very hot iOpener. Some phones simply have a much stronger adhesive. My only advice is to gently prod at the connector from the left with the sharp pointy end of a spudger until it eventually comes lose. In this situation, I was eventually able to lift the connector off undamaged, but I feel like it could've been easier the way you've mentioned, by keeping the two parts of the connector together!

drpotter -

If I remove the home button from the old front panel and just put it on the new front panel will it save the fingerprint function.

Antonio the Tinker - Antwort

In a word: yes.

Jeff Suovanen -

I've tried everything imaginable to get Touch ID to work. I've been informed by Apple that Touch ID needs to be reset by an Apple technician for the cost of a screen repair ($129) or "other damage" ($299). Can anyone confirm, or is there a magic potion for this?

jaskegreen - Antwort

If your Touch ID (home button) hardware is damaged, only Apple can replace it and restore fingerprint functions—the sensor is keyed to your phone at the factory, and no other sensor will work without help from Apple. This is by design, and prevents people from compromising the security of the system by simply replacing the sensor. So yes, if that's your situation, Apple is your only option. (You can replace a damaged home button, but it will only ever work as a home button—no Touch ID.)

Jeff Suovanen -

Great instructions. A bit worried at times, when putting the screen back together but all works great. Thanks

Ashley Green - Antwort

I have a question! before I decided to change my LCD screen myself, I took it to a place that told me they could fix my "no response touch screen" problem, they didn´t then offered to replace it for like a million dollars so I decided to do it myself since I have replaced the battery myself on an old iphone many years ago, the thing is when I opened it following all the instructions, I found that the EMI shield (front panel assembly cable bracket) with all the five screws, the one that covers the flex cables, all missing!! so I went ahead and changed it anyway and closed the iphone back up, still no response on the touch screen, the phone turned on and everything, is it possible that the reason my phone is not working is that is missing the EMI shield? on other forums I read that it should work anyway, help please

Dr. Drea - Antwort

I'm a noob but, wow! This is a good guide. However, i have a missing screw, idk what it is, went back and checked, had everything, but, oh well. Also left pink protector on back of lcd but everything fit, so, cool?

Aiden Jacob - Antwort

Beautiful step by step! Take your time though… it felt i was preforming surgery

mikeyb540 - Antwort

the whole repair was quite straightforward. these alternative instructions were helpful at points: http://www.instructables.com/id/iPhone-6... as was this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mh-cbErz...

before finishing the last step of pushing the screen back into the body of the phone, I turned it on and checked all of the functions - the camera, the light sensor and the touch pad. The touch pad wasn’t working, so I turned it off again, and re-seated the home button cable. when i started it up again, it worked properly. Thank you IFIXIT.COM! and many thanks to all of the other folks who commented here.

banderson - Antwort

so I’m about to purchase this iFixit replacement display to repair my wifes iPhone 6 that she’s just dropped and smashed the screen. Am I going to have problems with touch ID not working with the new display? The current home button is still working fine, but I’m concerned if when repairing the phone the new screen causes the touch ID to stop working. Any comments

Matt - Antwort

It works fine! :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ef7HnSjJ... - I’d advice following this too when putting the phone together because the above missed out a few steps

Stephen Missah -

NOTE/WARNING:

These instructions don’t mention the lens and proximity sensor holder/supports. Don’t forget to take them off your old front panel! I would recommend following this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ef7HnSjJ... when putting your device back together. Simply doing the above in reverse is not enough!!!

Stephen Missah - Antwort

When I turned the phone on afterwards, the touch screen didn’t work. The screen looks fine but I cant press the code.

I was struggling with step 15 when I reassemblied, since the connector cables needed to be folded to swich places before they left the front panel. I had then tried to connect the wrong bracket. I cleaned the connectors before trying to put them togheter again, but not really sure if I touched them again anyway.

The removal and reassembly of the home button went smoothly. The touch ID didn’t work since earlier, but the button itself work.

Anyone who knows what to do?

Lena Blosfeld - Antwort

The digitizer cable connector hadn’t clicked in deeply enough! When I released the two cables on top, it jumped up by itself. Some persistent but smooth pressing in small cirles, with the finger covering the whole connector at the same time, solved the problem. It works!!!

Lena Blosfeld -

Followed this and other guides to replace the screen and battery. Very nice. Thanks.

spike - Antwort

Again, an invaluable guide. I’ve used this several times, never for my own phone thankfully!

James - Antwort

I did the screen replacement. Everything went well. But when I click the screen into the frame a grey spot appears on the display. When I unlock the screen from the frame and test it again the spot is gone. Does anybody know why this is happening?

Luc - Antwort

Update: problem solved. I did also a battery change and the battery connection cable was pushing against the screen and gave a spot on the display. I reinstalled the battery cable and pushed it a bit lower and now the screen is fine!

Luc -

I followed the directions given exactly and now I just get an battery drained icon, and the phone wont charge. what did i do wrong and how do i fix this?

timothy thomason - Antwort

GREAT GUIDE. Got mine working the first try. The only suggestion I would make is have closer-up pictures of the cluster of ribbon cables at the top right….took me a while to figure out I could reorder them pretty easily. Before I figured that out I was CONFUSED.

Chris - Antwort

Hi Chris! Click on any guide photo to get a bigger version, click on the magnifying glass on the image and you’ll get a huge version of the photo! Hope this helps you with your next repair!

Sam Goldheart -

Read these instructions, work methodically and make sure you carefully watch where you put your screws (I Blu-Tacked them to my bench) and you will succeed in this repair. The only tense moment for me was removing the home button. I highly recommend heat from a hair drier to soften the adhesive. Also, getting the button back in the new print panel assembly correctly without creasing any of the membrane is difficult - if you grip th button with your thumb and forefinger through the home button opening it can help. But yeah - all functionality including Touch ID has been preserved for me.

James McIntosh - Antwort

Muy buena guía. He realizado paso a paso todas las indicaciones y , salvo un pequeño despiste con el orden de los cables flex de la pantalla, todo ha ido genial.

Funcionando pantalla nueva y touch id.

Very good guide. I have done all the instructions step by step and, except for a little cluelessness with the order of the flex cables of the screen, everything went great.Running new screen and touch id.

Antonio Ureba Anillo - Antwort

Hi, I was wondering what will happen if you don’t replace the LCD front shield plate? I missed that step but my phone seems to be working fine. Will something happen in the long run if I don’t go back and install the shield plate in my new screen?

Angelina - Antwort

Thank you for this incredible helpful guide. I had to replace a broken LCD/Digitizer and I was able to successfully do the repair straight forward. The most difficult part I guess was to put back the front camera / sensor / mic / speaker conglomerate ;). I recommend to use a magnifier to be able to put back all those little screws.

Daves - Antwort

I just replaced the broken screen with a pre-assembled screen and digitizer display and I put in a new battery as well. When I power up the phone the white apple logo appears perfectly for four seconds but then it disappears for eight seconds and then reappears for four seconds and so on, it would appear, for infinity. I tried the old battery and reconnected the cables but same problem. I have also connected the phone to an imac to charge. anybody seen this problem before ? I tried a hard reset as well holding power and touch pad at the same time but same result

Sean Wren - Antwort

i think your problem may be that you don’t have a secure connection with the battery because when you try to charge your phone without it connected it will do exactly what you said happened

Blake Miller -

Success!. No problems.

Erik Simonič - Antwort

You know these instructions are great. I have fixed a handful of phones myself. There is no shortcut to the time involved, but if you take your time and follow you can be successful!!!

Thanks a bunch you guys!!!

NFM Venom - Antwort

I replaced the display with the iFixit replacement part. The replacement procedure was a piece of cake. However, the quality of the display is sub-par compared to the original. First thing I recognize was that the you cannot look at the display from even a small angle. Secondly, it is not scratch resistent. And worst of all, it broke after 3 month. I had it in my pant’s pocket together with my keys. Somehow, the keys cracked the screen at the top at the mic slot rendered the phone unusable. That’s it. I am will bite the bullet and take the phone to Apple and have the display replaced with the original Apple part. Too bad Apple does not allow other companies to sell ORIGINAL parts.

Alexander Nowak - Antwort

thank you so much for the guide, have been tinkering with iphone 6s and 6, had to change the digitizer again and this time had to also do the whole steps until the end. i didn’t expect i had to also remove the shield plate. lucky its on this guide. thank you again. phone running beautifully now.

nads - Antwort

just had my iphone saying it is over heating after replacing the digitizer. not sure why. any recommendations?

nads -

anyone experiencing heating after whole digitizer replacement, check your front camera if it is working, if not might be like mine where it is not working and the cause to the overheating. might be the flex cable of it.

nads - Antwort

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?
