iPhone 7 Lightning Connector Assembly Replacement

Was du brauchst

  1. iPhone 7 Lightning Connector Assembly Replacement, Pentalobe Screws: Schritt 1, Bild 1 von 1
    • Before you begin, discharge your iPhone battery below 25%. A charged lithium-ion battery can catch fire and/or explode if accidentally punctured.

    • Power off your iPhone before beginning disassembly.

    • Remove the two 3.4 mm pentalobe screws on the bottom edge of the iPhone.

    • Opening the iPhone's display will compromise its waterproof seals. Have replacement seals ready before you proceed past this step, or take care to avoid liquid exposure if you reassemble your iPhone without replacing the seals.

  2. iPhone 7 Lightning Connector Assembly Replacement, iPhone 7 Opening Procedure: Schritt 2, Bild 1 von 1
    • Heating the lower edge of the iPhone will help soften the adhesive securing the display, making it easier to open.

    • Use a hairdryer or prepare an iOpener and apply it to the lower edge of the iPhone for about a minute in order to soften up the adhesive underneath.

  3. iPhone 7 Lightning Connector Assembly Replacement: Schritt 3, Bild 1 von 2 iPhone 7 Lightning Connector Assembly Replacement: Schritt 3, Bild 2 von 2
    • Attach a suction cup to the lower half of the display assembly, just above the home button.

    • Be sure the suction cup does not overlap with the home button, as this will prevent a seal from forming between the suction cup and front glass.

    • If your display is badly cracked, covering it with a layer of clear packing tape may allow the suction cup to adhere. Alternatively, very strong tape may be used instead of the suction cup. If all else fails, you can superglue the suction cup to the broken screen.

  4. iPhone 7 Lightning Connector Assembly Replacement: Schritt 4, Bild 1 von 3 iPhone 7 Lightning Connector Assembly Replacement: Schritt 4, Bild 2 von 3 iPhone 7 Lightning Connector Assembly Replacement: Schritt 4, Bild 3 von 3
    • Pull up on the suction cup to create a small gap between the display assembly and the rear case.

    • Insert the flat end of a spudger into the gap.

    • The watertight adhesive holding the display in place is very strong, and creating this initial gap takes a significant amount of force. If you're having a hard time opening a gap, rock the screen up and down to weaken the adhesive until you can fit a spudger inside.

  5. iPhone 7 Lightning Connector Assembly Replacement: Schritt 5, Bild 1 von 3 iPhone 7 Lightning Connector Assembly Replacement: Schritt 5, Bild 2 von 3 iPhone 7 Lightning Connector Assembly Replacement: Schritt 5, Bild 3 von 3
    • Slide the spudger to the left along the lower edge of the iPhone.

    • Twist the spudger to widen the gap between the display and rear case.

  6. iPhone 7 Lightning Connector Assembly Replacement: Schritt 6, Bild 1 von 3 iPhone 7 Lightning Connector Assembly Replacement: Schritt 6, Bild 2 von 3 iPhone 7 Lightning Connector Assembly Replacement: Schritt 6, Bild 3 von 3
    • Slide the spudger up the left side of the iPhone, starting at the lower edge and moving towards the volume control buttons and silent switch.

    • Do not pry along the top edge of the phone, you risk damaging the plastic clips securing the display.

  7. iPhone 7 Lightning Connector Assembly Replacement: Schritt 7, Bild 1 von 3 iPhone 7 Lightning Connector Assembly Replacement: Schritt 7, Bild 2 von 3 iPhone 7 Lightning Connector Assembly Replacement: Schritt 7, Bild 3 von 3
    • Insert the flat edge of a spudger into the bottom right corner of the device.

    • Twist the spudger to widen the gap between the display assembly and the rear case.

    • Slide the flat end of the spudger up the right side of the phone to break up the adhesive holding the display in place.

    • Do not insert the spudger further than the adhesive to avoid damaging delicate ribbon cables along the right edge.

  8. iPhone 7 Lightning Connector Assembly Replacement: Schritt 8, Bild 1 von 2 iPhone 7 Lightning Connector Assembly Replacement: Schritt 8, Bild 2 von 2
    • Pull up on the suction cup to lift up the display and open the iPhone.

    • Do not raise the display more than 10º as there are ribbon cables along the right edge of the device connecting the display to the logic board.

  9. iPhone 7 Lightning Connector Assembly Replacement: Schritt 9, Bild 1 von 1
    • Pull up on the small nub on the suction cup to remove it from the front panel.

  10. iPhone 7 Lightning Connector Assembly Replacement: Schritt 10, Bild 1 von 2 iPhone 7 Lightning Connector Assembly Replacement: Schritt 10, Bild 2 von 2
    • Slide an opening pick along the top edge of the iPhone, between the rear case and front panel, to break up the remaining adhesive holding the screen in place.

    • Be careful not to damage the plastic clips on the top edge of the phone.

  11. iPhone 7 Lightning Connector Assembly Replacement: Schritt 11, Bild 1 von 3 iPhone 7 Lightning Connector Assembly Replacement: Schritt 11, Bild 2 von 3 iPhone 7 Lightning Connector Assembly Replacement: Schritt 11, Bild 3 von 3
    • Pull the display assembly slightly away from the top edge of the phone to disengage the clips holding it to the rear case.

    • Open the iPhone by swinging the display up from the left side, like the back cover of a book.

    • Don't try to fully separate the display yet, as several fragile ribbon cables still connect it to the iPhone's logic board.

    • Make sure the battery is disconnected before you disconnect or reconnect the cables in this step.

    • Use a spudger or a fingernail to disconnect the two lower display connectors by prying them straight up from their sockets on the logic board.

    • To reconnect these cables, press down on one end until it clicks into place, then repeat on the opposite end. Do not press down on the middle. If the connector is even slightly misaligned, the connector can bend, causing permanent damage.

    • If you have a blank screen, white lines on the display, or partial or complete lack of touch response after reassembling your phone, try disconnecting and carefully reconnecting both of these cables and make sure they are fully seated.

    • Use a plastic tool to scour any bits of adhesive residue from the rear case.

    • Make sure the Lightning connector assembly is correctly positioned so that the two white dots on the iPhone's rear case show through the two circular cutouts in the Lightning flex cable. If they don't, the flex cable will remain misaligned and you won't be able to reconnect it to its socket on the logic board.

    • A rubber gasket on the bottom of the Lightning connector protects your iPhone from liquid and dust intrusion. If you are installing a new Lightning connector assembly, you may need to carefully remove and transfer the gasket to the new part.

    • The small adhesive patch on the bottom of each microphone also protects your iPhone from liquid and dust intrusion. For best results, replace the two adhesive patches before installing your Lightning connector assembly.

Abschluss

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order. Don't forget to reapply the display adhesive before reinstalling the display.

The old ones were so easy! Why did Apple have to put the thing under the board!!!???

Christopher Crawford - Antwort

Prob to discourage people from replacing it themselves instead of sending to apple

Elwen Omara -

I dunno. It was a pain, but surprisingly I got mine fixed. When I took it to the apple store they flat out told me that they wouldn’t fix it at all. I couldn’t even send it in to them. Something about no communication with the logic board and they refused to touch it. Thankfully the guides are detailed enough for goofs like me to be successful.

Ray Bieze -

Ho un problema dopo aver installato il nuovo connettore. Quando l’iphone e scarico, inserendo il cavo, appare sul display il simbolo batteria. Una volta acceso il cavo non viene più segnalato e la ricarica non continua. Cosa può essere?

Fabio - Antwort

Salve ho lo stesso problema,qual è il problema?
