  1. iPhone 7 Screen 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.

    • If your display glass is cracked, keep further breakage contained and prevent bodily harm during your repair by taping over the glass.

    • Lay overlapping strips of clear packing tape over the iPhone's display until the whole face is covered.

    • This will keep glass shards contained and provide structural integrity when prying and lifting the display.

    • Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes from any glass shaken free during the repair.

    • If the broken glass makes it difficult to get a suction cup to stick in the next few steps, try folding a strong piece of tape (such as duct tape) into a handle and lifting the display with that instead.

  3. iPhone 7 Screen Replacement, iPhone 7 Opening Procedure: Schritt 3, 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.

  4. iPhone 7 Screen Replacement: Schritt 4, Bild 1 von 2 iPhone 7 Screen Replacement: Schritt 4, 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.

    • 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.

  6. iPhone 7 Screen Replacement: Schritt 6, Bild 1 von 3 iPhone 7 Screen Replacement: Schritt 6, Bild 2 von 3 iPhone 7 Screen Replacement: Schritt 6, 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.

  7. iPhone 7 Screen Replacement: Schritt 7, Bild 1 von 3 iPhone 7 Screen Replacement: Schritt 7, Bild 2 von 3 iPhone 7 Screen Replacement: Schritt 7, 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.

  8. iPhone 7 Screen Replacement: Schritt 8, Bild 1 von 3 iPhone 7 Screen Replacement: Schritt 8, Bild 2 von 3 iPhone 7 Screen Replacement: Schritt 8, 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.

  9. iPhone 7 Screen Replacement: Schritt 9, Bild 1 von 2 iPhone 7 Screen Replacement: Schritt 9, 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.

  10. iPhone 7 Screen Replacement: Schritt 10, Bild 1 von 1
    • Pull up on the small nub on the suction cup to remove it from the front panel.

  11. iPhone 7 Screen Replacement: Schritt 11, Bild 1 von 2 iPhone 7 Screen Replacement: Schritt 11, 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.

  12. iPhone 7 Screen Replacement: Schritt 12, Bild 1 von 3 iPhone 7 Screen Replacement: Schritt 12, Bild 2 von 3 iPhone 7 Screen Replacement: Schritt 12, 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.

    • Remove the lower connector bracket.

  15. iPhone 7 Screen Replacement: Schritt 15, Bild 1 von 3 iPhone 7 Screen Replacement: Schritt 15, Bild 2 von 3 iPhone 7 Screen Replacement: Schritt 15, Bild 3 von 3
    • Use the point of a spudger to lift the battery connector out of its socket on the logic board.

    • Bend the connector cable up slightly to prevent it from making contact with the socket and providing power to the phone.

    • 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.

    • Remove the two 1.3 mm Phillips #000 screws securing the bracket over the front panel sensor assembly connector.

    • Some phones could be Y000. Apple started using Y000 for these at some point in the middle of the product's lifecycle.

  18. iPhone 7 Screen Replacement: Schritt 18, Bild 1 von 2 iPhone 7 Screen Replacement: Schritt 18, Bild 2 von 2
    • Disconnect the front panel sensor assembly connector from its socket on the logic board.

    • This press connector should also be reconnected one end at a time to minimize the risk of bending.

  19. iPhone 7 Screen Replacement: Schritt 19, Bild 1 von 1
  20. iPhone 7 Screen Replacement, Home/Touch ID Sensor: Schritt 20, Bild 1 von 1
    • Remove the four Y000 screws securing the bracket over the home/Touch ID sensor:

    • One 1.1 mm screw

    • Three 1.3 mm screws

    • During reassembly, be careful not to overtighten these screws, or your home button may not work.

  21. iPhone 7 Screen Replacement: Schritt 21, Bild 1 von 1
    • Remove the bracket that secures the home/Touch ID sensor.

  22. iPhone 7 Screen Replacement: Schritt 22, Bild 1 von 3 iPhone 7 Screen Replacement: Schritt 22, Bild 2 von 3 iPhone 7 Screen Replacement: Schritt 22, Bild 3 von 3
  23. iPhone 7 Screen Replacement: Schritt 23, Bild 1 von 2 iPhone 7 Screen Replacement: Schritt 23, Bild 2 von 2
    • Carefully pry up the underlying connector and move it out of the way of the home/Touch ID cable.

    • It's very easy to damage your iPhone during this step. Work slowly and take care where you pry with your tool. If you damage the Touch ID hardware, it can only be replaced by Apple.

    • If the connector doesn't pry up easily, use a hair dryer or iOpener to heat and soften the adhesive securing the connector, and then try again.

    • Don't try to detach the connector completely—simply flip it up slightly so that the underlying home/Touch ID sensor cable can be removed.

  24. iPhone 7 Screen Replacement: Schritt 24, Bild 1 von 1
    • Heating the area around the home/Touch ID sensor will help soften the adhesive holding its delicate cable in place, making it easier to remove safely.

    • Flip the display assembly over. Use a hairdryer or prepare an iOpener and apply it to the lower edge of the display for about 90 seconds in order to soften up the adhesive underneath.

  25. iPhone 7 Screen Replacement: Schritt 25, Bild 1 von 3 iPhone 7 Screen Replacement: Schritt 25, Bild 2 von 3 iPhone 7 Screen Replacement: Schritt 25, Bild 3 von 3
    • Use an opening pick to gently separate the adhesive holding the home/Touch ID sensor cable to the back side of the display panel.

  26. iPhone 7 Screen Replacement: Schritt 26, Bild 1 von 1
    • Remove the home/Touch ID sensor assembly by lifting it through the front side of the display.

    • To reinstall, first feed the cable through the hole in the front of the display.

    • Your replacement part may come with an extra Y000 screw already installed right of the Home Button. Remove the unnecessary screw so that you can reinstall the home button bracket.

    • Follow this guide to install replacement display adhesive on your screen.

Abschluss

To reassemble your device, reapply the display adhesive and follow these instructions in reverse order.

When putting the screen back on will the device loose it's water-resistant properties?

Joseph - Antwort

Wondering this too.

Draydan -

It will for sure lose it's water-resistant properties. So, please replace the water-resistant adhesive before assembly.

Jojo -

Yes, but you can buy a new replacement seal for a few bucks. However, it is extremely thin and very sticky so its almost impossible to do it right the first time (imagine placing a needle thin sized rubber band covered in glue around the tiny ledge you phone screen sits on). I would suggest you buy two because it is likely you’ll need a second shot at it…because if any part gets misplaced and sticks to the wrong spot, it will not come off, and that “sticky rubber band” turns into this horrible stringy tar/chewing gum ring that is impossible to manipulate…fair warning… it will most likely be pretty water resistant even if you don’t add a new seal to it… its not a waterproof phone in the first place :)

Yes it will lose the water-resistant abilities. It is very hard to seal it back to it's original state.
