iPhone 11 Pro Max Screen Glass Replacement

This document details the procedure for restoring the screen glass on an iPhone 11 Pro Max.

  • The essential actions required for this repair process are outlined below.
  • Initially, the surrounding frame must be detached.
  • Subsequently, the damaged glass panel needs to be carefully released from the display.
  • Following separation, all adhesive residue must be completely eliminated.
  • The liquid crystal display (LCD) assembly then requires lamination to a new glass component.
  • Finally, the frame is reattached to secure the repaired display.

Step 1 | Screen Heating

Begin by warming the display panel using a heating apparatus, ensuring the platform's temperature reaches precisely 90 degrees Celsius.
  • Introduce specialized adhesive solvent XII into the separation zone located between the display frame and the OLED panel.
  • Employ a plastic separation tool to carefully remove the solidified adhesive from the area beneath the flex cable within the display frame.
  • Residual adhesive located at the base of the display frame's flex cable connection point must be eliminated using a thin, non-marring plastic blade.

Step 2 | Bezel Removing Part 1

Proceed to step 2.
  • Employ cut pliers to sever the bracket surrounding the impact component.
  • Disassembly of the bezel should now commence, with these two critical considerations.
    • Exercise controlled force during bracket removal; a downward pressure is preferable to a forceful pull.
    • Should bracket removal prove difficult, utilize XII glue remover on a plastic shim, inserting it into the seam to dissolve the adhesive; however, restrict the amount of remover used near the flex cable and integrated circuit.

Step 3 | Bezel Removing Part 2

Proceed to step three.
  • Initially, detach one bezel side, pausing at the location of the flex cable connection.
  • Subsequently, release the second bezel side, again halting at the flex cable's position; meticulous care is essential when separating the bezel at this juncture.
  • Pay close attention to these two critical considerations.
    • Firstly, introduce a plastic separation tool on the screen's right edge, targeting the area surrounding the display integrated circuit (IC) to gently remove the underlying adhesive.
    • Secondly, as the plastic tool reaches the far end of the touch IC flex cable, employ a pliable plastic wedge and utilize a rocking motion to disengage the adhesive.

Step 4 | Bezel Removing Part 3

During separation of the bezel, apply even, opposing force with both hands to dislodge the adhesive bond.
  • Carefully elevate the bezel by securing a firm grip and a slight upward motion, subsequently easing it downwards.
  • Employ a specialized adhesive remover to eliminate any remaining glue residue.

Step 5 | Glass Separating

Proceed to step five, which involves introducing the steel cutting wire alongside the flex cables.
  • Apply consistent tension to the steel wire to facilitate separation; should resistance be met on one side, reposition the wire towards alternative locations, such as the right or central area of the display.
  • Any remaining adhesive encountered during the wire's extraction should be carefully removed to ensure unimpeded progress.
  • The steel wire's movement requires uniform force to prevent damage to surrounding components.

Step 6 | Glue Removing

  1. Apply a coating of 8333 glue remover to the OCA adhesive and allow it to sit for a duration of 30 seconds.Subsequently, detach the adhesive layer using a single hand, exercising caution to prevent damage to the OLED display through excessive force.Following the removal process, utilize white oil to cleanse the display surface.
    During the cleaning procedure, exercise heightened care to protect the touch panel's delicate golden circuitry located at the screen's periphery, employing a gentle sliding motion with a dust-free cloth.
    The application of excessive force risks severing the touch cable, rendering the touch functionality inoperable.
    When cleaning the flex cable region, proceed with a light touch and minimize the quantity of white oil used.
    To safeguard the integrity of the display, ensure a delicate approach is maintained throughout the flex cable cleaning process.

Step 7 | LCD Laminating Part 1

  1. Prior to commencing the repair, ensure the iPhone 11 Pro Max’s dedicated positioning fixture is ready for use.
    Carefully position the LCD screen within the fixture, ensuring its flatness to avoid displacement, and meticulously remove any particulate contamination from the display surface, with particular regard to the flex cable arrangement.
    After proper alignment, remove the optical adhesive (OCA) protective layer utilizing a specialized pull tape.

Step 8 | LCD Laminating Part 2

  1. Ensure the glass panel is precisely positioned over the LCD surface, securing it in its designated location.
    Maintain pressure on the glass's central area using one hand while carefully aligning it with the LCD's surface.
    Initially adhere the LCD to the specialized black magic mat, then introduce the assembly into the CEO-2+ OCA lamination machine to execute the laminating and bubble-extraction processes.

Step 9 | LCD Laminating Part 3

  • Ensure the flexible cable extends beyond the LCD assembly before positioning the LCD onto the work surface.
  • Configure the machine's timer and initiate the process by activating the "START" button.The device's operational sequence includes a 20-second vacuum phase, a 15-second lamination stage, and a 180-second bubble removal period.Verify the functionality of the display and touchscreen responsiveness after the repair.
  • Confirm proper operation of both the visual display and the touch input capabilities.

Step 10 | Bezel Attaching

  • Introduce a replacement bezel into the designated pressure molding apparatus.
  • Following bracket installation, dispense a uniform bead of bezel adhesive around the bracket's perimeter.
  • Position the affixed LCD onto the bracket, ensuring alignment with the flex cable connector.
  • Exert firm, even pressure across the display surface to guarantee full LCD seating within the frame's confines.
  • Enclose the pressure molding apparatus and allow it to remain undisturbed for a duration of 30 minutes.

Step 11 | Test the Display Again
