  • Prior to removing any protective films, position the adhesive layer onto the frame to establish the correct alignment.
    Employ elements like the camera aperture and indentations situated on the superior and inferior borders to assess the adhesive's placement within the frame.

Step 81 | Apply the replacement adhesive

Step 81 image
  • To reveal a portion of the adhesive, carefully lift the corner tab of the adhesive sheet's backing and remove a third of the liner.
  • Exercise caution, as the newly exposed adhesive possesses a high degree of tackiness; prevent unintended contact with surfaces until application to the frame is prepared.
  • In instances where the adhesive incorporates several liners, remove only the topmost liner to expose the surface intended for bonding to the frame.

Step 82

  • Because the adhesive bonds immediately upon contact, adjustments are impossible; any misplacement necessitates complete removal and replacement with fresh adhesive material.
  • Precisely match the visible perimeter of the adhesive strip to the matching boundary on the iPhone's structural frame, exercising caution during placement.
  • After achieving proper alignment, apply a light, even pressure to secure the exposed adhesive strip to the device's frame.

  • Carefully remove the adhesive backing, ensuring firm contact between the adhesive and the surface.
  • Proper alignment of the adhesive is indicated by a seamless fit of the edges within the frame's boundaries.
  • To correct minor misalignments, delicately reposition the longer sides of the adhesive relative to the frame.
  • Should creases or wrinkles appear in the adhesive, discard it and apply a new set for optimal results.
  • In the absence of replacement adhesive strips, the iPhone can be reassembled and used, understanding that its water resistance will be diminished until the adhesive is properly replaced.

Step 84

  • Employ a spudger to apply pressure to the adhesive sealant encompassing the complete edge of the iPhone's housing.Exercise caution to avoid damaging the delicate grounding clips during this process; should one become displaced, carefully reposition it using your fingers or tweezers.Excessive force should be avoided to prevent distortion or over-extension of the adhesive layer.
  • The adhesive's integrity is maintained by applying measured pressure with the spudger around the iPhone's circumference.
  • Grounding clip misalignment can occur, necessitating a gentle realignment with fingertip or tweezer manipulation.

Step 85

Detach the extensive front adhesive liner by grasping the designated pull tab, typically situated within a corner of the liner's structure.

  • Remaining liners will persist along the device's edges at this stage of the process.
  • Defer removal of these protective liners, as their presence inhibits premature adhesive bonding during iPhone reassembly.

Step 86 | Connect the screen

Step 86 image

Position the iPhone display adjacent to the frame, ensuring sufficient cable slack to connect to the logic board.

Step 87

Employing either a fingertip or the planar edge of a spudger tool, establish a secure physical connection between the two screen connectors and the logic board.Avoid applying excessive pressure when aligning the connectors with their corresponding sockets.Should initial attempts at connection prove unsuccessful, slightly adjust the connector's position and reattempt the process.

  • The connectors must be properly aligned to ensure a reliable electrical pathway.
  • Forcing the connectors can result in damage to the delicate pins on either the connector or the logic board.

Step 88 | Connect the battery

Employ either a fingertip or the planar edge of a spudger tool to establish a secure physical connection between the battery connector and the logic board.Ensure the battery connector is firmly seated against the logic board by applying pressure with a finger or a spudger's flat end.To join the battery connector with the logic board, apply pressure using a finger or the broad, flat surface of a spudger.

Step 89 | Test your repair

Step 89 image
  • Prior to finalizing the enclosure, it's advisable to verify the functionality of the repair by activating the iPhone and confirming its expected operation.
  • Following the verification process, deactivate the device and proceed with the remaining assembly steps.
  • Should the iPhone fail to energize, establish a connection to a power supply and attempt to initiate it once more.

Step 90 | Install the battery connector cover

  • Carefully slide the upper border of the battery connector cover beneath the designated edge.
  • Verify that each of the two tabs is securely positioned beneath the lip.
  • Position the cover precisely using the screw aperture as a guide, then set it down.

Step 91

Step 91 image
  • Employ a JIS 00 screwdriver for the installation of the screw.The screw utilized for securing the battery connector cover measures 1.2 mm in length.To fasten the battery connector cover, a JIS 00 screwdriver is required.A 1.2 mm screw provides the necessary fastening for the battery connector cover.Installation of the battery connector cover necessitates the use of a JIS 00 screwdriver and a 1.2 mm screw.

Step 92 | Install the screen connector cover

  1. Carefully slide the left side of the screen connector cover beneath the designated notch.
    Position the cover precisely using the screw aperture as a guide, then set it down into its intended location.

Step 93

  1. Maintain the display panel's stability by securing it with one hand.
    Employing either your fingertips or a spudger, carefully separate the perimeter liners to reveal the underlying adhesive.
    Prevent any contact with the newly exposed adhesive to avoid contamination.
    Thoroughly inspect the internal components, eliminating any remaining liners to guarantee their complete absence.

Step 95 | Install the screen

  1. Position the display assembly onto the chassis, initiating the alignment process from the uppermost border.
    Should you encounter opposition during placement, a surrounding retaining clip might be deformed and undergoing compression by the chassis; carefully examine the area of obstruction and delicately restore any bent clips to their original shape.
    Verify that the display's perimeter isn't compressing any flexible circuits.
    Apply even pressure across the iPhone's borders to ensure the display rests uniformly against the chassis.

Apply consistent, substantial pressure encompassing the complete circumference of the iPhone's housing.

Step 97 | Apply heat to the perimeter

Step 97 image

Apply warmth around the display's edges utilizing a hair dryer or heat gun, ensuring the surface reaches a temperature just beyond comfortable touch to loosen the adhesive.This thermal application facilitates adhesive softening and promotes a more secure reattachment of the screen.

Step 98 | Install the pentalobe screws

Step 98 image
  • Employ a P2 pentalobe screwdriver for the installation process.Secure the two screws, each measuring 7.5 mm in length.Position these fasteners on both lateral aspects of the charging port.Properly aligning the screws is essential for a secure connection.
