iPhone 6s Plus Screen Replacement

To swap out the iPhone 6s Plus'Carefully detach the display panel, ensuring you observe the specified 1.5mm clearance to avoid damaging the flexible cable, and then secure it with the provided adhesive strips, referencing the included diagram for correct orientation.The included component features a pre-installed front-facing camera, sensor assembly, and EMI shield, streamlining the repair process.

  • Detach the existingCarefully detach the display panel, ensuring you use the specialized prying tool to avoid damaging the surrounding components, and note that the screen measures 6.5 inches diagonally; proceed with caution as the display is fragile.Carefully move the home button assembly to the replacement device.Carefully detach the display panel, ensuring you utilize the specialized prying tool to avoid scratching the surface or damaging the surrounding frame, and note that the assembly is secured with adhesive and five 3.5mm screws located at the corners and center; replacement requires a compatible unit with identical dimensions.Ensure proper operation of the Touch ID sensor.
  • This procedure also details how to substitute the display cable bracket.

Step 1 | Pentalobe Screws

Step 1 image
  • To prevent potential hazards and damage, ensure the battery's charge level is reduced to less than 25% prior to beginning the disassembly process.Ensure the lithium-ion battery is fully charged.Accidental puncture presents a risk of fire and/or explosion.
  • To prevent electrical shock or damage to components, ensure the iPhone is completely de-energized prior to starting the repair process.
  • Using a Pentalobe screwdriver, detach the two screws, each measuring 3.4 mm, located on both sides of the Lightning connector.

Step 2 | Taping Over The Display

  • To avoid injury and contain shattered fragments while you work, secure the cracked display glass with tape.
  • Completely cover the iPhone's screen with layers of overlapping clear packing tape to secure any loose glass fragments and reinforce the display's structure during the separation process.
  • To safeguard your eyes from potential glass fragments released during the repair process, always use safety glasses.
  • Should suction cup adhesion prove problematic due to shattered glass during subsequent procedures, a robust tape—like duct tape—can be fashioned into a lifting handle as an alternative.

Step 3 | Anti-Clamp instructions

To simplify the opening process, the following two steps utilize the Anti-Clamp tool, a custom-designed aid; if you do not have this tool, proceed to the instructions three steps further down.

Refer to the accompanying guide for detailed procedures regarding Anti-Clamp operation.

  • To release the Anti-Clamp's arms, move the blue handle in a rearward direction.
  • Position the arms so they extend across the left or right side of the iPhone.
  • Affix a suction cup to the iPhone's front surface, close to the lower edge and directly over the home button, and place a second suction cup on the rear, in a similar location.
  • Apply vacuum by pressing the cups firmly against the surface needing treatment.
  • To improve the Anti-Clamp's grip on your iPhone if the exterior feels excessively slick, apply adhesive tape to the device's surface.

Step 4

  • To secure the arms, advance the blue handle in the direction indicated.
  • Rotate the handle a full 360 degrees, observing for the point at which the cups begin to expand. Maintain parallel alignment of the suction cups throughout this rotation; should misalignment occur, gently release the suction cups’ grip and reposition the arms to restore proper alignment.
  • Once sufficient separation is achieved by the Anti-Clamp tool, slide a prying tool beneath the display panel.
  • To ensure adequate separation, incrementally adjust the handle by 90 degrees, pausing for several seconds after each adjustment; avoid movements exceeding a 90-degree rotation to prevent damage and allow the Anti-Clamp to function effectively.

Step 5 | Opening Procedure

Step 5 image
  • Lacking an Anti-Clamp tool, proceed with the subsequent three steps to employ a suction handle.
  • Using a heat gun or hairdryer set to a low setting, gently warm the bottom edge of the iPhone’s housing.Use a specialized device designed for electronics disassembly, known as an iOpener.Apply heat with a hair dryer, maintaining its proximity to the area for roughly 60 seconds.
  • Applying heat will loosen the adhesive that holds the display in place, facilitating separation.

Step 6

Step 6 image
Using a 5/32-inch hex key, carefully tighten the four mounting screws securing the fan assembly to the motor housing, ensuring each is snug but not over-tightened to prevent damage; observe a torque of 6 in-lbs per screw.Removing the 6s Plus display releases a perimeter adhesive strip; replacement adhesive strips should be prepared beforehand if desired. Successful repair is achievable without adhesive replacement, and operational performance will remain unaffected.
  • Using a suction cup, secure its surface to the display assembly's lower left corner.
  • To facilitate suction cup attachment when the display has severe cracking, apply a sheet of clear packing tape across the damaged area; as an alternative, a robust adhesive tape can be used directly. Should neither of these methods prove successful, secure the suction cup to the fractured screen using superglue.
