OnePlus 6T Screen Replacement
If your OnePlus 6T has scratches, cracks, or malfunctions, it may need replacement.
- Acquire tools from the provided links under "What you need" for a proper fix.
- This guide details repairs from physical damage to device unresponsiveness.
Step 1 | Back Cover
The phone should be powered down and positioned on a flat surface with the rear panel face up.
Step 2
Insert SIM card removal tool into small hole on upper-left side.
- Pop open SIM card tray.
- Carefully remove SIM card from tray.
Step 3
Use a hairdryer or an iOpener to loosen binding glue within the phone.
- If using a hairdryer, hold it at least 8 inches from the phone and apply heat for 2 minutes in a circular motion around the edges.
Step 4
Insert a Jimmy under one of the heated corners.
- Lift the phone slightly with the Jimmy in place.
- Slide a plastic card underneath the lip on the back cover, gliding it under the lifted casing.
- You may encounter some tension as the card removes adhesive; this is normal.
- Remove the back cover from the phone.
Use high concentration (greater than 90%) isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth to clean adhesives from both surfaces.
Step 5 | Speaker
Remove seven Phillips #00 screws measuring 3mm.
Step 6
Use a spudger to carefully lift and remove the speaker.
Step 7 | Battery and Screen Connectors
Avoid using metal tools when disconnecting the battery to prevent short-circuit damage.
- Remove all visible screws securing the housing above the battery.
- Insert a pick or spudger into the silver slot on the left and gently pry along the phone's edge until the housing is released.
Verify that all screws have been removed, including those hidden under stickers.
- Lift the battery connector from the phone with a spudger to disconnect the battery.
- Similarly, use a spudger to carefully lift the screen connector and release it.
Step 8
Apply alcohol to the sides of the broken screen using a swab or q-tip to soften the adhesive.
- Inspect the adhesive after applying alcohol; if it remains stubborn, proceed with additional steps.
- Use a hairdryer or iOpener to apply heat to the edges of the phone and further loosen the adhesive.
Step 9
Press a suction cup firmly against the display.
- Glide a spudger around the screen's outer edge to break all remaining adhesive glue.
Step 10
Old adhesive residue must be completely removed for new adhesives to bond properly.
- Remove the display from the phone.
- Thoroughly clean surfaces with gentle cleaning methods, removing all old adhesive.
Inadequate cleaning can cause damage or dust/dirt entry.
Carefully apply a thin layer of B7000 Adhesive around the edges where the old screen was located.
- Place the new OnePlus LCD and Touch Screen into position, making any necessary adjustments for a secure fit.
- Apply pressure along all edges to secure the screen in place.
