  • Apply pressure with a fingertip or the broad, planar edge of a spudger to secure the two screen connectors to the logic board's corresponding receptacles.Avoid applying excessive force when engaging the connectors; a gentle, controlled pressure is optimal.Should resistance be encountered during connector alignment, slightly adjust the connector's position and reattempt the connection.
  • Persistent difficulty indicates a misalignment requiring repositioning rather than forceful insertion.

Step 79 | Connect the battery

Employing either a fingertip or the planar edge of a spudger tool, ensure the battery connector's secure attachment to the logic board through firm pressure.To establish a reliable electrical connection, apply pressure to the battery connector using your finger or the broad, flat surface of a spudger.A secure connection between the battery connector and the logic board is achieved by applying pressure, which can be done with a finger or the flat end of a spudger.

Step 80 | Test your repair

Step 80 image
  • Prior to final enclosure, it's advisable to verify the functionality of your iPhone repair; initiate the device and confirm expected operation.
  • Following the verification process, de-energize the iPhone and proceed with the remaining reassembly steps.
  • Should the iPhone fail to power on, establish a connection to an external power source and attempt to initiate the device again.

Step 81 | Install the battery connector cover

  • Slide the upper border of the battery connector cover beneath the designated lip feature.Confirm that both retaining tabs are securely positioned beneath the lip's edge.Position the cover precisely using the screw aperture as a guide, then set it down.
    Ensuring proper alignment is critical for correct placement of the component.
    The cover’s placement should be verified before proceeding with subsequent steps.

Step 82

  • Carefully slide the left side of the screen connector cover beneath the designated lip on the device's frame.Position the cover precisely, utilizing the screw hole as a reference point for accurate alignment.Ensure the cover rests correctly within its intended recess, preparing it for secure attachment.
    The cover should be placed in its final position, ready for fastening with screws.

Step 84

Step 84 image

Employ a JIS 00 screwdriver for the installation process.The screw, measuring 1.2 millimeters in length, is required for this step.The purpose of this fastener is to maintain the screen connector cover's position.Securely fasten the component utilizing the specified screwdriver type.Properly installing the screw ensures the screen connector cover remains attached.

Step 85 | Remove the final adhesive liners

  1. Maintain the screen's stability by grasping it securely with one hand.
    • Employ either your fingertips or a spudger to carefully separate the surrounding liners, revealing the underlying adhesive.Prevent any contact with the newly exposed adhesive to avoid contamination.
    • Thoroughly inspect the internal components to identify and eliminate any detached liners, ensuring complete removal.
    • Confirm the complete absence of liners within the device's interior.

Step 86 | Install the screen

Position the display assembly onto the chassis, initiating the alignment from the uppermost boundary.

  • Should you encounter opposition during placement, a component identified as a perimeter clip might be deformed and experiencing compression from the chassis.Carefully examine the location of the obstruction and delicately realign any clips exhibiting deformation.Verify that the display's edges are not exerting pressure on any connecting wires or cables.
  • Apply even pressure across the iPhone's borders to ensure the display sits uniformly against the chassis.
  • Confirm the display is completely level with the frame after applying pressure.

Step 87

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

Step 88 | Apply heat to the perimeter

Step 88 image

Apply warmth around the display's edges utilizing a hair dryer or heat gun.Ensure the temperature reaches a point just beyond comfortable touch, indicating sufficient heat.This thermal application serves to reduce the viscosity of the adhesive securing the screen.The increased temperature facilitates a more effective adhesion during reattachment.Heating the screen perimeter with either device is crucial for successful repair.

  • The adhesive's softening action eases separation and promotes a stronger bond afterward.

Step 89 | Install the pentalobe screws

Step 89 image

Employ a P2 pentalobe screwdriver for the installation process.Two screws, each measuring 7.5 millimeters in length, are affixed.These screws are positioned on both lateral aspects of the charging port.The P2 pentalobe screwdriver is essential for manipulating these fasteners.Securely fasten the screws using the specified screwdriver to maintain port integrity.
