    • Exercise caution near the delicate grounding clips during frame cleaning, as displacement can occur; if a clip bends, restore its shape carefully with finger manipulation or tweezers.
    • Employ tweezers or fingertips to detach sizable adhesive segments from the frame's edges.
    • Employ a spudger to eliminate any remaining adhesive residue adhering to the frame's surface.
    • Should the adhesive prove difficult to remove, utilize a hair dryer or heat gun to apply warmth, then attempt removal once more.

    Step 78

    Step 78 image
    • To dissolve the remaining adhesive, carefully dispense a small quantity of isopropyl alcohol with a concentration exceeding 90%.
    • Employing a microfiber cloth or a similar lint-free material, meticulously clean the frame's edges by wiping in a single direction to remove the residue.
    • Performing this process deliberately is crucial, as a thoroughly cleaned frame facilitates the even application of replacement adhesive, which is essential for a stronger bond.

    Step 79 | Clean the screen

    Step 79 image

    To facilitate proper adhesion when reinstalling a display, use a microfiber or lint-free cloth lightly moistened with a small quantity of isopropyl alcohol possessing a concentration exceeding 90 percent, and clean the edges of the screen.The purpose of this cleaning step is to remove any residue that might interfere with the new adhesive's bonding ability.Employing isopropyl alcohol with a purity level greater than 90% ensures effective surface preparation without leaving behind damaging residues.

    Step 80 | Orient the replacement adhesive

    Step 80 image

    • To ascertain the correct positioning of the adhesive layer, place it upon the frame's surface, ensuring that no protective liners are removed during this assessment.
    • Employ existing frame characteristics, including the camera aperture and indentations on the superior and inferior borders, to mentally simulate the adhesive's final placement.

    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 liner and remove it, exposing approximately one-third of the adhesive surface.
    • Due to its high tack, the revealed adhesive readily bonds to surfaces; therefore, prevent any unintended contact until it is properly positioned on the frame.
    • Should your adhesive contain several liners, remove only the uppermost liner to expose the side intended for bonding to the frame.

    Step 82

    Step 82 image

    • Carefully remove the adhesive backing while applying gentle pressure to ensure proper adhesion.
    • Accurate alignment of the adhesive is indicated by a seamless fit of the edges within the frame.
    • To correct minor misalignments, delicately reposition the longer sides of the adhesive relative to the frame.
    • Should the adhesive develop creases or wrinkles, discard it and apply a new strip for optimal results.
    • In the absence of replacement adhesive strips, the iPhone can be reassembled and used temporarily without the adhesive, though this will reduce its water resistance until a replacement is installed.

    Step 84

    Step 84 image

    Employ a spudger to apply pressure to the adhesive securing the iPhone's frame, ensuring complete coverage along its edges.Exercise caution to avoid damaging the delicate grounding clips during this process.Should a grounding clip become displaced, carefully reposition it to its original form using your fingers or a pair of tweezers.
    The adhesive's integrity around the entire iPhone circumference requires careful manipulation with the spudger.
