Follow these instructions to disassemble all parts from the back cover of your device.Apple iPhone XTo enable replacement of a damaged cover—whether cracked, dented, or bent—this procedure details the steps for detaching the speaker, associated cables, the taptic engine, the battery, the logic board, and the button covers.
Due to the complexity involved, this particular procedure represents the highest level of difficulty for repairs on this device.Apple iPhone XAvoid any procedures requiring microscopic soldering techniques.
To start, ensure the iPhone's battery is depleted to less than 25% capacity; a fully charged lithium-ion battery presents a fire and/or explosion hazard if damaged.
To prevent electrical shock or damage, ensure the iPhone is completely de-energized prior to starting the repair process.
Using a Phillips head screwdriver, detach the two screws.Screws with a 6.9 mm length and a pentalobe head are required.Along the lower perimeter of the iPhone.
Removing the display assembly will damage the iPhone's water resistance; ensure you have replacement seals available for installation before continuing, or exercise extreme caution to prevent liquid ingress if reinstalling the display without new seals.
To avoid potential damage to your device, ensure the opening pick does not extend beyond a safe depth; use this procedure to identify the maximum allowable insertion point on the pick.
Determine the dimension using an appropriate measuring tool.Three millimeters.Using a permanent marker, clearly indicate the opening point on the pick.
Alternatively, use markings to indicate various lengths on the remaining corners of the pick.
To achieve a similar effect, affix a coin to the pick's tip, positioning it precisely 3 millimeters from the end.
Carefully organize all screws during disassembly, noting their original locations, as incorrect reassembly can cause iPhone damage.
Before permanently securing the display, it's recommended to activate your iPhone and verify all features are operating correctly; afterward, fully deactivate the device to proceed with the remaining assembly steps.
To avoid unintended power-up during the repair process, carefully angle the connector outward, distancing it from the socket and the logic board.
The adhesive securing the front panel sensor assembly's flex cable is applied with minimal force.
Gently raise the cable, ensuring the adhesive bond releases.
To prevent damage to the recently detached flex cable, carefully separate the speaker and, if needed, support the cable to allow for speaker removal.
Before securing the speaker, verify the flex cable's placement to prevent it from being pinched or compressed during reassembly.
Gently dislodge the speaker from the iPhone's bottom edge by grasping it along its sides and applying a slight, alternating back-and-forth motion to break the adhesive bond.
Carefully detach the speaker component.
When reassembling, a new gasket must be used for the speaker, as the original is designed for single use only.
Four stretch-release adhesive strips hold the iPhone X battery in place; one secures the top cell, while three secure the bottom. Each adhesive strip features a black pull-tab lightly attached to the battery's side edge.
Gently separate the adhesive securing the battery by extending each tab, which will cause the underlying stretch-release adhesive to lose its grip and detach as a cohesive piece, facilitating battery removal.
Should the adhesive strips fracture, proceed calmly, as this is not an uncommon occurrence. Continue with the following instructions to properly remove the damaged strips.
Employing these practices will significantly improve the likelihood of a favorable outcome.
Avoid applying pressure to the battery; instead, maintain a secure grip on the iPhone's lateral edges.
Maintain a smooth, wrinkle-free condition of the strips while applying tension.
Apply gentle, gradual force, allowing approximately 15 to 30 seconds for each strip to extend and detach.
To prevent the strip from catching on the battery's lower edge, exert a pulling force at a shallow angle.
Should a strip fracture and become inaccessible beneath the battery, proceed to the remaining strips and then follow the subsequent instructions.
Use gentle pressure to position the camera cables, as they are secured to the midframe with a mild adhesive.
Carefully insert the spudger tip, beginning at the connector, and gently slide it between the infrared camera cable and the device casing to release the cable.
Perform the same procedure on the front camera cable.
Use heat to soften the adhesive securing the front camera assembly.
Carefully detach the front-facing camera module.
Carefully detach theConnect the WiFi antenna, ensuring it is securely fastened to the designated connector and aligned per the manufacturer's specifications, using a torque of 8 in-lbs with a 5mm wrench, and observing the ESD warning to prevent damage.Attach the cable to the connector.
Before proceeding, ensure the SIM card tray is extracted, as its presence will prevent logic board removal. If this step was not completed previously, perform it now.
Using a Phillips screwdriver, detach the two screws that secure the component in place.
Use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten a screw with a 2.7 mm head.
Secure the component with a Phillips screwdriver, using a 2.1 mm head.
Carefully detach the component, ensuring all associated fasteners are released and no damage occurs during the process.Use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten the screw, which has a 2.0 mm head..
Carefully detach the grounding tab.
Ensure the metal grounding tab is reinstalled with the identical positioning it held previously.
To allow logic board removal, ensure the ejection pin, which extends from the frame when the SIM card is removed and engages the SIM card carrier's lever, is manually retracted and fully seated within the frame.
To detach the logic board assembly, raise it vertically, ensuring evenness, as it's affixed to the upper board via two stand-offs that pass through the lower board.
Carefully maneuver the small metal grounding bracket aside using tweezers, avoiding upward force because it's affixed to a delicate flex cable.
Carefully lift the dock connector, maintaining its orientation.
Carefully detach the dock connector.
Carefully detach the WiFi antenna, ensuring no damage occurs to the connector or surrounding components.
To prevent electric shock or potential injury, always disconnect the power supply and allow the device to cool completely before proceeding with any maintenance or repair procedures.To avoid potential difficulties and damage, review the video detailed in the introduction prior to disassembly; the button removal process is complex and can be challenging, therefore, closely observe and replicate iPhoneRepairGirl's techniques.
To prevent the button from protruding during clip and retainer removal, apply outward pressure with a finger against its exterior surface, pushing it inward within the frame.
Rotate theSecure the component with the spring clip.Rotate the component until it achieves a 90-degree angle.
