Option 1. Replacing the iPhone screen assembly

Starting with the iPhone 4 and ending with the current flagships iPhone XS and iPhone XR, the phone screen is a single modular part. It consists of a display, backlight and touch glass.

iPhone display replacement in Moscow. Independent or professional?

The main advantage of mobile Apple technology is a screen that allows the owner to enjoy excellent picture quality and ease of use. But it is this element of the device that is most at risk of damage. Even small defects reduce comfort; serious problems turn the iPhone into a useless item. Replacing the iPhone display yourself is a responsible and difficult task. Even advanced users cannot cope with this task. The optimal solution If this problem occurs, you will need to contact a service center, where experienced specialists will promptly and professionally replace the damaged display with a new one, which will give your iPhone a new life.

When do you need to replace your iPhone display?

Many owners of these stylish gadgets sooner or later experience damage to their screens. This is due to the active use of iPhones - at home, at work, outdoors, in the gym or in a nightclub. Frequent use and constant carrying creates a real risk of damage to fragile elements of this device. The screen glass, which can be replaced by experienced service center technicians within 30–40 minutes, or the display module may be damaged. This happens when the device is dropped, pressure is applied to it, or other mechanical impacts. Cracks in the glass not only create inconvenience for users, they are a kind of gateway for dust and moisture, which creates a risk of damage to the “filling” of the device. If the display module fails, its entire set must be replaced.

Replacing an iPhone display due to mechanical defects in the glass is a common service in service centers. But there are also more serious damage to this important unit. Professional diagnostics and repairs will be required if:

• the picture disappears, the display turns black or blue;
• the color scheme in the image is disturbed, green and red shades predominate;
• the picture splits into two;
• stripes appear;
• Dead pixels detected.

These defects do not allow you to use all the extensive capabilities of the iPhone and create significant inconvenience.

If the diagnostics revealed damage to more than just the glass, the complete iPhone display will be replaced. In the practice of service center specialists, there are cases when it is necessary to change the display module when there is intact glass. This happens if the liquid crystal panel fails.

Defects that appear in the screen are not always a reason to replace it. Irregularities may result from corrosion. If a smartphone is dropped into water or moisture gets on it, the device can fully retain its functions for some time. But gradually the process of rust formation takes over several metal elements, and glitches appear in the image. If the matrix is ​​damaged, then only a display replacement performed by an experienced technician at a service center can restore your iPhone to working order. Independent repair attempts, in most cases, will be doomed to failure.

Specifics of the iPhone screen device

The difficulty that makes replacing an iPhone display lies in its design. The screen glass in these mobile gadgets is sewn into the display module. To remove it you need complete disassembly apparatus and cutting it around the perimeter to detach it from the base. Subsequently, after replacing the display module, the same or a new screen glass will be installed with a special adhesive composition.

There are many tips on the World Wide Web on how to replace damaged screen glass or the entire display module assembly. But at the same time, you need to take into account that in order to independently restore your favorite iPhone, you need to purchase and install a complete set of the display module, regardless of which element has failed. Separately, only replacement of the screen glass is carried out if it fails without damaging the display module. It is better to entrust this work to a specialist, so as not to further harm your favorite gadget and not to doom yourself to additional expenses for repairs.

There are certain difficulties in the case when the iPhone display is replaced as a complete set. The “Home” button and a fingerprint identification detector are associated with it. Errors in actions when disconnecting or connecting them will disrupt the operation of the smartphone. And then even an experienced specialist will be unable to restore its normal performance.

Preparing to repair an iPhone yourself

Users who decide to repair their iPhone themselves need to prepare for the upcoming procedure. First of all, you need to buy a display module. Finding it yourself is quite difficult. A high-quality module is unlikely to be found at disassembly sites and repair shops. If you contact the service center, you will be offered the choice of installing the original display or its high-quality analogue on your damaged iPhone. You can choose what will be more affordable for you. You will be offered an original display that is new or removed from another iPhone that needs to be disassembled; the warranty on them is 1 year. As for high-quality copies of display modules, they differ from the originals in the quality of color rendering, backlighting and touch response. The warranty on analogues is 30 days.

Replacing an iPhone display is not an easy task. You need to prepare a place to work and tools for repairs. You will need a stable table with a flat top, or better yet, a magnetic table from which not a single bolt will fly off. If the surface is smooth, you should put a thick cloth to prevent the smartphone from slipping. For work you will need:

• special set of Pentalobe screwdrivers;
• suction cup for screen removal;
• plastic card or spatula, and other tools.

The workplace must be provided with high-quality lighting. In the procedure, you will have to perform precise small operations.

DIY iPhone display replacement

Before carrying out repairs, you should turn off your iPhone and then you can start working. The following operations are performed:

• the end screws located at the bottom are unscrewed;
• the suction cup is installed next to the “Home” button;
• The display module is raised with a little effort;
• a plastic card is inserted into the gap between the screen and the body;
• the display is raised using a card;
• the module rises smoothly to a vertical position;
• unscrew the screws that secure the protection of the display module cables and the top cable, which are attached to the board;
• The “Home” button, the top cable and the speaker installed on it are carefully detached.

After disconnecting the damaged screen, install new element. The steps are performed in reverse order.
Don't think that replacing an iPhone display is an easy task. Very often, inexperienced users make mistakes that create the need for complex, qualified repairs. Restoration will require considerable costs.

Basic mistakes when replacing the iPhone display yourself

First of all, you need to understand that in this repair you will have to work with miniature parts. Owners who do not have sharp eyesight, with tremors in their hands or tremor, should not get to work. There are other problems that often arise when replacing the screen yourself:

• connection failure Home buttons, leading to Touch ID failure;
• screwing a long screw into place of a short one, damage motherboard;
• damage to the cable with the proximity sensor and the front camera when it is removed;
• loss of small elements, fasteners, etc.

There are many other nuances that arise during the repair process. For example, it is difficult to dismantle a monolithic frame; the plastic ring that secures it is lost. front camera. It is possible that professional replacement An iPhone display from a specialized service will cost less than buying a module and repairing it yourself.

Service qualified iPhone display replacement

In every specialized workshop, this type of repair is one of the most popular services. The craftsmen have solid practical experience in carrying out such work. This is one of the guarantees High Quality carrying out repairs.

The advantages of a qualified installation are obvious:

• carrying out full diagnostics before repair;
• iPhone display replacement is carried out using reliable, proven components;
• all existing defects are eliminated;
• A guarantee is issued for the repairs performed.

The service centers are equipped with the latest high-precision equipment, which allows us to assess the condition of all components of the smartphone and determine the cause of violations. This information allows the specialist to choose the optimal recovery technology. Perhaps fixing a breakdown in original iPhones does not require installing a new panel; you only need to replace the damaged glass. This will cost less than a full replacement of the iPhone display.

Features of replacing the display in service workshops

Screen malfunctions may occur even if the panel is working properly. Professional diagnostics can identify such faults. The technicians will eliminate problems caused by corrosion of the metal elements of the device; in this case, replacing the iPhone display will not be necessary.

It also happens that after installing a new display, spots remain on the screen. This indicates that the board needs to be re-soldered. If the sensor does not respond to touch, you will have to replace the touchscreen controller. This complex repair on the board can only be performed at a service center, since it involves soldering the smallest parts.

It is almost impossible for the average person to evaluate the quality of spare parts for iPhone. It may turn out that the module purchased for installation is a fake. The difficult work of replacing the screen will be useless, the purchase costs will be in vain. Service centers purchase components for iPhones from reliable manufacturers. Licensed displays have decent quality and a long service life.

Experienced, qualified craftsmen know all the features of carrying out such repairs. This eliminates errors and accidental damage. For example, workshops have special preparations that allow you to safely separate glass from the liquid crystal board. This operation cannot be done at home. The work of a specialist prevents damage to buttons and sensors during disconnection and connection. Professional installation will not cause a decrease in the quality of the device.

If the iPhone glass is damaged by impact, mechanical impact, or falling into water, it may have other problems. But if everything is fine and only the glass is broken, we replace it, and if other problems appear, then the entire display module. Replacing an iPhone display at a service center involves carrying out a full diagnosis and eliminating all existing faults. This guarantees the high-quality operation of the device and the implementation of all options.

No one is immune from mistakes. But if they are allowed by the user who performs the repair himself, he will have to pay for the subsequent correction. The service provides a guarantee that allows you to eliminate defects free of charge.

iPhone display replacement

Most smartphone owners sooner or later face the problem of broken screens. Statistically, this is the most fragile part of the phone. Users of the Apple brand are no exception. Ordering and purchasing almost any components is not difficult. Often people try to replace a broken screen on their own, without particularly understanding all the intricacies and details of replacing the display. At best, this ends with a trip to the specialist, at worst, with the purchase of a new iPhone.

The main skill required is experience working with iPhone displays. But if you are reading this article, it is unlikely that you have one, which means attentiveness and perseverance remain. When disassembling and assembling Apple equipment, care is the most important thing. Don’t be lazy before disassembling, re-read the instructions twice, look at the disassembly points several times. And most importantly, strictly follow what is written.

Why is it important to follow the instructions? Our experience is based on many years of experience in iPhone service centers. Trying to replace the screen without instructions or an experienced technician will end badly. After such repairs, it is not always possible to restore the device.

Important! All actions occur at your own peril and risk. If you are not confident in your abilities, take the gadget to a specialist.

Materials and tools

All tools from the list can be easily obtained on the radio market or are included in the kit when ordering a replacement screen module. It is not recommended to disassemble the iPhone using improvised tools. These are high-tech devices and digging into them with a kitchen knife is at least ineffective. So, what do we need?

• thin tweezers. Ideally, plastic, so as not to damage the tracks on the motherboard, but if you act carefully, then a regular one will do;
• spatula This is a tool for prying and opening self-latching surfaces. May be shaped like a guitar pick or similar to a pencil with a plastic spatula at the end;
• Screwdriver Set. You will need a set of miniature screwdrivers. You can buy them at any radio market;
• scalpel. Can be replaced with a thin construction knife;
• a small piece of thin double-sided tape for assembling the purchased screen.

If your smartphone has protective glass, you will also need:

• a piece of cloth (preferably microfiber);
• needle;
• strong thread (dental thread works well).

Give yourself a special place for bolts. By unscrewing very small bolts from different parts smartphone. do not confuse them: this may have a disastrous effect on your screen replacement.

Important! By screwing the bolt into the wrong place, you risk turning the groove on the motherboard or the Touch ID button. This, in turn, can cause the contact track to break.

Removing protective glass

The protective glass is attached to the phone display thanks to a silicone base, which eliminates shifts and the appearance of air bubbles (in case correct installation). With a thickness of a quarter of a millimeter, the glass has great resistance to mechanical stress, and the oleophobic coating prevents the appearance of greasy marks (such as fingerprints).

Carefully pry up one of the edges of the glass with a needle, then try to quickly insert the corner of the napkin into the lifting area until the surfaces stick together again. Next, stretch the thread under the glass and lead it to the opposite corner, moving the napkin in a timely manner.

Important! The film is generally not difficult to remove, but it is inconvenient to do it alone. Call a friend. Together, you can easily and quickly remove the protective glass.

Module change

We will conditionally divide the replacement of the screen module into four parts. Disassembling the phone and removing the display, removing components from the faulty module, installing it in a working one and assembling an iPhone with a working screen. Before you begin, make sure that all the necessary items are within walking distance. Provide good lighting and get started.

Analysis

1. We wait about 10 seconds after turning off the phone and unscrew the two bolts on both sides of the charging connector.

1. Pry the lid off with a spatula until you hear a characteristic click. The lid has come out of the groove. The display module only needs to be lifted from the bottom. At the top, the iPhone should open up like a book.

The instructions are relevant for iPhones older than 2011 (5, 6, SE, S, X, all Plus modifications). Older models are disassembled from the lid and have a more complex dismantling process.

1. Having passed along three sides with a mediator, we gently open the smartphone.

If you have problems with this point, you are afraid to press too hard and break something, you can use a suction cup. Place it closer to the edge and pull it up, helping with a spatula (if the screen is damaged in this place, cover it with tape).

1. We unscrew the five bolts from the first protective cover and fold them separately.

1. Remove the released cover with tweezers. Remember, if the tweezers are metal, then we act doubly carefully.

1. Remove the second protective cover. It is also fastened with five bolts. It is recommended to fold them separately, together with the shield.

1. We find the small shield at the bottom of the phone and unscrew the two bolts from it. This is the power cover of a smartphone. We carefully bend the cable under the shield towards the battery with a plastic spatula.

1. There is another connection cable at the top of the iPhone. We carefully bend them with plastic and turn them off.

The screen module is disconnected from the main part of the smartphone. All that remains is to transfer the parts to the new one and put everything back together.

Important! Make containers for bolts and shields with signatures and lids. Signatures will make reassembly easier, and covers will prevent small parts from getting lost. After all, if they fall on the floor, they will be very difficult to detect.

Removing the Home Button, Camera and Speaker

New iPhone screens rarely come with a built-in camera, speaker and Home key. Therefore, we take everything we need from the broken screen module.

1. Release the Touch ID button. The protective cover is held on by three bolts.

1. Use tweezers to pry the cable and bend it away from the button, carefully disconnect the connector from the “Home” key.

ATTENTION. The wiring connecting the button and the module is very thin and fragile. Carry out this operation as carefully as possible. If damaged, the iPhone cannot be restored.

1. If everything works out, take out the key and fold it separately. Approximately 85% of breakdowns when changing the screen occur at this point in the instructions. So, be careful.

1. At the top of the display, remove the camera, speaker and proximity sensor. All this is located under a large composite train. Carefully bend it over and use tweezers to take out everything you need.

1. Next, we take out the ring for attaching the camera and the proximity sensor (two different rings). They are attached to the body with double-sided tape. You may need a scalpel (be sure not to damage the cable before using a sharp object).

1. The last step is to unscrew the bolts from the large shield covering the sensor body. We take out a long cable that runs across the entire area of ​​​​the screen.

Important! After breaking the screen, check if all front panel functions are working properly. When incorrect operation one of the components, you will need to buy and replace them during the repair process. If the screen is severely cracked, check if there are any small fragments left on the device cables. Even a microscopic piece of debris caught in the connector can greatly affect the operation of the device.

Assembly

The hardest part is over. Now collect it already new screen in the same sequence in which they were disassembled. This shouldn't cause much difficulty. The location of the connectors on the case will not allow you to miss too much.

1. We insert the rings for the camera and proximity sensor into place. To do this, cut off small pieces of double-sided tape and put them in place with tweezers.

1. We are assembling an iPhone with a new screen. Don't forget to check all cables, wires and connectors. Lastly we connect the power.
2. Functionality check. Turn on the device, inspect the screen, check the camera, Touch ID button and proximity sensor. If everything works fine, snap the display module into place and screw in the last two bolts.

Congratulations, you've just replaced the screen on your iPhone.

Possible mistakes

When installing a cable with a camera on a new screen, a shield is often placed under it. This may cause a black spot to appear on the sensor.
When dismantling cables, people pay little attention to cleaning connectors and connectors. Many problems can arise as a result of microparticles getting onto contacts.

Results

Repairing high-tech devices, although exciting, is a rather difficult task with a certain risk for the device.

Among the advantages we highlight:

• saving money;
• there is no need to take your smartphone to a service center and pick it up from there;
• your phone remains in your hands, and you are sure that you will not be deceived at the service center.

• purchasing the right tool;
• possibility of damaging the device;
• there is no guarantee that everything will be successful.

To summarize, we can say that changing the screen, although fraught with difficulties, is still possible at home.

Video instruction

For more accurate assimilation of material and warning possible errors, we offer detailed video instructions.

Despite all the efforts of Apple developers, the iPhone screen is one of the most vulnerable places. Accidentally dropping the device as a result of carelessness by the owner often leads to damage to the touchscreen. These are all kinds of cracks both on the entire surface of the display and on one of the sections.

If cracks appear on the glass, the gadget cannot be used. Your favorite iPhone doesn’t respond well to touch or doesn’t respond at all. You will have to change the screen, since it is no longer possible to repair it in any other way.

In what cases does the screen break?

In most cases, replacing the display on an iPhone is due to mechanical damage. In extremely rare cases, such methods are resorted to when:

• moisture getting inside the device;
• software errors;
• factory defect;
• severe hypothermia of the gadget or overheating.

It is worth remembering that if cracks appear on the glass, replacement is required. In addition to control functions, the screen protects the electronics, and if it is damaged, the iPhone will not work for a long time. Over time, you will need to buy an expensive smartphone, but if you change the screen in time, you can avoid such large expenses.

Professional display replacement at a service center

Some sources claim that you can replace the screen yourself. It is enough to perform the following set of actions:

1. Remove the cover of the smartphone.
2. Unscrew the battery cable screws.
3. Remove the battery.
4. Unscrew the protection of the speaker cable, motherboard and antenna.
5. Extract all details.
6. Remove the display module.

In fact, unprofessional intervention in the operation of such complex electronics threatens to aggravate the breakdown itself. Requires extensive experience working with electronic devices this company, as well as a set of tools. In most cases, with unprofessional intervention, the cost of repair increases significantly. There is no need to take risks in this case, since the services of professionals are not that expensive.

Each iPhone model has its own display features. For example, starting from the fourth model, the protective glass and the screen itself are inseparable. That is why it is impossible to simply change the glass panel: you will have to completely change the screen.

By contacting our Total Apple service center, you can be sure that within an hour your favorite iPhone will be working again. When dropped, not only the screen is damaged, but also many internal elements. Specialists will conduct a full diagnosis of the gadget and detect all defects that need to be eliminated.
