Today I’m going to show you how to replace the charging port in your IPhone 6S. Before
you jump into this semi difficult repair make sure that it’s not just a piece of dust
or lint blocking your charging port. You can usually reach in there and clean it out with
a small brush or a tooth pick. I will link all the tools and parts you need down in the
video description of this video. There are two screws down at the bottom of the phone.
They are pentalobe screws. Unscrew them. Now you can lift up on the screen with a suction
cup and pry between the metal frame of the screen and the metal frame of the phone. Make
sure not to bend the screen at all while you’re pulling it up or else you will break your
LCD, and it will turn into a more costly repair then just your charging port. There is adhesive
surrounding the outside of the phone. I separated that with my plastic pry tool, and the screen
was able to just lift up away from the body. Be very careful. Do not bend the screen up
the screen past 90 degrees. So there are 4 screws here and metal plate. I will link a
free PDF screw chart organizer in the video description. That will help out. There are
3 ribbon cables right here you can just unsnap them from the phone like Legos. Then there’s
a metal plate and screws here for the charging port. There’s two screws right here for
the vibrator motor. It just pulses back and forth instead of spinning around like a regular
vibrator motor. You can see the contact points for the charging port. I am disconnecting
the battery and disconnecting the charging port from the motherboard. Pull it away from
the loud speaker. Then there is one wire cable down here on the motherboard as well. Be very
careful with that it is fragile. There is 3 screws here for the loud speaker. Also 3
screws here for the headphone jack, and then six screws here just for the charging port
itself. Make sure to put all those on the screw organizer that you printed out from
the video description. Then there is one hidden screw behind this black tape. Just scrape
away the black tape and find your little hidden guy. Remove it. Pull up the end of this wire
cable from the loud speaker and the loud speaker will be able to pull away from the phone body.
Here’s the loud speaker it has two gold contact points up at the top. They just rest
up against the charging port ribbon cable and that’s how it receives its signal. Then
the charging port ribbon cable can lift up away from the phone. Be very gentle because
there are two parts that are still stuck to the phone body. There’s a microphone here
and then there’s a microphone on the other side as well, and it’s held in with this
little plastic bit. There is a spot on the screw chart for that as well. Keep it organized.
Then you can pull away the other microphone from the phone body. Pull the headphone jack
out from its little slot in the phone body as well and that releases your charging port.
You can see the contact points for the vibrator, the loud speaker, the two microphones, the
headphone jack, and the charging port itself. Here’s the empty phone body. Take your new
charging port. There’s probably adhesive on it, so remove all of the safety tabs on
top of the adhesive. Set your charging port down into place and put the microphones back
into their spot. Make sure the hole lines up with the hole in the frame as well. Otherwise
your microphone won’t be able to hear you when you speak. Then you can line up the little
rubber piece as well. Put all the screws back into place except for the red one. Leave the
red one out for right now. Get the loud speaker put back into place as well. Once again all
this stuff will be linked down in the video description. Make sure to get the wire back
into place, and make sure it’s pinched on top of the loud speaker; you can see the top
left there. Now you can put in the rest of the screws that hold in the loud speaker,
and the charging port. You can clip the ribbon cable into place, and the wire cable. Make
sure that positioned directly on top of its connection before you place it down. 2 screws
holding the vibrator motor. Then the last thing you want to pin down is the cable for
the battery. There’s the 3 ribbon cables for the screen. You have your front camera,
digitizer, and LCD ribbons. Make sure they are all placed down. Then before I put the
metal plate in I’m just going to turn on the phone and make sure it works. Looks like
everything is working fine, but if you have like lines running through your screen or
any white there is a good chance that your cables aren’t plugged in correctly and you
are going to want to re-seat them, and plug them in again. To get your screen pinched
down into place line up the top first then you can slide your hands down the side and
clamp it down into place all the way down. If you have any questions make sure to leave
them down in the comments. I do respond fairly regularly. Make sure to put the bottom two
screws in the bottom of your phone. Make sure to check out a couple of my other videos and
don’t forget to check out my Instagram. I do more fun things then just taking apart
cellphones. Thanks a ton for watching, hope to see you around.
