In this video I’m going to show you how to replace the screen on the IPhone 6S.
I will also have repair videos on how to change the charging port, the battery, and the rear
camera, and you can find those in the video description.
First things first turn off the phone.
You can find the tools listed in the video description below.
I will link where you can buy those.
You will take your pentalobe screwdriver, and take out the bottom 2 screws in the phone
then you will want to take a suction cup and pull up on the screen as you slide a tool
between the metal frame and the screen of the phone.
There is a thin layer of adhesive all the way around the bottom of this phone.
As well as around the sides.
So I found that it’s easier to take my little plastic pry tool, and separate that adhesive
before really prying up on the screen.
Make sure you only pry up on the metal frame of the screen, and the metal frame of the
phone.
If you lift up on the LCD of the screen you will end up breaking something.
There is a little metal plate here held down by 4 screws.
I will link a PDF chart in the video description for how to keep your screws organized so that
will be very helpful.
Remove that metal plate.
Then detach 3 ribbon cables.
This is for the LCD, digitizer, and front camera.
After those cables are up the screen will detach from the screen.
There’s a good chance that when you buy your screen it will not come with all these
goodies attached.
Like the earpiece and the home button.
So you will have to move them over from your old screen.
Starting off with the earpiece there are 3 screws that hold down that top piece.
Lift up that metal bracket.
There is a little lasso that reaches down and surrounds that metal bit on the screen
down there.
So make sure not to rip that lasso part off.
I don’t know what it does but it’s probably important.
Then the ear piece pulls out from underneath the cables.
Then you can lift out the proximity sensors from their little brackets, and this little
gold piece down here as well and that releases the front camera and all the sensors that
go with that; like the proximity and motion sensors.
I will link this part down in the video description as well.
Here’s the screen of the phone.
The metal plate is held down with 3 screws, one screw, another 3 screws on the other side,
and one screw down by the home button.
So undo all those screws and the metal plate will lift off after you remove this adhesive
that’s holding it down to the top of the screen.
Now that the metal plates gone we can remove the two screws that are holding down the home
button.
Take away that metal bracket.
Unlatch that home button cable here.
It’s just like a little Lego; you just lift it up and out.
There is a little bit of adhesive holding down the home button, and holding down the
little circuit board down there for the fingerprint scanner.
So undo that.
Then you can lift that out.
So there is a good chance you will have to remove these plastic bits as well, and transfer
those over to your new screen.
So pop those out from their frame.
Be careful not to break them.
Here is the screen itself.
This is the part you will most likely get when you order.
I will link these down in the video description below.
It will most likely come with the home button cable down at the bottom ready to attach to
your home button.
If not I will make another video on how to replace that.
Getting the home button back into place.
Most of the little ribbon cables have a little pin that they sit down inside.
That will help you guide where to put the ribbon cables.
Get the home button put into place, and the two screws holding down the metal bracket.
Then you can take the back metal plate and tape it down onto the screen.
Then get all of those screws, there’s 8 of them, screwed back into the back side.
Take your little plastic bits; we are installing these on your new screen now.
You don’t need to glue them in.
It’s actually dangerous to use glue because the glue might actually get on the lens itself.
It’s actually pretty easy to get this ribbon cable contraption put back in place as well.
Start with the little gold unit down at the bottom.
Then line up the little square pieces up at the top.
Just tuck them back into the little plastic bracket.
Push them down into place so that they are flush with the phone.
Then you can see that little niblet on the ear piece; you just tuck that down into the
hole.
You will feel the little niblet go down into place.
Here are four little gold circles that go onto the top of the earpiece.
That’s how the ear piece receives its connection.
Now we are going to take the metal bracket after the camera is put down into place.
We are going to reattach the lasso down around the metal.
Then get the 3 screws that go down into that bracket, tuck that in.
Then we can plug the screen back into the mother board.
Be very careful.
Make sure it lines up exactly over the little Lego connection, and press it down.
You will feel it kind of snap into place.
If you look closely in the high definition you can see mine latch down.
Before we put the metal plate on I’m going to fold the screen down and just see if it
works really quick.
Now if you have lines through your screen or if it is just a white screen you’re going
want to un-connect the cables and reconnect them again and that might fix any screen issues
you’re having.
Lucky for me all of my cables are connected correctly so I’m going to go ahead and lift
up the screen.
Make sure to turn the screen off before you lift it up.
Then set that metal plate down into place, and put the 4 screws in.
They are different sizes, so make sure them you have them in the correct order.
The best way to put the screen down is to make sure the top is lined up first and tuck
that into place then you can slide your hands down the side of the phone and latch all the
way down.
Make sure to put those two screws down in the bottom as well.
Hopefully I was able to help you out.
