Hello everyone, today I show you how to disassemble iPhone X and replace display
To disassemble the iPhone X you need the following tools:
• Screwdriver set • Plastic mediator
• Suction cup for removing display • Tweezers and opening plastic tool
• Hairdryer In the description under this video, I left
links to the necessary tools and parts for replacement.
Before disassembly, turn off the iPhone and remove the sim card tray.
Unscrew the two screws near the charging port with a Pentalobe 0.8 mm screwdriver
Take any hair dryer and heat the surface of the screen for 1-2 minutes.
Set the suction cup at the bottom of the screen and pull the ring up.
Next, take a plastic mediator and begin to disconnect the display module from
the iPhone X
The case of the iPhone 10 opening like a book.
Open the display to the right side.
Using a Tri-Wing 0.6mm screwdriver, unscrew 5 screws and remove the metal panel.
Under the metal panel, you will see cables.
The first is disconnecting the battery cable, and then disconnecting the 3 display cables
For replace the broken display on iPhone X, you need to remove the cable with the speaker
and sensors.
First, unscrew the 3 screws that fix the ear speaker.
Disconnect the speaker and let's begin to the removal of proximity sensors.
Turn over the display and heat the surface where the front camera located.
Now very carefully remove the light sensor.
This light sensor is part of the Face ID (biometric) function, it cannot be replaced because it
is software-related to your iPhone X, so it must be reinstall to a new display.
If this sensor is damaged or replaced, the Face ID function will not work, so remove
this sensor very carefully.
If the diffuser strip remains in the display, as
happened in my case, do not panic, you will need to carefully pull it out using tweezers
or a thin plastic card.
You can heat the surface on the back side of the display, it will facilitate the process
of removal.
It is very important to install the diffuser with the same side in the new display, otherwise,
the Face ID function will not work.
Now, install the light sensor.
You will need to hold the sensor in place when installing the screws that secure the
speaker.
If everything is done correctly, the light sensor and the Face ID function will work
correctly, and we will check it right now.
To test your smartphone, connect 3 display cables, then connect the battery cable to
the mainboard.
Turn over the display but do not close the case this is not necessary.
Turn on the smartphone.
Now go into the settings of the Face ID function and add new data.
If your face has already scanned to the iPhone X before, then at the unlocking stage, you will
already make sure that the Face ID is working.
Also, check how the new display work.
If everything works correctly, go to the final stage of the assembly of the smartphone.
