on iPhone 7 Plus What tools you will needed to disassemble
the iPhone 7 Plus: Screwdriver set
Plastic mediator Tweezers

In the description under the video, I left links where you can buy all the necessary
tools and replacement parts for the iPhone 7 Plus.
Turn off the iPhone and remove the SIM card tray.
Remove the two screws near the charging port with a Pentalobe 0.8mm screwdriver
Take a hairdryer and heat the display surface for 1-2 minutes.
Set the suction cup near the home button and pull up the ring.
Next, take the plastic mediator and begin to disconnect the display from the case of iPhone
On the top of display, inside there are two latches that attached to the case, so you
need to pull the display down and unstick the display from top.
The case of iPhone 7 Plus opens like a book, that is, open the display to the right.
Now take a Tri-Wing 0.8mm screwdriver and remove 4 screws on the lower metal panel and
3 screws on the upper metal panel.
First, disconnect the battery cable from the mainboard and after disconnect three display cables
I think you have already watched enough videos on how to clean the iPhone 7 Plus speaker
grill from the outside, but this does not always solve the problem.
In this video I will show how to 100% clean all the dirt from the ear speaker.
To clean the iPhone 7 Plus ear speaker, you need to take a few steps - unscrew the 5 screws
and remove the metal holder.
Now remove the ear speaker.
As you can see, dirt has accumulated on ear speaker.
To clean take a soft brush and wipe the grill on the ear speaker.
Now the speaker looks ok, but the cleaning is not
finished, you still need to clean the grill on the display module.
To clean the grill on the display, you can use medical alcohol if the grill heavily clogged with dirt
So, I think with the cleaning of the ear speaker we have finished and now let's begin to reassembly
the iPhone 7 plus
Install the ear speaker and put the metal holder on top.
Fasten 5 screws.
Now you can connect the display and check how the speaker works.
Please note that first three display cables are connected, and lastly a battery cable.
If the ear speaker works much better, you can begin to the final stage of assembly with
restoration of water resistance.
If cleaning did not help and the speaker is quiet, then it remains only to replace the
ear speaker.
In the description under the video, I left a link where to buy a new speaker for iPhone 7 Plus
Remove the adhesive tape from the back cover of iPhone.
Now take a cotton swab and medical or isopropyl alcohol, and wipe the iPhone back cover from
the remnants of glue.
Now take a waterproof adhesive tape and put it on the iPhone case.
Using this adhesive tape, you restore resistance to dust and water.
First, connect three display cables to the mainboard of the smartphone, and then connect
the battery cable.
Install metal panels and fasten the screws.
Turn the display over and push it to the back cover.
Fasten the last 2 screws near the charging connector.
Install the SIM card and turn on the iPhone.
I hope this video was useful to you and helps repair your iPhone 7 Plus.
