Hello everyone, today I show you how to disassemble iPhone X and replace Face ID module
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 10 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.
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.
To replace the Face ID module on iPhone X, you will need to remove the speaker, Taptic
Engine and the battery.
Unscrew the 7 screws and remove the GSM antenna.
Unscrew the screw between the Taptic Engine and the speaker.
Remove the metal panel and unplug the cable.
The speaker glued to the phone case.
If you want to save the adhesive tape, heat surface with
the hairdryer.
Unscrew one screw and disconnect the cable.
Now you can remove the Taptic Engine.
Now you need to remove 4 adhesive tapes from under the battery.
Take tweezers and catch on the edge of the silicone tape.
Gently and slowly, pull the silicone tape away from the battery.
In the same way, remove the remaining 3 silicone tapes.
Now, when you removed the battery, let's begin to remove the Face ID module.
Disconnect the 3 cables of the Face ID module from the mainboard.
Heat place where the cable glued with a hairdryer and gently peel off the cable from the iPhone
case.
In the description under the video, you find a link where you can buy a new front camera
or Face ID module for iPhone X Now I try to explain to you what can be replaced
in the Face ID module, and what cannot.
The Face ID module includes the infrared camera, the front camera, and dot projector.
The infrared camera and the dot projector are the main parts of the Face ID system and
tied to the iPhone 10 motherboard, so after replacing one of these parts, the Face ID
function will not work.
This is done for security reasons, however, you can replace the front camera.
For example, you take any other original Face ID module from another iPhone X, the Face
ID function will not work, but the front camera will work.
You can buy a copy of the module Face ID which includes the front camera, I left a link to
face id module in the description under the video.
If you need to replace the front camera on the iPhone X in your original module, for
example, for some reason, the face recognition function works, but the front camera doesn't
work, then you will have to disassemble the Face-ID module case and replace the front
camera.
Case of Face ID module welded by laser dot welding and it is rather difficult to open it
If you using pliers, carefully open the case of the Face-ID module in order not to damage
the elements inside the module.
Install the Face ID module and connect 3 cables to the motherboard.
The battery must be glue to the case, for this you can use a similar adhesive tape or
if you don’t have silicone tape, you can install the battery on double-sided tape.
Please note that double-sided tape is glue only to the metal part of the case.
Don't glue the battery to the wireless charging module.
Install the Taptic Engine into the smartphone case, fasten the screw and connect the cable.
Install the speaker into the case and connect the cable.
Set the metal panel and fasten screw.
Install the GSM antenna and fasten the 7 screws.
The iPhone X assembled and now you can connect the display module, test how the smartphone
works and begin to the final assembly with gluing the phone case.
To test the iPhone, you need to connect 3 display cables and after the battery cable.
Turn over the display, but do not close the case, just flip it.
Turn on the iPhone and check how the smartphone works.
If everything is working properly, let's begin to the final assembling.
Remove old glue from iPhone X case
Using medical alcohol, wipe the iPhone X case from the old adhesive tape.
If you want to restore the water resistance of your iPhone X, you need adhesive tape like
this.
Of course, you can assemble your iPhone X without this adhesive tape, but this makes
no sense because this adhesive tape costs only a couple of dollars.
In the description under the video, you find a link where to buy this adhesive tape.
Connect 3 display cables to the mainboard and only after connect the battery cable.
Install the metal panel and fasten
the screws.
Turn over the display and press it to the case.
Fasten the 2 screws near the charging port.
Install the tray with a sim card.
Now you can turn on your iPhone X and use it.
