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
To replace the broken display on the iPhone 7 Plus, you need to remove the ear speaker,
front camera and home button from the display module.
Let's start by removing the earpiece and front camera from the display.
Unscrew 5 screws and remove the metal holder.
Now remove the ear speaker.
Next, go to removing the cable with the front camera and light and proximity sensors.
A cable with sensors is glued to the display case and it is recommended to heat the back
of the display with a hairdryer for successful peeling off.
Take a thin, but not sharp tool; it is best to use tweezers with flat ends and start peeling
off the cable first, and then the sensors.
Now let’s begin to remove of home button.
Unscrew the 4 screws and remove the metal panel.
Next, you need to disconnect the button cable from the cable of the display module.
Take the tweezers and press a little to the display cable; disconnect the cable for the
home button cable.
Now important step, you need to peel off the cable of the home button from the surface
of the display module.
Heat the surface of the cable with a hairdryer and then, with a thin, but not sharp tool,
begin peeling off the cable.
And the last step, unscrew the remaining screws and remove the metal panel from the display.
Now the display completely disassembled and everything what removed now need be install
on a new display module.

the screws.
Set the home button and connect to the display cable.
Install the metal panel and fasten the 4 screws.

Install the ear speaker and put the metal holder on top.
Fasten 5 screws.
The display module assembled, now you can connect and check how the new display works.
Please note that first 3 display cables are connected, and lastly a battery cable.
If the display is working fine, you can begin to the final stage of the assembly of the
iPhone 7 Plus with the restoration of water resistance.
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.
