Today I’m going to show you how to replace the screen on the iPhone 6+. If you want to
see any of the other repairs go ahead and click the links on the front menu. Here’s
the iPhone 6+. With the giant screen it is prone to breakage. So what we’re going to
go ahead and do is take out the bottom two screws. They are the Pentalobe screws, the
same screws that are in all the other iPhones. If you need any tools or parts, check the
video description. I’ll have everything linked down there. Take your suction cup and
lift up on the screen and that will allow you to slip your pry tool in between the screen
and the frame of the phone. Pry up very gently because you don’t want to damage the screen
any more than it is. And then you’ll be able to lift the screen up. Don’t lift it
past 90 degrees or you’ll put stress on the ribbing cables that are underneath this
metal plate. Take off the five screws. Then you can remove the metal plate. And then each
of these little ribbing cables is kind of like a LEGO. You just unsnap them from its
little connector and then lift it up. There’s four little connectors underneath here. Now
if the four connectors are done, the screen comes up, and your replacement screen probably
won’t come with the hardware, so I’m going to show you how to transfer all that to the
new screen. Start with the earpiece. There’s three screws on the metal bracket. Lift that
up. Then you can grab your earpiece out. Once again, replacement parts are in the video
description. And then you’ll probably need to move over the replacement parts as well.
They’re glued down so just unsnap those from the old screen. And then you can lift
off the ribbing cable contraption. This will also be linked down in the video description
below so if your proximity sensor or your camera is messed up, go ahead and check that
out. There’s two screws holding down the home button. Remove that bracket. And then
there’s one more of those little ribbing cable connectors right here so just unsnap
that. And then you can press the home button out from the front of the phone. Lift up the
little circuit board as well. Make sure not to put any stress on the ribbing cable at
all or else your fingerprint scanner won’t work when you install it again. There’s
the home button and fingerprint scanner. There’s a bunch of screws around the outside edge
of the metal plate so go ahead and undo those. And the bottom ribbing cable is still glued
to the frame so make sure you pry that up very gently and then the metal backing will
come away from the screen. There it is, along with the fingerprint scanner. And then you
can transfer all those parts over to your new screen and once again these are linked
down in the video description below so if you need to buy a new one check there. Place
that metal bracket back down on the phone again over the little ribbon flap that’s
underneath the earpiece. Make sure it’s on top. Get all the screws back in along the
sides. Now let’s get the home button in place. Just press it down. The glue that was
on it before should still be sticky so it should just stick right down in there how
it was. Clip that ribbing cable. You’ll kind of feel a little snap in place just like
a LEGO. Put the two screws on the bracket back in. Pretty straightforward. Now with
the earpiece section, you want to get that little bracket in place. Once you get the
ribbing cable on top of it it’ll hold the plastic better than it is right now. Fold
each part individually. Place it exactly where it needs to go. It’s kind of like a puzzle
so if each part isn’t exactly where it needs to be it’s not going to fit very smoothly.
Slide the earpiece in between the cables because the top part of the cables have the connections
that make the earpiece work. Get the camera down in the little plastic hole and then the
metal bracket goes right over the top. It should fit very easily, lining up very easily
with the holes. If it’s not fitting easily, you should probably lift it up and make sure
everything’s positioned correctly. Now that all our parts are on the new screen, we ca
go ahead and clip it back in. Once again, you’ve got to be really careful with these
cables. You don’t want to bend any of the connections. So make sure you position it
directly over the connection and then press down and you’ll feel it snap in with your
fingers. I keep on referencing LEGOs because that’s exactly how it is. Now if your screen
has lines through it when you turn it back on there’s a chance that one of these ribbon
cables didn’t get snapped on correctly. So turn your phone off and then lift up the
screen again and make sure each of the connections are good. I mean there’s a chance that your
screen is bad but check the connections first. The connections are good on this one so now
I can go ahead and put that metal bracket on. I’m turning the phone off first because
you don’t want to work on it at all while the phone is on. Now the metal bracket with
the five screws, get that back into place. And the top of the phone has these little
grooves that you want to slide into the frame. Get that first, and then you can press down
along the edges, snapping each of those little things back into place as well. Remember,
don’t use a lot of force or you’re going to break your new screen and that is not the
direction you want to go. Once your screen is snapped in, you can turn it on, make sure
the bottom two Pentalobe screws are in, and you are set. Thanks a ton for watching. The
best thing you can do for me is just subscribe to my YouTube channel. I do put up videos
fairly often and it does mean a lot to me. Thanks a ton for watching. If you have any
