iPhone 6 Wi-Fi antenna replacement guide. We will need a triangular plastic pick, a
plastic prying tool often referred to as a spudger, a proprietary Apple
screwdriver called the pentalobe screwdriver, a Philips head double zero
screwdriver. All of these tools should come standard with your replacement kit.
Go ahead and power down the iPhone. Make sure not to miss this step. Flip it over
so you can see the charging port, there you'll see there are two pentalobe
screws securing the screen to the frame. Go ahead and remove those with your
pentalobe screwdriver. Once removed we can go ahead and pry open the iPhone and
access the internal parts. Go ahead and use your triangular pick to find a spot
near the auxilary cable to slide it in. Once you slide it in go ahead and
slide it across the crack digging it slightly deeper in but be very careful
with your movements you don't want to damage any internal parts. Once the pick
is in about a quarter of an inch, go ahead and slightly twist it from left to
right to get that prying action. You want to crack open the lower half of the
phone be careful because the top portion of the phone is connected with about
four cables to the logic board. While holding up the screen remove the two
Phillips head screws that are holding in the ribbon cable bracket.
This bracket hides one Phillips head screw. Once the bracket is removed go
ahead and unplug the two ribbon cables that are running under the battery. The
reason we are unplugged these cables is in case they become disconnected we will
know for sure when we reconnect them that they have a good connection.
Moving on remove the four Phillips head screws that are securing the antenna as
follows, the one on the bottom that we exposed by removing the bracket the two
on the left side just unscrew them and leave them in place and then in the
third one all the way up top. Go ahead and remove the Wi-Fi antenna.
This is what it looks like.
Reassembly is quite simple it's just the process in reverse order. Drop the Wi-Fi
antenna into it's position.
Go ahead and secure the two Philips head screws inside first and then the one on
the top. Rescrew the one on the bottom. Reconnect the two ribbon
cables. Firmly press them in make sure it's a
nice and tight connection. Reinstall the bracket.
Re-secure the two Phillips head screws.
We're now ready to clamp up the phone. Go ahead and take the top portion of the
screen and push it into the top portion of the frame of the phone and gently
start putting it in. Apply slight pressure going around the contour of the
phone. Do this portion slowly to make sure that the connection is aligned
properly and tight. Once you went all the way around and you feel like you have a
solid lock it's time to reinstall the two pentalobe screws. It's time to power
up and test the phone. This concludes the Wi-Fi antenna replacement.
