iPhone 6 Plus - Replacing the screen

1. Turn your iPhone off completely to avoid damaging it during the repair. Press the standby button for about three seconds until the slider appears.
2. Wipe it from left to right. Now your iPhone will shut down completely, which can take about ten seconds.

1. You need a pentalobe screwdriver to open the iPhone 6 Plus.
2. Remove the two pentalobe screws at the bottom of the enclosure. They are located to the right and left of the Lightning connector. Put the screws in the same container.

1. Put your iPhone 6 Plus on a soft, clean surface to avoid scratching the back.
2. To lift the front panel, you need a suction cup and a hard plastic pick. If the screen is severely cracked, cover all of it with packing tape before you continue.
3. Place the suction cup over the Home button (if possible) or next to it (see figure 1). While lifting the screen with the suction cup, insert the hard plastic pick between the aluminum frame and the display frame and press down the aluminum frame. Also use the hard plastic pick to raise the screen (see figure 2). This usually takes several attempts.
4. As soon as you can lift the screen a few millimeters, you have to carefully work your way around the outside until it’s loosened on both sides (see figure 3).

1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the Phillips screws on the battery connector (see figure 1). Then lift the cover (see figure 2). Put all the parts in the same container.
   1 x 3.2 mm Phillips screw
   1 x 2.3 mm Phillips screw
2. Now carefully lift the battery connector by inserting the pointed tip of the ESD spudger slightly below the connector (see figure 3). If you don’t have a spudger, you can also try using your fingernail.

1. First remove the five Phillips screws from the silver cover (see figure 1). Put the screws in the same container. Then lift the cover to remove it.
   1 x 1.6 mm Phillips screw
   3 x 1.2 mm Phillips screw
   1 x 2.9 mm Phillips screw
2. Disconnect the following four overlapping connectors (see figure 2) in the order shown below. Be very careful. Place the pointed tip of the spudger very slightly below the contact and lift it up.
   Front camera/sensor/earpiece/ambient microphone
   Touch ID cable
   LCD
   Touchscreen
3. Test the new display.
   
   • Temporarily connect the new display assembly. The LCD connector is a little tricky to connect.
   • Start the iPhone and check whether the LCD and touchscreen work properly. Make sure the connectors are securely plugged in to the connections. If not, the display will remain black or stripes will appear on it.
   • If the display is slightly yellow, see the last step in this manual.

1. The earpiece is on the back of the display unit. Remove the three Phillips screws from the cover on the earpiece (see figure 1) and put them in the same container.
   2 x 2.2 mm Phillips screw
   1 x 1.3 mm Phillips screw
2. Now remove the cover. Put it in the container with the screws you removed beforehand (see figure 2).
3. The earpiece is under the front camera’s ribbon cable. Fold the cable slightly to the side so you can remove the earpiece (see figure 3).

1. Remove the cable set in two steps: First remove the sensors by inserting the spudger below the cable set but above the small gold ambient microphone and lifting the sensors out (see figure 1).
2. Now insert the spudger below the ribbon cable at the point where the ambient microphone is (see figure 3). It’s slightly glued in place at this point.
3. Now you can lift the cable set to remove it (see figure 3).

1. Remove the two equally sized Phillips screws (see figure 1). Now remove the silver cover (see figure 2). Put everything in the same container.
   2 x 1.8 mm Phillips screw
2. Using the spudger, carefully disconnect the contact of the Home button cable (see figure 3).
3. Carefully insert the flat end of the spudger below the cable set, which is generally glued in place, to detach it (see figure 4).
4. The Home button is glued to the screen from the inside. Using your finger, carefully press the button inward from the front side (see figure 5).
5. Once the cable set is detached, you can lift it out.

1. Now remove the eight Phillips screws that hold the metal cover in place (see figure 1).
   2 x 1.8 mm Phillips screw
   6 x 1.2 mm Phillips screw
2. The connector of the Home button’s connection cable is glued to the back of the display. Carefully detach it using the laboratory spatula (see figure 2).
3. Now remove the rear panel (see figure 3).

1. Not all available displays have the same features. If necessary, you will have to take some of the following parts from your old display before installing the new screen (see figure 1):
   • Front camera bracket (lightly glued in place)
   • Sensor bracket (lightly glued in place)
2. You can also take the sticker from your old display.

1. Now install the Home button again (see figure 1) and connect the connectors.
2. Put on the silver cover and screw it in place (see figure 2).
   2 x 1.8 mm Phillips screw

1. Now place the silver rear panel on the back of the new display and screw it in place (see figure 1).
   2 x 1.8 mm Phillips screw
   6 x 1.2 mm Phillips screw
2. Securely connect the contact of the Home button’s connection cable again (see figure 2).

1. First stick the ambient microphone to its original position (see figure 1).
2. Then attach each of the sensors to the corresponding bracket (see figure 2).
   It’s important to position the sensors correctly because, otherwise, the proximity sensor won’t be fully functional.

1. Put the earpiece back in its original position between the FaceTime camera and the sensors (see figure 1). Then put the cover back on (see figure 2).
2. Now fasten the Phillips screws (see figure 3). Make sure the front camera is centered on the front of the display. Move it slightly if necessary.

   1 x 1.3 mm Phillips screw

Note that the screws aren’t the same length. If you mix them up, a screw will press against the display glass from the inside and damage it.

1. Reattach the connectors (see figure 1). Connecting the LCD connector generally takes a few tries. Be very careful to avoid bending the connector.

   Touch ID cable
   LCD
   Touchscreen
2. Start your iPhone as soon as the connectors are securely attached. Check the function of the LCD, touchscreen, proximity sensor, front camera and earpiece.
   If the connectors aren’t connected properly, stripes will appear on the display or parts of the touchscreen won’t work.
   
3. Now attach the cover and screw it in place (see figure 2).
   1 x 1.6 mm Phillips screw
   3 x 1.2 mm Phillips screw
   1 x 2.9 mm Phillips screw

1. Connect the connectors for the battery, Lightning connector and little antenna cable again (see figure 1).
2. Now attach the silver cover and screw it in place (see figure 2).
1 x 3.2 mm Phillips screw
1 x 2.3 mm Phillips screw

1. Then carefully fold down the screen. Make sure that the edge on the upper part of the screen where the cables are clicks into place properly. Now carefully push the screen on toward the Home button until it is properly installed in the frame.

1. Now screw in the two pentalobe screws at the bottom of the enclosure.
