Step-by-step

1. 1

   Remove Bottom Pentalobe Screws

   2 min

   Power off your iPhone completely before starting. Remove the two 6.7 mm P2 Pentalobe screws located on either side of the Lightning port.

2. 2

   Heat the Display Perimeter

   3 min

   Apply a heated iOpener or heat gun to the bottom edge of the display for two minutes. This softens the water-resistance adhesive sealing the display screen.

3. 3

   Attach Suction Cup and Insert Pick

   3 min

   Place a suction cup near the bottom edge of the screen and pull upward gently to create a small gap. Insert an opening pick under the glass lip.

4. 4

   Slice Display Perimeter Adhesive

   4 min

   Slide the opening pick around the bottom, left, and right edges to cut through the frame adhesive. Do not insert the pick deeper than 3 mm along the top edge.

5. 5

   Open Display and Unscrew Lower Bracket

   2 min

   Swing the display open from the right edge like a book cover. Remove the six Y000 screws securing the logic board shield bracket.

6. 6

   Disconnect the Battery

   1 min

   Use the flat end of a spudger to pry the battery connector straight up from its socket. Bend the cable slightly away to prevent accidental power contact.

7. 7

   Disconnect Display Flex Cables

   2 min

   Disconnect the OLED panel, digitizer, and front sensor assembly flex cables from the board. Lift the complete display assembly free from the chassis.

8. 8

   Remove Rear Camera Shield

   2 min

   Unscrew the two Y000 screws holding the rear camera bracket in place. Lift and remove the metal bracket using tweezers.

9. 9

   Disconnect and Remove Rear Cameras

   3 min

   Pry up the three rear camera press connectors using a spudger. Carefully lift the triple-camera module out of the rear casing.

10. 10

    Unscrew Logic Board Fasteners

    3 min

    Remove the standoff screws and Y000 screws securing the logic board inside the rear case. Keep track of each unique screw location.

11. 11

    Disconnect Interconnect Cables from Board

    3 min

    Use a spudger to disconnect the wireless charging coil, lightning port, upper antenna, and side button flex connectors from the logic board.

12. 12

    Remove Logic Board

    2 min

    Gently lift the logic board from its lower edge and pull it free from the enclosure. Place it safely onto an anti-static surface.

13. 13

    Remove Battery Adhesive Strips

    4 min

    Grasp each adhesive pull-tab at the top and bottom of the battery with tweezers. Slowly pull each strip out flat and parallel to the housing.

14. 14

    Extract Battery from Chassis

    3 min

    Lift the battery out of the frame once all adhesive strips are fully removed. Apply a drop of high-grade isopropyl alcohol if any adhesive remains stuck.

15. 15

    Unscrew Wireless Charging Assembly

    3 min

    Remove the Phillips and Y000 screws securing the wireless charging pad and integrated side button brackets to the inner rear glass frame.

16. 16

    Peel Off Wireless Charging Coil

    4 min

    Apply mild heat to the external rear glass, then slide a plastic pick beneath the charging pad to slice its adhesive. Lift the assembly out.

17. 17

    Install New Wireless Charging Assembly

    3 min

    Align the replacement wireless charging coil and button brackets with the screw posts in the chassis. Press firmly to engage the pre-applied backing adhesive.
