Step-by-Step Tutorial: Replacing iPhone 11 Screen
In this tutorial, I’ll guide you through replacing the screen of an iPhone 11. Remember, this is for the standard iPhone 11, not the iPhone 11 Pro.
Tools Needed:
- Pentalobe screwdriver
- Pry tool (metal)
- Plastic pry tool
- Tweezers
- Phillips screwdriver
- Y screwdriver
- New iPhone 11 screen
Steps for Screen Replacement:
- Removing Screws:
- Use the pentalobe screwdriver to remove the two screws at the bottom of the iPhone.
- Opening the Phone:
- Insert the metal pry tool into the edge of the phone. The iPhone 11 has deeper edges, so you might need to insert the tool a bit more than with older models.
- Carefully move around the edges to cut through the adhesive tape. This adhesive makes the phone water-resistant, so it can be quite sticky.
- Disconnecting the Battery:
- Use the plastic pry tool to disconnect the battery to ensure safety during the repair.
- Removing the Front Assembly:
- Carefully disconnect the flex cables connecting the screen to the phone’s body. Be cautious as these can be delicate.
- If there is adhesive holding the cables, gently separate them.
- Transferring Components:
- Remove the backplate from the damaged screen and transfer it to the new screen. This process involves unscrewing and carefully lifting the backplate and other components (like the camera holder and metal bracket) and placing them onto the new screen.
- Reconnect the flex cables to the backplate.
- Reattaching the Screen:
- Carefully align the new screen with the phone’s body.
- Begin by connecting the top part of the screen, then gently press around the edges to seal it. Ensure the screen is properly aligned with the body of the phone before pressing down to re-adhere it.
- Finalizing Installation:
- Reconnect the battery.
- Replace the two pentalobe screws at the bottom of the iPhone.
- Testing:
- Turn on the iPhone to ensure the new screen works correctly.
Tips:
- Handle flex cables with care as they are fragile.
- Ensure no dust or debris gets trapped between the screen and phone body.
- Keep track of screws and where they belong to ensure proper reassembly.
Conclusion:
Replacing the iPhone 11 screen requires attention to detail and care. If you’re not confident in performing these steps, consider seeking professional help. Proper installation is essential for the functionality of your iPhone.
