Title: iPhone XS Max Screen Replacement Guide
Introduction: Hello, this is Simon, and in this guide, I’m going to walk you through the process of replacing the screen on an iPhone XS Max. For those who wish to follow along, replacement screens and necessary tools are available on Amazon or eBay, and links can be found in the video description.
Tools Required:
- Pentalobe 0.8 screwdriver
- Metal prying tool
- Tri screwdriver or a screwdriver with a Y tip
Steps for Screen Replacement:
- Removing Screws: Begin by removing the two pentalobe screws located next to the charging port at the bottom of the phone.
- Separating the Screen: Use the metal prying tool to gently lift the screen, cutting through the adhesive seal around the edge of the iPhone. Be cautious not to insert the tool too deeply to avoid damaging internal components.
- Opening the Phone: Carefully open the screen to the right at a 90-degree angle.
- Removing Internal Brackets: Use the tri screwdriver to remove screws holding internal brackets in place. These brackets cover the connectors for the battery, screen, digitizer, and front sensor assembly.
- Disconnecting the Battery and Other Components: With the brackets removed, disconnect the battery to power down the phone. Then, disconnect the digitizer, LCD screen, and front sensor assembly.
- Transferring the Front Sensor Assembly: The front sensor assembly needs to be transferred to the new screen. This process involves carefully separating and transferring components attached to the old screen. Pay attention to the liquid damage indicator, which turns pink if there’s been exposure to moisture.
- Testing the New Screen: Before fully installing the new screen, connect it along with the battery to ensure the phone powers up correctly.
- Reassembling the Phone: Carefully align and connect the new screen, battery, and other components. Replace the brackets and screws to secure everything in place.
- Sealing the Screen: Align the top of the new screen first, then gently press down the sides to reseal the phone.
- Final Steps: Replace the two pentalobe screws at the bottom of the phone.
