Title: Step-by-Step Guide to Replacing Your iPhone 12 Pro Screen
Introduction Hi everyone, Simon here! Hope you’re doing well. Today, I’m excited to walk you through a step-by-step guide on how to replace a cracked screen on your iPhone 12 Pro.
Getting Started First things first, you’ll need the right tools and replacement screen for this job. I’ve provided links in the description below where you can purchase these from Amazon or eBay. You’ll specifically need a 0.8 Pentalobe P2 screwdriver for this task.
Step 1: Removing the Screws Begin by removing the two screws at the bottom of your iPhone using the Pentalobe screwdriver. This is an essential first step to get access to the internals of the phone.
Step 2: Heating the Adhesive Since the iPhone 12 Pro is waterproof, it’s sealed with adhesive that needs to be heated for removal. Use a heat gun or a hair dryer to warm up the edges of the phone. Be careful not to overheat as this can damage internal components like the battery or motherboard.
Step 3: Prying Open the Screen Once the adhesive is heated, gently pry open the screen using a metal prying tool. Start from the bottom and carefully work your way around the phone. If the screen doesn’t lift easily, reheat and try again.
Step 4: Disconnecting the Battery and Screen With the screen open, use a tri screwdriver (0.6 size) to remove the bracket covering the battery connector. Disconnect the battery followed by the LCD and digitizer connectors.
Step 5: Transferring Components to the New Screen The next step is to transfer the ear speaker and proximity sensor to the new screen. This requires careful handling to avoid damaging the delicate components.
Step 6: Reconnecting Components Once the components are transferred, reconnect the LCD and digitizer connectors to the new screen. Ensure they snap in place without forcing them. Reconnect the battery and secure the bracket over it.
Step 7: Sealing the Phone To close the phone, align the top of the screen first, ensuring it fits well. Then, gently press the sides down to seal the phone. Replace and tighten the screws at the bottom.
Conclusion Power on your phone to ensure everything works as expected. And there you have it – your iPhone 12 Pro should now be as good as new with its brand new screen!
