How to Replace an iPhone 6 Plus LCD Screen and Digitizer
Welcome to today’s tutorial! If your iPhone 6 Plus screen is damaged or malfunctioning, you’re in the right place. This comprehensive guide will show you how to replace both the LCD screen and the digitizer. Additionally, for those of you looking to purchase a replacement, I have provided a link in the description below.
1. Preparation:
Before starting, ensure you have the right replacement kit. The kit I’m recommending comes pre-installed with a new camera, speaker, home button, LCD, and digitizer. This makes the process smoother and more efficient.
2. Power Off the iPhone:
Before you begin, power off the iPhone to ensure no electrical components are active during the replacement.
3. Unscrew the Bottom Screws:
Using a pentalobe screwdriver, remove the two screws located at the bottom of the iPhone.
4. Pry Open the Screen:
Insert a plastic pry tool just enough to get a grip between the screen and the body frame. Gently work your way around to loosen and eventually lift the screen.
5. Remove the Screen’s Internal Screws:
Once the screen is detached, you’ll notice five screws. It’s crucial to save these screws in order and remember that they differ in size. Remove them carefully and set them aside in sequence.
6. Disconnect the Cable and Remove the Screen:
With a plastic pry tool, gently disconnect the cable linking the screen to the phone. With the cable detached, you can now remove the old screen.
7. Transfer the Original Touch ID:
The new screen does not come with the Touch ID sensor. Hence, it’s vital to transfer the original Touch ID to ensure the home button’s functionality remains intact.
- Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the two screws holding the home button bracket.
- Gently pry open the cable connected to the home button.
- After removing the home button, ensure it’s free of dust or broken glass before transferring it to the new screen.
8. Install the Home Button on the New Screen:
Place the original home button in the new screen and secure it using the bracket and its two screws. Press the button a few times to ensure it feels right.
9. Connect the New Screen:
Align the new screen’s connectors to the iPhone and press gently. You should hear a click when they snap into place.
10. Secure the Screen with the Bracket:
Reposition the bracket over the connectors and secure it using the five screws you removed earlier.
11. Test the New Screen:
Before completing the reassembly, turn on the iPhone to ensure that the screen, sensors, and home button are working correctly.
12. Reassemble the iPhone:
Slide the top of the screen into the phone body first, then press along the sides until it snaps into place.
13. Final Step:
Re-insert the two screws at the bottom of the iPhone.
And there you have it – a brand new, fully functional iPhone 6 Plus screen! If you found this guide useful, don’t forget to like and subscribe. Thanks for tuning in, and happy repairing!
