Procedure

1. Power Off the Phone: Before starting, make sure your iPhone XR is completely turned off.

   • Use the Pentalobe screwdriver to remove the two screws near the charging port at the bottom of the phone.
3. Softening the Adhesive:
   • Optionally, use a heat gun or hairdryer to gently warm the edges of the iPhone. This step helps in loosening the adhesive holding the screen.
4. Opening the Screen:
   • Carefully insert a plastic pry tool between the screen and the phone’s chassis.
   • Gently work around the edges to separate the screen from the body. Do this step slowly to avoid damaging the internal components or the frame.
5. Removing the Screen:

6. Removing Internal Components:
   • Use the Y000 screwdriver to remove the five screws securing the metal bracket over the connectors.
   • Carefully remove the bracket.
   • Disconnect the battery using the plastic pry tool to avoid any short circuits.
   • Disconnect the two flex cables of the screen.
   • Remove the front camera module carefully, ensuring not to damage the ribbon cables.
7. Transferring Components to New Screen:
   • Transfer the front camera module to the new screen. Ensure that all parts, including the small metal bracket, are correctly placed and screwed in.
8. Reconnecting the New Screen:
   • Connect the flex cables of the new screen to the motherboard.
   • Reconnect the battery.
   • Before proceeding, power on the phone to test the new screen functionality.
9. Reassembling the Phone:
   • Once you confirm the new screen is working correctly, turn off the phone again.
   • Place the metal bracket back and secure it with the five screws.
   • Carefully align the screen back onto the phone chassis, starting from the top and gently pressing down the edges to ensure it fits perfectly.
10. Final Steps:

• Insert and tighten the two Pentalobe screws near the charging port.
• Perform a final check to ensure everything is working correctly.
