Title: Step-by-Step Guide to iPhone XS Screen Replacement
Author: Simon
Hey there, Simon here! Today, I’m excited to share with you a comprehensive guide on replacing the screen of an iPhone XS. This phone had water damage, and it was essential to replace the screen to restore its functionality. Let’s get into the process.
Materials Needed:
- Replacement iPhone XS screen (full assembly)
- Pentalobe (P2) screwdriver
- Metal prying tool
- Y-shaped (Tri-point) screwdriver
- Plastic prying tool
Step-by-Step Process:
- Remove the Bottom Screws: Start by removing the two screws next to the charging port using the Pentalobe screwdriver.
- Open the Screen: Use the metal prying tool to gently separate the screen from the base, focusing on not going too deep. You’re cutting through the adhesive around the edges.
- Detach the Connectors: Open the phone to the right at a 90-degree angle. Remove the bracket covering the connectors with the Y-shaped screwdriver. Use a plastic prying tool to disconnect the battery and other cables.
- Inspect for Water Damage: Check for any signs of liquid damage. In this case, there was visible water damage on the screen and some moisture residue.
- Transfer the Front Speaker: Move the ear speaker from the damaged screen to the new assembly. This involves removing three screws and transferring the entire assembly.
- Reattach the Connectors: Carefully align and reconnect the flex cables. They should click into place gently without force.
- Final Assembly: Ensure all cables are connected and secure the bracket back in place. Finally, align the top of the screen and press down gently but firmly to seal it.
- Screw Everything Back: Put the two screws back in next to the charging port.
- Test the Phone: Turn on the phone to ensure everything is working correctly.
Conclusion:
The iPhone XS is now functional with its new screen! The process requires patience and attention to detail, but it’s certainly doable with the right tools and a steady hand.
