DIY Steps to Change iPhone 6 Screen Parts

If the screen of your beloved iPhone 6 has suffered some kind of physical damage and your screen has been shattered beyond recognition, then you should not waste your time in replacing it. But there are certain things that need to be kept in mind while doing so.

If you have already purchased ‘Apple Care’, then the DIY option is not for you. Making any move for automatic screen replacement will void the terms of the agreement and you will not be able to take advantage of ‘Apple Care’ benefits. However, it does not matter if your iPhone 6 is still under warranty or not because the warranty does not cover any kind of physical or water damage.

Keeping these factors in mind will help you decide whether or not to continue. Make sure you have purchased a genuine Apple iPhone 6 screen and replacement tools for the job. Here are some simple DIY steps to guide you towards iPhone 6 screen replacement.

• Start the process by removing the bottom screws with a pentalobe driver. Removing these screws loosens the screen.

• To remove the cracked screen, you can use an iSlack device which is a suction cup designed for that purpose. However, the screen must be removed halfway with the iSlack and the rest must be removed only after disconnecting the various cables and connectors.

• Remove the PCB connector board and connector wires. The process continues with the removal of the earpiece, camera, proximity sensor, light sensor, and microphone flex assembly.

• When removing such assemblies and connectors, you must be careful as most of them are attached with adhesive and applying too much force can damage the components.

• Focus on removing the home button assembly and the home button itself. The button is fixed with an adhesive to the flex assembly that is embedded in the screen and must be removed carefully to avoid any type of damage.

• After carefully removing all those parts, you will find the LCD back plate which is attached with 7 Phillips screws.

Once you have removed the old LCD screen backplate, you can install the new screen, carefully placing all the components in the exact order they were removed. It will be better if you write down the whole process in a sequence so that when you are reinstalling all the components you can refer to the notes and avoid errors.
