Here are some helpful tips to assist you in completing a safe repair on your device. If you are unsure of something or have any questions, please feel free to contact us either by phone (0508 IGADGET) or by email

• Drain the battery below 25% before you start on this repair
• Always power down your device prior to working on it
• Track your screws on a screw mat or tape them to a drawing of your phone. This repair uses two 7.5mm pentalobe screws, two 1.2mm screws on the connector covers and two 1.0mm Y000 screws on the front sensor bracket - keep them apart so each goes back in the right place
• Remove the two 7.5mm pentalobe screws either side of the USB-C port, then heat each edge to soften the adhesive before you open it
• Slide the pick fully under the plastic bezel, not into the seam between the bezel and the panel, and no deeper than 3mm. Open the bottom, right and top edges first, stopping just past the top-left corner and just before the volume up button - the screen and ambient light sensor cables are on the left. The screen swings open over the left edge like a book
• Always unplug the battery before you remove any other parts. Keep metal tools away from the battery, and never bend, crush or puncture it.
• Remove the two connector covers (one 1.2mm screw each), then disconnect the battery first, before the screen and front sensor connectors. When reassembling, tuck each cover under its lip before fitting the screw
• The front sensors are not fitted to the new screen, so transfer them from your old screen - the earpiece speaker and Face ID camera stay in the phone. Remove the bracket (two 1.0mm Y000 screws), warm the area, pry on the tab under the sensors with a spudger or opening card (not on the sensors themselves - the cable rips easily), press the ambient light sensor and microphone into their recesses on the new screen and re-stick the cable with Tesa tape
• Test touch, display, ProMotion, proximity (screen turns off during a call), auto-brightness and Face ID before sealing the phone, and don't peel off the protective film or any stickers until it's all working
• Clean off all the old adhesive with isopropyl alcohol, taking care not to bend the grounding clips, and fit the new screen adhesive supplied in the box. Lower the screen in top edge first, check no clips are bent, then press and warm the edges
• This screen supports IC transfer - a micro-soldering specialist can move the display IC from your old screen onto this one.
• Once the repair is finished, turn True Tone on in Settings > Display & Brightness and check auto-brightness is working (iOS 18 or later)
