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, and take the SIM tray out before you start
• Always track your screws to avoid putting back in the wrong place and damaging your device. There are two 3.4mm P2 pentalobe screws either side of the Lightning port, then many Phillips screws of different lengths inside. You can draw a picture of your phone and tape the screws to the right places or use a screw mat
• Warm the bottom edge of the screen and lift it with a suction cup just above the home button. Start prying at the notch above the headphone jack and work up both sides. The top clips act as a hinge: don't open the screen more than 90 degrees or the display cables can tear
• Make sure you always unplug the battery before attempting any component removal. On the iPhone 6s Plus the battery stays in the phone: remove the battery connector bracket (two Phillips screws) and lift the battery connector straight up
• On the iPhone 6s Plus the logic board stays in, but the screen comes off. Remove the display cable bracket and disconnect the front camera and sensor, display and home button cables, then lift the screen away
• To reach the port, disconnect the Lightning cable and the antenna cable from the bottom of the logic board, remove the Lightning connector bracket, then the Taptic Engine (unplug it from the port flex first) and the loudspeaker. If the bracket is bent or missing, we sell the iPhone 6s Plus Charging Port Bracket
• The port is held by several Phillips screws. Ease the headphone jack and the two microphones free with the tip of a spudger and peel the flex off the case. Move the antenna signal cable and the headphone jack gasket across to the new port (a new signal cable is available if yours is damaged), and clean off old adhesive with isopropyl alcohol
• The connector to the logic board can be tricky to align correctly so it fits into place. We recommend taking a pencil and tracing the original charging port so you know exactly where it gets positioned and lining the new charger port within the pencil lines
• Before closing the phone, test that it charges, connects to a computer, plays through wired headphones, vibrates, has mobile signal and that the microphones work (record a voice memo)
• Clean the old screen adhesive off the frame and fit new screen adhesive when you close it up
