• Drain the battery below 25% before you start on this repair
• Always power down your device prior to working on it
• Take out the two P2 pentalobe screws next to the Lightning port. The screen is held by adhesive, so warm the bottom edge with the iOpener, lift it with the suction cup and slide a pick no more than 3mm in, staying away from the right-hand edge where the display cables run.
• Track your screws (Phillips #000, and Y000 on the home button bracket) on a magnetic mat and keep each set separate. Screws put back in the wrong hole can damage the logic board
• Always unplug the battery before you remove any other parts. Keep metal tools away from the battery, and never bend, crush or puncture it.
• Take the home button, front camera and sensor cable, earpiece speaker and LCD shield plate off the cracked screen with the spudger and tweezers. They go back onto the same screen once the new glass is on. Only your phone's own home button works with Touch ID.
• Heat the screen on a glass separator machine and pull cutting wire (molybdenum wire) between the cracked glass and the LCD to separate them. Then clear the old OCA with OCA/glue remover and wipe the LCD with LCD cleaner. If the polariser on the LCD is damaged, fit a new polariser first.
• Line the LCD up with the new glass in a laminating mould and bond them in an OCA laminator (vacuum laminating machine), then put the screen through an autoclave (bubble remover) so no air is left under the glass.
• Refit the parts and test the display, touch, home button, front camera and the proximity sensor (during a call) before you close the phone, and leave the protective film and stickers on until the screen is working properly.
• Clean off the old adhesive with isopropyl alcohol and fit a new screen gasket adhesive when you close the phone. This phone is water resistant from the factory, but water resistance cannot be guaranteed once the phone has been opened.
