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
• Always track your screws to avoid putting back in the wrong place and damaging your device. This repair uses pentalobe, tri-point, Phillips and standoff screws of many different lengths. You can draw a picture of your phone and tape the screws to the right places or use a screw mat
• Remove the two pentalobe screws beside the Lightning port, warm the bottom edge and lift the screen from the front with a suction cup. Slide picks under the plastic bezel, no more than 3mm deep (2mm on the left edge, where the display cables run). The screen opens like a book from the right side
• Make sure you always unplug the battery before attempting any component removal. On the iPhone 12 Mini the battery and display connectors sit under a small cover held by a Y000 screw: disconnect the battery first, then the display and front sensor cables, before removing the screen
• To reach the charging port, remove the loudspeaker, rear camera and Taptic Engine (held in part by a standoff screw), then lift out the logic board. Lift the board gently and don't bend it or force tools under it
• The port flex is stuck to the bottom of the frame. Warm it gently and ease it up with a plastic tool, taking care around the microphone opening
• 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 up within the pencil lines
• Before closing the phone, reconnect the battery and screen and test charging, a computer connection and the bottom microphone (record a voice memo)
• Opening your iPhone 12 Mini breaks its factory water-resistance seal. Clean off the old screen adhesive with isopropyl alcohol and fit new screen adhesive when you reassemble it.
