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, they are many different lengths: two 6.8mm P2 pentalobe screws at the bottom edge, then small Phillips, Y000 and standoff screws inside. 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 edges of the screen and lift it from the bottom edge with a suction cup. Slide an opening pick under the plastic bezel, no more than 3mm deep, and cut the adhesive around the edges. Open the screen like a book and don't strain the display cables
• Make sure you always unplug the battery before attempting any component removal. On the iPhone 13 disconnect the battery first, then the display and front sensor cables, and reconnect the battery last
• The charging port sits under the logic board. The loudspeaker, Taptic Engine, SIM reader and logic board all come out to reach it, so unplug every connector on the logic board before lifting it out
• 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 and that the microphone works (record a voice memo)
• Opening your iPhone 13 breaks its factory water-resistance seal. Clean off the old adhesive with isopropyl alcohol and fit a new screen adhesive seal when you reassemble it
