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. There are two P2 pentalobe screws beside the Lightning port, then Phillips screws of many lengths inside. You can draw a picture of your phone and tape the screws to the right places or use a screw mat
• Lift the screen with a suction cup placed above the home button and free the bottom edge with a plastic opening pick. The screen swings up from the home button end, hinged at the top edge
• Make sure you always unplug the battery before attempting any component removal. Remove the battery connector cover (two Phillips screws) and lift the connector straight up with a plastic spudger
• Remove the front panel cable cover, disconnect the four screen cables and lift the screen off
• Disconnect the Lightning connector cable and the antenna cable, then remove the vibrator and the loudspeaker to reach the bracket
• The Lightning connector bracket is held by two Phillips screws over the Lightning port. When fitting the bracket, make sure the Lightning connector, headphone jack and microphone sit flush against the frame first, then fit the bracket so it sits flat and refit both screws
• Before closing the phone, plug in a cable to check the port sits firm and charges, and test the microphone and headphone jack
• The iPhone 6 Plus has no water-resistance seal, so no screen adhesive is needed. When closing, hook the top edge of the screen in first, then press the rest of the screen down until it clicks into place
