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 7.4mm P2 pentalobe screws beside the USB-C port, then Y000 tri-point and Phillips screws inside. The microphone itself is held by three screws of different lengths (a 3.6mm standoff, a 2.9mm standoff and a 1.3mm Y000), so refit each one in the hole it came from. Draw a picture of your phone and tape the screws to the right places or use a screw mat
• On the iPhone 16 Pro this repair is done from the back glass, not the screen. Remove the two pentalobe screws, warm the edges of the back glass and lift it with a suction cup. Keep picks no more than 5mm deep at the bottom and 3mm at the top, and don't slide a pick in next to the volume up button, where a delicate cable runs
• Make sure you always unplug the battery before attempting any component removal. The battery and back glass connectors sit under small screw-on covers: disconnect the battery first and reconnect it last. The battery itself stays in
• To reach the microphone, remove the Taptic Engine cover, unplug the lower cable and move it aside, then take out the Taptic Engine
• Once the microphone's three screws are out, lift it with a spudger without prying against the battery, and pull it towards the top of the phone to free it
• Before closing the phone, power it on, record a voice memo and make a test call to check the new microphone works
• Opening your iPhone 16 Pro breaks its factory water-resistance seal. Clean off the old adhesive with isopropyl alcohol and fit new back glass adhesive when you close it up
