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 on a screw mat or tape them to a drawing of your phone. The connector bracket has five Y000 tri-point screws (three 1.1mm, one 3.1mm, one 3.7mm) - a long screw in a short hole can damage the logic board
• Remove the two 6.9mm pentalobe screws beside the Lightning port, then heat the bottom edge to soften the adhesive. If the glass is cracked, cover it with tape first so the suction cup can grip
• Slide picks under the plastic bezel (not between bezel and display), no deeper than 3mm and never along the right-hand edge (display cables) - the screen opens from the left like a book. Pull it towards the Lightning port to release the top clips before slicing the top corners
• Always unplug the battery before you remove any other parts. Keep metal tools away from the battery, and never bend, crush or puncture it.
• Disconnect the battery first, then the front sensor, OLED and digitiser cables. The digitiser connector is recessed - if touch does not respond after fitting, unplug the battery and reseat it
• Transfer the earpiece and sensor assembly: remove its three Y000 screws, warm the top edge, lift it with a spudger or opening card (a broken cable loses Face ID). Refit the diffuser first and the grounding clip (under the 1.2mm screw) the right way round, keeping adhesive off the sensors
• Test touch, display, earpiece, proximity (screen turns off during a call) and Face ID before sealing the phone, and don't peel off the protective film or any stickers until it's all working
• Clean off all the old adhesive with isopropyl alcohol and fit the new screen adhesive supplied in the box to keep dust and moisture out. Seat the top edge clips first when closing the phone
• True Tone is lost when you replace the screen and on the iPhone X won't come back on its own. Use a True Tone programmer to read the data from the old screen and write it to the new one - keep the old screen until this is done
