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, Phillips and standoff screws inside (the port itself is held by two 3.3mm Phillips screws). Draw a picture of your phone and tape the screws to the right places or use a screw mat
• On the iPhone 16 Pro Max this repair is done from the back glass, not the screen, and the logic board stays in. Remove the two pentalobe screws, warm the edges of the back glass and lift it with a suction cup. Keep picks no more than 3mm deep 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 connector sits under a small cover: disconnect it first, then the back glass cable under the second cover, and reconnect the battery last
• To reach the port, unplug the lower cable from the logic board, warm it and peel it off the Taptic Engine, then remove the Taptic Engine, the loudspeaker and the bottom microphone. Don't pry against or press on the battery
• The port sits in an adhesive gasket behind two black prongs. Before fitting the new one, check the prongs stand straight and the two grounding clips on the screw posts face the bottom of the phone
• To line the new port up with the hole in the frame, plug a USB-C cable (not connected to power) in from outside and press the port onto it, then fit the two screws
• Before closing the phone, test that it charges and connects to a computer, and record a voice memo to check the bottom microphone is seated
• Opening your iPhone 16 Pro Max 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
