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 3.6mm P2 pentalobe screws beside the Lightning port, then Phillips screws of many lengths inside. The front panel cable bracket screws (1.2mm, 1.7mm and 3.1mm) must go back in their own holes or they can damage the logic board. 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 an opening tool. Swing the home button end up, hinged at the top edge, and support the screen at about 90 degrees
• Make sure you always unplug the battery before attempting any component removal. On the iPhone 6 the battery stays in the phone: remove the battery connector bracket (two Phillips screws) and lift the connector straight up, without prying against the logic board
• Remove the front panel cable bracket, disconnect the four screen cables and lift the screen off. The logic board stays in the phone for this repair
• Disconnect the Lightning connector cable and the antenna cable, then remove the loudspeaker (four Phillips screws) and the vibrator (two Phillips screws) to reach the bracket
• The Lightning connector bracket is held by two 3.1mm Phillips screws over the Lightning port. When replacing the port, transfer the headphone jack gasket, microphone brace and antenna cable clip from the old part if the new one does not have them, then fit the bracket so it sits flat over the port 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 has no water-resistance seal, so no screen adhesive is needed. When closing, hook the clips along the top edge of the screen in first, then press the rest of the screen down
