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 different lengths: two 3.5mm P2 pentalobe screws at the bottom (3.4mm on the SE 2022), four Phillips on the display cable bracket (two 1.2-1.3mm and two 2.8mm), three 1.2-1.3mm Phillips on the front sensor bracket and four Y000 on the home button bracket. Use a screw mat to keep them in place
• Remove the two pentalobe screws beside the Lightning port, warm the bottom edge and lift the screen with a suction cup just above the home button. Slide picks in no more than 3mm deep, stay out of the right edge (where the display cables run) and don't pry the top edge, which has fragile clips. Lift no more than 15 degrees, slide the screen slightly down to free the clips, then open it like a book from the left side, hinged on the right
• Make sure you always unplug the battery before attempting any component removal. Remove the display cable bracket, disconnect the battery first, then the two display cables and the front sensor cable
• Be careful when transferring your home button from your old screen. Remove the Y000 bracket screws (the shortest screw first, and don't overtighten them on reassembly), warm the bottom edge and use a spudger to gently pry underneath the flex cable to loosen the glue. Touch ID only works with your phone's own home button - if it breaks, you will lose Touch ID and home button features
• iPhone 8 and SE 2020: the metal back plate (LCD shield plate) is already fitted to the new screen, so leave it on. iPhone SE 2022: move your own shield plate across from your old screen. It is held on by small screws only (no adhesive), so undo the screws and lift it straight off. Without the swap the screen won't click in properly
• Carefully transfer the front camera, proximity sensor and earpiece speaker assembly from your old screen, as they are not included with the new screen. Warm the top edge and use a spudger to gently lift the thin flex cable - if it tears, the front camera, earpiece and proximity sensor won't work
• When fitting the new screen, hook the clips along the top edge in first, then press the rest of the screen down
• Test touch, display, home button and Touch ID, front camera, earpiece and proximity before sealing the phone, and don't peel off the protective film or any stickers until it's all working
• Opening your iPhone breaks its factory water-resistance seal. Clean off the old adhesive with isopropyl alcohol and fit the new screen gasket adhesive included in the box when you reassemble it.
• Once the repair is finished, turn True Tone on in Settings > Display & Brightness (iPhone SE 2020 and SE 2022 with iOS 18 or later). The iPhone 8 can't run iOS 18, so it needs a True Tone transfer machine to keep True Tone
