honestly, I wish i'd found this channel years ago. Best videos for iphone screens fixed at home by miles. best advice for issues i'd had before is the Y00 Y000 issue... i had nightmares there as an amateur.5 stars all day
Thank you so much! I would have never thought to disconnect the battery, and my new screen works great. This was my first screen replacement, and it went off without a hitch! I got one of the cheaper screens off Amazon and though it looks fine, I think the colors may not be as rich or bright as OEM. I'm just happy the project only cost me
Very much appreciate the excellent video - thank you. Can you please add the words "Important: Disconnect battery before this next step" just before reconnecting the screen? I guess I was lucky and my screen was ok even though I didn't disconnect the battery, but explaining how important it was to disconnect the battery after you reconnected the screen was too late for me. Other than that, it was excellent - thank you!
Thanks for providing this detailed replacement guide. Some of the guides on the internets gloss over some of the more critical replacement steps and the need for care to prevent damage to fragile connection cables.
Thanks very much, followed it step by step while i did the job! its perfect :-) great tips you give as it helped me avoid damage! i appreciate your vid!
Great video, thank you. When I did my repair, when I was securing the replacement I noticed 2 small white dots on the screen. I opened the phone back up and noticed that the little rectangular shaped box that sits just below the battery shield wasn't quite flush into the gap and so was forcing pressure from the back of the screen, causing it to light up in places. Just shifted this down gently so it would fall into the gap that's there and worked a treat
The box your referring to was possibly a flex cable shield. But it could be the flex cable itself not being pressed in entirely. What I've learned is best to make them connect I use a a wider spudger atop the male end whilst perfectly aligned evenly and level with the female end. Why is because it can totally fit in there wrong, like 50percent of the male end overhanging, and if pressed it confidentaly but incorrectly and sometimes only just unevenly it'll bend the male leads backing which will destroy the leads of the flex cable forever best case scenario a pretty serious glitch. This is particularly important information for someone's who's removed there cables often, or was replacing a part not hardwired by flex cable, and you could end up with a phone that's now got a new problem atop the part or issue you just handled.
Your videos help a lot since I tend to fix my friends and family's devices a lot. Had to recently replace my mother-in-law's iPad Pro screen but there weren't any videos about it so it was a little stressful. Luckily it turned out good since the replacement screen was so expensive, lol. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos.
Thank you for the video! Helped me with replacing the screen on my phone in no time. The instructions are great and to be fair that is all you really need!
Nice in depth video. Why would I need to remove all those components if I just want to replace the screen? Couldn't I just disconnect the screen and install the replacement?
Really helpful video. I prefer when the camera looks down from rite above what your working on. Just get a better view that way but i understand that can be awkward aswel so faur enuf Thanks
This is the best shot, most thorough video on the net for replacing the iphone screen!.. Thanks for sharing. Only thing for me was my kit didnt come with a new gasket. Ohh well.. everything worked great over here thanks!
These screws are so easy to ‘round’ a plastic bag saved me I placed it over the screw and the bag seemed to fill in the gap I hope it works for you as I didn’t have a balloon like I have read saved others
Thank you for posting this video sir. I played/paused it the whole time replacing the screen on my iPhone 7. Very detailed and it helped a lot and saved me a bunch of $. Thank you again. I have subscribed to your channel.
Great video Thank you, I would just like to add not much look with the gasket , Here is what happens when a gasket is not placed on well,When your phone gets warm you could find the top half of the phone in the middle could lift slightly , I use a method`Where once the gasket and touch screen has been fitted and the bottom screws are replaced,I then warm the phone up with hair dryer then place heavy books on top and leave for 30 minutes,this seems to give an overall good even pressure to the adhesive .Never had issue with my phones lifting slightly later on, But nice camera work you showed great close ups where needed,
Thanks for warning me before tightening the screw. Realise some viewerd may follow on as you do yours hence cautioning prior would help. Have now ripped the ribbon from tightening the home button lost touch id and fingerprint; thanks.
Excellent in depth and clearly presented. I researched many videos on this and definitely the best out there. I would suggest though re the ear piece/proximity cable: brighter picture needed. Thank you very much!
i replaced my cracked screen and when i turned it on the apple screen would load for a long time. i tried turning it off but it just kept trying to reload. so i waited and it finally turned off. thinking that it was the camera cable. i checked it and it wasnt connected properly. so i disconnected power and connected camera cable and tried over again but now the screen wont come on. i put the old screen back on but it wont work either.... another to add is my screen has been broken for awhile and i used the front camera today but in the later part of the day it stopped so i decided to go ahead and change the screen since i had time....
Successful repair, thank you! I also want to learn that cool screw trick where you position it with the side of your hand that's actually holding the part in place. :)
Done! Thanks. The guide is great!!! Issues I had included a couple of damaged screw heads that I had to loosen up with a sharp tool. Worked, but was tight to get really stuck!
I got an iphone 7 model number a1660. Icloud unlocked but apparently this model number has a recall. Talked to apple customer support to see if phone was still covered under recall. Turns out I still have a year to get this phone in. My problem is that the screen is cracked and they are going to try and charge me $150. From doing a little research it seems they will notice if you have a "3rd party screen" on your iphone if i tried replacing it myself. Do you think i can get away with installing an actual replacement screen from an identical model that isn't cracked? Thanks :)
Things you will need new screen, good tools. things you won't need sausage fingers and crap eyesight. Struggled with this but eventually done it thanks to your help.
great guide! btw a question have you ever encounter a bright spot under LCD were the bottom flex cables goes. where u put the metal place and the 4 tri screws. i read alot of ppl had encounter that. but how is ur experience with it. any solutions?
Hello, I appreciate this video, thank you! My iPhone 7 has a cracked screen, I plan on getting a DIY kit, but I'm wondering if I should get with LCD or just the glass. What do you recommend?
I would reccomend an entire new screen as taking just the glass off can be a lot of work and you may end up damaging the lcd whilst removing the old glass, I've done that before on an iPad, they are different products, but removing just the glass is pretty much the same thing. I hope this helps
This is my first time using any heating element on a cell phone. Besides burning, is there anything that I should be aware of? Could I possibly warp the ribbon cable if I keep the blow dryer in the same spot too long? Is it okay use the blow dryer directly on the cables or should I warm it from the outside of the phone? Thanks
I've got these weird blue vertical lines on my display after I've installed the screen... they fade in after a few seconds, and do NOT go away... did I do something wrong? did I get a defective screen?
The Wedge best having a quick test of the display before going to the trouble of fitting it fully. Could have been damaged during postage or could have been damaged during the install. Maybe remove the screen again and check all the connections and cables for damage?
When you're closing the phone back up again, don't slot the plastic clips at the top in and then move to the bottom of the phone and start clipping in from the bottom. If you do you'll break the screen at the top where the speaker is. Instead, clip it in at the top then gently work it down from the top until you reach the bottom.
Hi I tried to replace the screen but connected the lcd screen wire without taking out the battery cable . Now i cant open it. What is broken is it lcd screen,the mobile or the battery????
It seems impossible to unscrew the tri-point and phillips screws inside the phone. I'm using the tool kit that comes with the replacement screen bought over Ebay. do i need to buy a proper screwdrivers?
I'm running into the same problem right now. I got a cheap kit that seemed to have good reviews, but the tri screwdriver was all jacked up. I was able to get out a few of them, but the others won't come. I just bought a real driver kit on Amazon and paid for one day shipping out of desperation.
when i tried to refit the screen connetor cover plate it would not fit !! the camera above prevents it moving up enough, it was in the correct position so that is a mystery
I changed my iphone 7 screen for a new one because the screen freaked out. I followed the video step by step and now the corners of the screen dosent respond when I touch it only the middle part of the screen responds . HELP!!!!!!!!!!
I replaced my iPhone 7 Plus screen with a iPhone 8 Plus NEW screen. After completing it, the screen powers on, but when the apple logo appears with the white background it will reboot and repeat. It seems as if it can not pass that point of booting up. When I connect the iPhone to Windows computer for itunes. And it shows "Connect to Itunes" it will stay on that and not reboot. It reboots ONLY when it gets to the apple logo with white background. I tried updating it via ITUNES and whole process goes smoothly. But when it gets to that same apple logo with white background while showing progress bar below logo it will reboot after a few seconds than update/restore fails and iphone goes back to "Connect to itunes". Can anyone help PLZ??? I'm not a newbie to repairing but 1st time this has happened
Got all the way to the point of pushing the screen back into place but whenever i push the bottom and right side in, the lcd slowly goes out and then it just says black until i pull that corner out again.
Thank you very much: because of the quality of your instructions, i was able to do it all. Not as fast as you though...;)

Great tear down 👌 I particularly like how you show reassembly. Thanks for posting these!
iPhone 7: All went well. Thanks for the thorough instructions! Watching your hand work was amazing. (Do you play guitar?)

This video was so helpful. I prob won't need it again, but I'm subscribing anyways!
Thanks for warning me before tightening the screw. Realise some viewerd may follow on as you do yours hence cautioning prior would help. Have now ripped the ribbon from tightening the home button lost touch id and fingerprint; thanks.
Excellent in depth and clearly presented. I researched many videos on this and definitely the best out there. I would suggest though re the ear piece/proximity cable: brighter picture needed. Thank you very much!
thanks my friend, this is very helpful, keep sharing your knowledge, you are support for many people
Great video!

Just used your guide to replace my cracked screen. Thank you!
SUPERB explanation, well done wow
Excellent video the only departure was I had different size screws for the logic board retainer and the camera retainer.
Thanks. Easiest tutorial on youtube to follow🖒. Only problem is the home button not working so I have to use the digital one.
Very good explanation of what to do !👍
Successful repair, thank you! I also want to learn that cool screw trick where you position it with the side of your hand that's actually holding the part in place. :)
Done! Thanks. The guide is great!!!
Issues I had included a couple of damaged screw heads that I had to loosen up with a sharp tool. Worked, but was tight to get really stuck!
How did you do it
What do you mean? :-) I followed the film, it’s a little under pressure work and takes really time like three-four hours. But take your time.
I like this vid because it is so much things that you do a great job
Congrats, well explained... I took 3 hours but your video helped a lot!.

Things you will need
new screen, good tools.
things you won't need sausage fingers and crap eyesight. Struggled with this but eventually done it thanks to your help.
Excellent video. Only thing I would add is you could use more heat gun for adhered parts.
Does the fingerprint and home button work after changing the display?
great guide! btw a question have you ever encounter a bright spot under LCD were the bottom flex cables goes. where u put the metal place and the 4 tri screws. i read alot of ppl had encounter that. but how is ur experience with it. any solutions?
Hello, I appreciate this video, thank you!

I’m having an issue with my home button after replacing the screen it doesn’t work to close apps but works with Touch ID.
Sir, you just saved me £80 thank you!
Is it possible to change out the home button on iPhone 7? Or is it only a Apple thing to do?
my friend thank you very much Im from Costa Rica, this video helps me alot, thank you
thank you very much
Can I forego the gasket? I don't care if its water resistant but will the screen still stick to the phone?
This is my first time using any heating element on a cell phone. Besides burning, is there anything that I should be aware of? Could I possibly warp the ribbon cable if I keep the blow dryer in the same spot too long? Is it okay use the blow dryer directly on the cables or should I warm it from the outside of the phone? Thanks
Awesome guide! Very helpful! Thank you!
I saw that home button screw is shorter than the other three screws. Is it true?
Very detailed disassembly, thank you 👍
the ear peice cable was a living hell but I got it after 40 minutes
Does the repairing kit includes the screen gasket?
Very informative helped me thank you

hi~ Great video thank you, quick question
what if we dont have that "gasket" sticker thing in the end when wanting to put the new screen back on?
Your phone will no longer be water proof.
Thank you. I don't always fix iPhone 7 devices so the home button always fools with my mind. Good video.
When you're closing the phone back up again, don't slot the plastic clips at the top in and then move to the bottom of the phone and start clipping in from the bottom. If you do you'll break the screen at the top where the speaker is. Instead, clip it in at the top then gently work it down from the top until you reach the bottom.
Thank you so much
OMG thanks so muchhh your truly a lifesaver!!
which is the best way to dig out the ambient light filter and transfer it to the new phone?
Hi
I tried to replace the screen but connected the lcd screen wire without taking out the battery cable . Now i cant open it.
What is broken is it lcd screen,the mobile or the battery????
It seems impossible to unscrew the tri-point and phillips screws inside the phone. I'm using the tool kit that comes with the replacement screen bought over Ebay. do i need to buy a proper screwdrivers?
I'm running into the same problem right now. I got a cheap kit that seemed to have good reviews, but the tri screwdriver was all jacked up. I was able to get out a few of them, but the others won't come. I just bought a real driver kit on Amazon and paid for one day shipping out of desperation.
Did it work tho
Thank you very much indeed . I can change it and that is working
i wish this video would help except the fact that adding tape simply will not work for me to suction my screen off is there another thing i could do?
when i tried to refit the screen connetor cover plate it would not fit !! the camera above prevents it moving up enough, it was in the correct position so that is a mystery
Very helpful video. Thank you 😊
Perfect walk through, worked perfectly. I can't thank you enough!
I changed my iphone 7 screen for a new one because the screen freaked out. I followed the video step by step and now the corners of the screen dosent respond when I touch it only the middle part of the screen responds . HELP!!!!!!!!!!

hey after changing the display are we able to use 3d touch on it plz let me no
Really good video , where did you buy your screen ,?
Hi when opening iphone 7 I accidentally ripped the bands on the left
Does it matter since the new screen has new bands?
I replaced my iPhone 7 Plus screen with a iPhone 8 Plus NEW screen. After completing it, the screen powers on, but when the apple logo appears with the white background it will reboot and repeat.
It seems as if it can not pass that point of booting up. When I connect the iPhone to Windows computer for itunes. And it shows "Connect to Itunes" it will stay on that and not reboot. It reboots ONLY when it gets to the apple logo with white background. I tried updating it via ITUNES and whole process goes smoothly.
