@William Harris did it yesterday and works better with the same screen. I had ghost touching and solved by cleaning the connector and now works fine (the old screen)
My 13 year old daughter was able to do this by watching the video. She dropped her phone on Thursday, which completely shattered the glass screen (LCD was OK), and was distraught because she paid for the phone by cutting the lawn for two years. By Saturday she received her new screen (about $95 all inclusive). She asked me to help her, but quite frankly all I did was watch and give her helpful tips. She did 100% of the work following this video, which was very clear (the clarity and good lighting of the video really helps see everything). We used 2" wide clear packing tape to make little "bins" or "sticky tables", each piece of tape representing a step in the process. Roll the tape back on itself and stick it to the table, then place all the screws and parts in the same geometric arrangement as in the phone so putting it back together was a breeze. The video is excellent and very descriptive, but one of the steps I would have skipped, but not my daughter, was to test the screen once it was plugged in and before the phone was closed up. Great suggestion, as we had vertical lines showing up across the screen and were momentarily disappointed, but we went back and reattached the screen cables one more time and Viola!! it worked and now the screen was as beautiful as if it were new. Certainly a little tricky at times, and if you don't have patience to watch and pause the video and double check everything, then you might be one of the people that thinks it's worth to pay an extra $50 + tax for someone else to do it at one of the phone fix-it places. For me, I think it's better to do yourself not just for the savings, but to make sure it's done right.....I'm sure those phone fix-it places lose a screw here and there and wouldn't care about your $650 investment as much as you do. One note I would stress, although most of the kits for sale come with the mini screw drivers, is to have a couple of decent small tools near by, like a good set of modeling tweezers and a wide x-acto type blade, and a magnifying glass or lupe Thanks for the helpful video, so good that a small 13 year old can do it!
Congrats to you and your kid. My 19 yr old kid also replaced her own screen using this video. She has better eye vision than mine anyways on those tiny screws. I am very proud of the kid and she must be proud of herself. We need to do more DIY and teach our kids to same to be more sufficient.
People who repair their iPhone instead of replacing it… are good people. Thank you, Zack. Very clear and excellent instruction. Phone is working very well again.
My phone is not even broken, i was just trying to find tutorials for one of my friend and i ended up watching the whole thing because your voice is so comforting.
Who's still watching this in 2019, I just fixed my younger brother's iPhone 7 with this tutorial. Thanks for leaving this out here for the world. Cheers mate.
Gonzo Chillzo I did this and when I’m done with everything I try to click the phone is place to put the phone down but it won’t go down all the way idk what to do
Cheers mate! My mum just came up for an ester visit, she said her phone screen was damaged and kept cutting her hands I said I could probably do it (I repair DJI Drones for a living) but I didn't want to get stuck into It if it needed a lot of adhesive removal or anything complicated like the more modern phones. One watch of this and I knew I could handle it! Got the parts sorted for when she came up, 30mins later it was repaired and working like a dream. Laz
I'm really impressed that my replacement screen repair kit came with a magnetic screw mat that has a photo of the opened iPhone and highlights where each screw goes. Super handy. Also had a QR code that linked to this video lol
It worked. Thank You! Took me like 3/4 hours...but I'm sure it varies per person. I had issues with some screws being too long so i switched them with shorter ones. Also Don't forget to instal earpiece(you may need to review beginning of video). Also had issue with connectors. once again, review beginning of video so they can lay flat
This is a nearly perfect guide. It is clear, concise, and the voice instructions match the images well. Disconnecting the battery may be well worth two minutes to potentially prevent a short, which may destroy the phone. The battery connector is under a two screw panel on the right about halfway down. The slightly raised side of the panel goes on the left with its longer screw. Also, consider getting a static wrist band for $5. KEEP YOUR SCREWS VERY WELL ORGANIZED. Use a large, well-lit work surface, and sort them with an ice cube tray. Almost every singe one is different; any in the wrong hole can destroy the phone. Some parts you should use tweezers or a tiny flat spatula to remove or position, but some I found easier to just use my finger, working carefully by feel. As the video says, be particularly careful with the home button and its connector. Examine the one you're taking out closely before and as you remove it, so you know where each bit goes. It's straight-forward, but the parts are tiny, so be patient. My own replacement screen had a few stuck-on strips of plastic that needed removing. It also came with the little plastic holders at the top whereas the example in this video did not. Be prepared to spend 1-2 hours in total if you're not electronically experienced, which I certainly was not last week. Having done it, I don't think it's nearly as difficult as I imagined it would be at first.
Abe Olsen at last someone with sense... battery is definitely an important step.. i found that out the hard and expensive way becoz i didnt remove it 🤦♀️
Yes! Remove that battery. Im an amateur at replacing phone screens even while having the proper tools but can you answer these two questions for me. I have a static wrist band but whats it used for? Also, when connecting the LCD and Digitizer, do you connect those first and then the battery? Or battery then the LCD Digitizer.
Finally somebody who knows how to show and explain things!!! Thank you for: NO hands covering what you are doing, NOT filming the steps from the wrong angle and 30 feet away, NOT playing obnoxious music in the background
2 hours later my repair is done. Here are my tips to those about to embark on this lovely repair: 1: Patience is key. I threw my screwdriver across the room a few times. 2: DO NOT DROP THE SCREWS. I relaxed myself by digging around in the carpet looking for these microscopic things. 3: Buy a decent kit. My phillips screwdriver was not very good. 4: Get used to his voice. You will be doing alot of pausing and rewinding. Hope this helps! Btw, does anyone know what it means if I have a little bit of discoloration at the top of my screen and also when I push my fingers down hard on the screen, it turns purple and then fades away. Is this a problem with the installation or the screen? Thanks for any replies.
Seeing discoloration when pressing on it is normal. You'll see this on all other lcd type screens if you accidentally press them. It's just the pixels slightly changing under the pressure. Don't make it a habit of it, it could cause damage
I stick some blue tape sticky side up on a white sheet of paper and some small magnet pad, to hold my screws but still lost one. I had to redo and switch LCD back to an old one, due to home button not working. Now I have ordered a new back plate with flex cable, and will probably try to put a new screen back (thought it was bad earlier). Got pretty proficient with the process now after a few trials as this is my 2nd iphone 6 screen replacement. Ear piece and camera step is the hardest imo. I also had to go out and bought a new screw driver kit from Walmart to replace the poor quality kit that came with a new LCD from ebay. My kid tried to do part of it and she was not happy after the home button stop working. We will try to get it right this time this weekend. Don't try this at night b/c you might go to bad pretty late :)
Some tips from me. I've made it and everything is working. I've replaced screen, charging port(jack, microphone, charging port) and ear speaker. 1. Don't mix your screws, especially from metal plate which covers tape from LCD. You will destroy motherboard. 2. Pentalob opens only two screws outside. 3. Look at the sequence of tapes. Biggest, smallest, medium 4. Don't touch left and right side of the screen, you can broke glass inside. 5. Gently with home button. 6. Don"t pull off the micro from bracket. Look at the microphone, it's so small.
hey.....if u ordered the screen from the site in the description....plz tell me if we can change the brightness of the display.....someone told me we cant..
wish i read this before. The phone turn on and worked. But when i put the panel over the lcd cables back on i think i mixed screws up. Won't even turn on now with the old screen.
Thank you very much for this super educative video. i have just replaced my iPhone 6 screen. it took me approx 2 hours. but constantly pausing and rerunning you video to do each step correctly has helped. My iPhone is as good as brand new now. its seems that while replacing the screen all the Lego type connectors also got properly fixed and even the out put / input sound quality has improved. PERFECT TUTORIAL. 100% MARKS. 5 STARS
Embarked on this repair carefully, disconnected the battery first thanks to other people's comments. Everything was going well until I got to the earpiece which, for the life of me, I couldn't remove, felt like it was glued in... So, had to dash to the repair shop, phone in bits and all the screws neatly on the iPhone 6 magnetized mat I'd bought which was great. Got my phone fixed in under an hour for a great price, probably because I'd already bought the correct part and the phone was already taken apart pretty much! First and last time, I'll attempt an iPhone repair on my own. If you're intent upon fixing your phone yourself, I'd recommend having a good backup plan of where to get it fixed asap in case things don't go as planned... Appreciate the quality of the video very much and also watched the one on replacing iPhone 6 batteries to see how to disconnect mine first.
I do not have a heat gun so I used my oven. I set the oven to 160 degrees and after 10 mins the screen came off in 5 seconds with just my hands. Personally I think the oven is far easier and quicker. Btw great video and thanks for helping me out!
Perfect tutorial as is. No problem with battery. Took me 20 minutes. Hardest part was lining up the "lego" connectors; didn't want to press too hard. I put screws on a piece of tape and laid them in the same "shape" /orientation as the part they came from: upper right, lower left, center, etc. Thanks much for the video!
Great video!! The replacement screen I ordered had the camera and home button already in it, so I didn’t have to do as much disassembly. Time spent replacing screen was less than 10 minutes tops! Thanks again!
+JerryRigEverything just doing a second one now and the front facing camera and earpiece are not working! Do I need to replace he camera and microphone wiring?
Whoop Whoop!! I just followed you r video and replaced my broken screen. It totally worked!!! Thank you so much Jerry awesome!!!!!!! Thank you - i read all the comments before i started so I did disconnect the battery beforehand and I made sure to keep everything organised, to keep track of all the screws. And it worked!!! Thank you!!!!!!! Nicci 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Best thing about this video is you don't spend the first ten minutes telling us via video selfie what you are going to do, why, and how important it is. The tutorial is no longer than necessary -- 5 minutes is good. I was able to pause as needed and complete all work no issues. Thanks.
took me 20 minutes to repair my wifes phone. Just need to keep everything in order when taking out the screws, but then again I have a maintenance degree so that might have helped me out
Got an old iPhone 6 a while ago. Crap battey and shattered screen. Changed both today with this vid to guide me. First time opening a phone, so I'm stoked about the result! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much! I fixed my iPhone today and it works just fine. I only had to disconnect the battery, which you didn't say in this tutorial but besides that I'm happy and thankful.
Thanks for this great video. Any chance you know where to get the two tiny screws on the bottom by the charge port (with the star head)? I don't know what you were referring to them as, and I seem to be missing one!
Awesome video. Saved me 50 bucks. I didn’t take the battery out, just powered down like the video said. Everything works fine. It took me about 20 minutes. But I didn’t need to replace the camera part at the top. DO NOT MIX UP THE SCREWS. They are very specific. He says the connectors fit like legos. If legos were microscopic. :)
This was difficult, but thanks to this video and another, it worked. Firstly, other vids. recommend disconnecting the battery - two screws and pop off the connector. Getting the home button ribbon off was tricky - do use a heat gun to get the connector off (I used a hairdryer). I also got the ribbons in the wrong order when re-assembling and had to do 'video forensics' to work out which order the ribbons overlap each other. Take your time, get in the zone, chill and relax and NO DISTRACTIONS. Expect to take an hour or so. Be really careful with the screws. I used a magnetic mat that came with the replacement glass kit. And finally a magnetic tipped screwdriver makes life so much easier. Also be aware, there are 4 models of iPhone sixes: the iPhone 6, 6s, 6 plus and the 6s plus - all the screen replacement models/kits are slightly different - buy carefully!!
This video helped me replace my phone screen iPhone 6s successfully without a glitch. Thank you Jerry Appreciate your effort tearing down your good, working iPhone 6s for the demo!
They are showing up on ebay. Though the prices are um high. The ones i found so far are in the 800 usd range shiped from uk france etc. Do not buy from those suppliers they are taking advantage of the hype. The real sellers will sell them for just under or over $100. I would say your looking at 2 weeks or so till they are widely available.
Holger Kuester 8 hours has to be some kind of record... But ya, id say it will be about 2 weeks before the screens start hitting the market... Any screen you find now will be super expensive.
JerryRigEverything I dont know the 5 line for glass were out around 3 months before the phone lol Me and my one boss sold all the glass we bought for around 2 bucks a pop for 5 once the phone was out. We just did not see the point of doing glass only on the 5 line. The parts for lcd assembly were only around 40 on release. Making it non economical to do glass only. Why bother doing glass when you can swap the enitre thing for around 30 more and have a better repair than even if you used loca a separator ect all. You still have a non perfect replacement and when you figure in the cost of the loca per phone your looking at 10 to 12 for glass + loca and likely another buck or 2 for a new frame for the assembly. Honestl i always look to sell the customer on a full unit over a glass replacement on iphones.
Thanks so much! I was able to fix 3 old iphone screens in less than 2 hours thanks to this tutorial. My little brother and sister are going to be so happy. You the man!
Thanks mate, fixed my non-functioning touch screen in a few minutes......Turns out when I dropped it last the connectors had detached from the logic board and just needed to be clipped back on properly......Legendary video.
+Brianna Laurel I went and got mine replaced by one of them about a month ago and the screen popped back out like they somehow didn't tighten the screen around the edge enough. Now I want to be able to do this myself so I know it's done right lol
Just replaced the screen in an iphone 6, following this video. Only snag I hit was needing three hands to re-assemble all the gubbins around the earpiece/camera etc. Even managed to keep track of all the screws! Anyhow, all good and my wife is well pleased. Thank you.
I followed your video and my screen is black, I thought my phone might have been dead so i plugged it into the charger and it vibrated and everything, but still no screen. So I disassembled the screen and tried again and I got nothing. The box underneath the four connectors keeps getting hot. Did I ruin my phone or is there a way to fix it?
Ryan V this isn't the case for the iPhone 6, but for the iPhone 6s and onward, it can short-circuit the backlight. So bear that in mind if you ever do this
This took me 24 minutes, but it worked!!! You need to show a bit more detail (close ups) on putting the first ribbon into the new screen, but I figured it out.
This video was great EXCEPT you did forget the CRUCIAL step of disconnecting the battery. I foolishly did not look at the comments first and now my phone will not turn on. SMH...very sad. Lucky for you, you have that disclaimer on the bottom of you description...unlucky for me. Thanks
@@keeganwrathmall that was probably apple dicking you. They have some software where if you don't replace your screen at the apple store, the sensor wouldn't work. But due to the backlash they stopped it
I need more time. This guy is so good he acts like everyone has done it a thousand times and should be just as easy and quick. I am not quick and this is not as self explanatory as he seems to think. The ole “you can’t mess this up crap is WRONG. Easy to mess up. I did not disconnect my battery either saw an arc. If I get it back together I feel sure it will not work. Thanks a lot speedee iPhone man.. Okay,,,,,I am done and it works. I am in shock. Could not have done it without this video. However,,,when jerryrig is removing the ear pieces with the tweezers it changes view and messes me up. Seems like zooming in and slowing down would have helped. And the ribbon wires must be folded in the correct order to lay flat. Easy (for me) to get out of order and confused. Still,,, my phone works!! I have two extra screws if anyone was wondering.
This guy forgot the most important part. Disconnecting the battery. If you do not disconnect the battery while doing a screen repair, you risk blowing out your phones back light filter/back light circuit, which will be a costly repair, because your phone will then require micro-soldering. It is almost impossible to fix an iPhone in 5 minutes. This video skips though him removing and replacing the screws to make this a 5 minute video. The only way an iPhone can be fix in 5 minutes, is if you have a full screen assembly, requiring you to only have to swap over your Touch ID button to the new screen.
Vanessa Maree Your phone will require micro soldering to fix that issue. It's not a repair the average person, or even most shops do. My friends backlight on her phone randomly went out, and come to find out, my local parts supplier guy is actually co-owner of www.shortcirqit.com. They offer mail in/drop off services for the type of repair you need as well as a bunch of other services. I've always been one who's skeptical about about the work of others. After I checked out their website, it seems they really know what they are doing when I comes to repairs. This shop went above and beyond to make sure my friends phone was fixed when having the mentioned issue as well as the front camera not working.
Vanessa Maree You can also verify your phone has this issue by looking at the screen under the sun or bright light to see if you can see it. You can also plug the phone into a computer with iTunes and see if the phone is detected.
omgosh! i was going to use this tutorial to learn how to replace iPhone 6 screens but I've read that he didn't tell ppl to disconnect the battery. I'm new at this and any tutorial I learn from has to be exact if i'm going to repair others screens. so sad...
Worked great for me. Despite the part that removes and replaces the front camera and connectors, this tutorial is amazing and did the job for me (along with some other online resources). Thanks a lot, Jerry.
I just ordered a fully assembled LCD that already came with home button, ear piece, and front camera for $42 from ebay, and it only took me about 10 minutes or less to swap out the screen. No need to transfer those components to a new LCD thus save a lot of time and hassle. However finger print scanner might not work (if you use it) unless you transfer the old one over.
@@leahkohman3881 there is a bracket near the battery (black with apple logo on it) it has two screws take them out minding that they are a diferent length and not to get them mixed up. and then pop up the battery connector!
After several taxing hours due to the small screws I was able to install and have the phone operate however the home button does not work. I've removed it and reseated it again with no luck. Not good.
Well thanks for the input. I fumble due to a couple injured fingers. I will look to purchase another home button as the finger print sensor I can give a rip about. peace
THANK YOU, JERRY!!!!! This video saved my phone (and saved me money) last year during the "plandemic enclosed time" when it broke. I´m not good at electronics, yet, I was amazed I was able to fix it!!
I'm pretty sure that only when the home button is replaced by Apple themselves you can regain touchID because they know how to change the paired scanners to the logic board
I took my phone to a repair booth in a mall and it took much longer to get the same thing done on the same model 🤦♂️ and it also cost a decent amount of money
This looks really easy, and it is. He does a very good job explaining how to do it. I finished mine and it worked for a few seconds while testing it before closing it up. So I closed it up tried it again, and nothing. I opened it up again and repeated everything just in case something came loose. Closed it up and still nothing. I took it to a local iPhone repair and everything is wiped out of my phone because good old Jerry here doesn't tell you that you HAVE to disconnect the battery before replacing the cover! Thanks Jer for loosing 2000 pictures, all my contacts, all my music, and everything else. Be nice to know what to do first!!!!
Like with every repair. Disconnect the battery first.

2. Pentalob opens only two screws outside.
3. Look at the sequence of tapes. Biggest, smallest, medium
4. Don't touch left and right side of the screen, you can broke glass inside.
5. Gently with home button.
6. Don"t pull off the micro from bracket. Look at the microphone, it's so small.
hey.....if u ordered the screen from the site in the description....plz tell me if we can change the brightness of the display.....someone told me we cant..
@@aniketmodi3865 of course you can thats part oh th phone os not the screen
wish i read this before. The phone turn on and worked. But when i put the panel over the lcd cables back on i think i mixed screws up. Won't even turn on now with the old screen.

Thank you very much for this super educative video. i have just replaced my iPhone 6 screen. it took me approx 2 hours. but constantly pausing and rerunning you video to do each step correctly has helped. My iPhone is as good as brand new now. its seems that while replacing the screen all the Lego type connectors also got properly fixed and even the out put / input sound quality has improved.
PERFECT TUTORIAL. 100% MARKS. 5 STARS
You’re the man! Everyone thought I wouldn’t be able to do this, but thanks to you everyone is now asking me to fix their phones 🤗😂
Watching this in 2017.. you have come a long way man. Keep it up (y)

what is the website you got the screen from if you dont mined telling me
@@brashpilot5495 it's in the description of the video
brashpilot buy em on aliexpress... They’re quite good. Don’t do it on expensive phones tho... Like all overpriced iphones

Embarked on this repair carefully, disconnected the battery first thanks to other people's comments. Everything was going well until I got to the earpiece which, for the life of me, I couldn't remove, felt like it was glued in... So, had to dash to the repair shop, phone in bits and all the screws neatly on the iPhone 6 magnetized mat I'd bought which was great. Got my phone fixed in under an hour for a great price, probably because I'd already bought the correct part and the phone was already taken apart pretty much! First and last time, I'll attempt an iPhone repair on my own. If you're intent upon fixing your phone yourself, I'd recommend having a good backup plan of where to get it fixed asap in case things don't go as planned... Appreciate the quality of the video very much and also watched the one on replacing iPhone 6 batteries to see how to disconnect mine first.

I do not have a heat gun so I used my oven. I set the oven to 160 degrees and after 10 mins the screen came off in 5 seconds with just my hands. Personally I think the oven is far easier and quicker. Btw great video and thanks for helping me out!
Cullenm10 That takes guts. Impressive though! Glad it worked for you.
***** I'm dying hahaha.
***** hahahaha
Perfect tutorial as is. No problem with battery. Took me 20 minutes. Hardest part was lining up the "lego" connectors; didn't want to press too hard. I put screws on a piece of tape and laid them in the same "shape" /orientation as the part they came from: upper right, lower left, center, etc. Thanks much for the video!
thank you for creating this, very well edited and clear video. you saved me a solid $60-$70!
Heck ya! Thanks for watching!

Great video!! The replacement screen I ordered had the camera and home button already in it, so I didn’t have to do as much disassembly. Time spent replacing screen was less than 10 minutes tops! Thanks again!

Best diy phone repair video ever, this man gets straight to the point, no unneeded information right to business,
Oh wow. Nice tutorial!I love how it's straight to the point and as informative as need be within each step!
Thanks for this "how to" guide. It made the impossible very much more possible. Thanks again👍🏻
+John West Glad I could help out! Good luck!
+JerryRigEverything just doing a second one now and the front facing camera and earpiece are not working! Do I need to replace he camera and microphone wiring?
John West Make sure it is connected correctly first. Sometimes those ribbon cables dont snap all the way in just right.
+JerryRigEverything I have had it apart and put back together 3 times so might have to replace the wiring😪
Anybody else watching with a shattered screen
Phone just got shattered like 5 minutes ago
Sekzy Viperz me
I'm watching on s broken iPod cuz my 6 screen doesn't work
Yep
me too shattered
15 minits ago
Whoop Whoop!! I just followed you r video and replaced my broken screen. It totally worked!!! Thank you so much Jerry awesome!!!!!!! Thank you - i read all the comments before i started so I did disconnect the battery beforehand and I made sure to keep everything organised, to keep track of all the screws. And it worked!!! Thank you!!!!!!! Nicci 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I fixed many iPhones while watching this video🙌Thank you
I thought you were dead, Saddam, or you just look like him?!!!

No response so I guess your the only dumb ass 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😭😭 lmao
I am.

me too lol
With the help of your video, I have successfully changed both battery and screen and i learned 😊 thank you 🙏
Best thing about this video is you don't spend the first ten minutes telling us via video selfie what you are going to do, why, and how important it is. The tutorial is no longer than necessary -- 5 minutes is good. I was able to pause as needed and complete all work no issues. Thanks.
I just fixed my gf phone watching this 🙏 !!! You got a new sub and like👍🏾
This worked super well. It definitely doesn't take 5 minutes though, more like 2 hours.
lww 515 Took me an hour tops. Can’t argue when a decent screen was only £18
where did you get yours?
go on ebay, i just ordered one for 11 quid
took me 20 minutes to repair my wifes phone. Just need to keep everything in order when taking out the screws, but then again I have a maintenance degree so that might have helped me out
Yea, first time may take a while, but it should take max 25 min
The arrows are a big help actually, nice touch.
Got an old iPhone 6 a while ago. Crap battey and shattered screen. Changed both today with this vid to guide me. First time opening a phone, so I'm stoked about the result! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much! I fixed my iPhone today and it works just fine. I only had to disconnect the battery, which you didn't say in this tutorial but besides that I'm happy and thankful.
Remex how and at what point in the replacement do you do that?
my legos were way different than iphone connectors
Thanks for this great video. Any chance you know where to get the two tiny screws on the bottom by the charge port (with the star head)? I don't know what you were referring to them as, and I seem to be missing one!
They are called pentalobe screws. and you can purchase replacements from Amazon or ebay. The screws should be very inexpensive.
JerryRigEverything hello brother will simple 2.5 d screen protector work instead of that to go cheap?
Awesome video. Saved me 50 bucks. I didn’t take the battery out, just powered down like the video said. Everything works fine. It took me about 20 minutes. But I didn’t need to replace the camera part at the top. DO NOT MIX UP THE SCREWS. They are very specific. He says the connectors fit like legos. If legos were microscopic. :)
Excellent. Well filmed and nicely spoken and explained.
This might be the best instructional video I've seen. Love it.
dallas mitchell Thank you! Hopefully it helps!

This was difficult, but thanks to this video and another, it worked. Firstly, other vids. recommend disconnecting the battery - two screws and pop off the connector. Getting the home button ribbon off was tricky - do use a heat gun to get the connector off (I used a hairdryer). I also got the ribbons in the wrong order when re-assembling and had to do 'video forensics' to work out which order the ribbons overlap each other. Take your time, get in the zone, chill and relax and NO DISTRACTIONS. Expect to take an hour or so. Be really careful with the screws. I used a magnetic mat that came with the replacement glass kit. And finally a magnetic tipped screwdriver makes life so much easier.
Also be aware, there are 4 models of iPhone sixes: the iPhone 6, 6s, 6 plus and the 6s plus - all the screen replacement models/kits are slightly different - buy carefully!!
Was this sponsored by Lego?
haahhahahahah
Why am I watching this I don't even have tools for this
Saaaaame
When your phone has deeper grooves than scratches on level 6
This video helped me replace my phone screen iPhone 6s successfully without a glitch. Thank you Jerry Appreciate your effort tearing down your good, working iPhone 6s for the demo!
Well done video. Have you found a source for the screens yet? I have clients that have broken the screens within 8 hours.
They are showing up on ebay. Though the prices are um high. The ones i found so far are in the 800 usd range shiped from uk france etc. Do not buy from those suppliers they are taking advantage of the hype. The real sellers will sell them for just under or over $100. I would say your looking at 2 weeks or so till they are widely available.
Holger Kuester 8 hours has to be some kind of record... But ya, id say it will be about 2 weeks before the screens start hitting the market... Any screen you find now will be super expensive.
JerryRigEverything I dont know the 5 line for glass were out around 3 months before the phone lol
Me and my one boss sold all the glass we bought for around 2 bucks a pop for 5 once the phone was out. We just did not see the point of doing glass only on the 5 line. The parts for lcd assembly were only around 40 on release. Making it non economical to do glass only. Why bother doing glass when you can swap the enitre thing for around 30 more and have a better repair than even if you used loca a separator ect all. You still have a non perfect replacement and when you figure in the cost of the loca per phone your looking at 10 to 12 for glass + loca and likely another buck or 2 for a new frame for the assembly.
Honestl i always look to sell the customer on a full unit over a glass replacement on iphones.
Total of all replaced parts: 20 dollarsish
Shop phone repair services: 100 dollars (not including VAT)
Just to fool desperados
That’s the price you pay for someone else doing the work
thx for tutorial, followed all advices, phone works nice and smooth.
Thanks so much! I was able to fix 3 old iphone screens in less than 2 hours thanks to this tutorial. My little brother and sister are going to be so happy. You the man!
where did you get your screen replacements from? Thanks

Thanks mate, fixed my non-functioning touch screen in a few minutes......Turns out when I dropped it last the connectors had detached from the logic board and just needed to be clipped back on properly......Legendary video.
Just did! It was actually pretty easy with the right tools! And only $17, way better than it would’ve been otherwise

1:20 into the video "make sure you keep track of your screws or you'll run into issue".... well fuck i already lost em all

They were delicious.
Too much for me, i rather pay someone to do it for me
Same
+Brianna Laurel I went and got mine replaced by one of them about a month ago and the screen popped back out like they somehow didn't tighten the screen around the edge enough. Now I want to be able to do this myself so I know it's done right lol
Tell me about
People like yourself are one of the reasons I have a job :D
LOL!
Just replaced the screen in an iphone 6, following this video. Only snag I hit was needing three hands to re-assemble all the gubbins around the earpiece/camera etc. Even managed to keep track of all the screws! Anyhow, all good and my wife is well pleased. Thank you.
I followed your video and my screen is black, I thought my phone might have been dead so i plugged it into the charger and it vibrated and everything, but still no screen. So I disassembled the screen and tried again and I got nothing. The box underneath the four connectors keeps getting hot. Did I ruin my phone or is there a way to fix it?
Lil late but possibly
I feel like my “legos” for the last step before turning it on are different but I’m just gonna roll with it lol
BEFORE TAKING OFF THE SCREEN UNPLUG THE BATTERY FLEX. YOU CAN BLOW THE BACKLIGHT AND RUIN YOUR ENTIRE PHONE.
B4RR4GE 2007 What?
Sources...?
read what he said.
B4RR4GE 2007 thank you
Ryan V this isn't the case for the iPhone 6, but for the iPhone 6s and onward, it can short-circuit the backlight. So bear that in mind if you ever do this
This took me 24 minutes, but it worked!!! You need to show a bit more detail (close ups) on putting the first ribbon into the new screen, but I figured it out.
Who's going to just take their phone to the Iranian man in the mall?
ひber .
Hahahahhaha 😂 me i don't have patience for this
This video was great EXCEPT you did forget the CRUCIAL step of disconnecting the battery. I foolishly did not look at the comments first and now my phone will not turn on. SMH...very sad. Lucky for you, you have that disclaimer on the bottom of you description...unlucky for me. Thanks
I didn't disconnect my battery and my phone is working... Although my fingerprint scanner doesn't work now.
Same thing happened to
Not crucial; I didn't and it works fine.
My fingerprint scanner has now started working for whatever reason, so all good for me.
@@keeganwrathmall that was probably apple dicking you. They have some software where if you don't replace your screen at the apple store, the sensor wouldn't work. But due to the backlash they stopped it
I don't even own an iPhone. why am I watching this?
I need more time. This guy is so good he acts like everyone has done it a thousand times and should be just as easy and quick. I am not quick and this is not as self explanatory as he seems to think. The ole “you can’t mess this up crap is WRONG. Easy to mess up. I did not disconnect my battery either saw an arc. If I get it back together I feel sure it will not work. Thanks a lot speedee iPhone man.. Okay,,,,,I am done and it works. I am in shock. Could not have done it without this video. However,,,when jerryrig is removing the ear pieces with the tweezers it changes view and messes me up. Seems like zooming in and slowing down would have helped. And the ribbon wires must be folded in the correct order to lay flat. Easy (for me) to get out of order and confused. Still,,, my phone works!! I have two extra screws if anyone was wondering.
This guy forgot the most important part. Disconnecting the battery. If you do not disconnect the battery while doing a screen repair, you risk blowing out your phones back light filter/back light circuit, which will be a costly repair, because your phone will then require micro-soldering. It is almost impossible to fix an iPhone in 5 minutes. This video skips though him removing and replacing the screws to make this a 5 minute video. The only way an iPhone can be fix in 5 minutes, is if you have a full screen assembly, requiring you to only have to swap over your Touch ID button to the new screen.
uBreakIt iRepairIt I'm pretty sure this just happened to us. How do you fix it?
Vanessa Maree Your phone will require micro soldering to fix that issue. It's not a repair the average person, or even most shops do. My friends backlight on her phone randomly went out, and come to find out, my local parts supplier guy is actually co-owner of www.shortcirqit.com. They offer mail in/drop off services for the type of repair you need as well as a bunch of other services. I've always been one who's skeptical about about the work of others. After I checked out their website, it seems they really know what they are doing when I comes to repairs. This shop went above and beyond to make sure my friends phone was fixed when having the mentioned issue as well as the front camera not working.
Vanessa Maree You can also verify your phone has this issue by looking at the screen under the sun or bright light to see if you can see it. You can also plug the phone into a computer with iTunes and see if the phone is detected.
Totally agree with you! *claps*
omgosh! i was going to use this tutorial to learn how to replace iPhone 6 screens but I've read that he didn't tell ppl to disconnect the battery. I'm new at this and any tutorial I learn from has to be exact if i'm going to repair others screens. so sad...
Thanks a ton for watching, “I’ll see you around” was was missing
Worked great for me. Despite the part that removes and replaces the front camera and connectors, this tutorial is amazing and did the job for me (along with some other online resources). Thanks a lot, Jerry.
It only took :30 of this video to realize that paying Apple $125 is probably worth it.
lmao yes! I don't want to fuck up
Apple only replaces the glass. If you need an actual screen replacement, they make you pay for a full phone replacement.
Really? There was nothing even remotely complicated in the first 30 seconds or even the first minute.
I just ordered a fully assembled LCD that already came with home button, ear piece, and front camera for $42 from ebay, and it only took me about 10 minutes or less to swap out the screen. No need to transfer those components to a new LCD thus save a lot of time and hassle. However finger print scanner might not work (if you use it) unless you transfer the old one over.
Any chance you can share the link? I wanna order the same too.
Disconnect the battery before you disconnect anything plz
Sherlyn Mendes how do you do that?
@@leahkohman3881 there is a bracket near the battery (black with apple logo on it) it has two screws take them out minding that they are a diferent length and not to get them mixed up. and then pop up the battery connector!
your voice made me sleepy
3 and a half years later, this has helped me a lot. Thanks for the instructions. You've made a great video.
When you spend 40 mins unscrewing 5 screws 😭
lmao! same
I think you forgot to unplug the battery
After several taxing hours due to the small screws I was able to install and have the phone operate however the home button does not work. I've removed it and reseated it again with no luck. Not good.
Scott Kapfhamer same problem here :/
Well thanks for the input. I fumble due to a couple injured fingers. I will look to purchase another home button as the finger print sensor I can give a rip about. peace
Thanks!
Thank you you saved me money....

So if I replace the home button it won't have the fingerprint sensor?
yes
No you won't have touch id because each touch id button is paired to the phone. If you want to keep touch id use the old home button. Hope this helps.
I'm pretty sure that only when the home button is replaced by Apple themselves you can regain touchID because they know how to change the paired scanners to the logic board
Bro u saved my life. Thank you. I subbed, liked, commented. Your the best!!!!!!
Anyone in 2020? 😂😂😂
I’m here man! Just for fun!
Because of this video i forgot to seperate battery flex cable and it causes shortcut from the LCD connector. Now phone is broke
I took my phone to a repair booth in a mall and it took much longer to get the same thing done on the same model 🤦♂️ and it also cost a decent amount of money
This looks really easy, and it is. He does a very good job explaining how to do it. I finished mine and it worked for a few seconds while testing it before closing it up. So I closed it up tried it again, and nothing. I opened it up again and repeated everything just in case something came loose. Closed it up and still nothing. I took it to a local iPhone repair and everything is wiped out of my phone because good old Jerry here doesn't tell you that you HAVE to disconnect the battery before replacing the cover! Thanks Jer for loosing 2000 pictures, all my contacts, all my music, and everything else. Be nice to know what to do first!!!!
