This is a well done tutorial. Did you not think it important to discuss TrueTone or the official Parts error message that shows up every time? How is this possible?
Yes you are correct, you do need a special programmer to restore the TrueTone functioning on a new screen. I do mention to the customer that they will get a temporary display warning message for 15 days then it goes away. This actually happens on official iPhone screens as well if you don't have the programming machine directly from Apple. This is definitely an attempt on Apple's part to not let us small shops repair Apple products that the customer owns.
@@dackselectronicrepair Thanks - but for clarity, even though the "temporary display warning message" goes away after 15 days, TrueTone will not be functioning unless you use the Programmer. Correct?
Do you mean using glue around the edges instead of the double sided adhesive? If so yes some people use a flexable glue called T or B-7000 or 8000. Personally I have never used it as the replacement double sided adhesive gaskets come with the screens I buy. I would do some research because using the wrong glue will mess things up in many ways!
Hi, i recently broke my screen on 11 promax and have a question. How “bad” would it be to put a LCD screen on it as OLED is recommended? Would there be any issues such as overheating or something similar (i dont really care about the quality of the OLED screen, just looking to make my repair cheaper).
I have never done it and have heard both ways. LCDs do draw more current which will make battery life shorter and could possibly cause damage to the board or overheating. It definitely won't look as good as an OLED. I personally won't risk those very bad possibilities (dead phone) for the difference in price. Good luck!
Thanks for the tutorial 👍 I had trouble separating the screen, using the razor blade helped. Also - the step to transfer the sensors at the top of the screen (after removing the three screws around 5m30s) is much easier to just take the whole green bracket together instead of heating and separating like in this video ua-cam.com/video/JpRD4iiRQoA/v-deo.html
Thanks for the comment! While you can remove the whole plastic bracket and transfer it I would not recommend doing this for two reasons. The first is removing the bracket compromises the adhesive that holds it in place so all your sensors can move around. The second reason is that plastic bracket is glued down in a very specific place and if it isn't transfered to the exact location it can make those sensors not respond properly. The front cameras also use this plastic bracket to locate them.
Wow. The best tutorial I've seen so far on replacing the screen for an iPhone. Thank you sir.
That is high praise! Thank you so much! My absolute pleasure!

@@ToddBelt-eg1in That is correct.
I'm just getting into repairs, should I be gluing the screen back on or not?

@@dackselectronicrepair and where would you recommend buying the OLED screen from? Thank you for your fast reply!
I get mine from a wholesaler but I imagine Amazon or Ebay would be your best bet.
What’s a good place to get the screen for this phone I can’t find a good seller,
Our business orders through a wholesaler. But you are basically looking for a soft OLED screen. Do not buy the cheaper LED screens.
@@dackselectronicrepair which better soft or hard oled?
@@TheJuzaireed The Apple OEM screen is a soft oled. The way it is constructed is supposed to make the screen more difficult to break.
