Today we are going to be taking apart and repairing the iPhone 6s Plus. I am recording
this particular video with my Note 5. I will also include a FREE PDF screw chart to help
keep your screws organized. The 6 and the 6S are pretty much the same just a few different
screw locations. I will link all the tools and replacement parts in the video description,
right below this video.
There are two screws at the bottom they are pentalobe screws. Remove
those. Then you can pry up on the edge of the screen using a suction cup and a pry tool.
Make sure you are only prying on the edge of the frame of the phone and the edge of
the frame of the screen that way you’re not going to put any pressure on any of the
components on the inside. There is a little bit of adhesive around the edge of the screen.
Once i have a little bit of an opening I can use my plastic pry tool. This will keep from
marring the edge of the frame. Once you have it up high enough lift it up. Don’t bend
it past 90 degrees just yet. There are some fragile ribbon cables. Remove the 5 screws
around this metal plate, and then take off the metal plate. That will expose these little
ribbon cables. These are just like Legos you can unsnap them from the mother board lift
them up and put them out of the way. Then you can separate the screen from the rest
of the device. This is the screen right here, and there are some components that we need
to remove like the home button and the earpiece and the front camera. So let’s get started
with that. There are 3 screws along the top that hold down this metal plate. Remove that
metal plate. Then that exposes the front facing camera as well as the ear piece, which we
are going to set off to the side on that PDF screw chart. The front sensors and the front
microphone we are going to pull that off. Here’s the top component. I will link these
replacement parts down in the video description. There’s two screws holding down the home
button. Remove that, then you can unsnap this little Lego connector right there, and you
can pop the home button away from the home body. Be super careful with this. You want
to reuse your home button as much as possible. Apple has been handing out warning messages
and breaking people’s phones who have to switch the home button. So be very careful.
There are 3 screws along the side and one at the top. Then 3 screws along this other
side. That’s for this back metal plate that rests along the pressure sensor for the screen.
Here is the 3D touch component. If at all possible you want to buy a replacement screen
with the 3D touch already attached. This is the 3D touch which is attached to the LCD
which is attached glass screen of the phone. This is the whole screen unit that you will
be purchasing. We are going to go ahead and put the metal on the replacement screen that
you purchased. I will be put those links down in the video description below. Get all 7
screws attached to the metal plate. Then put the same Home button that you took off back
onto the screen. There’s this pin that helps you guide it back into place. Then take your
little Lego connector and push that down as well, and you’ll feel it click. Put the
metal plate down with its two screws. Then if you took off these little plastic components
from your old screen; some new screens come with them already installed, but it just depends
on where you got your screen from. Then you can line up your microphone with its little
plastic pin at the top there. Get your sensors in place. Then you can take your earpiece
and put that down making sure that little niblet is down tucked inside that little hole.
Each of these little gold springs will line up with that gold circles on that little ribbon
cable. It looks a little messy and complicated, but it sits down pretty well once you get
them all lined up. Here’s the metal plate get that down and put those 3 screws back
in there. Then you can take your ribbon cables, line them up and put them back down into place
just like little Legos… all three of them. Before I put the metal plate back on I just
want to test it and make sure it works if you have any lines running through your screen
or if it’s gray or discolored you might want to try reconnecting those ribbon cables
again. There is a chance that one of them is not sitting quite right. Everything is
looking good so I am going to turn off my phone again, and then install that metal plate.
Get those 5 screws back into place and we are good to go. I’m going to line up the
top of the screen first. There are these little plastic grooves that slide into the metal
frame of the phone then I press down evenly snapping it down into place all the way around
the edge. Make sure you get your bottom 2 pentalobe screws in and you’re set. If you
