A complete video guide to replacing a shattered or damaged iPhone 7 screen from start to finish. It helps to get a good quality replacement screen and a decent tool kit, these can be bought individually or in a bundle from as little as $25.
Make sure you keep all the screws really well organised when removing them so that you know which ones go where, there are a number of different types, sizes and lengths of screws.
Here are the purchase links for good quality replacement products and tool kits:

Great guide, used with success. If you find the phone doesn't work after replacement (like I did) it may need a hard reset - Simultaneously press and hold the power button (Sleep/Wake button) and the volume down button until the Apple logo appears on the center of the screen.

Great video about replacing the screen. Did it today following the video...successfully. The suction cup method to separate the broken screen from the body did not work for me even after blow drying it. I had to be carefully creative and pry the screen open with the tiny flathead that came in the kit. The kit I bought had a cheap three prong screw driver. This screw driver is essential and is used the most during the replacement. The screw driver metal actually stripped and was not usable anymore. I bought a screw driver set from Home Depot that worked. It was a 000 three pronged screw driver in the Klein Tools set that worked for me. Again, great video overall about replacing the screen!!!

Big Dog hi, if this is what your wondering about.time frame at 4:16 shows them prying up on the ribbon (cable ) at these points you apply a little alcohol this will soften the glue and make for an easier and safer lift of that glued section of ribbon cable. It will then stick better when reinstalling. Just apply alcohol to any of these areas you come across.

@MichaelKlements 5 жыл бұрын

Hi, thanks for the great feedback. I haven't had trouble with those screws specifically but I have occasionally had trouble with the tri-points on the lcd back plate and with the pentalobe screws on the bottom. If they're even a little tighter than usual then they strip the head of the screw driver (the cheap included ones) and then its very difficult to remove them. A good quality screw driver shouldn't have any trouble with these small screws so either try pick one up at a local store or order a kit like the one included in the description link. Hope you manage to come right!

Hi Sam, The adhesive strip can be quite tough to work free. Try leaving your phone in the sun for ten minutes or so to soften the glue. If that doesn't work, as a last resort, you can also stick it into a warm oven (not more than 50C 120F) for around 5 to 10 minutes as well. You've just got to get the edge of your pry tool under the screen once and it should all come free.

Hi Alexander. That can be really frustrating! Have you tried gluing the screwdriver head to the screw with a drop of super glue? If that didn't work then my last suggestion would be to use a thin cutting disc on a Dremel or rotary tool and cut a thin slot into the head of the screw which you can then use a flat screwdriver to remove. You can buy a replacement screw set for your phone quite cheaply - amzn.to/2DfyY2u

@MichaelKlements 5 жыл бұрын

Hi Hamza, I've read some online articles which suggest that Apple has disabled screens repaired by third parties on the iPhone 8 running IOS 11.3. I haven't experienced any problems on any iPhone 6 or 7 with any IOS versions I've come across so far. Just make sure that you move the touch ID sensor across to the new screen so that it stays with it's original logic board and it should work perfectly. People do run into issues when they replace the touch ID sensor with a new one, this disables the touch ID features and the button just functions as a regular home button thereafter.

Have you heated it up enough? It should be fairly hot to touch. Then try placing the suction cup as close to the bottom edge as possible. Pull up on the cup and try insert your pry tool along the edge to help lift it up. You can often help pry the bottom edge up with two tools, push and lift with one then hold it in place with the other and repeat until the gap is wide enough to get the pry tool between.

These are called pentalobe screws, like mini star bolts they are so small its not easy to recognise what they are.

is the adhesive necessary for the screen replacement can it be done without it?

@MichaelKlements 3 жыл бұрын

The adhesive is just a dust and water seal, you don’t need to replace it if you don’t want to. It just provides more protection to the phone.

Does the fingerprint and home button work after changing the display?

@MichaelKlements 4 жыл бұрын

Yes it will, you just need to move the home button over to the new display and it will work perfectly

No, you'll move the back plate from your old screen to the new screen.

How do I get the screen to come up mine isn’t after trying the suction cup and tool to lift it

@MichaelKlements 5 жыл бұрын

Try gently warming the edges of the screen with a hair dryer before lifting it, this will soften the adhesive. Have you removed the two screws at the bottom? Start with the bottom edge of the phone.
