Thank you for the detailed videos, they have been very helpful. When I removed the screen I was extra careful, maybe too careful and the screen came off in two pieces. One piece is the screen with the connector and the other is the bracket with the metal connectors and the cameras at the top. The screen will not turn on now after I reconnected everything. I dont see anything damaged on the screen. I was wondering if you know of a service that can repair the screen? I am planning on buying the less expensive LCD screen for about $200 to hold me over until I can find somewhere that might be able to repair the screen. Thank you for your help!

I think I am just going to take it into apple and pay the $600 to have them swap it out with a new one. I cant seem to find anything about how to troubleshoot what is causing it to restart, assuming it is something to do with the motherboard. Perhaps it got too hot on the heating pad at 120 degrees for 10 mins when I removed the screen. Thank you for your help.

Rebooting every few minutes sounds like a panic report issues, it’s possible that either the charging port or power flex is bad. It’s also possible something else is damaged but without seeing your phone in person it’s difficult to diagnose.

Hey brother. I don’t need my battery replaced but it’s sad to think that it’s so hard to do. I remember my Galaxy S3 that could literally have its back removed and battery replaced in 30 seconds. I wish iPhone came out with a phone that wasn’t hard to get into. I currently have a 12 pro max (5 months owned) and the battery health is still 100%. I know it will degrade in the next year.

Best to use a suction cup before you put your pry tool in, as you put the pry tool in the wrong place then your screen is gone , hot plate is also good if you do this regularly

@repaironwheels 2 жыл бұрын

I’ve tried a suction cup with little success, I assume because of how stiff the perimeter gasket is. Hot plate I completely agree with. the average person probably doesn’t have a hot plate which is why I normally stick to basic tools

@repaironwheels 2 жыл бұрын

as for the pry tool, there is some danger of sticking in the wrong place, although in my experience as long its only inserted no more than 2-3mm you shouldn't have issues. the main issue in my experience comes from not using enough heat along the perimeter and/or moving your opening tool to fast which causes the glass or display to become damaged

@@repaironwheels try one like Jerry’s one he uses in this video , the little ones that come with the screen sometimes are rubbish and you got no chance of doing it with them but the other ones are good , I have tried them myself and they work great , you only need it start off and after you hit the tool in then you don’t need it really , the hot plate I always use as with hot air gun, it’s hard to control the temperature and it will depend on the distance you are using from the screen to the hot air nozzle , if you get that wrong then the screen is gone , hot plates are really cheap and some are similar price to the hot air gun and actually cheaper than the brand you got

Thank you for the excellent video. As an owner of vintage gold, gold-filled and gold plated watches, and fountain pens, watching you use the metal tool on the screen to case-edge interface made me concerned about damaging the very thin gold plating used along the top edge of the rare plated case. I would try to use a plastic tool, if possible, to minimize removal of the 10 to 20 micron gold plating on the vulnerable edge-damage which can be obvious when light hits the device from certain angles.

@repaironwheels Жыл бұрын

After the device is opened it’s safe to say it’s no longer water resistant. Moving forward the only reason you would want to reinstall a screen gasket is to help keep dust out or to keep the screen from tapping against the frame. If there is enough of the original gasket remaining, I prefer to use that than aftermarket gaskets. If the gasket is mostly missing or falling apart that’s when I would replace it

I’ve seen quite a few devices repaired by Apple that went in the water post repair and didn’t recover from it. I can only assume the gasket they are using on the 12/13 series holds up better. That being said half of the equation is the individual repairing your phone and how well they install the new gasket. I experienced that personally with an iPhone X screen swapped under warranty from Apple. The gasket was visibly sticking out so the phone couldn’t have been ip68 water resistant anymore. I’ll leave it with this. From the factory newer devices specifically 12 and 13 hold up much better over time even a year later. But once the device is opened there’s a big question mark
