Like with every repair. Disconnect the battery first.

3:10 “It’s really easy NOT to mess this up” Me, in tears after I messed it up: *Dude whAT*

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!

Title: Done in 5 minutes. Me: 5 hours and counting

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.

This guy is straight up the Bob Ross of iPhone repair

I find that ice cube trays are amazing for sorting and keeping parts in place

I’m almost done.... this is sooo tedious Update: I finished it and it all worked!!!!

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!

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.

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.

I dropped and cracked my phone while watching this and i wish i was kidding Edit: so I actually ended up doing the repair myself and it looks good tbh

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 haven't even started and I've already lost all my screws

Who's watching this on their broken iPhone 6 😂

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.

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.

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

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.

Thank You. Love the brevity. Visual design is good and makes it easy. Don't have to watch each screw being opened etc.

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.

Oh wow. Nice tutorial!I love how it's straight to the point and as informative as need be within each step!

My husband and I just did this together. I had to tell to calm down a few times but we fixed it in the end. Thank you!

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 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

Watching this in 2017.. you have come a long way man. Keep it up (y)

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 🤗😂

glad that your speech and intonations has improved😍 great job, JRE!

3 and a half years later, this has helped me a lot. Thanks for the instructions. You've made a great video.

thx for tutorial, followed all advices, phone works nice and smooth.

Even went out and bought a jerry rig everything metal pry tool. Thanks for this awesome tutorial

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!

Best diy phone repair video ever, this man gets straight to the point, no unneeded information right to business,

The arrows are a big help actually, nice touch.

Excellent. Well filmed and nicely spoken and explained.

brilliant tutorial made my first ever screen replacement flawless thank you Jerry!

Great tutorial. I thought it would be difficult, but you made it simple and easy to follow along. Thanks!

With the help of your video, I have successfully changed both battery and screen and i learned 😊 thank you 🙏

Thanks a ton for watching, “I’ll see you around” was was missing

Really excellent video - very clear and easy to follow, with great close-ups of the trickier parts of the process. I can't thank you enough for posting this - it allowed me to fix my old iPhone without screwing it up or making things worse - big success! Danke!

Thank you for taking the time to make this video, it made fixing my broken screen a breeze!

my legos were way different than iphone connectors

Jerry 2014: *almost whispers Jerry 2019: 2DAY IMA B TSTING TE GO0GLE pixl 2

Thanks for such a helpful demonstration. It took me a while, but I was able to replace both a battery and a screen using your videos.

This was a really quick. clean and precise video, no confusion at all... well done

Was this sponsored by Lego?

February, 2019... still relevant. Awesome job, Sir!

I just followed this and fixed my iPhone 6 perfectly! Thanks for posting. Screw management is key. wrap them in cling film and put in a box. position each wrap in the location you took it from. store brackets with their screws.

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.

This is awesome! You just helped to create a father and son moment. Thank you so much not only for the training video, but also for the links to buy the replacement parts and the tool kit necessary. I just can't tell you how happy I am for this. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Clear and to the point. Love that!!!!!

Thank you Jerry, I found your video very useful and played it through several times before actually starting to do a screen replacement. I experienced a couple of difficulties installing Earpiece ribbon cable, that you suggested should have been easy. My issue was engaging the Earpiece ribbon, sensor and camera lens in the casing and getting them to sit firmly in position. The ribbon had to be folded exactly in place to allow the earpiece the ‘click’ firmly in position. The next problem I encountered was refitting the LCD cables in their correct order. I hadn’t noticed the top two cables had swapped positions. This meant that they didn’t fit the appropriate layered ’lego’ connection strips in the correct order when I came to connect the screen to the main body of the phone. When I re-installed various components to the new screen I hadn’t noticed a couple of the ribbons had stacked incorrectly. I had photographed each critical stage of the strip down and realised the cables had to be swapped over. The use of force to make the misaligned strips to engage with each other would have damaged the contacts. So it’s very important to get them in the right order. I felt your video skipped over these very important issue. Thanks again

Thank you very much. I tried this and it worked. I just had some trouble unscrewing a few screws that we're screwed on too tight by apple. But other than that everything went smoothly and the end result is flawless

Anybody else watching with a shattered screen

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

still very helpful today. thanks Jerry! learned a lot from removing screen to replacing iphone battery.

Great video!

I just fixed my gf phone watching this 🙏 !!! You got a new sub and like👍🏾

Thanks for the content!! The new screen is in and working great.

Yes!!! Thank you for this vid! It was simply put and easy to follow. I have a new screen now!

Zack sound so different back then 🤣

When your phone has deeper grooves than scratches on level 6

Grateful to find this and after watching it twice...dove in. 30 minutes later...working like new!!! Thank you!!!

I love the way you explain in understanding detail and make it look easy 🙂

Who else is watching this on their cracked iphone?

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

Excellent tutorial, thanks very much. New screen fitted and working. Would just mention that some screws are different lengths, particularly for the first plate you remove over the 4 connectors and the plate over the camera/ earpiece. Make you you pay attention to these as I ended up muddling them up despite organising my screws carefully (or so I thought!) Thanks again

thank you man it was my first attemp to change a lcd screen nailed it in 10 mins great video!

Why am I watching this I don't even have tools for this

I feel like my “legos” for the last step before turning it on are different but I’m just gonna roll with it lol

This is the first time I’m changing a screen and ur videos have really helped

Hey man, I literally just fixed my phone using this tutorial and you my friend have earned a sub and like. At first, I was worried about fucking up the cables cause they weren't set in properly but with some patience and good lighting+work space; I got it all fixed. Thank you so much and god bless

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!

Quick question, will replacing the screen in turn fix a digitizer problem?

Fantastic! Easy to follow and precise instructions.

I'm actually so proud of myself fixing my own iPhone. thank u so much for the video it was super helpful!!!

Thank you you saved me money....

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!

Cheers Jerry, just fitted an I phone 6 battery with your tuition 👍 Going to do a 6s battery and screen next week, thanks for the video 👍

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 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

thank you for creating this, very well edited and clear video. you saved me a solid $60-$70!

This worked super well. It definitely doesn't take 5 minutes though, more like 2 hours.

Thank you for being detailed yet not long-winded!! 😊

Thank you Jerry. This was very helpful!

Thanks for this "how to" guide. It made the impossible very much more possible. Thanks again👍🏻

Does the iphone 6s need those two metal plates on the inside to function? Or are they just to protect sensitive pieces?

Awesome Video! Helped me get a new screen in! Great Job!

This was a super easy to follow video. I did it!!!! Thanks 😊

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...

overall good job, you could slow down and gain better camera angles on some of the small component parts work. otherwise, very helpful

can't thank you enough. I'm sure you just saved me hundreds by giving my phone a bit more life!

Amazing. I did it in the first time, and it's done! Thank you so much for such a good video.

Just did! It was actually pretty easy with the right tools! And only $17, way better than it would’ve been otherwise

I fixed many iPhones while watching this video🙌Thank you

Nice walk-through. A couple of things I would add is to point out that when snapping ribbons back down on the board (towards the end of install) that they do require a decent amount of pressure and make a definitive snapping sound. The second tip I would give is to keep the screws holding the two small metal "cover" plates on each far end of the large metal plate loose so the holes of the six side screws (three on each side) of the large metal plate line up correctly. Also, the glued ribbon parts are pretty strongly attached to case but prying up at the points where tutorial demonstrates works well. Oh yeah, don't forget to power off B4 disconnecting ribbon cables, especially if you have the alarm clock set :/.

Very helpful yet relaxing

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?

Who's going to just take their phone to the Iranian man in the mall?

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.

Sir that was exquisite 👌🏽 Thank you!
