How To Replace A Shattered iPhone 7 Plus Screen

This is a complete start to finish video guide to replacing a shattered iPhone 7 Plus screen. Make sure that you get a good quality replacement screen and tool kit, some suggested purchase links are provided below. A replacement screen should cost you between $25 and $45 depending on the quality; I’d recommend getting one around $35. The kits below come with an included tool kit which is usually sufficient to do the repair once.
The two most important parts of this repair are to keep your screws really well organised so that you know exactly which one came out of where and to be careful when working with the ribbon cables, especially when opening up your phone, they are extremely fragile.
Here are the purchase links for good quality replacement products and tool kits:

Good luck with your repairs and let me know how it went in the comments section below.

Kristien Stuteville most of the screws are just used to secure the connectors if the phone gets dropped or bumped so it should all be fine. Plus, you now know how to fix them if they come loose.

Some people are just not made to do this kind of stuff. I just tried to fix mine. I got to removing the ear piece and watched the step 15 times where you remove the ribbons there (4:28) and still TOTALLY mess up. I should've just taken it somewhere. But these are the best instructions I've found so far. I am just not made to do this stuff.

Thanks so much for this, I just repaired my fiances phone for the cost of a screen (£17) and a set of tools(£8.95). Being 1/4 scottish and the rest yorkshire by blood I don't like spending out!! Really good advice in this, I found a decent set of tools well worthwhile as opposed to the cheap ones that came with the screen. definitely worth having a piece of paper with areas for each of the screws marked out on it as there are a few to keep tabs on!!

hey I have an iPhone 7 plus 32GB super happy with it but it is that the last one when I record a video with the front camera it gives my voice but muffled with hissing sound but if I rub a few times with a small piece of sharp object then in the hole where the mesh and ear speaker is freed very slowly then he does it again for a while and automatically falls back to the muffled with hissing sound and then I have to repeat this again but I want to get rid of this but the front camera replaced is enough to solve this or has the ear speaker or pre-assembled screen been replaced? Using with front camera only its work without sound and ear speaker when i do a phone call the ear speaker works good

Hi Bella. Yes, the replacement screens are actually a combined LCD and digitizer assembly. So most issues with the LCD, backlight and touch sensor (which aren't being caused by a fault on the logic board) will be fixed with this replacement.

You might of put fingerprints on the connectors and that would stop the digitiser from scanning your touch (I did this on a iPad it took me for awhile till I realised :p) or if you are sure you didn’t do that, it would most likely be the screen depending on how much you spent on it and got it from, I recommend you get a good quality oem replacement.

There is a small rubber gasket around the home button which you'll transfer to the new screen. If it looks worn out then you can replace it as well. It's important to remember that even if you do replace all of the seals on your iPhone, it probably won't be water resistant to the same level that it was before it was opened, so don't treat it as being water proof.
