How to Replace iPhone 6 Screen at Home?

Step 1: Pentalobe Screws

• Discharge your iPhone’s battery to less than 25% before dismantling it. If a charged lithium-ion battery is unintentionally pierced, it can catch fire and/or explode.
• Before you start disassembling your iPhone, make sure it’s turned off.
• Next to the Lightning connector, remove the two 3.6 mm-long P2 Pentalobe screws.

Step 2: Tape Over the Display

• Tape over your shattered display glass to keep future breaking contained and prevent bodily harm while you fix it.
• Cover the iPhone’s display with overlapping pieces of transparent packing tape until the entire face is covered.

Step 3: Opening Procedure

• Place a suction cup directly above the home button on the screen.
• Pull up on the suction cup with one hand while holding the iPhone down to slightly remove the front panel assembly from the back cover.
• Begin carefully prying the back casing down, away from the display assembly, with a plastic opening tool, while continuing to pull up with the suction cup.
• To remove the suction cup’s vacuum seal, pull the plastic nub.
• Remove the display assembly’s suction cup.

Step 4: Removing the iPhone Screen

• Swing the home button end of the front panel assembly away from the back cover, utilising the top of the phone as a hinge, to open the iPhone.
• While working on the phone, open the display to roughly a 90o angle and lean it against anything to keep it propped up.
• To keep the display in place while you work, use a rubber band. This keeps the display wires from being overworked.

Step 5: Removing the battery connector bracket screws

• Remove the following Phillips screws from the battery connector bracket:
• One 2.2 mm screw
• One 3.2 mm screw
• Remove the metal battery connector bracket from the iPhone.

Step 6: Disconnecting the battery connector

• Gently pull the battery connector up from its socket on the logic board with a plastic opening tool.

Step 7: Removing the front panel assembly cable bracket screws

• Remove the following five Phillips screws securing the front panel assembly cable bracket:
• Three 1.2 mm screws
• One 1.7 mm screw
• One 3.1 mm screw
• Remove the front panel assembly cable bracket from the logic board.

Step 8: Disconnecting Parts

• Disconnect the front-facing camera and sensor cable connector, home button cable connector, display data cable connector, and digitizer cable connector with a spudger or a fingernail.

Step 9: Separating front panel

• Remove the front panel assembly from the rear case.

Step 10: Home Button

• The two 1.9 mm Phillips screws holding the home button bracket should be removed.
• Remove the front panel’s home button bracket.
• Disconnect the home button cable connector with the point of a spudger by pushing it up and away from the home button.

Step 11: Removing the Home Button

• To soften the glue that secures the home button membrane, use a little amount of heat.
• Apply hard, consistent pressure to the home button on the front side of the display assembly with your fingers until the membrane begins to separate from the front panel.
• Using a spudger, gently peel the home button off the display the rest of the way.
