Anleitung

1. Prepare your phone for disassembly

   • 
   • 

   Unplug any cables from your phone.

   Hold the power and either volume buttons and slide to power off your phone.

2. Tape over any cracks

   • 
   • 

   If your screen or back glass is badly cracked, lay overlapping strips of packing tape over the glass to protect yourself and make disassembly easier.

3. Mark your opening picks

   • 
   • 
   • 

   Measure 3 mm from the tip and mark the opening pick with a permanent marker.

4. Remove the pentalobe screws

   • 

   Use a P2 pentalobe driver to remove the two 7.2 mm-long screws on either side of the charging port.

5. Screen bezel information

   • 
   • 
   • 

   During the next two steps, make sure you're inserting your pick in the correct location:

   There's a plastic bezel on the underside of the screen that sits on the frame. Insert your pick here, making sure it's completely under the bezel.

   There's a seam between the plastic bezel and the display panel. Don't insert your pick here or you'll separate the two, complicating the repair.

6. Heat the bottom edge

   • 

   Use a hair dryer or heat gun to heat the bottom edge of the screen until it's hot to the touch.

7. Insert an opening pick

   • 
   • 
   • 

   Apply a suction handle to the bottom edge of the screen.

   Pull up on the handle with a strong, steady force to create a gap between the screen and the frame.

   Insert the tip of an opening pick into the gap.

8. Screen information

   • 

   There are two delicate cables connecting the screen to the phone: one just above the action button, and the other near the middle of the left edge.

   There are multiple spring contacts around the perimeter of the phone. Be extra careful not to insert your pick deeper than suggested in these locations to avoid bending the contacts.

9. Separate the bottom edge adhesive

   • 
   • 
   • 

   Slide your pick back and forth along the bottom edge to separate the adhesive.

   Leave your pick inserted in the bottom right corner to prevent the adhesive from re-sealing.

10. Heat the right edge

    • 

    Heat the right edge of the screen until it's hot to the touch.

11. Position the opening pick

    • 
    • 
    • 

    Slide your pick around the bottom right corner of the screen and toward the power button until you feel a hard stop at a clip securing the screen.

    Rotate your pick so the flat edge is under the screen.

12. Release the right clip

    • 
    • 
    • 

    Twist the pick to increase the gap between the screen and the frame until the right clip releases.

    Insert a second opening pick to the right of the first pick.

13. Separate the right edge adhesive

    • 
    • 
    • 

    Slide the first pick back to the bottom right corner of the screen.

    Slide the second pick to the top right corner of the screen to separate the adhesive.

    Leave these picks inserted to prevent the adhesive from resealing.

14. Heat the top edge

    • 

    Heat the top edge of the screen until it's hot to the touch.

15. Separate the top edge adhesive

    • 
    • 
    • 

    Slide your pick around the top right corner and along the top edge to release the two clips and adhesive securing it.

16. Heat the left edge

    • 

    Heat the left edge of the screen until it's hot to the touch.

17. Separate the left edge adhesive

    • 
    • 
    • 

    Rotate your pick around the top left corner of the screen.

    Slide your pick to the bottom left corner of the screen to separate the adhesive.

18. Swing open the screen

    • 
    • 
    • 

    Gently swing open the screen to the left of the phone.

    Rest the screen against a box or similar object so it doesn't strain the cables.

19. Unfasten the logic board cover

    • 
    • 

    Use a tri-point Y000 driver to remove the six screws securing the logic board cover:

    One 2.1 mm‑long screw

    Five 1.5 mm‑long screws

20. Remove the logic board cover

    • 
    • 
    • 

    Use tweezers or your fingers to grab and slide the logic board cover toward the bottom of the phone to clear the sensor cable.

    Remove the cover.

21. Disconnect the battery

    • 
    • 
    • 

    Use the tip of an opening pick to pry up and disconnect the battery press connector.

22. Disconnect the ambient light sensor

    • 
    • 

    Use the point of a spudger to pry up and disconnect the ambient light sensor press connector from the top left of the logic board.

23. Disconnect the screen

    • 
    • 

    Disconnect the screen press connector.

24. Remove the screen

    • 
    • 

    Remove the screen.

25. Ambient light sensor information

    • 
    • 

    Check if your new screen comes with an ambient light sensor installed.

26. Remove the ambient light sensor cover screw

    • 

    Use a Phillips #000 driver to remove the 1.4 mm screw securing the ambient light sensor cover.

27. Remove the ambient light sensor cover

    • 
    • 
    • 

    Use tweezers or your fingers to unlatch the ambient light sensor cover and remove it.

28. Heat the ambient light sensor adhesive

    • 

    Use a hair dryer or heat gun to heat the ambient light sensor until it's warm to the touch.

29. Pry up the sensor

    • 
    • 
    • 

    Use the tip of an opening pick to pry up the edge of the ambient light sensor out of its black plastic enclosure.

30. Reheat the ambient light sensor

    • 

    By this point, your sensor likely cooled down. Apply more heat until the entire glued down component is warm to the touch.

31. Separate the adhesive

    • 
    • 
    • 

    Insert the tip of your opening pick underneath the press connector cable.

    Slide your pick back and forth underneath both cables to separate the lower section of adhesive.

32. Step 32

    • 
    • 
    • 

    Use the flat end of your pick to slide back and forth underneath the sensor until you've separated roughly half of it from the screen.

33. Remove the ambient light sensor

    • 
    • 

    Use your fingers to grab the raised half of the sensor and peel it from the screen.
