The iPhone is a beautiful phone built to tough out common physical and technical issues. But accidents happen. You may lose grip on your precious iPhone leaving the screen badly cracked. As a result, your phone may respond poorly to touch, fail to show clear visuals and not even recognize face ID, limiting you from accessing and using your iPhone.
Distraught on what to do next and with a tight budget, you may feel confused about your next step of action. To help you out, here are some quick tips to properly replace your iPhone XR screen.
How to replace your iPhone XR screen
Follow the following steps to replace your iPhone screen:
Turn Off and Open The Screen
First, turn the power off and carefully remove the Penelope screws. To keep the screen from breaking further, use duct tape to cover the screen. To open, use a hair drier to help weaken the strong adhesive that keeps the screen in place. Use a suction handle to get a good grip on the broken screen and slowly lift it.
Unscrew The Screen
The iPhone XR screen replacement opens like a book. Note that the screen is still attached to the ribbon cables which connect to the logic board. Find a book or other stable wooden block to help lean the screen against as you try to unscrew the little screws that hold the delicate ribbon cables in place and set the shattered screen aside.
Assemble the new screen
Using a book or wooden block, lean the screen against it as you try and screw the ribbon cables back on the iPhone. Remember to follow the original pattern you used during disassembly of replacing the screws. Be sure to check that the ambient light sensor is in position, right on top of the diffuser as you put the screws back in place. This ensures that you place the ribbon cable screws in the right order. Thereafter, begin by pressing the screen on the clips starting from the top edge going round to the bottom edge of the iPhone.
Hint: Before pressing the display down, turn on your phone first to confirm if all the phone functions are working properly. Turn off the phone before you move on to the next stage of reassembling the screen.
As you can see, doing an iphone XR screen replacement is not a complicated process. However, if you are not a DIY person or simply uncertain of how to go about replacing the iPhone XR screen, it is advisable to find someone reliable to help.
