iPhone 11 Screen Replacement: Fix Your Cracked Screen!

[@labibrahman09]

Before screwing back the brackets its a good idea to power on the phone and check the display. If something's wrong, turn off the phone, disconnect the battery and check whether the flex cables have been properly connected.

[@MathGeekQ]

Yep. Last thing you want is to find out you didn't properly connect a flex cable and have to re-open the whole phone again.

I do this everyday and i have a few recommendations to make this easier. When removing the clip over the ambient light sensor go in from the side with your tweezers and not from the top or bottom. Heat the screen a good amount(if the screen is damaged and your throwing it away) and use you tweezers like a lever and get under the clear bracket and lever the entire clear bracket up from both sides then it will be much easier to get the mic off and the light sensor will come out of the clear bracket. This method is the safest way to remove all the sensors without causing any damage to them and the easiest way to remove the mic with all the adhesive and protective mesh.

[@davidamaya8813]

Who do u recommend buying screens from

[@MrRickTic]

@@davidamaya8813 We use Injured Gadgets and Mobile defenders for screens and parts. For batteries we use Ifixit. If you are replacing android screens i always recommend using the OEM screens with frames. I rarely ever put a screen in without the frame as one part. For Samsung get the service packs. They are from Samsung and are original parts. MD and IG sell them. Screen w/frame. They are sealed better and are always stronger.

After replacing the battery don’t you need to run RepairCal? There will be an non apple warning in settings, correct?

[@austinricker]

4:48 Be sure that your bracket is properly installed on the metal pin, not between the pin and the sensor. Also, at 3:54 you can pry up on your plastic camera bracket from the right with tweezers to lift up the proximity sensor more easily, reducing the risk of damaging it. It is also good practice to transfer the adhesive left behind from the microphone seen at 4:30 to your new screen. At 6:13 also make sure to check the right side of the phone to ensure your display cables won't get pinched. Use the flat end of a plastic spudger to gently nudge the cables away from the edge of the frame.

[@doranfixeseverything]

I did it!! And everything is fine including Face ID! Getting the screen off took WAY more heating than said in the video though, and quite a lot of trial and error on the very cracked screen with some tape and the suction cup. The 000 screws were also an absolute pain to get out even with the right bit. I had to apply loads of downward pressure just to loosen them. Some did not budge even then... Thankfully, I figured you can get away with taking only most of them out and careful bending the small metal sheets to access and unplug/replug the bits under them. I also found that the flex cables on the new screen did not quite fit around the L shaped metal plate: the cables were running over where the screws would have to go. So I didn't bother putting the L shaped metal plate back in at all. It's fine! When you boot up again you get an error message from the phone about third party hardware, but everything works just like before except you do not have TrueTone anymore. I looked it up and it seems that since the iOS 16.5 update it is much more difficult to use a programmer like the JCV or iCopy to restore TrueTone whilst reassembling the phone. Since those are worth £100 or more and the alternative would be getting a proper repair from Apple, for which they currently charge a whopping £220, I figured I can live without. This kit costs £60 so compared to getting it fixed by Apple you would be spending an extra £160 just to retain TrueTone... Not worth it imo! Personally I can barely tell the difference now it is disabled so it cannot have been that useful :D Thank you iFixit for this amazing guide :)

My two cents. If you’re old like me or just have bad eyes up the magnification of the reading glasses. I use 1.5 normally, but would go as high as possible if I do this job again. The screws and screwdriver tips are so small they were just blurs and it took a while to figure out which tools included in kit went to which screws. Also keep those screws in order by placing them on the sticky side of tape when removed. That trick saved me. Also my tools were magnetized, but you have to place tool tip in screw head then slide fingers up tool shaft until past screw and it is still sitting properly on the tip. Took me a 1/2 hour to figure this out with first screw, then got a lot easier.

Hi Jimmy, open the phone and check to make sure that the ear speaker is seated correctly. There is also a possibility that when you removed the sensor you could have torn a part of it, the sensor cables are sensitive and delicate. You may have to replace it but by replacing it you'll lose FaceiD. So just go over your work again and take your time, also make sure the cable is seated correctly.

The only possible fix is to remove a tiny chip off the original screen and solder it on to the replacement screen which is beyond most DIYers skill set.

Yes, but/and/also this message on the Lock Screen goes away after some days, and the phone works just fine with this Notifications message still there. Only pesky if you're embarrassed by this message for some reason, or if the Notification in Settings bothers you for some reason. It will be gone from the Lock Screen though, and unable to be seen unless in Settings-->Notifications.

Can all iPhones be fixed this way or are they designed different?

[@sergeinazi8256]

Don’t we need to programme the new display? As in copy the information (serial number etc) from the original/broken display and then transfer its information(serial number etc.) to the new replacement display?

[@bassinbillRC5300]

I do

[@bassinbillRC5300]

I found a tool that was described on KZbin and I purchased on eBay called a jc-v1 readwrite programming tool. It reads and copies the software from the old screen. On the right side of the display between the edge of the tool and a display is a series of motherboard connections for the various iPhone models and that's where you attach your motherboard connection from the old display and also the new display when you record and then you write that data onto your new third-party screen.

Got my screen fixed about a month ago and just dropped my phone again and the screen popped out of the phone on the right side. Should I just be able to pop back in or would I need adhesive to do so?

Does it work like the original iphone screen.

Is it not possible to replace the glass only, without replacing the whole screen?

[@RAZZZENGANN]

not worth the money it’s cheaper to buy a whole screen
