iPhone SE (2020/2022) Screen Replacement (Fix Your Broken Display!)

[@roger3958]

Great, thank you so much!! Found a $17 screen on ebay and with your tutorial, I was back up a running a week after my dog chewed my screen. Took about 1.25hrs to fix, but I didn't bother with the water proofing and taping, well, because my cheap kit didn't have any of that. Thanks!!

[@dendys04]

you should install the seal because dirt will find its way inside and thats not good

[@yotoprules9361]

Alternatively you can use b7000 which is what I use, and keep it clamped for a while until the glue dries ​@@dendys04

[@joshypeepoo]

Thanks man! This tutorial was perfect! Quick and straight to the point! Fixed my phone in about 2 hours without issues! (I did lose one screw)

[@TheLASOproject]

I always lose a screw 😂😂

[@yotoprules9361]

I wouldn't worry about 1 screw haha. They're absolutely tiny

[@selophane43]

Wow!! I cant believe i actually did it. ALTHOUGH… i did get confused at the part where you said “Unless you have an oem/refurbished screen, skip to 3:54”. If anyone has an aftermarket screen, do NOT jump to 3:54. Stay on task and remove that metal plate from the stock screen and place it on the new aftermarket screen. Boom.

[@formicroscopyuseonly]

Does it show a prompt similar to the iphone 11 when u replace the original screen with a third party display?

[@RealWorldReview]

Yes, but it goes away after a week or 2

No prompt

Hello, great video! I’ve got one question: can i repair se 2020 screen by changing it to iphone 8 screen? And also program true tone on iphone 8 screen from se 2020 screen?

[@RealWorldReview]

Yes you can

[@C.Dynamo]

@@RealWorldReview *how much money would that cost to change an iPhone SE from the black display to a white bezel display? 🤷🏻‍♂️*

@@C.Dynamo A display assembly costs less than $25 shipped. But the home button color is unchanged if you want to keep TouchID -- only the original button supports TouchID. Also, aftermarket displays don't support TrueTone unless you also have access to the original display AND own a reprogrammer (but 1. any half decent shop should be able to lend you a programmer, or do it for you, and 2. truetone is useless imo)

[@magnusdahlgren3715]

This video helped me replace my broken screen and saved me about US$100, which is about the markup that a local shop charges.

[@RealWorldReview]

Crazy. I charge $80 total

[@palwashaaakhan5400]

Thank you sooo much for your video- I have changed my daughter's phone screen with this tutorial and it works again! Although I was able to figure it out- I wish you'd mentioned in the video that some of the screws would be of different lengths and to take note of it while removing them- but otherwise fantastic!!!

[@jalf1997]

Hi! Does true tone work after replacing the screen? I’m thinking on buying the yodoith screen kit. What do you think?

[@yotoprules9361]

You will need a JC programmer to keep true tone.

[@iwanlewis2261]

Hello, I recently did this but didn’t put any tape on, my screen is noticeably unresponsive a lot of the time when typing, (for example this took twice as long to type as I needed to press the keys down for longer for the display to recognise I was touching the keys) and I have a hard time trying to swipe the control panel up, it seems like the bottom quarter of my screen is much worse than the rest, can someone explain this? I’ve heard something about grounding but im not sure what that us exactly?

[@RealWorldReview]

That's the grounding issue. The kapton tape should fix that issue.

[@jamesdodds3195]

Thank you. I was able to use this to replace my daughters screen. I did have one problem though. The metal bracket that screws down over the battery, screen and home button connectors was somehow causing the screen to become unresponsive. My guess is it was jarring the connectors under it when screwed down. After trying a couple times to reseat the connectors with no luck I just removed that bracket and reseated the connectors. Then I sealed the phone back up and it works perfectly.

[@tonykavanagh7802]

can I reuse the metal panel @3:13 from the original? Buying a new screen has the option of including the metal panel or not.

[@5892432]

Hello ! Do you know where i can buy the display and ser Of there delivery yo others countries?

[@Reykokuna]

I assume that as with other models below this one, so series 7 and below, the home button no longer works properly and you need to enable the on-screen sensor, right?

Just out of curiosity, would you be able to swap the screen with a white iPhone 8 screen?

[@RealWorldReview]

Yes, but the home button. Will stay black

[@gasnoboof]

@@RealWorldReview what do you mean by this

[@RealWorldReview]

If you change the home button, it will not work. If you use a JC or HX button replacement, home button will work but TouchID will not

[@Prithedivine]

Do you need to use the tape? What exactly does it do?

[@RealWorldReview]

Yes, it prevents grounding which can cause the touch to not work properly. This only applies to aftermarket screens (you should be fine without the tape with OEM, FOG, or In-Cell screens)

[@user-lj4zw1rv9i]

What is the kapton for?

[@RealWorldReview]

To prevent touch issues with aftermarket displays

[@kaleewiley1658]

I'm having difficulties getting one of the screws out. It's the above the home button. I used all the small screwdrivers I have, and it still won't come out. Do you have any suggestions?

[@andrzejgrad8970]

Do you need to glue new screen?

[@Travagast]

Can you update the link for a screen you recommend buying? The current one is unavailable and when I search amazon I see mixed reviews.

[@markusray319]

If I have a screen from another phone then I don’t have to mess with home button or anything just disconnect screen then put the other on right?

[@RealWorldReview]

Your home button will not work. It's paired to your phone and no other phone. So even with an original screen you will need to transfer the home button

[@charlesalbrecht6201]

Late watcher but love the video and am extremely thankful! I’ve seen on newer phones technicians reprogram or “clone” the old screen to the new using a specific programming tool. Do I need to do that for an SE screen replacement?

[@RealWorldReview]

Yes and no. The programmer is only for true tone and auto brightness. If you dont use those, then you dont need it

[@blackflames9205]

my new iphone 8 replacement screen for my se wont turn on, i only connected the wires to test it first might you know the problem?

[@RealWorldReview]

Might be a defective display. Also you might need to plug in the charger to turn on the phone.

[@dmoney902]

What’s the tape for

[@arkieologist]

Will my screen work without the Kapton tape? Or will it be all screwy? My screen fix kit does not come with any Kapton tape, double sided, or that lovely blue layer you mentioned helps water resistance.

[@yotoprules9361]

My screen didn't even have the removable shield, but regardless I left the red protective film on and it's working just fine, with a cheap aftermarket screen. The quality is reasonable, you can tell the colours are more dull compared the original but otherwise it's ok.

[@zacharypawlowski3969]

Thanks for video, I am getting a constant tapping sound when recording video after I replaced screen, have you heard of this and a possible fix? I tried restarting, software update, and turning off cellular/Bluetooth. It doesn’t tap if recording audio only.

[@ahmedyousof6288]

How necessary would you say the adhesive at 4:54 is?

[@RealWorldReview]

Not the end of the world. Your phone is not water resistant and this will not bring that back 100%. It does help hold the screen down, but if most of the adhesive is still stuck on the phone, replacing this isn't required, just recommended. If you're a business replacing a customers screen, then you need to do this.

Is the touchid works??

[@RealWorldReview]

Yep

[@yotoprules9361]

​@Spawsy_ so long as you keep original home button, yes it will. You cannot use touch id with another home button, it has the be the original (linked to logic board)

[@real.innerfire]

When I am putting a refubricated glass, should I use any glue? Because you are not putting there any. Also does everything work correctly after replacing, even truetone etc.?

[@RealWorldReview]

I recommend using the screen adhesive if there is some, like what the phone comes with. Don’t use glue/super glue! True Tone and auto brightness don’t work (generally) if you don’t program the new screen with a programmer.
