iPhone 6S screen replacement / digitizer glass and LCD reinstallation instructions

[@chelseylavonnehughes4348]

sitting here with a new iPhone 6S screen that works is unbelievable! I appreciate the delivery of this content in a manner that is a little slower than some others. It allowed me to pause at specific places and replace various parts I may or may not need. Great job! Also, wonderful job at making me feel like I'm a tech guru!

[@Laptopscreen]

Thank you Chelsea, glad it helped you! We try to make our tutorials concise and "straight to the point" with voice-over for every necessary action.

[@michellep_83]

Unbelievable... I did it! Success! Your video and the step-by-step instructions on your website were extremely helpful. Also, from another page, I downloaded a screw chart page and printed to keep all the pieces organized. Thank you!!!!!!!

[@TOPGAMING-ds3xe]

Michelle P where did u find that page🤪🤩👍🏽

[@midnight-xpress1136]

Nice video, thorough, straight to the point with a very good step by step.

[@devilcookie9924]

I spent 30 mins to reassemble the audio module but it works fine. thx for the great vid!

[@petrysparadise8924]

I’m about to do my first 6s screen replacement for my oldest daughter to play on safely with out getting cut by glass. Any tips or recommendations? Is it easier then I expect it to be? I feel confident!

[@pgil9511]

Great vid, I was a little nervous at first but as I went on follow the detail instructions my install was perfect thanks.

[@Laptopscreen]

Great to hear!

[@Glenfiddich101]

I have repaired mobile phones before of various types but I have never done an Apple product before which I was always led to believe was not an easy job and should only be done by trained technicians, but you probably couldn't have explained it any better than you did in your video, at least you made it very clear and easy to understand Thank you for the great video 😁👍

[@celethabito1308]

really helpful and clear video. i just replaced my old iphone 6S screen. couldn't have done it without this!

[@arnoldbosman9828]

Thanks for the detailed video. Reconnecting some of the ribbon connectors was a bit tricky because of the sticky goo around the connectors. But a careful scraping and removal of the adhesive residue seemed to work. I now have a fully functioning iPhone again. Thanks so much!

[@Geoff4822]

There are other instructional vids for this but yours is far and away the most clear. Thank you. My screen is now all mended. What a faff though!

[@ReadingAdam]

I just followed this video and successfully installed a new digitizer screen. I had ended up tearing a piece from the camera assembly, but I guess it was just a strip to hold something together and didn't have any wires through it because everything works correctly. Great video.

[@Leamingtongav]

Excellent video - needed this to have confidence to do it but pretty straightforward with it!

[@Laptopscreen]

Thank you! Hope your repair went well :D

[@texastrumpet5636]

Excellent video. Repaired phone with no issues, step by step

[@buddhikanavarathna6227]

Thanks..... superb guide...I rescued my phone because of you.....

[@michaeljaydasoc9805]

The most detailed tutorial ever, love it.❤️

[@yolo5399]

Fantastic!! The only thing i would suggest is to download the iphone 6s screw template . Your video is 100% fool proof . Thank you very much.

[@jacobpockros]

UNBELIEVABLE WALKTHROUGH. 5 STARS.

[@catchinwithchris8787]

Thank you! Worked like a charm and saved me money!!

[@elliottandrade9336]

I fixed mine, thank you so much. You made my screen replacement a whole lot easier.

[@MadeInJersey10]

Thanks man. I was able to replace my sisters screen with out too many hiccups.

[@boranaparas8968]

Thanks you sir your video is very help full but when I am on my device showing iPhone unavailable PLEASE HELP ME 😢

[@syusamsudin7132]

Why my front camera and ear speaker not working after changed my LCD 😭 help me plz

[@sebastiantsolov9081]

That was the best explanation ever man, keep doing videos i support you 100%

[@Laptopscreen]

Thanks, will do!

[@bogdanvulic06]

You described it very good 👍 Great video!

[@-noahhimes-1892]

the display assembly connector screws i had were stripped

[@NicholasQuigley]

Same with mine - no amount of force would get any of those 6 screws on the sides to budge. I just cut those six screws on the sides of the assembly off with wire cutters. Followed everything else and the phone works great.

[@heshanhero3032]

Great content! I don't usually comment on vids unless they're worth it. Thanks a lot!

[@1996Takis1996]

Bro, you're awesome, I just fixed it. Thank you!

[@benwoodbridge1393]

what pushes man to his limets trying to surive in a rain forest, no trying to live through a plane crash, no fixing a iphone 6s screen, yes

[@Laptopscreen]

I've repaired an iPhone with a broken sim tray on a plane once, using an earring.

[@Laimonieliss]

Nice and easy. Very good video!

[@surrealstr]

What happens if you didn’t disconnect the battery first

[@Laptopscreen]

Nothing, but only if you're very precise when reconnecting all other connectors. If not - you could lose back-light or sensors or logic board. Probably best to disconnect the battery first if not sure.

[@OPatomwong]

มีวันนี้เพราะพี่ให้ครับ Thank you, your VDO helped me replacing my phone screen

[@karthikkrishnamurthy7876]

Brilliant step-by-step tutorial. Thanks a lot.

[@lifewithmara8644]

If i have a iphone 6 a iphone 6s sccren that cant work yes or no

[@xViiPeRz_]

Thanks dude now I can fix my friends phone with out paying 150 to fix it

[@thonchaiyangywjpheej7573]

This looks hard for a 13 year old to do..but I'm going to try

[@Laptopscreen]

Bro, you've got a better chance than most adults.

[@xahvayy]

Nice vid...the thin black sheet on the face of the heat shield,if that sheet is taken off will that affect the screen in any type of way?

[@asadavsten1481]

if we cut the big metal shield, we can't use the old screen anymore??

[@Abdousjh]

Well explained and detailed.

[@keifathompson7475]

My boyfriend is the best at first i was affraid it nah go woke but at the end it work my phone is working an i was planning to take it to the technician

[@brandoncanales2521]

this really helped me out thank you for posting this

[@davidardeljan2403]

fixed it, just whoever does it make sure your tools are quality and you make sure you know exactly where he screw goes because some of them are different in length

[@alexnavarro1469]

Great video !! Very useful for me

[@GlowartArt]

Thank you. My iphone are live again :)

[@lanadeldios]

in 3:25 you need to buy new???? what's that red thing

[@Laptopscreen]

Its a protective film that comes with new parts.

[@EverythingWhoKnew]

I just bought a screen and I tried to install it but I get light yet no display

[@schmekis1]

Another video I watched did not have the battery disconnect step. I'm trying my second new screen install and neither of them have worked. I searched find another video to see if I did anything wrong, and found yours. This is the one possibility that I can see. Any thoughts on the battery disconnect?

[@Laptopscreen]

Its better to disconnect the battery. Its not mandatory, but it helps to prevent any connector mishaps. A short can happen when plugging in the connector if its misaligned. The short can affect the back-light and other peripherals. If your phone's new screen is dark, you can try shining alight through it and if there is an image, but no back-light, then you know your back-light power supply is down. Unfortunately that would require low level component repair or a logic board replacement.

[@arzhotsmotovlog4827]

How to fix small bubble i the corner upper right?

[@salehsa9330]

Thank you so much. Happy new year.

[@doyfixphone2841]

thank you for very informative video

[@chasxreacts155]

What am I doing wrong ? the connectors never want to stay in place

[@ralphbooger4756]

that jumpcut a 3:19 was really annoying, the assembly does not come of as you show for me, then you just cut past it... other than that, it was a good tutorial!

[@williamwong6007]

I cannot take the big metal shield off, the screws are impossible to take off. Any advice?

[@Laptopscreen]

You could drill out the screw caps.

[@silipyhamid]

You dont need to unplug the battery, I replaced a new screen without unplugging the battery and it worked well.

[@Laptopscreen]

Malik, correct, unplugging the battery is not required to replace the display in the iPhone. However, it is an easy extra step to prevent the potential damage. Damage may occur when connectors are being aligned with their sockets and leads touch parts of the connector that they were not meant to touch - which may result in a blown back-light or a broken proximity sensor. While this only happens when the connectors are specifically misaligned - it is none-the-less a common occurrence with the first time installers, so doing the extra step is totally recommended.

[@shadowangel8005]

thats bad advice. always disconnect the power when working on electronics. with the Iphone 6S you can damage the backlight. also it was not mentioned you need to be extreamly carefull disconnecting the screen flex cables. don't use force and use a plastic pry .

[@MaRiAVeVos]

thank you so much!! your video helped A LOT ! I fixed my iPhone Screen :)

[@XFBO]

ERROR: At the approximately 3:23 time, you failed to mention that the two clear pieces need to ALSO be removed and used on the new screen.....one is for the camera and the other a sensor??? without them removed and used in the new screen I believe alignment will be compromised.....I had to watch another video to see this mistake.....I picked up on the camera piece but failed to grab the other so now I need to take apart the phone again. Thanks!

[@uzairnisar3273]

XFBO on some new screens it already has it installed so maybe this one had so, the person had a company and is showing you how to replace it if you buy his screens, not just any random one...

[@ProudElefant44]

If I am replacing the screen from my old phone to the current one, do I still have to take out all those parts out first or I can use my old good screen with the home button attached?

[@Laptopscreen]

You might have to use your old home button and the camera, but you can try.

[@TOPGAMING-ds3xe]

Thank you sooo much! Took me some time, but now i have an «new» iPhone 6s!

[@Redhotluv88]

My son and I can’t get the damn screws on the side ( the 3 screws on each side). I don’t know why, but they will not come out. Is there a trick to get them out? Something to do to make them come out? I’m about to use wire cutters or something...lol

[@Tj._.official9]

I did this . The charging logo popped up but now it's dissapeared and won't pop up again .... any ideas?

[@Dantheman937]

I can't figure out how to put the ear piece and front facing camera back, the pieces don't seem to fit properly

[@TheAbsolut123]

U have to remove a little rubber on the new screen m8

[@jaredhutchinson4629]

For some reason my front facing camera isn't pciking up. Any ideas. I feel I put it in correctly.

[@jacobpockros]

Does the short screw go on the top or on the bottom of the large metal bracket that has 8 screw holes? I put it on top.

[@PatrickOrtega]

I did this and I missed the step of taking the batter cord out of the phone and now my screen is completely dim ://

[@KuyaRenren]

wat did u do? same thing here

[@ZXATunes]

How do you solve it? Sadly I did the same thing

[@jmart0820]

can i test the replacement screen without removing the the orange protective film? the store i bought it from voids th return/replacement warranty if i remove any film from the screen

[@Laptopscreen]

Yes, you can test it with film... but the store's policy may not be enforceable in many jurisdictions around the world. If you used a credit card or PayPal to make a purchase they may be able to void the payment in-case the item isn't working and the merchant isn't accommodating you.

[@Yeti974]

I bought a screen but doesn't have the home button connector. How can i transfer where the home button connect ?

[@darkmorning3881]

Hi I bought a iPhone 6 screen but I lost the second plastic piece at the very top of the phone I have the round one but not the square one does it matter if I have it.

[@amirulasyraf4560]

thank you.... but you dont take the plastic cover for the camera..

[@mr.gennix2882]

3D touch still work in any type of Iphone 6S display?

[@Laptopscreen]

It'll depend on the type of replacement display you get. Since the phone is rather old and not a lot of people are willing to pay Apple hardware prices, most replacement LCDs available for it today would at-best have 3D touch simulation - not actually working, but the OS will think that it is. You'd have to get a refurbished Apple genuine display to get it truly working.

[@geracolo1952]

Excelente guide, it works for me. Thanks!!

[@lyonsilver1463]

Thank you for your video....my 1st time replace screen ip6s plus succes!!!!!

[@trey1sauce165]

Is it normal for some of these screws on the inside of the phone to be loose? My screen was shattered but never opened, when I opened it I noticed multiple were loose and I’m wondering if that caused my screen to only want to turn on sometimes?

[@Laptopscreen]

Its not typical, no. Most screws even have paint to prevent vibration induced unscrewing.

[@williambishop6800]

Does this fix a phone that has lines going through it and glitching loads with an unresponsive screen

[@williambishop6800]

Also looks like it’s melting

[@aWetPinkThing]

wow that was painless. didnt have to buy my kid a whole new phone. only cost me $20. thanks.

[@robjamesharrison]

What do you do if you connect everything and the screen is black?

[@Laptopscreen]

Reconnect everything, this helps in 9/10 cases. Next use the original (cracked) screen to test if the phone is still sending signal, if yes, then RMA the new part. If the screen remains black with both new and old screens check if the phone has any charge, and if that still doesn't help you would need to get a new main board.

[@aydensmith8226]

Who else is watching this on a cracked phone?

[@g2thomas]

Awesome video, to perfection !!! Fixed my replacement screen!

[@stevenwilson5827]

Hey my iPhone 6s replacement screen only came with 2 ribbons not 3. I turned phone on just to see if it would still work and it did. What’s was the third ribbon for

[@Laptopscreen]

Ribbons, as in connections at the top? 1 is LCD another is Touch - that's what most replacement parts come with. 3rd is camera - it is transferred during repair. 2:00

[@allisonhollis1769]

Hey man the 3rd ribbon is the camera go ahead and switch it over. And if by any reason you guys damage anything is if you aren't fragile with the ribbons I'm currently sol cause a ribbon was forced back in causing damage to the internal piece. Also the parts online are super cheap I broke my button ribbon in the process and had to replace.

[@jordanharper3925]

What do I do if my screws won't unscrew from the screen metal protector?

[@Laptopscreen]

Drill the cap off.

​@@Laptopscreen okay, thank you! i was able to get a new screen and put it into my phone, but the same problem is still happening. My phone works, but there is no picture. I don't know what the problem is. Like the touch screen works, but there's no picture.

Sir finger sensor are. Working or not ??

[@mrkaishu6630]

PlZ tell me your reply

[@Laptopscreen]

@@mrkaishu6630 Yes, 2:24 the original fingerprint sensor (home button) is transferred onto the new part. Its the same sensor the phone got from the factory, it will work unless its not connected or the wire is broken. The only change to the sensor is a new ribbon cable connecting it to the motherboard that runs behind the LCD.

[@7531PETER]

I did this without disconecting the battery, and the home button no longer works, but when replacing the original screen it works just fine, do you know why this could be?

[@PatrickOrtega]

Peter Kaufinger hello. I think this is late but I did the same thing. But my screen is completely dim. I can’t even seen the screen.

Hi, I couldn't remove the six (6) screws at the sides of the metal shield, it was impossible, the are fixed. Do you have any suggestions how can I do? I'll really appreciate then, thanks! Great video.

You would have to drill them out if they are stripped. Or get a better screwdriver if the screw heads are still catching.

[@Uvularspider657]

Does it just come with the screen it self or with tools?
