Just used your guide to replace my cracked screen. Thank you!

[@greglebarron9953]

I enjoyed this video! Thank you for your careful step-by-step explanations. A BIG help!

[@sega1665]

Great tear down 👌 I particularly like how you show reassembly. Thanks for posting these!

[@loganbrown7975]

Thank you so much! I would have never thought to disconnect the battery, and my new screen works great. This was my first screen replacement, and it went off without a hitch! I got one of the cheaper screens off Amazon and though it looks fine, I think the colors may not be as rich or bright as OEM. I'm just happy the project only cost me

[@jamborino1]

honestly, I wish i'd found this channel years ago. Best videos for iphone screens fixed at home by miles. best advice for issues i'd had before is the Y00 Y000 issue... i had nightmares there as an amateur.5 stars all day

[@EveMekka]

Awesome guide! Very helpful! Thank you!

[@tonycramp6327]

Good detailed instruction. It took over an hour (allow plenty of time). Thank you. That certainly saved me some money.

[@karlnissen4085]

Thanks for providing this detailed replacement guide. Some of the guides on the internets gloss over some of the more critical replacement steps and the need for care to prevent damage to fragile connection cables.

[@johncimino651]

Very detailed disassembly, thank you 👍

[@CharlieLinTV]

Replacing LCDs is like operating a surgery, hats off to the technician genius!

[@brendongyde]

He fucked the gasket when he was replacing it.

[@ikust007]

Thank you very much: because of the quality of your instructions, i was able to do it all. Not as fast as you though...;)

[@anonphonphan]

great guide! btw a question have you ever encounter a bright spot under LCD were the bottom flex cables goes. where u put the metal place and the 4 tri screws. i read alot of ppl had encounter that. but how is ur experience with it. any solutions?

[@paulbroadbent73]

Hi. Just followed your instructions and it worked fine first time. Many thanks

[@alanclarke888]

Followed this guide exactly and worked perfectly. thank you for the excellent guide

[@manuelkakabadse4141]

Thank you!!!!!! The only video that was actually helpful

[@FredwreckLA]

This is the best shot, most thorough video on the net for replacing the iphone screen!.. Thanks for sharing. Only thing for me was my kit didnt come with a new gasket. Ohh well.. everything worked great over here thanks!

[@fireguy_81]

Thank you for posting this video sir. I played/paused it the whole time replacing the screen on my iPhone 7. Very detailed and it helped a lot and saved me a bunch of $. Thank you again. I have subscribed to your channel.

[@kevonosweloo6570]

I love that it docent skip anything

[@ChristianTulsaPeru]

you are a hero! I did it.. I thought I was going to screw up but it worked! thanks

[@louisesmith6921]

Sir, you just saved me £80 thank you!

[@pectusin]

Does the repairing kit includes the screen gasket?

[@joelaclare]

This Video was a perfect walk through. It got me through the install...thank you

[@SuperTomkit]

I just did my iPhone 7 both screen and battery, all working good.... that’s for the awesome detailed video

[@craigm3775]

Very much appreciate the excellent video - thank you. Can you please add the words "Important: Disconnect battery before this next step" just before reconnecting the screen? I guess I was lucky and my screen was ok even though I didn't disconnect the battery, but explaining how important it was to disconnect the battery after you reconnected the screen was too late for me. Other than that, it was excellent - thank you!

[@sergiomendozacastro5368]

thanks my friend, this is very helpful, keep sharing your knowledge, you are support for many people

[@jimsap1163]

Excellent in depth and clearly presented. I researched many videos on this and definitely the best out there. I would suggest though re the ear piece/proximity cable: brighter picture needed. Thank you very much!

[@retiredhouse-dad8396]

Very helpful video. Thank you 😊

[@vib3nwitlyssa670]

OMG thanks so muchhh your truly a lifesaver!!

[@rustamsatdanov7609]

It’s the best step by step guide. Thank you

[@alexnani1326]

my friend thank you very much Im from Costa Rica, this video helps me alot, thank you

[@amirulmrh]

[@sweatshop4707]

Where did you get the screen

[@johnibbertson2960]

very good and explicit , wished id watched your version before attempting new screen, thanks, john.

[@donrishy]

This video was so helpful. I prob won't need it again, but I'm subscribing anyways!

[@joshuagruwell5691]

This is my first time using any heating element on a cell phone. Besides burning, is there anything that I should be aware of? Could I possibly warp the ribbon cable if I keep the blow dryer in the same spot too long? Is it okay use the blow dryer directly on the cables or should I warm it from the outside of the phone? Thanks

[@user-gh5he6sm5t]

Great video, thank you. When I did my repair, when I was securing the replacement I noticed 2 small white dots on the screen. I opened the phone back up and noticed that the little rectangular shaped box that sits just below the battery shield wasn't quite flush into the gap and so was forcing pressure from the back of the screen, causing it to light up in places. Just shifted this down gently so it would fall into the gap that's there and worked a treat

[@boylean]

The box your referring to was possibly a flex cable shield. But it could be the flex cable itself not being pressed in entirely. What I've learned is best to make them connect I use a a wider spudger atop the male end whilst perfectly aligned evenly and level with the female end. Why is because it can totally fit in there wrong, like 50percent of the male end overhanging, and if pressed it confidentaly but incorrectly and sometimes only just unevenly it'll bend the male leads backing which will destroy the leads of the flex cable forever best case scenario a pretty serious glitch. This is particularly important information for someone's who's removed there cables often, or was replacing a part not hardwired by flex cable, and you could end up with a phone that's now got a new problem atop the part or issue you just handled.

[@sinasaber246]

Thank you very much indeed . I can change it and that is working

[@greco37]

Excellent video the only departure was I had different size screws for the logic board retainer and the camera retainer.

[@tiannadantzler7473]

Very informative helped me thank you

[@sixbowlings]

Thanks for taking the time to record and share this. Very helpful!

[@dancepoetful]

Any tips on loosen tough tri wing screws, the one located over the battery

[@luis.carlosrodriguez1561]

Great camera work, thanks for an awesome video, very helpful. I used to replace my battery....

[@GreenboyQueso]

Thank you for this video!!!

[@lululee2099]

hi~ Great video thank you, quick question what if we dont have that "gasket" sticker thing in the end when wanting to put the new screen back on?

[@MidShipCivic]

Your phone will no longer be water proof.

[@breadandwater7038]

SUPERB explanation, well done wow

[@dankim2598]

thank you!!!!!!!! could not have done w/o this

[@myrainbow2u]

Hello, I appreciate this video, thank you! My iPhone 7 has a cracked screen, I plan on getting a DIY kit, but I'm wondering if I should get with LCD or just the glass. What do you recommend?

[@chrisbranston2805]

I would reccomend an entire new screen as taking just the glass off can be a lot of work and you may end up damaging the lcd whilst removing the old glass, I've done that before on an iPad, they are different products, but removing just the glass is pretty much the same thing. I hope this helps

[@KozmikProduction]

Thanks. Easiest tutorial on youtube to follow🖒. Only problem is the home button not working so I have to use the digital one.

[@WILLZE]

Very detailed and the close up uncut footage is really helpful. I hate ifix it videos edited rushed rubbish! Thanks 🤘😎

[@anbagenciadenoticiasbrasil1695]

Very good video, objective and very well explained. Thank you very much

[@bobbi589]

Brilliant video, wouldn’t have been able to do it without watching this! Keep up the good work!

[@kensynperez2510]

I like this vid because it is so much things that you do a great job

[@thesedrik18]

perfect video.... help me a lot. thank you.

[@julianmarksuk]

Excellent step by step guide. I followed this carefully and replaced the cracked screen on my wife's i-phone. Now she loves me even more!

[@Dan_Murphy]

Your videos help a lot since I tend to fix my friends and family's devices a lot. Had to recently replace my mother-in-law's iPad Pro screen but there weren't any videos about it so it was a little stressful. Luckily it turned out good since the replacement screen was so expensive, lol. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos.

[@afk4lfe]

Excellent video. Only thing I would add is you could use more heat gun for adhered parts.

[@janagrrrl]

Great tutorial!

[@piecetoyou8285]

Great video Thank you, I would just like to add not much look with the gasket , Here is what happens when a gasket is not placed on well,When your phone gets warm you could find the top half of the phone in the middle could lift slightly , I use a method`Where once the gasket and touch screen has been fitted and the bottom screws are replaced,I then warm the phone up with hair dryer then place heavy books on top and leave for 30 minutes,this seems to give an overall good even pressure to the adhesive .Never had issue with my phones lifting slightly later on, But nice camera work you showed great close ups where needed,

[@johncimino651]

Very good explanation of what to do !👍

[@plamenbaev5177]

Does the fingerprint and home button work after changing the display?

[@glasfactor]

Done! Thanks. The guide is great!!! Issues I had included a couple of damaged screw heads that I had to loosen up with a sharp tool. Worked, but was tight to get really stuck!

[@ambercarr5405]

How did you do it

[@glasfactor]

What do you mean? :-) I followed the film, it’s a little under pressure work and takes really time like three-four hours. But take your time.

[@deanmysliwiec]

Thank you. I don't always fix iPhone 7 devices so the home button always fools with my mind. Good video.

[@hurffyt]

iPhone 7: All went well. Thanks for the thorough instructions! Watching your hand work was amazing. (Do you play guitar?)

[@Joeboken]

Nice in depth video. Why would I need to remove all those components if I just want to replace the screen? Couldn't I just disconnect the screen and install the replacement?

[@1phonedoctor174]

thank you very much

[@seafoodinspectors6206]

Where are you selling the gasket alignment tool?

[@diggerlenny4836]

Really helpful video. I prefer when the camera looks down from rite above what your working on. Just get a better view that way but i understand that can be awkward aswel so faur enuf Thanks

[@er_ikg565]

which is the best way to dig out the ambient light filter and transfer it to the new phone?

[@n4rek840]

Really good video , where did you buy your screen ,?

[@saurabh_naik1]

hey after changing the display are we able to use 3d touch on it plz let me no

[@danroden8561]

Successful repair, thank you! I also want to learn that cool screw trick where you position it with the side of your hand that's actually holding the part in place. :)

[@harrymoradi6761]

thanks man

[@Docarmo422]

Thank you so much

[@salvadorlopez527]

Can I forego the gasket? I don't care if its water resistant but will the screen still stick to the phone?

[@kylereed9384]

Hi when opening iphone 7 I accidentally ripped the bands on the left Does it matter since the new screen has new bands?

[@giorgioazmouz2209]

Great video!

[@nieshacolson6492]

Thank you

[@michel.spiegel]

Perfect walk through, worked perfectly. I can't thank you enough!

[@jonatanhugo]

Is it possible to change out the home button on iPhone 7? Or is it only a Apple thing to do?

[@Alfvonfredo]

I’m having an issue with my home button after replacing the screen it doesn’t work to close apps but works with Touch ID.

[@bonzokaye]

These screws are so easy to ‘round’ a plastic bag saved me I placed it over the screw and the bag seemed to fill in the gap I hope it works for you as I didn’t have a balloon like I have read saved others

[@Mahigeer1]

I saw that home button screw is shorter than the other three screws. Is it true?

[@piinocchiio5730]

I got an iphone 7 model number a1660. Icloud unlocked but apparently this model number has a recall. Talked to apple customer support to see if phone was still covered under recall. Turns out I still have a year to get this phone in. My problem is that the screen is cracked and they are going to try and charge me $150. From doing a little research it seems they will notice if you have a "3rd party screen" on your iphone if i tried replacing it myself. Do you think i can get away with installing an actual replacement screen from an identical model that isn't cracked? Thanks :)

[@martinferruggiaro4897]

Hi, the screewdrivers for iphone 7 are the same as for the rest of iphone 4,5 and 6 or we need a new one?

[@tuolitechscreenprotector]

yes ,different : )

[@raajua1178]

relay good job bro

[@pasbanmobilerepair9430]

good job

[@javaryoung6008]

Just cracked my phone so I really hopes this work

[@lexicolon747]

i wish this video would help except the fact that adding tape simply will not work for me to suction my screen off is there another thing i could do?

[@akhilesh.ad1399]

AMAZING

[@welovebubbletea]

for the home button bracket, what are the screws called and where can I buy spares mine have all stripped so I'm struggling to take them out to replace my screen ugh

[@bonzokaye]

Asia Ho The same happened to me I put a plastic bag over the screen and it workedVery frustrating as the screws are so tiny

[@adeebhumayun3229]

tysm tysm @icracked

[@birdandthe]

when i tried to refit the screen connetor cover plate it would not fit !! the camera above prevents it moving up enough, it was in the correct position so that is a mystery

[@didoortiz1048]

as a current itech when i order iPhone 7 screens they already come with the thermal plate in place. the issue i come across often is that the display cables are not properly aligned underneath the plate. Not sure if this is a quality control issue but its rather bothersome as this causes pressure on the screen which in turn causes the bright spots others are mentioning. what is your suggestion? take the plate off? or send it back for rma? I've had issues in the past with submitting a RMA only to be told its something that i am causing. what are your thoughts?

[@chrisbranston2805]

It depends, submitting and RMA that is accepted means a free repair/replacement, but if they reject it they could void your warranty, small chance but its a risky one, so the choice is yours really, it depends how much it is bothering you.

[@jadm.215]

It seems impossible to unscrew the tri-point and phillips screws inside the phone. I'm using the tool kit that comes with the replacement screen bought over Ebay. do i need to buy a proper screwdrivers?

[@HezekiahDomowski]

I'm running into the same problem right now. I got a cheap kit that seemed to have good reviews, but the tri screwdriver was all jacked up. I was able to get out a few of them, but the others won't come. I just bought a real driver kit on Amazon and paid for one day shipping out of desperation.

[@umok5434]

Did it work tho
