- UNPLUG YOUR BATTERY FIRST! My phone was fine, But safety first. Unplug the battery first thing before unplugging anything else. The battery should be the last thing reconnected as well.

Let me know if you need any specific parts, or if those links stop working!!!
This video will show you the process for replacing an iPhone 6s screen. There are a few differences between the iPhone 6 and 6s screens. The screens are not interchangeable. None of the parts are. There is also a bit of adhesive around the screen of this phone that holds it onto the body. Let me know if you have any questions!

With so many videos I'm receiving 100's of messages each day and I'm finding it impossible to find enough time to reply to them all.
I was spending more hours each week answering all the comments than I was making these videos.

PLEASE unplug the battery FIRST! My phone did not have any issues, but other people have.
Unplugging the battery first is the safest way to open up your device.
Thanks As I’m just about to replace my mums 6s screen
U back after 4 years here Lmao
@@MadCuzUBroke I'm everywhere
Hahahaha Nice
@@JerryRigEverything I tried fixing my phone, but it semi-works. The LCD is a little dim and I can't see anything on the screen, but it makes this DEN-den-dun-dun-den sound when I plug it in to charger. Additionally, it makes that charging port sound (when you insert iPhone into charger it makes a 'houng' sound). So what's wrong with it. ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED. Not a phone expert.
***PLEASE HELP SOMEBODY***
When you're following along feeling all confident and you hear a crunch
😭I FEEL YOU
"... aaand get that crunch"
"I dont know what it does, but its probably important" - me on every other repair
I offered my experiences with the little lasso in a post. It does something.
rudomainmaster what does it do?
Part of my post: "I'm guessing that goes around what may be an EMI shield. With the unit I did, that strap appeared to keep that shield can up and as close to the earpiece assembly as possible. If not positioned exactly as it was found, it causes a spot of discoloration near the top of the screen in the finished product."
it is called an O-ring and it helps control water from getting further inside the phone
i was about to type that comment lol
Just wanted to say I fixed a terribly cracked screen for a friend today and I had no problems at all following this video and getting everything working. I had no problems and this is the first time I’ve ever done something like this. Thank you for the helpful video!
Can't thank you enough! Although the assembly that I purchased already had the speaker and camera assemblies included, the rest was unbelievably informative. I was done in around 45 minutes total. Can't thank you enough. I'll definitely be sharing your channel with any friends or family that need to do this sort of DIY work. You saved me $130 compared to taking it into MacHQ for service! That and I learned something new! Thank you!
Cheers Jerry, finished my first phone repair
zack* jerry is his grandpa
Who is sitting here with a smashed screen ☹️
RhiRhi x dropped mine on a rock fr
RhiRhi x me 😪
Chronic RJ I threw mine because it died at %47
Me
I frickin dropped mine on CONCRETE while RUNNING before, and then I dropped it face down on my floor and its completely shattered. and im so sad 😭
Got to give you thanks for a great video. This was my first screen replacement I've ever done. I bought the whole screen assembly with the camera, home button and earpiece ($30), but I did swap my home button over to the new screen for the thumbprint features. Everything went exactly as mentioned in this video without issue. My phone works and looks like a new phone. Even after 6 years, your video continues to help. Big Thanks!!!
Did you have to take it all apart just to change the home button?
@@alanchadfield736 Yeah, kinda you need to dissasemble the old home button and just put it in place if the new screen doesnt have it already
Probably the best video I've ever watched on TH-cam for DIY. No extra dialogue about your mom's phone or what your cat's shit looked like this morning lmao. Great job and thank you for walking this jerry rig everything from curbing on trash days to soldering burnt fuses back together, through another scheme to save money and earn prestige amongst the simple folk lol
Always disconnect the battery first once you have the screen and frame separated! You can cause issues if you allow current to pass through the phone when removing the screen ribbons, especially if you make the silly mistake of using a metal tool to pry up the ribbon connectors.
shattered my phone today and the guy at the mall said he would fix it for 200$😂😭 im bout to fix it myself
bol 😭😭😭😭
200? holy jeez..
200 if Apple does it without voiding your warranty for 99? Insane.
It's
$129 or $149 (depending on if it's a 6 or 6 plus) to buy a screen I would've just let him fix it
Lol no its not. Actually Iphone 6 screens cost as low as 25-35 dollars. Iphone 6s screens are 90 dollars now and they were 110 dollars three months before my comment.
I like how apple made the screen and battery more user accessible on the newer iPhones. Replacing a screen on the old 4/4S gen was a nightmare for example.
changing the back was fin tho
dsteward85 hahhahaha wait till you see the procedure for the iphone 8 and iphone x. Not to mention the cost. Lol
How about now?
iphone 5-SE were only slightly harder than this. I love the approach they're talking.
steve jobs would be angry to hear that, he wanted people to stay put of iphones
DISCONNECT THE BATTERY FIRST! I just messed up my phone not doing that and burned something now lcd is not working.
Efren Romero same here
Efren Romero how do u disconnect the battery?
Jose E. How do you disconnect battery ?
@@skypie2083 BOI!!!
Thanks
I thought by watching this video I could replace the screen myself.
Sod that, I shall take it to the local Mobile shop. Good luck to those who are brave enough to undertake this task.
Lol
Myfanwy Rees i was about to walk away and take the phone in pieces 🤦🏻♂️to the local Arab phone 📲 shop 🙄😂😂😂 to finish the job, but i just went for some fresh air, came back in, turn on the light 💡in the room and finished the job myself, after hours... I’m proud of myself, 😂😂😂😂
I dont have a credit card if i had one i would order the kit myself lol and repair it
Lmao u were weak. I DID THIS 1ST TRY 😂

Yeh. But I’m a bloody good Criminal Lawyer. So, if ever you find yourself under arrest, I’m your girl 😂
I bought a new phone. Glad you managed it.
Remain safe.
This was an AMAZING video !! Just fixed my phone and im so excited I never have to pay for a repair again. THANK YOU !!!
My favorite part of this video is at 3:25 where he says "it's actually pretty easy to get this ribbon cable back in" and then jump cuts past the entire process of putting it back in to where it's already reconnected.
Yeah, let me just jump cut the actual phone repair.
Don't jump cut the actual process, Jerry.
That's what people are here to see, Jerry.
hey thats my favorite part too
Facts I'm just sitting here and dont know how to put it bac on
Jerry , good vid, I would for good practice, suggest that once open. Disconnect the battery first. I have found this to be a very helpful. in repairs of any device. Thumbs up!
If anyone attempts this make sure you disconnect the battery too... shorted the backlight doing this
Try just using home+power reset method. I never disconnect the battery, just insure the phone is off and I've never seen this issue and I do quite a lot of iPhones.
I HAVE seen where somebody lifted the screen, took off the plate and then powered it down.. but as soon as they used the slider they removed the flex connectors and it blew the filter. Thing is the phone wasn't actually off in this situation. You can tell because if you look at it from the side, the LCD is black but the backlight is still on. I imagine in this case you can potentially damage the backlight filter.
does the phone stop working because of this as I was connecting the screen to the motherboard it sparked
Me too 😔
Just did this without disconnecting the battery and it sparked and now wont turn on
@@mmz12 Thank you for information, my iPhone didn't turn on but it was making noises so I tried your method and it worked.
Thanks so much for this! I was able to replace my phone screen with no issues. I particularly appreciated the pdf for keeping track of screws :)
thank you so much for this!! fixing the screen was very stressful, but it worked perfectly and everything seems to be running smoothly so far. you're a life saver!! :)
Thanks bro! If I see you in the bar, I'll get you any drink!
Just used these instructions and it worked!! I had to replug the final three straps about 6 separate times, but it worked eventually. Cheers, really chuffed about this.
Warning, disconnect your battery before disconnecting the screen or else you will blow the backlight filter, happened to me
If you leave the phone on and notice the backlight not working after the repair, just use home+power until Apple logo. It'll work. Turning the phone off will suffice, disconnecting the battery is an unnecessary step.
mmz12 do I turn it off fully
Bryant Unknown do i turn it off fully
Yessir, hold the power button and swipe off. Or hold power+home past when the Apple logo appears and it will be off if your digitizer is damaged and touch isn't working. Or just disconnect the battery before the LCD. It's just two screws, a small plate and pop it off with a spudger or fingernail. Should pop off really easy, if it's hard you're probably too far under and about to scratch something off the logic board lol
Not so much a chip as it is a microscopic filter. lol And yes if it shorts then this won't work, but I'm not understanding how that's being done unless the phone is still on, or the flex was disconnected moments after turning it off. In that situation the LCD would appear black but the phone actually takes a few seconds after that to turn off and you can tell by looking from the side that the backlight is still on.
I think a lot of people get in over their head and rush it. If unfamiliar with these types of repairs or electronics in general they'll definitely do more damage than they will save money. :( I see it all the time in my shop.
Thanks to you Jerry, I've managed to extend my Iphone 6S lifecycle! I've already followed your tutorials to replace the battery, the charging port and now the screen. Your videos are super well made, simple and clear to understand. A giant thumbs up for The Screen screw chart included, had a good laugh at the (Don't sneeze) mention :-) Thanks again for these great vdos.
Thanks so much, saved me a ton of money getting it officially repaired! Less than £20 for a screen, half an hour of nervous fixing and all done!
mattchoo2610 hey there! Where did you get your screen? Please send a link lol also does the 3D touch still work? Thanks!
How many from here already lost one or two screws (after the 3 minute of the vid & took over an hour to put it together 🙄😂😂😂, over all good vid.
Is it okay to have extra screws in the end 😂😂 I don’t remember the screw order! Is there a pdf layout? Lol I’m just kidding ❤️🙏🏽
6 years later and still saving people tons of cash.....this is what TH-cam is all about, thanks ma-man !!!
Finally, a how-to video that cuts to the chase. None of that rambling BS of words that don't matter to getting the job done. Your links were great, the PDF was perfect, and you told me everything I needed to know to get the job Done. This is one of the best tutorial videos I have ever seen. Thank you.
Awesome! This is just what I needed to successfully replace the screen on my phone this evening, thanks!!!
Thanks Jerry, by watching your video to repair my phone for the first time I’ve blown the backlight filter because you FAILED to tell us to remove the battery before touching the screen!! Please please save this happening to more people by adding something to your title or annotate the video...
Thank you. My screen started to heat up near the camera when I first plugged the new screen in and tried to turn it on. Then I saw the comments to disconnect the battery. So I found another video, disconnected the battery, reseated the connectors, connected the battery, and the screen turned on. Hallelujah! Thanks for the video.
thanks you're the best, no long intros, gets right into it, fast and very informative. followed every step had no problems whatsoever.
This guide is amazing, everyone can do it
Thanks for the guide, much harder than it looks took me 2 hours. Cheers :)
Took me 7 👁👄👁
OK...everything working! Thank you!! Your video and organizer made things so easy...Thank you!!!!
Thank you so much! I replaced the battery recently and, soon afterward, my screen started having a couple of vertical lines that wouldn't disappear, and then one more drop and the screen was filled with lines and unresponsive. I have just finished using your video to replace the screen, and while it was certainly more tedious than the battery replacement, it worked and the phone is recharging and with a fresh screen image. Thanks again!
Excellent video without all the time consuming screwing in of screws etc. You are my go to source. Thank you.
Broke the touch id flex cable in the process, a warning ⚠️ should be added when lifting screen up. And battery discharged or disconnected before replacing new screen
First time I've replaced a screen and it all went well. PDF was great and you pointed out many pitfalls. Thanks Jerry!
Your videos makes it so easy to repair the screen. Thank you!
dude I just wrecked my phone following your instructions because you didn't mention anything about discharging or disconnecting the battery first!
Costas Constantinou just fucked mine up too man. Did u get it fixed yet?
Me too
Nelson Arias same.
me too
Costas Constantinou ha
Thanks for the video, Jerry - except for that like many others, I also bricked my 6S because I followed your instructions (lack of) and did not disconnect the battery beforehand. I will take the blame, but you should really take this video down from TH-cam, and prevent future heartache for others.
Thank you! I like the high quality of the video, always on focus and that it is very concise. Straight to the point. It was hard to condense all this information in such a short video. Great job!
Thanks a lot for this Zack. I didn't know what I was going to do with my old 6s. Now I don't hate using it!
Thank you much for this tutorial! I was able to fix my phone by myself yesterday:) yay!
Berlin Hazardous 🤡
The Phillips screwdrivers that come in the eBay screens are OK if you don't allow them to slip. Once they start slipping, you're screwed. Get some quality hardened steel tipped Phillips screwdrivers and you won't have that problem. Once the cheapo screwdrivers start slipping you can see that soft metal was used to make it and hence, they won't grab the screws. You must hold firm pressure and start slowly when loosening and same in reverse when putting back together. Granted not everyone has the dexterity to do this fine work. If you're not distracted, you should be OK. Just no slipping/gouging allowed, and put a couple white sheets of paper down with a few pieces of scotch tape taped down sticky side up to deposit screws in their order of removal. Any tape will do. Just tape it down at edges with sticky side up. Sketch out metal covers with pen or pencil around the tape if need be to help with that. Biggest thing is having quality tools. Makes a big difference. Also, a couple pairs of tweezers...sharp pointed skinny ones, a single edge razor blade, magnifying glass, flashlight, close up glasses like walmart sells, guitar pick, suction cup. Most of these items come with the eBay screens but it never hurts to have a little more. Lastly...buy and use a good case like an otter box so you don't have to go through this every two months!!!!! Sick and tired of seeing all these people without any protection!!!
Thank you; I appreciate the brevity!
Just did mine following this tutorial!! Great video!
Thanks, I successfully repaired a iphone 6s from a friend, watching your video.
Greetings from Uruguay
Hola Pablo pienso hacer lo mismo con el mio, tuviste algun inveniente? saludos
Hola, ninguno por suerte, es de mucha ayuda imprimir la hoja con la ubicación de los tornillos y piezas, después solo tener mucho cuidado y seguir el procedimiento
buenisimo gracias, usaste el kit de iFix?
No, ya tenia las herramientas, si consigues los kits de Kamasa son económicos y duraderos
graciassss un abrazo
"That little lasso" - does it actually do anything though? It won't fit around the metal part on the new screen I have and I doubt it will lay properly unless I cut it off.
Did you ever find out if the lasso part mattered?
I found out it didn't, cause I snipped it and nothing has happened related to it. (I had some issues, but it had to do with the screen I bought.)
it has to do with weather sealing properly
I broke mine trying to lasso it. Phone seems fine. Appears to be a seal of sorts, probably not very important if you care for your device.
I broke it off and it didn't matter.
Awesome! Thanks for the simple step by step. Can't believe I just replaced my own screen!
Replaced the screen and battery on an iPhone 6S yesterday using this video. Thanks!
I do still recommend removing the battery before you do anything and reconnecting it right at the end.
Need my screen replacing need a good job as if it was good as new. Where's the best place to go?
Apple
If someone has bought the fixez LCD screen, please tell me and give me a review, I broke my 6S and I want to have the best screen. If you have any other suggestions too that would be great.
Yep, I did. They offer several and having never done this before I bought their "OEM" type replacement. More costly, but far cheaper than taking it to a shop. I replaced two screens, a charging port, and a battery for $85 shipped, and that was including the pricier shipping option, too. I can't speak to the other screens they sell. They may be fine, too. Your call. Good luck!
Fantastic video and clear guidance, worked very well for me. Thank you
Best video for 6s screen replacement. Awesome job!
the screen itself is $125 on the link, doesnt even include tools. Apple charges $129 to do the repair w/o AppleCare. Why even risk it?
Because that is a crappy place to buy the screen other sites will get you much cheaper prices for the same thing. And i mean it when I say that it is the same. Especially older models. Iphone 6, not the 6s, screens are as low as 25-35 dollars now.
Is that just the screen? How about with the digitizer? I've seen the 6s combo go for around 125
KTG you can get good screens for $50... $125 is a ripoff
Hey guy's, I am looking to buy a 6s screen. When i go to the link of Jerry I get to the website fixez.com. When I search for revieuws of the websites I have some doubts. Do you have other suggestions or have you ever ordered at fixez.com?
In my eyes you can only buy screens for $50 from aliexpress or am I wrong?
Hell just hit up eBay. lol They're all either refurb or aftermarket. None of them are "oem" or "original". If you're paying more than 40 bucks you're getting ripped off. Also, just but the glass/LCD. Don't buy the whole thing with prox sensor/home button/backplate. Just transfer that stuff over unless your earpiece/proximity sensor/home button or front facing camera don't work. Also if you don't swap over your home button YOU WILL NEVER HAVE TOUCH ID AGAIN. Just saying.
Argh!!!! Wish I'd read the comments below before attempting. I didn't disconnect the battery and blew my phone. PLEASE UPDATE YOUR VIDEO TO INCLUDE DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY!!!!! Multiple victims of this.
CHRISTOPHER HORSLEY did your screen break immediately ? The backlight?
Or does it happen slowly like after a month of screen Replacement
Awesome, thanks a lot, my daughter is really happy with her new screen :)
One tip if some do what I did first, make sure the two ribbon cables are behind the camera cable before you try to attach them to the board, mine where in the way of each other until I realised. The lasso on my earpiece was broken and it all works well without it to so don’t worry there either.
Once again, thanks, a good clear tutorial
Thanks so much for posting this video! It worked with your help, a miracle:)
You didn't mention that if you don't disconnect the battery first there is a great possibility of destroying the backlight filter (a component on the motherboard that controls the, guess what, the backlight of the lcd)! Also the little plastic casing for the proximity sensor must be first attached to the sensor itself and then on the new lcd assembly in order for it to work properly. Also by any means don't mess up with your home button otherwise you will be left without touch ID.
P.S.: this "little yellow thing" is the siri microphone
faugeron alexandre this is a motherboard issue, it can be fixed but it very expensive
It kind common knowledge to disconnect power to something before you work on it but sorry if you Brook your phone
This. If you break your home button, a replacement won't have touch ID.
this is the only thing that people talk about...
This was so great! I noticed that when I did not follow your EXACT instructions I almost burnt my battery. However I was paying attention and assumed it was because I was not doing exactly what you did. As soon as I stopped and followed instructions it was fine. Another issue is that I was unable to remove the screws that held the metal plate. I totally messed the part up but it all worked out in the end. Thanks so much!
very detailed, practical and useful video. I just replaced my broken screen with new one myself with your help of course ;-)
Thanks man. I ordered a $35 replacement kit on amazon and your video took me through it!
Hi, you said you would make a video on how to transfer the home button connector. I'm working on a 6s for a friend and his screen doesn't have the home button connector. Did you make the video and if so, where is it? Thanks.
im needing this too. any help?
Terry C. I want to know if he did as well
Terry C. Help
Did anyone get that video or it fixed? Greatly appreciate any help.
.
Did you guys find the way to do it?
Okay, now I'm confused. So after I hooked up the two wire harnesses as shown all I'm getting is a blinking screen with the Apple logo showing each time. What does this mean? Is this good or bad? What should I do?

Visilicious your ribbon cables probably have a loose connection or the screen is just faulty
Thanks so much for this video and the PDF file! They helped tremendously! One caveat though... my replacement screen (ordered from your link above) had a longer connector than the camera connector (the last three elements to attach), so, i had to curve the cables around each other before putting the plate back on to secure them. It was tight and I wasn't sure if bending the cables would cause the phone not to work, but it has all of it's capabilities so far!
thanks! alot of help, i was missing 4 screws at the end, and i snapped that "important" thing around, but its working like a charm :P
I get stuck after the first part bc 3/4 screws come out and the last one doesn't come out

Great tutorial, only thing I did different was unplug the battery. Saved my self some money with your video. Thank you!
I too ruined my phone because you did not mention the fact that you should disconnect the battery before proceeding with the replacement. Very unfortunate indeed. I am aware that it is my own fault, but I do think you should have mentioned it as I can see I am not the only one who have ended up with a useless phone.
eec so if you were going to take apart your tv or microwave your first move wouldn't be to check that its not plugged in? He doesn't mention it because its so simple you'd have to be completely unaware that electricity is a thing. Its common sense man.
get ths guy offline, hundreds of people now sitting with eve more unusable phones and wasted money because you cant tell us to disconnect the battery, despicable

Just fixed mine successfully. You need good eyes and a clean work space. A head torch also helped me. I didn't unplug the battery because I read the comments AFTER doing the job but it didn't cause me any issues. The screen I bought was £14.92p from eBay. Thanks for the clear, easy to follow video JerryRigEverything!
I frickin dropped mine phone on CONCRETE while RUNNING before, and then I dropped it face down on my floor and its completely shattered. I dont think ive ever been this pissed in my whole life.

That’s dope.. mines fell over 20 times and has cracked 20 times.
I buy the screen for 12$ and change it in 10 min lmao
I don’t even get mad anymore when it cracks
Is there a difference between a iphone 6s and 6 screen
Yes, the connections are different. And you can not swap them between phone models.
yea since the 6s has 3d touch
Don't be cheat you bought a iPhone6s for a reason these phones are luxury if you want something cheap go buy a shitty phone.. don't treat you're phone like it's cheap go the extra mile and just get the proper screen.
+Clorox bleach i an not being cheap I ain't know
+Clorox bleach Thats a little unfair to call him a cheat, not everyone has that much money. It's good to save money on phones because they loose value so quickly.
Awesome explanation!! Thank you so much!!
Your video is one of the best out here but, Do I really need a heat gun as shown on other videos?
I am about to undertake this task and I don't want to fail. Thank you very much !! I appreciate your hard work in making this videos
I did this, but when I open it I still stuck with the apple logo
Same I dont know how to fix it
I did everything just the way you did and my screen wont turn on

@JerryRigEverything great video! Some of the 45-minute long tutorials out there on fixing iPhone screens are painful to sit through. Your video is short & sweet -- and the new screen on my phone is working perfectly!
Thank you!!!! Just did mine successfully , although nerve wrecking for me, I went reallllllly slow..
2 Screws wont come lose on the screen, nice
+Lottie I didn't, The screws would budge so i gave up and sent it away to get fixed
I am having the same problem. Two screws are stuck and I can not take them out by any mean.
If you're using a size too small you can strip the head. If the screw head starts to strip STOP. Go one size larger, press firmly and turn slow. There are ways to remove it even completely stripped but it's not recommended unless you have experience.
None of the screws holding down the shield should ever be "stuck". It's either they were stripped or stripping.
mmz12 I can't get the 6 screws on the back metal plate to unscrew. What are other ways to get them out?
How to replace home button cable?
did you find the way?
sadly no :/
You need special tools, it's possible just more professional, Only the iPhone 6 has the metal plate along with bracket for ID touch to Work..
It'll be easier to just buy a new home button
djambo / but in that case touch id will not work.
Hello, this video was very easy to follow. I of course paused a bunch of times to fix while you spoke, but this was super helpful. Thank You!!!
Here in 2018 and THANK YOU SO MUCH !! I never could have done this by myself. I did break the lasso :-0 so hopefully it is not too important I did put the side pieces of the lasso against the metal just incase it protects from burning something. but anyway - great instruction and LOVED the pdf organizer for the screws. Thank you!
[SOLVED] I did not know that you had to disconnect the battery before starting the process of replacing the screen. So after replacing the screen my phone would NOT turn on. After an hour of re-doing everything with no success, I unplugged the battery and plugged it back in.. and voilà it worked.
Hopefully this helps!
Hey done the same thing, it worked for a little while no then it stopped and went black again! I tried doing it 8again but this time it just flashes the screen once then goes back to black!! Please Help
Jenine Sharland I have the same problem, when I restarted the phone it flashed the home screen fast and went black, the screen responds to my touch, Siri, sound and vibration, but the screen won’t light
@@TheRealValorNation did u fix it i have the same thing
I thought you had to unplug the battery before anything? I've shorted a phone before, I'm not exactly sure what I did wrong, can someone correct me and tell me the right way to do it? Thank you
Yes. Definitely unplug the battery
I don't ever disconnect the battery. Just make sure the phone is off. A lot of people say they short their filter and damage the backlight but I think it's the screen they bought or maybe the flex connector not seated properly? Most of my traffic is iphones at my shop and I don't disconnect the battery and I've never seen where the backlight or any other damage would occur.
Very helpful video . Screw chart very helpful as well.
i never comment on youtube videos but i used this video my first time fixing a screen and i got it perfect the first time. thanks for the information and great tips.
Hi people. Unplug the battery before you start disassembling more, becayse there's a good chance that you'll burn a chip which controls the backlight of the screen. Also be careful with the fingerprint ribbon, it tends to break easily.. I found out these two things by myself. Fuck me.
Light heat and a plastic spudger would be the recommended way to remove the home button assembly. I just use a small flathead screwdriver personally but then I don't have time for the other method.
If you left the phone on that could happen pretty easily. It's not so much about disconnecting the battery as it is turning the phone off. Try just resetting with home+power, most times that will correct what appears to be a dead backlight.
mmz12 Actually the phone was turned off, but the battery was still plugged in. And i know that it was the backlight chip, because I pointed the screen with flashlight and i could see the screen being turned on without backlight. Good advices there tho!
And home+power to reset didn't help? I've seen a lot of times where the backlight goes out and you can't see anything (aside from with a flashlight, like you mentioned) but usually it clears up when doing that. If not then that's some terrible luck, sorry it happened to you!
The same here on the battery. Normally, I remove the battery. But watching this I just did exactly what he did and I think I fried something. He should definitely mention to remove battery cable first.
Why didn't you stress the importance of detaching the battery first before removing the screen ribbon cables? I attempted this repair and after completion, the screen wouldn't turn on (phone turned on fine) because as a result of not unplugging the battery before continuing the repair, something shorted and the Backlight filter (ferrite bead) broke. Long story short, we had to ship the phone out for a microsolder repair for $65 (microsoldering.com). Save yourself the money and detach the battery before performing any repairs on this phone including the replacement of a cracked screen. This ifixit article (step 12: www.ifixit.com/Guide/iPhone+6s+Display+Assembly+Replacement/62900) gets it right, not sure why jerryrigeverything doesn't think it's important?
cooper beaman common sense tells us to unplug anything electrical before service?????????? You remember electricity bud?
Awesome vids! I was able to replace the screen on a 5S plus the charging port, battery, and screen on a 6S. I used the links you provided for parts and everything went as smooth as could be. Prior to this, my wife paid $100 for a half-assed screen replacement on the 6S. The screen blanker never worked after the repair and when I opened it up today, screws were missing and loose. Horrible. I will NEVER let some punk repair our phones again. Thanks, JRE!!!
This was super helpful, I was able to replace my boyfriend’s screen on his old phone. Able to get it working easy because of this video, thank you so much! 😄
I have an iPhone 6s...but the screen isn’t broken 🤣🤷🏻♂️
