If you haven't had this pointed out already, your pixellated apple logo was caused by using a bitmap file type (perhaps a PNG). You'll need a vector graphic format to get those clean lines. An Illustrator, AutoCad or SVG (depending on what the laser machine accepts). Good luck!
Side note, DONT rub off the screen adhesive with your fingers, the side of the housing is SHARP and I can’t explain how many times I’ve sliced my finger on it.
It’s wild how tough those back plates are to remove! Seems super dangerous to have so many small pieces of glass around. I miss the ease of the iPhone 4 era replacements.
@@davidkorcak Ultimately, it would be better to also have the back glass easily removable, and not only the screen. Plus, as you mentioned, the software lock doesn't make the repairs easy. These two things are not exactly "environmentally friendly".
@@davidkorcak the software paring is actually a good feature cause it makes sure u don't get some low quality crappy garbage screen sold to u as original. So u will know easily if someone scams you paying a lot money for a crappy knockoff display
It says when you buy it on iFixit whether it's an OLED or LCD (sometimes only one or the other is available). Still dumb that they offer the crap quality LCD at all though, nobody wants that when they get their phone back from the repair shop and it also negatively affects resell value.
Yeah Apple has the display messages for a reason a lot of everyday people could get screwed over by places like ifixit because they are constantly told that the parts they give are great
I had like 150 phones since 1998. and I sold them, repaired them, and I am doing it still. I only managed to destroy one like this, an Iphone 8. It fell out of my pocket 5m on concrete...
Hugh, i have no background in repairs whatsoever. I'm a business course graduate. But seeing how expensive iphone repairs cost, i tried to learn repairing my own devices. Since discovering your channel, i've repaired a 6S, SE 2016 and an X. Batteries, displays as well as camera modules. Thank you so much for all the knowledge you continue to share to everyone.
Hugh, When you remove and reinstall the water/dust resistance seal it goes good? still possible to get ip68 water resistance or we cant trust in the phone waterproofing again?
From experience the water proof seal that apple uses is much stronger than the one any repair uses. Basically the seal is just dust resistance and splash proof maybe rain resistance and that's about it. If you drop it in a pool of water, toilet etc the phone will likely just now be water damaged. Which is why When I repair a phone for a client I tell them the phone is no longer water resistance like when they purchased it new.
I don't think so, because LG service center which visited they use some vacuum machine to ensure its air tight and then run some built-in hardware test to check it's ip protection.
I don't know why, but all my previous phones had no issues with screens cracking as long as I had a proper screen protector. But first my iPhone X got a crack and now my iPhone XS. These new displays have for sure some weak spots which can't get protected by a simple screen protector. I'm doing hard physical work and can't avoid damage to my phones because I need my phone with me all the time. Let's see if the OnePlus 9 Pro will survive this time.
Honestly I've heard good and bad things about ifixit displays. Some say they're great, others say their part quality is terrible. Thats why I always buy OEM used parts when I fix an iphone or even a samsung phone for that matter
If Apple doesn't want us to repair, then how do you get new OEM Apple parts? Is there a back door at the Apple store with an unscrupulous genius selling them for cash? Do you meet him in an alley, selling from the trunk of his car?
@@keepingdistance4404 na, I buy them on ebay. They're used, not brand new. A small price to pay for top tier display quality. In all honesty though, they're not much more cost wise than a good quality aftermarket screen. For example, I recently bought a pretty darn good condition iPhone xs screen for $109. It was OEM, and only had a few smaller scratches. It works perfectly
Here’s a little something you should definitely look into one day. I bought a 64GB iPhone XS for about AU$300 (listed as a X) 3 months ago. The back glass is cracked, and the charging port doesn’t work, as one of the pins in the port is broken (headphones still work though). After it arrived I looked into replacing the port, and found out that Apple put some thermal sensor on the charging port flex for the iPhone X onwards. Most aftermarket ports don’t have this, so if you put one of them on a phone running iOS 13 or later, it’ll restart every 3 minutes. And on iOS 14, the phone will be very laggy as well. Some people online said “premium OEM” replacements worked for them, so I bought one for roughly AU$20, but it had those exact problems. Apparently one aftermarket port that doesn’t work on one phone may work on another. I’m trying to look for a cheap iCloud locked phone, or maybe even a used housing with an OEM port still in it. For now, I’m stuck with wireless charging as the only way to charge it...
I rocked my old iPhone 6S Plus for 1,200 cycles on it‘s original battery. After good six years it still lived through my day (even with up to 6h screen time). I then upgraded to my now iPhone 12 Pro Max and gave my old one to my uncle who still uses the 6S up until now. Although I consider this to be an exception, the durability is insane (with right maintenance).
you dont have to remove the taptic engine and the speaker to remove the battery, i do this all the time, you could just remove the front tape and then pull up the battery and use alcohol to soften it and then pull it, its easy as that, the tape isnt as strong as the iphone 7 is
iPhone 13: JC1000s Pro-proof by adding a kill chip on the logic board and the connected parts. Attempting to read data using JC1000s Pro will kill device or part. iPhone 14: All parts will pass through Apple online genuineness verification system during power-on. Using any non-genuine parts will kill device.
I'm shortly going to purchase a laser machine. I have been running my own repair business for a few years and I want to get into fixing backs more without replacing the whole housing. Also you dont have to get to the bottom strips of the battery just take the top one out then go in from the top its really easy as the stips dont go over the wireless coil so it gives you a lot of leverage. Plus LCD won't damage the phone that originally had OLED
I don’t usually post much comments here but i’ve been watching your videos since early 2017 and today was inspired to create a custom factory gold iphone 7 with a black screen with a board swap. It runs iOS 12.1 but unfortunately is a 32gb. But i love the channel and keep it up. You are the person i watch to learn how to work on and customize phones.
Hugh, if you want a slightly easier time getting the back glass off, you can use the laser on the wireless charging coil area as long as it’s like 1 pass at
Hey Hughes I noticed that u said that the laser printing for the back glass panel was pixilated. It’s because it’s the glass and not the metal back on the metal back the laser has a smoother surface to print out unlike the glass hence the pixilated message. Like so he can see the comment
Any of you screen replace an iPhone 8 Plus? I have done it twice with refurbished screens but the true tone on both are still disabled even after reprogramming and I have used iCopy Plus and JC V1S. Other iPhones like 8, X and XS I have screen replaced never had this issue. The original screens, if you put it back on works fine with true tone, even without it you can just use JC repair assistant. I have bought the Ho5 screen recently to see if that works. Everything is original except the replacement screen.
That feeling when you can pick up a mint iPhone XS on Swappa for cheaper than a new XR... lol. I would still choose the XS over the 12, because of it's nice design. Not a really big fan of the newer designs, other than the square body on the 12. The camera layout kinda looks a bit weird to me. I also notice there's less speaker and mic grilles on the newer iPhone's (maybe a water resistant thing)? Not sure, but I kinda feel like the XS speakers and mics sound the same, if not, better imo.
Could you please tell us whether the replacement battery you use is good. Apparently its from Crazyparts and a review would be great. Thanks and keep up the good work.
The print failure looks a lot like what happens when I get sent a bitmap file for my laser engraver, I don’t know what format your file was but if it wasn’t a vector then might be a place to start, if you’ve access to Adobe illustrator or I think Inkscape is an open source alternative then try exporting your design as a .svg file - if that doesn’t work there are other formats, see what the software is compatible with
The Logos where .svg files but I created the image into a jpeg because I couldn't export as a .svg. I used a jpg for my previous attempt and it worked fine.
@@HughJeffreys how strange, it looked a little bit like when indesign can’t find the original file and just have a low resolution preview but I can’t imagine how that would be the case. Do you have to use the supplied software with it or are there drivers so you can use it like a conventional printer, because illustrator has quite good support for using CNC devices like engravers and routers. But that would require setting up new print presets, which is what I do all the time, it’s just a bit of a pain. But I think I’ve just run out of speculation - I’m now very interested to see you get it sussed, keep up the good work you’re an inspiration
You are correct with the lcd part Hugh. LCD replacement screens for iPhones with a factory oled are absolutely terrible. Even the highest quality ones. Every single phone that I installed an lcd instead of an oled would give me problems. So I finally gave up buying lcds and am sticking with oled

My screen fr the XS Max does not turn on so I am trying to change the screen. I bought a "pro" set of tools for electronics with over 100 parts.

Hey man, I need some help. I see that in your every restoration video you have used iPhone batteries from Crazy parts. How is the quality of these batteries? Are they good ? My 5 year old iphone SE is dying. I bought a couple of new batteries from Amazon, one of them got swollen after just 1 month of use and the other one barely gives 2 hours of screen on time. I am searching for a good quality battery that won't swell up and explode.
I have a laser and on it I can adjust the Speed, Power, Frequency (SPF). On mine for pictures I find if I lower the speed it will help with clarity of pictures. If you can change your spf you may be able to engrave other things. I recommend that if you do this that you start with a new file so you don’t mess with the laser files for the back glass.
I had an iPhone X given to me early last year that had the screen replaced with a bad LCD. Turns out that did damage the logic board, the display would glitch out and stop working, and to eventually it just stopped powering on.
Actually Android is way better Android doesn't pair each phone part and allows any kind of app to be downloaded Also,Android Smartphones have way more features and they are way more affordable too
The laser machine is so cool. Kinda reminds me of what a villain would use to torture/kill the good guy while explaining his dastardly plan before being thwarted by the good guy.

Woah that lower quality display panel is from ifixit 🙄
The non genuine display message is there for a reason lol this happens all the time
@@4js123 bro I’m talking about the LCD panel instead of the LED.. watch the video till end.. I’m not talking about non-genuine display message. I’m talking about the quality of the panel from ifixit
@@sahil4011sk bruh I’m sayin people are continually told that ifixit has genuine parts and are good quality when they are not the non genuine display message pops up because a lot of people can get scammed thinking they got something that is better then in reality
@@4js123 yeah bro I totally agree with you. I also think ifixit sells low quality replacement parts and yeah that non-genuine popup is fantastic in helping the customer realising that the part is not what they paid for
Watching your videos it really inspires me and also gives me confidence to fix my own gadgets when they need repair! :D Awesome video as always!
Hey man, I need some help. I see that in your every restoration video you have used iPhone batteries from Crazy parts. How is the quality of these batteries? Are they good ? My 5 year old iphone SE is dying. I bought a couple of new batteries from Amazon, one of them got swollen after just 1 month of use and the other one barely gives 2 hours of screen on time. I am searching for a good quality battery that won't swell up and explode.
I have a laser and on it I can adjust the Speed, Power, Frequency (SPF). On mine for pictures I find if I lower the speed it will help with clarity of pictures. If you can change your spf you may be able to engrave other things. I recommend that if you do this that you start with a new file so you don’t mess with the laser files for the back glass.
I will for sure miss the housing replacements :/
Perfect timing hugh! Ive been staying up just for u, time to enjoy :)
Is this Zak butt? LMFAOOOOOOOO
I think you should use vector graphic rather than raster graphic to get great results out of pictures.
Why is ur voice so calming
I had an iPhone X given to me early last year that had the screen replaced with a bad LCD. Turns out that did damage the logic board, the display would glitch out and stop working, and to eventually it just stopped powering on.
buying hugh's repaired iphones will be more reasonable than buying new android phones.
Actually Android is way better
Android doesn't pair each phone part and allows any kind of app to be downloaded
Also,Android Smartphones have way more features and they are way more affordable too
The laser machine is so cool. Kinda reminds me of what a villain would use to torture/kill the good guy while explaining his dastardly plan before being thwarted by the good guy.
Too bad the good guy can’t die because plot shield...
@@tan-vr4ds sometimes the good guy dies though but not in this case
That pixelated Apple logo looks awesome tbh
Still rocking the Xs one of the best phones Apple ever made.
Am I the only person that actually fixed phones and watch this content while taking notes with a paper?
Try to convert your logo to dxf format for custom look with no pixel. Use fill to fill outline if not filled.
You probably need vector images (such as SVG or EPS-Files) to not be lasered pixelated. That would explain why the text was clear.
After watching your videos I've now started repairing phones and I feel like I've done it hundreds of times having seen your videos so often haha
Love your videos; but honestly they raise my anxiety.
The pixelated apple logo was mad cool tho
