I followed this video because I had a messed up charging port and my phone is back to working normal again. One thing that is not mentioned in the video but I picked up on in the comments, is taking a black piece off of the old microphone that you're replacing and putting it on the new microphone. Besides that one part the whole thing went smoothly.
Fast, simple, and straight to the point. Thank you! I replaced the charging port and battery on my old iphone 6, and it works great again. Very grateful. It's like a new phone. Now, if only Apple would let it upgrade to the latest iOS. Oh well, you did a great job. Thanks!
I fixed my phone thanks to your video! Thank you so much! Another thing that helped me was doing something I saw in reviews for the replacement part I bought: draw a picture of all the components inside the phone and use double-sided tape to stick all the screws on the picture where they need to be screwed back in. Worked like a charm, no guesswork for which screws goes where. Very helpful video!
My 6.5 years old thanks for making and posting this video. I wasn't sure if my old iPhone 6, which beyond the charging port and being a bit slow still suited my purposes, was worth repairing. I knew I had a limited budget and zero experience with electronics repairs but figured it would be worth $18 to give it a shot. Other than the one wire attachment that you said took a couple of tries (took me like 20 minutes and gave me a brief sense of panic/frustration) I did it! Thanks again and am subscribing!
Fantastic! I went between your 6 and your 6s videos as you mention a few different aspects of the change out. Of note, the most difficult part for me which was mentioned earlier by other folks was the fact that you need to save your old previous microphone housing and insert it accordingly in the cavity of the phone frame. I had to redo that a couple of times as it didn't line up. And in missing that - it throws off all the alignment of how the entire housing lies in the phone cavity. Also trying out the power before putting back on the metal screen plate was a great tip. Would be awesome if you had a iPhone 6 screw chart like you did for the 6s...but I made my own and leveraged off of your 6s as well. MY 3 hours of studying and replacing probably saved me $6 - $800 for another year or more!!
+Cutter Johnston Woah. You just cured me of months of headaches. I wish I had seen this sooner. Charger works like a charm now. Pulled out a TON of lint. thank you!
Thanks for this video, I replaced my battery and the dock in a half hour. Everything still works! Keeping the screws organized and not dropping any was really important. Thanks again!
Ok, this is old but this was the best video for me. It was clear with still shots to point the screws. I was able to pause at each step, everything was clear. Thanks for this tutorial, my phone is charging right now so I guess I'm good. Cheers! That being said... I second everyone who says you should try to clean the charging port first. I did it too, many times and it worked like a charm after that (just not this time), but please don't use anything metalic, use a wooden toothpick. The first time, the phone was charging but randomly, I wanted to give it a clean up and used a paperclip... boom! It was just not working at all after that. So be careful with the cleaning guys. Now yes, the mic housing, I did see it when disassembling and somehow it stayed against the case so I've left it there, I'll see once my phone is on how good it works. Maybe you, Jerry, should put a little extra note on your video at the right moment to tell people about it ;)
My charging port started playing up weeks ago, instead of sending off to my network provider or apple i got a charge pro for £6 with tools off eBay and followed this tutorial and had it done in no time!! Slightly more than 5 mins as it is the first repair i have done so was taking mega care but all seems to be working great thanks for the help!!!!
IMPORTANT: Do try to take out lint with sharp needle first. My charging port had very compressed lint, that looked like plastic. Make some pressure to take it out. Before: the charging cable could not fit in. Hope this saves someone a work.
How true ! I already had the charging port replacement kit placed in my Amazon cart when my eyes fell on this comment. "What the heck" I thought, "can’t hurt to give it a try and a proper clean" since I wanted to replace the whole lot anyway. And wouldn't you believe it, after cleaning out more dirt and dust than I ever suspected to be accumulated in that small hole, the connector fit well again (with that "click" feel when you insert the plug) and - the phone is charging properly again ! My son is happy, since for the past year he had to put it into a special position to get contact and charge. Nobody was allowed to touch it or be in the vicinity during that process ;-) That's now history thanks to this comment !
Excellent video, didn't have the USB part, so decided to put my phone back together and read the comments! Cutter: The toothpick was all I needed too thanks!
I had an iphone 6 with a broken charger port and another with a destroyed screen. Swapped the good port into the one with the good screen and done!. She works!. Thank you :)
*Don't forget to remove the microphone housing and transfer it over to the new mic. I didn't do this and the phone did not work properly. I had to fully disassemble the phone to fix this. When you remove that housing, it will be difficult because of adhesive but it does come out.
+Isaac Lee BLAH!!! He didn't show this in the video...I totally missed it. A few days later, after everyone kept telling me my phone sounded terrible, I realized something must be wrong with the mic. And after taking the phone apart - I realized this housing is missing!!! My fault, I should have been paying better attention...but yikes, I don't have the old assembly any more - trashed it. Not sure where to get a new mic housing now!
I'm having problems with my mic after replacement too! I can't figure which part you are referring to by "microphone housing", is it recognizable anywhere in the video?
It is the black plastic piece that he is holding with the tweezers at 2:48. Also, watch out for the charging port housing. Mine stayed attached to the old piece rather than the frame. The easiest way to tell: hold your old piece up next to the replacement, the part that is different needs to be transferred to the new components.
hi after I replaced lightning port my loudspeaker stoped working, but i didnt transfer the small microphone housing to the mic is it posible that the loud speaker doesent work because of that? thx
Thank you very much - I used this to change the charging port on my son's iPhone 6 today and had no problems. The cell phone works fine now and my son (aged 13) thinks dad is really clever (dad points are always well worth the effort!).
Best vid out there on this topic. A couple things that helped me that weren't mentioned: I saved the screws and plates in the different compartments of an ice cube tray. I took a drop of Elmer's glue, applied it to the end of the little screwdriver, and it helped the head of the screw to stay attached to the screwdriver. I used the end of a chopstick to press various ribbons and stuff into place. Much, much more time consuming than the 5 minutes claimed on this vid. I needed a very bright light and a magnifying glass to help me, and I have good close-up vision.
Watched your video. Worked perfectly! I would also recommend explaining how to remove the battery. I did it by carefully warming up the phone gradually and working at it little bit by bit, careful not to damage the volume connections underneath and on the sides. I kind of just put the phone near a heat source, and stopped before the casing was too hot to touch (don't want to damage components). This helped loosen the adhesives a bit. Then I replaced the battery with a new battery, using the remaining adhesive from the previous phone to hold it in place. I'd also recommend explaining how every new charger port flex comes with a sticker covering the mic (its a yellow film). That MUST be removed or else you wont be able to use the microphone except via Speaker mode. If you pull the sticker off the mic on the new charger port flex, the mic should work perfect. I learn this the hard way. Hope this helps someone reading.
+Matt Fledderjohann Thank you SO FREAKING MUCH! I just swapped my i6 housing with a black housing (LED Apple logo too. Looks amazing) and after solving my button issues and camera issues, this was my last problem. Mic wouldn't work. I saw the yellow tag on the mic, but for some reason, no amount of pulling would remove it. I don't know what I was doing wrong. The blue film peeled off easily, but I couldn't figure out how to remove the yellow tag or what it was for, so I just snipped it off with a small pair of scissors. Now I know what I did wrong. I just gotta figure out why I couldn't get the film off.
Followed the video and it was super easy. First time, phone turned on and refused to charge. Opened it again and realized the ribbon that wraps around the speaker that plugs in next to the battery was not fully connected. Fixed it and it finally charges again. Thanks for the video!
Thank you for making this vid. It was very helpful to me and I was able to do this myself as a result. I'm a 65 yr old woman and not very handy or tech savvy so that should tell you how easy it is to follow the tutorial. I would advise the use of a magnifying glass however. Those screws are teeny-tiny!!!
Helped me out BIG TIME. My charging port was loose so I decided to buy another one and replace it like in this video. Great step by step. I really do appreciate it.
followed this step by step and everything worked fine except my screen. all the other buttons were working but my screen wasn't responding to touch. I figured out that the screws on some brackets have different lengths. be sure to put those longer screws in the same spot and everything will work fine
Thanks jerry you were right the charging ports I had purchased was faulty followed by the next 3 I bought ! Before I exposed the adhesive and started putting everything together I checked to make sure they worked before installing it. Now it's working like new . Bought some new charging cables too just incase that's what started this whole thing . Anyways thank you again your tutorial was on point .
Managed to do it. Hands still shaking. Getting that cable wire back on its place was very challenging. In the end it actually didn't make a click. I just managed to push it in there somehow - took me around 20 mins. Also, I connected the cable before I put the loudspeaker back on - gave me more space.
thank you so much for this video!!! it was so helpful!! i knew this was the problem with my phone, bought the part and tools from the website you recommended, followed the video a few times and now my phone is good to go! i'm not even that good at fixing things and this was not hard. took 20 minutes and cost me $25. Thanks again youre awesome!
Very simple fix. After accomplishing this simple procedure, I replaced the pituitary gland in my dog and all the gills on our goldfish. Keep the connecting screws organized.
This was very well done and much appreciated. One little thing that would have been helpful would have been to point out that the screws on the same parts are different sizes. I took some of them out and then I thought, "Hey, those are different sizes. I had better make sure I keep track of which screw goes in which whole and not just which screw goes with which part." The green arrows were quite helpful.

Great video, many thanks for the upload. Managed to replace my battery and charger port whilst using this vid & works perfectly now. One thing I will say is to remove to screen use an ISclack (about £12 eBay) well worth it & screen pops up easily, I broke my iPhone 5 a few years ago using a single ‘sucker’ trying to wedge it up. After putting it all back together and switching it on the touchscreen wasn’t working and there were lines on the display. If this happens reinserted the displays connectors (they will snap in, just make sure the screen is held up 90 degrees and is the top edge is straight to the top of the phone and they will go in easily) and watch for the screws as they will be in one place and then disappear before your eyes. Total cost for me £15. Thanks again, brilliant vid
New part does not support CarPlay. I bought from your recommended seller. Great video, worked exactly as you stated by the new part does not support CarPlay
Hey great video! Incredibly useful and straight forward. I completed the repair and all ports work, but my load speaker stopped working. I heard it could be the “flex cable” I was wondering what part that is or if I need to do the repair again. Thanks!
Great help!! Saved me TIME and HEADACHE. Mine was only lint build-up just like you suggested in the video description. Thanks for loading the video. Good job.
Excellent video, easy to follow step by step instructions. I did this and replaced my old charging port with a new one hoping to fix my error 9 when "synching with iphone" while i try to restore to factory settings since my phone is dead. I've tried disconnecting every single component while restoring in hope to fix the error 9 and find the defect one. Nothing works. Do you have any idea what a possible solution might be or is my phone just bricked with a broken nand chip? It all started with a infinite boot loop pattern which eventually resulted in all this.
This is a very interesting video. I will stick to pharmacy and let someone else do this. I admire those that have the patience for doing this fine work.
JerryRigEverything I used an old egg cup box to hold sets of screws and brackets at each stage. And used little bluetac plates to hold the screws in a pattern if they differed in size for any stage.
My lord. This guy is a master. He explains every little single thing in a well detailed way, however, I'm not sure I will be able to make it since I will need to follow the instructions given in the video and that means to dismantle the whole system and those steps are not as easy as they seem to be : (
Thanks man worked perfectly, next time please explain a bit more how to take off something like the ribbon with the charging port and all, because I couldnt see initially how you took it off, aside from that, great video
Fantastic guide, thank you very much. Getting the tiny loudspeaker cable back on was a real PITA, but that's just the design. I'm glad I'm nearsighted, I actually took off my glasses and had my eye about an inch from the phone for a while. :) 3rd repair on my iPhone 6 and it's really weird every time I take it out of the case; modern phones are so slim and slippery, how does anybody not have a monster case just to hold onto them, hah. Anyway, thanks again!
Took a while longer than 5 minutes just being careful to organize the screws and covers separately and noting which screw went in which hole since they are differing lengths. But overall this was a good series and I just did my battery and charging port on my old I6. Plugging in the screen micro ribbon connectors I had the first one not seat correctly I think and phone would not power up. I tried it before I snapped screen on and had to go back and redo those connections. My bad. Thanks for the info. Thumbs up.
Great Video! What are the chances the new charging port is defective? I followed this video step by step and everything went well... When I went to turn on my phone, the phone would not charge, and I also had no service. Any Ideas? Thank you.
Thank you so much for the tutorial with the details. I did have an issue when I put everything back, looks like my network connectivity was spotty not working like before and my voice appears to be muffled to others receiving my calls. Any suggestions, could I have damaged something else in the process? Thank you again for the tutorials.
LOUD SPEAKER PROBLEMS: I have the same problem with the loud speaker. I have no fixed it yet but i know it is either the new charging port that you installed that is faulty or it was damaged in the install process. I had to take the whole charging port out again because it was postition properly. The part where you lift up to pull the whle thing off ripped a little so i think thats what damaged the speaker. The speaker isnt getting the vorrect connection from the speaker to the two little gold metal things on the actual charging port. So make sure the two little prongs are touching the two little pads and make sure you didnt damage it in the process. I hope this helps.
Everything went well in my repair i changed the charging port , battery and speaker, only thing i wouldn't do is unclip the screen it gave me so much trouble to make it work again. But any ways thanks for the vid it saved me alot of money
The hardest part was getting thin wire cable antenna plugged back in. I was starting to think maybe I damaged the connector, but finally I heard it click into place. I put everything together with a new 2200 MAH battery and it's working perfect. It's like my 4 year old iphone6 is new again!
Thanks for the video. This helped guide me to a cheap, successful repair. Only issue I had was that I had a little bit of trouble getting the pentalobe screws in the bottom all the way in. Anyone else have this problem?
always battery off first and last thing to go back, i learned the hard way, i must have inadvertently powered up the phone while reassembling , when i was negotiating putting the screen ribbon connectors on i shorted something out, phones dead. good luck, cheers
Ok I have a question please answer if u can becuz I just placedan order for a new iPhone 6 charging port I already replaced the battery since I messed it up charging it with a off brand "elite" charger but when I tried to charge the phone it wouldn't charge I tested the charger and it works fine with my airpods I also did the toothpick thing and it wouldn't work so does that mean I need a new charging port?
One quick tip don't use the isesamo to un clip the network antenna, anything metal can short the board. Once battery is u clipped 60 minutes before the capacitors run out of power making safe for any tool. GREAT VIDEO AGAIN THO
This is amazing my phone wasn't charging i followed the instructions in the video and now my phone is working great! Thank you so much im so happy right no you have no idea
It's a great vid, and the tool kit is nice. Unfortunately, this is a refurb, and whoever put the phone back together stripped the heads of the screws that you take out in step one. My screw extractors are a bit large LOL. Any ideas out there?
I've been having problems with my i-phone 6 charging port, I just order the parts to replace it. What I have noticed, and forgive me if this is a common method of holding of for replacement parts, but my phone will not charge unless I turn it off and then plug in my charging cable. If that helps some of you guys out while waiting for the parts that's great, I'm not even entirely sure if it is my charging port that is causing that problem, but it seems like an easy assumption to make. Hope this helps!
Problem solved. I took the phone apart twice, then a third time in order to micro-align the parts. The speaker has two copper conductors (which Zach mentions in the video) which needed a lot of coaxing to have them meet up. Ace.
Awesome video - thank you! Used it to replace the battery and Lightning port in my son's iPhone 6. We ran into one issue though. There are two right-angle brackets on the back of the screen, and these are what the Pentalobe screws from the outside screw into. Well, these both bent when I was trying to screw the phone back together (probably too aggressively), and they both metal-fatigued and fell off from the screen. Do I need to replace the entire screen? Or is there a way to replace just those two right-angle brackets?
Thanks for this. Sadly, my iPhone 6S Plus looks very different inside than yours. The speaker is the most obvious difference. I guess there is more than one model internally.
+Mike Kenney Youch! Glad you fixed it but I would NOT recommend using a toothpick due to it being CONDUCTIVE. Could short something with the battery. Much better off using a toothpick!
I got it apart and back together and it's working. However I have 2 smaller screws left over. Is there a guide that shows which size screws go where on this phone?
putting back the speaker was the hardest part but overall great video. One thing that sucked is one the screws from the vibration motor became stripped even though I was using the screw driver that came with the kit so I could remove it and just placed the wire strip over it.
Old video but for anyone repairing iPhones - Before removing the digitizer, you really ought to unplug the battery to prevent short fusing your IC chip which is an expensive repair. The IC chip is essentially the CPU of the motherboard and you really don't want to damage that as it will cause your display to black out completely.
I know this is an old video so I hope you see this. Is the innards placements on a iPhone 6 the same as an iPhone X? I looked to see if you had a video for the iPhone X but didn't see it.
Just tried this because my POS iphone is shot. Won't charge at all anymore. I got as far as the two exterior screws out and the screen lifted. Couldn't get the interior screws out. Not one. The kit doesn't have any indicator of which bit to use and I tried any that seemed small enough to fit. So thanks for posting the video, but this didn't really end up helping at all.
the suction cup in the tool kit you recommended isn't strong enough to separate the screen. where did you get heavy duty suction cup you use in the video?
I followed this video because I had a messed up charging port and my phone is back to working normal again. One thing that is not mentioned in the video but I picked up on in the comments, is taking a black piece off of the old microphone that you're replacing and putting it on the new microphone. Besides that one part the whole thing went smoothly.
Ya Jerry missed it, i was really shocked to see that part missing in my new replacement part
I took the black piece off of the old microphone and put it on the new one and the microphone still doesn't work
Fast, simple, and straight to the point. Thank you! I replaced the charging port and battery on my old iphone 6, and it works great again. Very grateful. It's like a new phone. Now, if only Apple would let it upgrade to the latest iOS. Oh well, you did a great job. Thanks!

This is precisely what a how to video should be. Accurate, concise, informative. A model for others to follow. Thank you for sharing.

Very thorough no annoying music to have to endure either. Thanks
Great guide. Took me about 45 min to complete. Just take your time and keep your screws organized. THANK YOU!!!
Before you perform this task try cleaning the port with a toothpick. Worked beautifully. Held more lint than my belly button.
+Cutter Johnston Very good advice!
+Cutter Johnston dont know why i didnt even think of that. thanks man
+Cutter Johnston Woah. You just cured me of months of headaches. I wish I had seen this sooner. Charger works like a charm now. Pulled out a TON of lint. thank you!

That's is one of the best and clearest video I have seen on utube.
Very impressed. Thanks for your excellent effort
I had an iphone 6 with a broken charger port and another with a destroyed screen. Swapped the good port into the one with the good screen and done!.
She works!. Thank you :)

If your tools are ferrous you can use a magnet and swipe along from the start of the screwdriver to the tip and make it a temporary magnet.

thank you so much for this video!!! it was so helpful!! i knew this was the problem with my phone, bought the part and tools from the website you recommended, followed the video a few times and now my phone is good to go! i'm not even that good at fixing things and this was not hard. took 20 minutes and cost me $25. Thanks again youre awesome!
Followed these steps, works like a charm now. Thanks for the tutorial. Very helpful, saved a ton of cash.
Very simple fix. After accomplishing this simple procedure, I replaced the pituitary gland in my dog and all the gills on our goldfish. Keep the connecting screws organized.
Lmao
Great tutorial! One thing that was not mentioned is that some screws are shorter in length than others so be sure to lay them out carefully.
You've made this such an easy repair, thank you. The screw chart was a brilliant resource.
thanks so much. I just fixed my iPhone. It works really well...I'm so glad that I found your video.
This was very well done and much appreciated. One little thing that would have been helpful would have been to point out that the screws on the same parts are different sizes. I took some of them out and then I thought, "Hey, those are different sizes. I had better make sure I keep track of which screw goes in which whole and not just which screw goes with which part." The green arrows were quite helpful.
Watched the ad at the end just bc you put it there thank you for this video really helped me
This is a great tutorial that points out the harder issues as well as the easy. The link provided is recommended even though they may not sent progress email but my package came to NE. In 3 days.

Great video, many thanks for the upload. Managed to replace my battery and charger port whilst using this vid & works perfectly now. One thing I will say is to remove to screen use an ISclack (about £12 eBay) well worth it & screen pops up easily, I broke my iPhone 5 a few years ago using a single ‘sucker’ trying to wedge it up. After putting it all back together and switching it on the touchscreen wasn’t working and there were lines on the display. If this happens reinserted the displays connectors (they will snap in, just make sure the screen is held up 90 degrees and is the top edge is straight to the top of the phone and they will go in easily) and watch for the screws as they will be in one place and then disappear before your eyes. Total cost for me £15. Thanks again, brilliant vid
This video was very helpful and accurate. I would not recommend removing the battery; however, I would highly recommend disconnecting the battery.
New part does not support CarPlay. I bought from your recommended seller. Great video, worked exactly as you stated by the new part does not support CarPlay
Fixed old phone for super cheap! Easy and thorough directions to follow. Thank you.
Hey great video! Incredibly useful and straight forward. I completed the repair and all ports work, but my load speaker stopped working. I heard it could be the “flex cable” I was wondering what part that is or if I need to do the repair again. Thanks!
Great help!! Saved me TIME and HEADACHE. Mine was only lint build-up just like you suggested in the video description.
Thanks for loading the video. Good job.
Excellent video, easy to follow step by step instructions. I did this and replaced my old charging port with a new one hoping to fix my error 9 when "synching with iphone" while i try to restore to factory settings since my phone is dead. I've tried disconnecting every single component while restoring in hope to fix the error 9 and find the defect one. Nothing works. Do you have any idea what a possible solution might be or is my phone just bricked with a broken nand chip? It all started with a infinite boot loop pattern which eventually resulted in all this.
This video saved my phone today! Thank you! After two hours of reparation it works like new!
This is a very interesting video. I will stick to pharmacy and let someone else do this. I admire those that have the patience for doing this fine work.
Great video. Thanks for the help. Hardest part was the tiny wire cable antenna, and keeping track of which screws go where.
Patrick Reber Thanks for watching! And ya, definitely important to keep those screws organized.
JerryRigEverything I used an old egg cup box to hold sets of screws and brackets at each stage. And used little bluetac plates to hold the screws in a pattern if they differed in size for any stage.
My lord. This guy is a master. He explains every little single thing in a well detailed way, however, I'm not sure I will be able to make it since I will need to follow the instructions given in the video and that means to dismantle the whole system and those steps are not as easy as they seem to be : (
Thank you! This video worked a TREAT for me. Excellent tear down and rebuild instructions here. A+
Thanks man worked perfectly, next time please explain a bit more how to take off something like the ribbon with the charging port and all, because I couldnt see initially how you took it off, aside from that, great video
Awesome advice!! Worked perfectly. Thanks to you I saved priceless photos of my kids and family when Apple wasn't able to save my data.
Fantastic guide, thank you very much. Getting the tiny loudspeaker cable back on was a real PITA, but that's just the design. I'm glad I'm nearsighted, I actually took off my glasses and had my eye about an inch from the phone for a while. :)
3rd repair on my iPhone 6 and it's really weird every time I take it out of the case; modern phones are so slim and slippery, how does anybody not have a monster case just to hold onto them, hah.
Anyway, thanks again!
Followed this step by step. Absolutely amazing. Thank you for this video. Saved me a few quid
Simple & good tutorial! Maybe next time you should mention that there are 2 types of screws when you release the screen from the phone. thanks!
one of the best and clearest video I have seen on youtube
Great video. Unfortunately I cracked my screen pulling too hard on the suction cup to remove it. My fault. Just letting others know to be careful!
After months of not being able to charge my phone without rubber bands, I am finally able to charge it. Thank you so much!
Took a while longer than 5 minutes just being careful to organize the screws and covers separately and noting which screw went in which hole since they are differing lengths. But overall this was a good series and I just did my battery and charging port on my old I6. Plugging in the screen micro ribbon connectors I had the first one not seat correctly I think and phone would not power up. I tried it before I snapped screen on and had to go back and redo those connections. My bad. Thanks for the info. Thumbs up.
Just tagging this vid with a comment so i have find it again! Great video, I will need to watch it again when the spare part I've ordered arrives,
Excellent video, only thing I would add is that the screws for a given component are not always the same length.
He's like the Bob Ross of phone repairs. Was nervous but this totally guided me through it, still good in 2017
how many are still using a 6 in 2024 lol
Great Video! What are the chances the new charging port is defective? I followed this video step by step and everything went well... When I went to turn on my phone, the phone would not charge, and I also had no service. Any Ideas? Thank you.
Thank you so much for the tutorial with the details. I did have an issue when I put everything back, looks like my network connectivity was spotty not working like before and my voice appears to be muffled to others receiving my calls. Any suggestions, could I have damaged something else in the process? Thank you again for the tutorials.
LOUD SPEAKER PROBLEMS: I have the same problem with the loud speaker. I have no fixed it yet but i know it is either the new charging port that you installed that is faulty or it was damaged in the install process. I had to take the whole charging port out again because it was postition properly. The part where you lift up to pull the whle thing off ripped a little so i think thats what damaged the speaker. The speaker isnt getting the vorrect connection from the speaker to the two little gold metal things on the actual charging port. So make sure the two little prongs are touching the two little pads and make sure you didnt damage it in the process. I hope this helps.
Everything went well in my repair i changed the charging port , battery and speaker, only thing i wouldn't do is unclip the screen it gave me so much trouble to make it work again. But any ways thanks for the vid it saved me alot of money
The hardest part was getting thin wire cable antenna plugged back in. I was starting to think maybe I damaged the connector, but finally I heard it click into place. I put everything together with a new 2200 MAH battery and it's working perfect. It's like my 4 year old iphone6 is new again!
Thanks for the video. This helped guide me to a cheap, successful repair. Only issue I had was that I had a little bit of trouble getting the pentalobe screws in the bottom all the way in. Anyone else have this problem?
just replaced the iphone port and it is now working. thank you.
Thanks for the tutorial, I was able to change my port and it's back like new again.
Very informative. Straight forward. I followed your instructions and I fixed my phone. Thanks from Berlin!
Just used this video last night. Worked great!
always battery off first and last thing to go back, i learned the hard way, i must have inadvertently powered up the phone while reassembling , when i was negotiating putting the screen ribbon connectors on i shorted something out, phones dead. good luck, cheers
Ok I have a question please answer if u can becuz I just placedan order for a new iPhone 6 charging port I already replaced the battery since I messed it up charging it with a off brand "elite" charger but when I tried to charge the phone it wouldn't charge I tested the charger and it works fine with my airpods I also did the toothpick thing and it wouldn't work so does that mean I need a new charging port?
You are a saint, thank you so much for posting this guide, super straight forward and easy to follow.
One quick tip don't use the isesamo to un clip the network antenna, anything metal can short the board. Once battery is u clipped 60 minutes before the capacitors run out of power making safe for any tool.
GREAT VIDEO AGAIN THO
This is amazing my phone wasn't charging i followed the instructions in the video and now my phone is working great! Thank you so much im so happy right no you have no idea
It's a great vid, and the tool kit is nice. Unfortunately, this is a refurb, and whoever put the phone back together stripped the heads of the screws that you take out in step one. My screw extractors are a bit large LOL. Any ideas out there?
I've been having problems with my i-phone 6 charging port, I just order the parts to replace it. What I have noticed, and forgive me if this is a common method of holding of for replacement parts, but my phone will not charge unless I turn it off and then plug in my charging cable. If that helps some of you guys out while waiting for the parts that's great, I'm not even entirely sure if it is my charging port that is causing that problem, but it seems like an easy assumption to make. Hope this helps!
Was the charging port the problem?
@@juniorjimenez8878 No answer ?
3:53 stresses me out, thank you so much watching your video made it a lot easier apparently
cheers mate. it helped my phones charging like a dream now
very helpful video , thank you i fixed my old iphone 6 in about 40 minutes .
Great video, really helped a lot. Couldn't have done it without you. Keep up the great work. Many thanks.
Thank you sir. Couldn't have done it (at all) without you!
I changed this following the video accurately.
Everything now works (thanks), except **I have lost the sound for the speaker.**
Any thoughts?
Problem solved. I took the phone apart twice, then a third time in order to micro-align the parts. The speaker has two copper conductors (which Zach mentions in the video) which needed a lot of coaxing to have them meet up. Ace.
Awesome video - thank you! Used it to replace the battery and Lightning port in my son's iPhone 6. We ran into one issue though. There are two right-angle brackets on the back of the screen, and these are what the Pentalobe screws from the outside screw into. Well, these both bent when I was trying to screw the phone back together (probably too aggressively), and they both metal-fatigued and fell off from the screen. Do I need to replace the entire screen? Or is there a way to replace just those two right-angle brackets?
Thanks so much Jerry, I was worried i was going to have to buy a new phone, but thanks to you I only had to spend $14
Thanks for this. Sadly, my iPhone 6S Plus looks very different inside than yours. The speaker is the most obvious difference. I guess there is more than one model internally.
We can't get the wire cable pinched onto it's port. We tried several times. How hard do you need to pinch it ?
I was having the same problem. I was at work so instead of a toothpick, I used the end of a paper clip. It worked beautifully, TY for the suggestion.
+Mike Kenney Youch! Glad you fixed it but I would NOT recommend using a toothpick due to it being CONDUCTIVE. Could short something with the battery. Much better off using a toothpick!
Just have to say, this video was a tremendous help! Thank you for making it and for the toolkit suggestion!
I got it apart and back together and it's working. However I have 2 smaller screws left over. Is there a guide that shows which size screws go where on this phone?
putting back the speaker was the hardest part but overall great video. One thing that sucked is one the screws from the vibration motor became stripped even though I was using the screw driver that came with the kit so I could remove it and just placed the wire strip over it.
Old video but for anyone repairing iPhones - Before removing the digitizer, you really ought to unplug the battery to prevent short fusing your IC chip which is an expensive repair. The IC chip is essentially the CPU of the motherboard and you really don't want to damage that as it will cause your display to black out completely.
I just did the same repair thanks to your tutorial! Very easy to follow, thank you!!
Thank you for this video. I had it in front of me step by step. However, it took me more than 5 minutes! :) It did work when I was finished.
I know this is an old video so I hope you see this. Is the innards placements on a iPhone 6 the same as an iPhone X? I looked to see if you had a video for the iPhone X but didn't see it.
thanks for the video.. however, how many different types/sizes of screwdrivers do i need? 1 or 2? im about to replace the battery+the chargingport
Followed your instructions and it worked perfectly - thanks!
Just tried this because my POS iphone is shot. Won't charge at all anymore. I got as far as the two exterior screws out and the screen lifted. Couldn't get the interior screws out. Not one. The kit doesn't have any indicator of which bit to use and I tried any that seemed small enough to fit. So thanks for posting the video, but this didn't really end up helping at all.
the suction cup in the tool kit you recommended isn't strong enough to separate the screen. where did you get heavy duty suction cup you use in the video?
Thanks, this worked! Replaced my faulty headphone jack.
