 HEAT-GUN PRECAUTIONS
• Always operate the heat gun on the lowest setting.
• Keep face, hands, hair, and clothing away from the air stream.
• The air nozzle also becomes extremely hot. Never grab the heat gun by the nozzle.
• Never operate the heat gun by laying it on its side on a table. It should be firmly grasped in one hand
at all times during usage.
• Never operate near flammable or explosive liquids and vapors. Cleaning supplies and the 3M #94
Primer are of concern. Make sure fumes are absent from the work area before operating the heat gun
• The heat gun nozzle should never get closer than 2“ to the object being heated.
• Keep heat gun moving. Never stay in one spot.

 ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS
• Magnetic Pad: During the repair, you will be utilizing a magnetic pad to organize the plethora of
differing screws that you will be pulling out of the iPhone 6S. Below is a list of several internal
components of the iPhone 6S that should never be placed on the pad, or you risk damaging the
hardware or erasing client data:
• LCD/Digitizer Assembly
• Cameras
• Motherboard
• Battery
• Speaker

 ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS
• Power on/off: To avoid any damage to the hardware during the repair, it is best to have the device
powered off until you can get to and disconnect the battery.
• Battery: Never unplug any flex cables unless the battery has been completely disconnected to avoid
frying your hardware. Do not plug the battery back until all cables have been reconnected.
• Release Screws: Apply pressure on the screw and twist counterclockwise to initially loosen it, then
lighten the pressure and continue twisting until the screw is gently released. Make sure you have
properly sized screwdrivers available for the repair.
• Pin Connectors: extremely fragile and must be plugged or unplugged with extreme caution.
• Battery connector: held down by light adhesive and solder. If not cautious it will come off the
motherboard. Very time consuming to be repaired. Do not break it in the first place.
• Motherboard: small surface mount components can be easily damaged if they are nicked by the
spudger. Always take your time and never touch the surface of the motherboard.

 Tools: sim card ejector

STEP 1
Disassemble the device
• Power off device.
• Remove sim card.

 Tools: plastic cards, heat gun, Tips: If the back glass is already broken most likely it will break
isesamo or painters knife more as you heat it up and pry it off. Make sure to mention this to
STEP 2 the customer so they are aware.

Disassemble the device • The next step requires you to heat around the frame
of the back glass. Now when you heat around the
frame do it in a constant movement do not let it rest
in just one area.

• The glass only has adhesive in particular areas

outlined on the edge of the glass.

• You will need to use some type of cards or thin picks

so slide underneath each part of glass you release
from the adhesive so it doesn’t stick back down.

• Take the isesamo or painters knife and slide it in

between where the glass and frame meet. You want
to slide it around the frame if it seems the adhesive
has cooled down heat around the frame again. This
process you will continue as you try to loosen up the
whole back glass.

 Tools: Philips screwdriver,
tweezers
STEP 3
Disassemble the device
• Now that the back glass is
removed.

• Unscrew the twenty (20) Philips

screws with the Philips screwdriver.

• Peel back black tape to expose the

battery ( area pointed out with Red
arrows).

• Disconnect the battery cable.

 Tools: Hands, spudger
STEP 4
Disassemble the device • Once the black tape is pulled back use your
thumb to help push the frame from the
display.
• The black tape covers the battery so now
that the battery is exposed it allows room to
separate the frame from glass display.
• Now, that the frame and display is separated
we can now focus on removing the
motherboard off of back housing.
• Start by disconnecting the battery cable.

STEP 5
• Disconnect the Lcd flex cable.
Disassemble the device • Then the ear speaker cable above the camera.

• Next, disconnect the Digitizer cable.

• Moving down the board disconnect the two antennas one

is white and the other blue.

• Underneath those cables is a blue flex cable disconnect.

As you start to lift the motherboard you will notice the
chargeport cable connected underneath board make
sure to disconnect the cable.

• Remove motherboard put it in a safe place to the side.

 Tools: Heat gun, painters knife
or isesamo
STEP 6
Disassemble the device
• Once the motherboard is all disconnected and removed it is time to separate the old assembly from the
frame of the device. Turn device over to the front of the glass and heat. It does not matter if you heat to long
on that side because most likely the lcd is already damaged.

• Step 8, will show all the steps necessary to remove the assembly. First, start by taking your pry tool: isesamo
or painters knife and slide it in between the frame of device and glass. The goal is to place tool behind the
glass and Lcd as you slide tool down and, flex from left to right with tool to release it from the adhesive.

 Tools: Painters knife or isesamo,
spudger
STEP 7
Disassemble the device
• The closer you get to the bottom of the glass be
aware there are two flex cables attached by
adhesive. Heating the front of the glass in that area
will help loosen the adhesive.
• Once you can see down into the frame in between
the lcd and frame start by using your pry tool to lay
down the flex cables to frame not adhered to the
glass.
• The glass should be clear to pull off now that all
components are in place and not attached to old
assembly.

 Tools: Philips screwdriver, spudger, Fingers,
STEP 1 PDI pads.

Reassemble of Device • Use a scraping tool to clean the frame of old adhesive and remaining
glass shards. (PDI pads are good for removing adhesive) (area shown by
red arrows).
• Most new assemblies come with new adhesive so take all plastic tape off
covering the adhesive.
• Place new assembly on the frame in the correct position. You will want to
test fit the new assembly to the frame reassuring that the Digitizer/LCD
cables fit with the motherboard already attached to back housing.
• Put motherboard back onto the Plastic frame. I say put new assembly on
as you lay the motherboard back down on frame. It makes the fit easier so
the lcd cable isn’t pulling awkwardly through the frame.

 Tools: Philips screwdriver, spudger, Fingers

STEP 2
• After the motherboard is positioned properly reconnect all components and cables but, make sure the battery is
reconnected last.

• Place back housing over the device by starting at the bottom, lining the chargeport into the socket designated for it.
Push down on the top of the glass display because the top has hinges that need to be cleared before frame fits all the
way into the frame.

• Smooth out the glass with your hands as you lay it in flush. Do not force it on first try might mean it needs to be pulled
out and repositioned.

scissors, Fingers
STEP 4
• Next, put the back glass back on now if it’s the original glass you might need to add a thin layer of
adhesive around the frame of the back glass. Outlined with the white shade of tape around the frame. If
it’s a replacement back glass and doesn’t come with adhesive on it definitely add some around the
frame. Then apply back glass to phone. Smooth around the back with your hands to help seal.
• Power on device and do post test.

defective. Try a new one.
