Great, thank you so much!! Found a $17 screen on ebay and with your tutorial, I was back up a running a week after my dog chewed my screen. Took about 1.25hrs to fix, but I didn't bother with the water proofing and taping, well, because my cheap kit didn't have any of that. Thanks!!

Just fixed my screen again for 2x. Thanks again for this video! Took about 1hr this time instead of the 1.25. I'm getting faster. LOL
Much appreciated. Really wasn’t that bad with the right instructions.
Thanks for video, I am getting a constant tapping sound when recording video after I replaced screen, have you heard of this and a possible fix? I tried restarting, software update, and turning off cellular/Bluetooth. It doesn’t tap if recording audio only.
Thanks! Great video, saved me a bit of cash doing it myself
Just fixed my Sons phone following your video. Fantastic content and great to follow 👍

Hello, I recently did this but didn’t put any tape on, my screen is noticeably unresponsive a lot of the time when typing, (for example this took twice as long to type as I needed to press the keys down for longer for the display to recognise I was touching the keys) and I have a hard time trying to swipe the control panel up, it seems like the bottom quarter of my screen is much worse than the rest, can someone explain this? I’ve heard something about grounding but im not sure what that us exactly?

That's the grounding issue. The kapton tape should fix that issue.
hi ... Do you have tutorial for battery replacement? I check others tutorials and I rather follow you because your explanations are very clear.

This video is great. Too bad I’m a clumsy idiot. I was repairing the phone, did everything perfectly. No complications putting on the screen or taking out the Touch ID. I plugged in the flex cables and went to test the screen, plugged in the phone to the charger, and when I turned to grab something, my foot got caught on the charger and ripped the phone off the desk. Two of the flex cables snapped. I have to buy another new screen now.

@@C.Dynamo A display assembly costs less than $25 shipped. But the home button color is unchanged if you want to keep TouchID -- only the original button supports TouchID. Also, aftermarket displays don't support TrueTone unless you also have access to the original display AND own a reprogrammer (but 1. any half decent shop should be able to lend you a programmer, or do it for you, and 2. truetone is useless imo)
I'm having difficulties getting one of the screws out. It's the above the home button. I used all the small screwdrivers I have, and it still won't come out. Do you have any suggestions?
aloha from hawaii, my kids found a smashed 2022 SE at the park and now $25 later and we are up and running 😂
can I reuse the metal panel @3:13 from the original? Buying a new screen has the option of including the metal panel or not.
Will my screen work without the Kapton tape? Or will it be all screwy? My screen fix kit does not come with any Kapton tape, double sided, or that lovely blue layer you mentioned helps water resistance.

My screen didn't even have the removable shield, but regardless I left the red protective film on and it's working just fine, with a cheap aftermarket screen. The quality is reasonable, you can tell the colours are more dull compared the original but otherwise it's ok.

Yes, it prevents grounding which can cause the touch to not work properly. This only applies to aftermarket screens (you should be fine without the tape with OEM, FOG, or In-Cell screens)
When I am putting a refubricated glass, should I use any glue? Because you are not putting there any. Also does everything work correctly after replacing, even truetone etc.?

I recommend using the screen adhesive if there is some, like what the phone comes with. Don’t use glue/super glue! True Tone and auto brightness don’t work (generally) if you don’t program the new screen with a programmer.
SOOOO EASYYY THANK YOU BROO
Thanks for helping me out today! I used an aftermarket screen and worked like a charm. Sad though that the screen has a yellow hue to it and I looked it up, its cheaper than the OEM Apple one.. Anyway thanks again!
make sure to bend away the battery cable it could make contact with the board and may cause a short.

Hey, specific question and I'm not sure if it's the replacement screen I got or the way I installed it, but after installing the new screen it doesn't track swiping on the left side of the screen at all. Once I swipe about halfway the phone acts as if I just took my finger off the screen. I can't even turn fully turn off the phone cause I have to swipe starting on the left side to do that. Do you know of something I could have messed up during the installation process?

If a iphone is dropped and it’s screen doesn’t break a ribbon cable might become dislodged. I have slight brightness on the screen but no picture. I haven’t tried opening it yet but I think that it might have a loose connection. It still makes sounds when connected to the charger. If dropped a couple of feet to the floor.
