iPhone 15 Back Glass Replacement

O que você precisa

  1. iPhone 15 Back Glass Replacement, Prepare your phone for disassembly: passo 1, imagem 1 %32 iPhone 15 Back Glass Replacement, Prepare your phone for disassembly: passo 1, imagem 2 %32
    • Allow your phone's battery to drain below 25%, as a charged lithium-ion battery is a potential safety hazard.

    • Unplug any cables from your phone.

    • Hold the power and either volume buttons and slide to power off your phone.

  2. iPhone 15 Back Glass Replacement, Tape over any cracks: passo 2, imagem 1 %32 iPhone 15 Back Glass Replacement, Tape over any cracks: passo 2, imagem 2 %32
    • If your screen or back glass is badly cracked, lay overlapping strips of packing tape over the glass to protect yourself and make disassembly easier.

    • Make sure there's a smooth area near the bottom edge that's big enough for a suction cup to stick to.

  3. iPhone 15 Back Glass Replacement, Mark your opening picks: passo 3, imagem 1 %32 iPhone 15 Back Glass Replacement, Mark your opening picks: passo 3, imagem 2 %32 iPhone 15 Back Glass Replacement, Mark your opening picks: passo 3, imagem 3 %32
    • If inserted too far, an opening pick can damage your device. Follow this step to mark your pick and prevent damage.

    • Measure 3 mm from the tip and mark the opening pick with a permanent marker.

    • You can also mark the other corners of the pick with different measurements.

    • Alternatively, tape a coin to a pick 3 mm from the tip.

    Got to step 2 and realized the fix kit doesn't include an opening pick! Looks like a guitar pick, and I have those lying around. Is that expected? Looks like the pick is used in many steps below. There's a little blue crowbar that isn't mentioned in the instructions. Perhaps that replaces the opening pick?

    Hi! I can't see which guide you were using when writing this comment. Can you reply here with which guide and fix kit you used?

    Clay Eickemeyer -

    I see you posted this in Meta. I hope it's resolved soon! In the meantime, a guitar pick may work well enough for your repair.

    Clay Eickemeyer -

    what fix kit?

    Meow Purr -

    My fix kit didn't include an opening pick either

    WILLIAM HARRIS - Responder

    Make sure you check inside the black boxes after emptying them. My pick was stuck inside one of the boxes.

    My AliExpress refurbished screen came with a pick that has a coin-like circle that pops out, so no modification was necessary

    the picture shows 3 cm but the description says 3 mm's. Which one is it?

    John Pena - Responder

    That is a misunderstanding. It is a ruler with a scale for cm, it shows 0.3 cm, i.e. 3 mm.

    VauWeh -

    Oh, come ON!

    Big Ed -

    It will ALWAYS be millimeters on a phone, but this step is ridiculous, skip it!

    Leif DeWolf -

    It's not an Ifixit KIT if it doesn't include everything. You'll need to order the opening pic separately. Or head to Walmart like myself and look for guitar pics. Hopefully, this will work just as well.

    Jaleeljb97@icloud.com - Responder

    No pick in mine as well. It’s really not clear that you have to order this separately when ordering an IPhone SE 202/2022 screen repair kit. Is this the case?

    Jackson Castiglione - Responder

    Frustrated, I ordered a compact package where everything was encapsulated. Useless suction tools could not separate the screen. If it is unable to decouple the screen, then why sucking suction tools you have provided.

    Shourob Datta - Responder

    For my kit the triangle pick was stuck inside the box with the screen not with the other tools maybe it's also there for you

    Henry Scheibehenne - Responder

    Y’all are getting far, FAR too detailed with some of this stuff…. Measuring and marking the pick that you won’t actually use to open the device?!? lol that’s kinda funny. Just heat it up, grab a spudger, and the back just pops right off! The iFixit tech need to stick to the KISS method more often, you know KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID!!! Like l, for reals, I’ve been doing this stuff for YEARS and using iFixit guides regularly and this is just ridiculous at this point!

    Leif DeWolf - Responder

    Will the phone still work if the sensor assembly on the back of the screen is damaged?

  4. iPhone 15 Back Glass Replacement, Remove the pentalobe screws: passo 4, imagem 1 %32 iPhone 15 Back Glass Replacement, Remove the pentalobe screws: passo 4, imagem 2 %32
    • Use a P2 pentalobe driver to remove the two 7.7 mm-long screws on either side of the charging port.

  5. iPhone 15 Back Glass Replacement, Secure the screen: passo 5, imagem 1 %32 iPhone 15 Back Glass Replacement, Secure the screen: passo 5, imagem 2 %32 iPhone 15 Back Glass Replacement, Secure the screen: passo 5, imagem 3 %32
    Ferramenta utilizada neste passo:
    Clampy - Anti-Clamp
    $24.95
    • The next four steps demonstrate the Anti-Clamp, a tool we designed to make the opening procedure easier. If you aren't using the Anti-Clamp, skip down four steps for an alternate method.

    • For complete instructions on how to use the Anti-Clamp, check out this guide.

    • The Anti-Clamp applies suction to both the screen and the back glass. To open only the back glass, you need to secure the screen with tape. You can also check out the full instructions on how to use this tape.

    • Cut two strips of tape, apply them along the long edges of the phone, and fold them over the screen to secure it.

    • Pull the Anti-Clamp's blue handle backward to unlock the arms.

    • With the back glass facing up, slide the arms over the right edge of your phone, with one suction cup on the back glass and the other on the screen. Center the suction cups near the bottom edge.

    • Support your phone so it rests level while between the Anti-Clamp's arms—a small box works well.

    • Squeeze the cups together to create suction.

    • If you find that the surface of your phone is too slippery for the Anti-Clamp to hold onto, use tape to create a grippier surface.

  7. iPhone 15 Back Glass Replacement, Create a gap under the back glass: passo 7, imagem 1 %32 iPhone 15 Back Glass Replacement, Create a gap under the back glass: passo 7, imagem 2 %32 iPhone 15 Back Glass Replacement, Create a gap under the back glass: passo 7, imagem 3 %32
    • Pull the blue handle forward to lock the arms.

    • Turn the handle one full turn (360 degrees) or until the cups start to stretch.

    • As the cups stretch, make sure they stay vertically aligned with each other. If they keep slipping, remove the Anti-Clamp and apply tape for the cups to stick to.

    • If you don't have tape, you may warm up the suction cups to help them stick.

  8. iPhone 15 Back Glass Replacement, Insert an opening pick: passo 8, imagem 1 %32 iPhone 15 Back Glass Replacement, Insert an opening pick: passo 8, imagem 2 %32 iPhone 15 Back Glass Replacement, Insert an opening pick: passo 8, imagem 3 %32
    • Use a hair dryer or heat gun to heat the bottom edge of the back glass until it's hot to the touch.

    • Be careful not to heat the phone hotter than this—the battery is susceptible to heat damage.

    • Wait up to a minute for the adhesive to separate and a gap to form between the back glass and the frame.

    • If a gap doesn't appear after one minute, apply more heat and rotate the handle a quarter turn. Let the Anti-Clamp and time do the work for you.

    • Insert an opening pick into the gap.

    • Remove the Anti-Clamp using the pull tabs on the suction cups.

    • Skip the next two steps.

  9. iPhone 15 Back Glass Replacement, Heat the bottom edge: passo 9, imagem 1 %32
    • Use a hair dryer or heat gun to heat the bottom edge of the back glass until it's hot to the touch.

    • Be careful not to heat the phone hotter than this—the battery is susceptible to heat damage.

    • Apply a suction handle to the bottom edge of the back glass.

    • Pull up on the handle with a strong, steady force to create a gap between the back glass and the frame.

    • Insert the tip of an opening pick into the gap.

  11. iPhone 15 Back Glass Replacement, Back glass information: passo 11, imagem 1 %32
    • As you slice the adhesive securing the back glass in the next steps, be careful of the following areas:

    • There's a delicate cable connecting the back glass to the phone, right next to the volume down button. Don't insert your pick here to avoid slicing the cable.

    • There are multiple spring contacts around the perimeter of the phone. Be extra careful not to insert your pick deeper than suggested in each step to avoid bending these contacts.

    If you heat the device up PROPERLY there is absolutely ZERO NEED to have to “cut the adhesive”….

  12. iPhone 15 Back Glass Replacement, Separate the bottom edge adhesive: passo 12, imagem 1 %32 iPhone 15 Back Glass Replacement, Separate the bottom edge adhesive: passo 12, imagem 2 %32 iPhone 15 Back Glass Replacement, Separate the bottom edge adhesive: passo 12, imagem 3 %32
    • Don't insert your opening pick deeper than 5 mm along the bottom edge.

    • Slide your pick back and forth along the bottom edge to separate the adhesive.

    • Leave your pick inserted in the bottom right corner to prevent the adhesive from re-sealing.

  13. iPhone 15 Back Glass Replacement, Heat the right edge: passo 13, imagem 1 %32
    • Heat the right edge of the back glass until it's hot to the touch.

    This is how you melt your plastic tools and make them totally useless

    • Don't insert your pick deeper than 7 mm along the right edge.

    • Rotate your pick around the bottom right corner and slide it to the volume down button or until you feel a hard stop at a large clip securing the back glass.

    • Don't slice past the volume buttons to avoid damaging the wireless charging cable.

    • Leave this pick inserted to prevent the adhesive from resealing.

    How about we teach people how to do this without such a risk and start opening it on the side opposite of the volume buttons, and again, if heat is used properly there is zero risk as you can pry up from left and totally avoid sliding the puck around the edge.

    • Gently swing open the back glass to the right of the phone.

    • If the back glass feels stuck, go back around the perimeter to check for missed sections of adhesive or stuck clips.

    • Rest the back glass against a raised surface so it doesn't strain the cable.
