life is full of annoyances cracked
windshield cracked nails but a crack
screen doesn't have to be one of them so
today I'm going to show you how to
replace the display assembly in your
iPhone 6 plus
hi I'm Gwendolyn and for this repair
you're going to need a pentalobe
screwdriver an ice Clack a spudger or
plastic opening tool tweezers and a
phillips double zero screwdriver please
note that if you're replacing the whole
touch ID component you will lose touch
ID functionality installing a new home
button will only restore ordinary home
button functions I already have the
majority of the tools I need in my pro
tech tool kit so I'm ready to get
started and I also have my magnetic mat
it helps keep screws organized so I
never do a repair without it
when you do your repair be sure to
follow the step by step guide on
ifixit.com
not only does it walk you through the
complete repair but you can also see
comments and notes from other users who
have followed it which is really cool
and very helpful so every time you do a
repair you want to make sure your device
is completely off and once you do that
you can start by removing the two
pentalobe screws at the bottom of the
phone with those screws out now we're
ready to open our phone to do that I'm
going to use this tool called the ice
black the ice black prise your phone
open just enough making sure it won't
damage any cables inside your iPhone if
you don't have a nice black you can use
a combination of a small suction cup or
your spudger and opening tools to pry
the phone open just be extremely careful
not to damage any cables inside your
phone using the ice clock is super
simple just position the suction cups
right over the home button and open the
handles once the section cups are fully
engaged
just press the handles together and
you'll have an open phone we're going to
disconnect the battery before we move on
to the rest of the repair and to do that
we're going to remove the two screws
holding the bracket that's holding the
cable in place and then use the flat end
of our spudger to disconnect it
just be careful to only disconnect the
cable and not the socket on the logic
board keep in mind the display assembly
is still connected to the logic board to
get it completely off we're going to
need to disconnect all the cables and
before we get to those we're going to
have to remove a cable bracket which is
screw to place by five Phillips screws
and there are all those cables to
disconnect them I'm just going to use
the flat end of my spudger the first
step to removing the home button
assembly is unscrewing the two screws
securing the home button bracket in
place now that we have those two screws
and the bracket out we're going to use
our spudger to peel the home button
cable from the front panel it's time to
get the home button out of the display
assembly gently push the top-left corner
of the home button until you see the
button membrane start to separate from
the display assembly you don't want to
push the entire button through we're
only focusing on this corner right now
once you have that corner up use the tip
of your spudger to release the home
button the rest of the web for
reassembly we recommend you follow the
step by step guide on ifixit.com in
