hi I'm Gwendolyn with iFixit and today
I'm going to show you how to replace the
display assembly in your iPhone 7 plus
for this repair you're going to need a
spudger a small suction cup I fix it
opening picks a p2 pentalobe screwdriver
an eye opener a tripoint Y triple 0
screwdriver and tweezers 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 as always make sure
your phone is off before you begin this
repair like previous iPhones the first
things we remove are the two pentalobe
screws on the bottom edge of the iPhone
next we heat up an eye opener to soften
the adhesive that secures the display to
the phone we outlined how to heat up
your eye opener and steps two through
four on our guide lay the warm iOpener
over the lower edge of the phone to
soften the adhesive holding the display
in place now attach the suction cup to
the lower half of the display assembly
just above the home buttons pull up on
the suction cup to create a small gap
between the display assembly in the rear
case grab a spudger and insert the flat
end into the gap fly the spudger to the
left along the lower edge of the icon
give the spudger a twist to widen the
gap between the display and the rear
case slide the spudger up the left side
of the iphone starting at the lower edge
and moving towards the loud silent
switch be sure not to pry the top edge
of the display away from the rear case
it's held in place by plastic clips that
can break now that the left side is done
move over to the bottom right corner and
do the same thing on the right side pull
the suction cup to a ten degree angle
the display cables run along the right
edge so you don't want to tear them you
can remove your suction cup and slide an
opening pic underneath the display along
the top edge of the phone to loosen the
last of the adhesive pull the display
assembly away from the top edge of the
phone to disengage the clips holding it
to the rear case open the iPhone like a
book with the display as the cover and
the hinge on the right side finally we
get to use a screw driver we have four
tripoint screws that are new but luckily
we have a bit for them
remove the bracket and use the flat end
of your spudger to lift the battery
connector out of its socket on the logic
board next use the flat end of yours
budget to disconnect the two lower
display connectors from their respective
sockets on the logic board move to the
top of the phone and remove the three
tripoint screws securing the bracket
over the front panel sensor assembly
connector go ahead and remove the
bracket as well
use the spudger to disconnect the front
panel sensor assembly connector from its
socket on the logic board and just like
that you can remove the display before
you add your new display be sure to
transfer your old home button over to
your new display in order for your touch
ID to work that's it for this repair you
