hi I'm going to one with iFixit and
today I'm going to show you how to
replace the display assembly in your
iPhone 7 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 tri point
white rippled arrow screwdriver a
Philips double-0 screwdriver and
tweezers when you do your repair be sure
to follow the step by step guide on a
fix-it comm 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 outline how to
eat 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 button pull
up on the suction cup to create a small
gap between the display assembly in the
rear case grab a spudger and enters the
flat end into the gap apply the Pledger
to the left along the lower edge of the
icon give it a spudger a twist to widen
the gap between the display and the rear
case apply the spudger of 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 cups to a 10 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 and B 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 we have four
tripoint screws that are new but luckily
we have a bit for them

of your spudger to lift the battery
connector out of the socket on the logic
board next use the flat end of your

top of the phone and remove the two
Phillips screws securing the bracket
over the front panel since our assembly
