for this repair you'll need an eye
opener a set of iFixit opening pics a
suction cup an ice clock a spudger
tweezers and a p2 pen Loeb tripoint Y
triple zero and Philips triple zero
screwdrivers
we also recommend using a magnetic mat
during your repair as the iPhone 10 S
has a ton of tiny screws that are easy
to lose track of replacing your iPhone
10's display even with an original Apple
display will result of it losing true
tone functionality when you're ready to
do your repair discharge your phone
below 25% to reduce your chances of a
battery fire or explosion
if you accidentally puncture your
battery but don't worry this probably
won't happen it's just a precaution
power off your iPhone and then start by
removing the two P two pentalobe screws
at the bottom of the phone

next use your eye opener to heat up the
lower edge of the iPhone this softens
the adhesive making it easier to open if
you've got a nice back it's gonna make
opening your iPhone a lot easier just
place it on the screen just above the
Lightning port engage the suction cups
and squeeze to open the phone
you only need to open the iPhone just
enough to get one of your opening pics
inside if you don't have a nice Glock
handy a suction cup can be used in the
same way place the suction cup in the
same position just above the Lightning
port and apply constant pressure to
create the gap needed to insert the
opening pic once you've got the opening
pic in position between the phone's
frame and the screen slide around the
lower left corner and then up the left
side of the phone slicing through the
adhesive while making sure not to insert
the pic too far into the phone this is a
good time to remind you that breaking
the adhesive seal of the iPhone does
compromise your phone water resistance
so keep that in mind you'll need to
replace the adhesive or just keep it
away from water after this repair now
reinsert your pic at the bottom edge of
the iPhone and slide it up the right
side to finish separating the adhesive
the top edge of the iPhone tennis is
secured by both glue and clips so slide
your pic along the top to separate the
adhesive then gently wiggle the screen
down in the direction of the lightning
port try not to pull the phone too hard
there are several cables connecting the
display to the logic board and we don't
want to damage it
once you've freed the display open it to
the right like the back cover of the
book prop the display against something
to keep it open and then remove five
screws holding on the logic board
connector bracket there are three
different size screws in this bracket
and they all need to go back in exactly
where they came from so make sure to
note which screws came from which hole
on your magnetic mat use your spudger to
disconnect the battery connector the
front panel sensor assembly cable and
finally the OLED panel connector the
sensor assembly cable is lightly adhered
in place so use your tweezers to gently
lift the cable until it separates now
your display should lift right off with
our display removed we also need to
remove the earpiece speaker and front
sensor assembly to start peel back any
tapes that might be covering the hidden
screw in the lower right corner of the
speaker assembly remove the three screws
securing the speaker assembly these are
three differently size screws so once
again make note on your magnetic map
where each of the came from
gently pry up the earpiece speaker with
the flat end of your smudger
but keep in mind that the speaker is
gonna remain attached by a thin delicate
cable
use your eye opener to warm up the
adhesive securing the sensors then slide
a pic underneath the flex cable below to
microphone working left to right slide
the opening pic beneath the flex cable
and underneath the proximity sensor
gently wiggle the ambient light sensor
and lift it up and out of its notch in
the display now remove the earpiece
speaker and front sensor assembly up and
away from the display time to reinstall
the earpiece speaker and assembly to
your new display now we need to reapply
our display adhesive this process can
take a bit of time but lucky for you we
have an entire video walking you through
the process we'll link to it down in the
description below
[Music]
with your new adhesive strips applied
position your display along the side of
the iPhone and prop it up just like you
did during disassembly reconnect all the
cables and then realign the logic board
connector bracket make sure to use the
same screws in the same spots to avoid
damaging your phone then carefully align
the display along the top edge of the
phone and then press the top edge into
place once in place close the phone and
reinsert the panel of screws at the
bottom of the phone
