Subject: Install Display Assembly Replacement

Applicable Model: Apple iPhone 5(GSM/CDMA)

Introduction:

Use this guide to replace your iPhone's display assembly. Replacing the display assembly will give you a new front glass panel, digitizer, and LCD.

The LCD is adhered to the glass at the factory and the two parts are not

separable without damage.

After successfully replacing the display assembly, protect your new display from scratches by installing a screen protector.

Attentions:

- Please treat your iPhone replacement carefully without crash or

harsh treatments;

- Please do not twist or pinch the lower part of flex cable where is

between the IC chip and LCD display panel (Shown on Step 26)

- Please test our LCD display replacement at the very beginning, rather

then after complete installation. (Shown on Step 10)

- Reassembly is required that all connectors are well connected and

installed properly. Slightly difference would result in improper

working.


Step 1 — Front Panel Assembly11111111111111111111111111111111111

Step 2111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

Before disassembling your iPhone, be sure it is powered off.

Remove the two 3.6 mm Pentalobe screws next to the Lightning connector.

Press a suction cup onto the screen, just above the home button.

Be sure the cup is completely on the screen to get a tight seal.


Step 3111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

Make sure the suction cup is firmly attached to the front panel assembly.

While holding the iPhone down with one hand, pull up on the suction cup to slightly

separate the front panel assembly from the rear case.

Take your time and apply firm, constant force. The display assembly is a much tighter fit

than most devices.

With a plastic opening tool, begin to gently pry the rear case down, away from the

display assembly, while you pull up with the suction cup.

There are several clips attaching the front panel assembly to the rear case, so you may

need to use a combination of the suction cup and plastic opening tool to free the front

panel assembly.

Step 5 —1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

Continue to pry up around the sides of the front panel assembly, detaching the clips

along the left and right side.

Do not try to completely remove the front panel assembly from the rear case, as there

are several ribbon cables still attached at the top of the iPhone.

Once the clips have been released on the bottom and sides of the front panel assembly,

pull the bottom of the assembly away from the rear case.

Lift and rotate the front panel assembly up to about 90 degrees from the rear case.

Use a plastic opening tool to disconnect the three front panel assembly cables:

Front-facing camera and sensor cable (Red)

Digitizer cable (Orange)

LCD cable (Yellow)

When reassembling your phone, the LCD cable may pop off the connector. This can

cause white lines, or nothing at all to appear when powering your phone back on. If that

happens, simply reconnect the cable and power cycle your phone. The best way to

power cycle your phone is to disconnect and reconnect the battery.

After dissemble the original LCD panel, it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to test the new

LCD Display replacement before reassembly.

Make sure they are well connected. Improper connection would result in white lines

vertically.

Use your thumb and press the two flex cables tightly and steadily. Then turn the LCD

display back to the front and power on.

The LCD screen starts as usual.

If no response, please confirm to check the connectors are properly connected again.

Your replacement display may come with a colorful plastic film on the back of the LCD.

If it does, use the pull tab near the home button to peel the plastic film from the LCD

before installing the new display in your iPhone.

Before formal installation, please hold the IC chip (silver square part) steady with your

one thumb.

Be careful of the connection part between the IC chip and the LCD as it must not be

pinched.

Then twist the upper part of the flex cable, like picture 2. It would facilitate the install

afterwards, with avoiding to pinch the part mentioned.


To reassemble your device, please kindly follow these instructions in reverse order. Beware that, it is more difficult and technical to reassemble.
