If your display or back glass is badly cracked, covering it with a layer of clear packing tape may help the suction cups adhere. The iSclack also includes two pieces of tape for this purpose. Hold onto your iPhone securely and close the handle of the iSclack to separate the suction cups, pulling the front panel up from the rear case. The iSclack is designed to safely open your iPhone enough to separate the pieces, but not enough to damage any of the display cables.
If your display is badly cracked, covering it with a layer of clear packing tape may allow the suction cup to adhere.
Alternatively, very strong tape may be used instead of the suction cup. If all else fails, you can superglue the suction cup to the broken screen. 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. Using a plastic opening tool, begin to gently pry the rear case down, away from the display assembly, while continuing to 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. Pull the home button end of the front panel assembly away from the rear case, using the top of the phone as a hinge. Add a rubber band to keep the display securely in place while you work.
This prevents undue strain on the display cables. Several clips along the top edge of the front panel form a partial hinge, allowing the front panel assembly to swing open like a book. During reassembly, align the clips just below the top edge of the rear case. Then, slide the front panel upward until its top edge is flush with that of the rear case. Use a clean fingernail or the edge of an opening tool to gently pry the battery connector up from its socket on the logic board. Take care to only pry up on the battery connector, and not the socket on the logic board.
If you pry up on the logic board socket, you may break the connector entirely. Remove the following Phillips screws securing the front panel assembly cable bracket:.
Do not attempt to insert longer screws into the red marked screw holes. Doing so may result in irreparable damage to the logic board. In the next four steps, take care to pry up only on the cable connectors, and not on their sockets on the logic board. While still supporting the front panel, use a fingernail or the edge of an opening tool to disconnect the front-facing camera and earpiece speaker connector. Make sure the battery is disconnected before you disconnect or reconnect the cable in this step.
When reassembling your phone, the display data cable may pop off the connector. This can result in white lines or a blank screen 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 connector. When reconnecting the digitizer cable, do not press the center of the connector. Pricing offered by Apple Authorized Service Providers may vary. All fees are in USD and exclude local tax.
Avoid waiting for an appointment or traveling to a store. We can send you a box right away to collect your iPhone. Make an appointment at an Apple Store or one of our Apple authorized service locations. In more complex cases, we might need to send it to an Apple Repair Center. If we do, your iPhone will be ready for pickup in business days.
It will only add about 5 minutes or so to the project, but could save hours and dollars. Also, take your time removing the battery adhesive strips. If they break off underneath the battery, they are a bear to get out. I definitely skipped ahead and left these attached. I just held the screen up and only laid it down to apply the adhesive to the new battery. I stuck the screen on to an iPhone box just like in the photo and did not have to remove the display cables. BUT, you need to be very careful -- especially if the white strips break on you.

Continue pulling and re-grab the strip near the battery if necessary. Hold down the battery as you remove the second strip, or the strip may fling the battery when it separates from the case. If you removed both adhesive strips successfully, skip to step Wait about one minute for the alcohol solution to weaken the adhesive.
Use the flat end of a spudger to gently lift the battery. Don't try to forcefully lever the battery out. If needed, apply a few more drops of alcohol to further weaken the adhesive. Never deform or puncture the battery with your pry tool.
Do not insert the spudger in the area between the volume down - button and the top edge of the battery, or you may damage the volume control cable lying underneath. Do not pry against the logic board or you may damage the phone. For alternative methods to unstick the battery, continue with the next step below. If you successfully removed both adhesive strips, move on to the next step. Otherwise, you will need to pry the battery from the rear case. Prepare an iOpener and apply it to the back of the rear case, directly over the battery.
Otherwise, you can apply heat using a heat gun or hair dryer. Alternatively, a piece of dental floss may be used to separate the battery from the rear case. A stronger alternative to dental floss is an unwound guitar string, such as a 0.
Thread the floss or string behind the upper battery corners, bring the ends together, wrap them around a folded cloth, and pull evenly. If your replacement battery came in a plastic sleeve, remove the sleeve before installation by pulling it away from the ribbon cable. If there's any alcohol solution remaining in the phone, carefully wipe it off or allow it to air dry before installing your new battery.
Before you adhere the replacement battery, temporarily reconnect the battery connector to the logic board socket. This ensures that the battery is properly aligned in its recess.
Perform a forced restart after reassembly. This can prevent several issues and simplify troubleshooting. Take your e-waste to an R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler.
