How To use Apple's Self-Service Repair Kit To Fix iPhone Screen

When I saw the news that Apple was introducing its self-service repair program in the US here, along with the iPhone screen repair auckland, the iPhone SE was accumulating dust on my desk.

Especially if your broken phone is still covered by warranty, it seems that this new program is more equipped to do its own thing than people trying to save money.


Removing the damaged screen


●      The tool kit arrived as anticipated in a sizable, black rolling case with everything organized inside. The replacement screen and other components were kept in a different, smaller box.

●      For your convenience and security, the instruction manual advises you to keep extra supplies on hand. a work mat, safety goggles, cut-resistant gloves, an electrostatic discharge wrist strap, and other tools in addition to those already present in the case.

●      After arranging my workspace, I need to take out the broken screen as soon as possible. So, The most difficult part of the entire process was this.

●      It is important to note that removing the display from the iPhone SE is not the same as the iPhone 12 and 13 series, for which the adhesive must first be heated.

●      The display removal fixture that is described in the phone's manual appears to be trickier to use than the tool I used.

●      It was simple to unplug the display's cables once the screen was out of the way. How to do this was very clearly described in the repair manual. I purchased extras because it was difficult to keep track of all the tiny screws.


Installing the new iPhone SE display


●      The phone was prepared to receive its new screen after the remaining adhesive residue was scraped off. So, Applying fresh adhesive is the first step in this process, of course.

●      The thin black adhesive strip must be placed precisely around the iPhone's frame, leaving little room for error. I'm glad the display bundle had enough materials for two tries because I was successful on the second try.

●      However, My favorite part was the time after reconnecting all the small cables and screwing everything back into place (So, I would have seen how to magnetize the screwdriver before I started; do yourself a favor and do it.)

●      So, The display press is the most useful piece of equipment in the kit, but you can only use it for only once. You squeeze the new display into place using a large juice press. If you don't want to spend $216 on your display press after the 30-second timer expires, and return to the box.

The repair was completed after I added two new safety screws close to the lightning port.


Conclusion


Because So, I decided to order a repair kit in an attempt to revive this phone, which ultimately turned into a lethal paperweight. I consider cheap iphone screen repair Auckland to be reasonably handy when projects like this are considered.
