Removal
Ensure that the correct PL1.1 screws have been removed from the iPhone depending on whether you're opening the back glass or the outer display.
Flip the switch on the back of the heated display removal fixture to turn it on. The internal fan will turn on. Wait for a checkmark to appear on the screen.
Note: If an error code appears on the screen, turn off the fixture and turn it back on.
Gently insert the iPhone into the adjustable heated display pocket with the USB-C connector facing the bottom of the pocket. Turn the black knobs on the pocket clockwise until the iPhone is centered between the brass bands.
Caution: Don’t scratch the iPhone as you insert it into the pocket.Display positioning: Ensure that the rear camera is facedown.
Back glass positioning: Ensure that the rear camera is faceup.
Align the cutout on the bottom of the pocket with the rail on the fixture. Slide the pocket with the iPhone along the rail and into the fixture until you feel the pocket click into place.
Ensure that the iPhone is centered between the brass bands and is flush with the pocket. If it’s not flush, press the eject button on the side of the pocket to release the pocket from the fixture. Then repeat steps 3 through 5.
Note: The screen on the fixture will turn red and the timer will count down from 2 minutes while the pocket heats to the correct temperature. When the timer shows 0, the fixture will start to beep and the screen will turn green.
- Caution: To avoid damaging the iPhone, don’t proceed to the next step before the timer shows 0, the fixture beeps, and the screen has turned green.
Turn the black knob on top of the fixture clockwise as shown to lower the suction cup as close to the iPhone as possible without touching the iPhone.
Note: The fixture will beep until the suction cup is lowered.
Grasp the handle and slide the suction cup straight out until the edge of the suction cup aligns close to the bottom edge of the glass. Turn the black knob on the fixture clockwise to lower the suction cup onto the back glass or outer display. Then flip down the handle on the suction cup to secure the suction cup to the back glass or outer display.
- Caution: Failure to align the edges of the suction cup and the back glass or outer display may damage the iPhone.
Slowly turn the black knob on the fixture counterclockwise until you feel tension and the back glass or outer display begins to separate from the enclosure.
If you see a gap between the back glass or outer display and the enclosure, skip to step 9.
If you don’t see a gap immediately, wait 30 seconds.
If you still don’t see a gap after 30 seconds, turn the silver section on the knob on the fixture counterclockwise a quarter turn.
- Caution: Turn the silver section on the knob on the fixture only if you haven’t seen a gap after waiting for 30 seconds.
Insert the edge of the adhesive cutter along the bottom edge of the iPhone between the back glass or outer display and the enclosure.
Run the cutter along the bottom edge only of the outer display or back glass and the enclosure until the glass partially releases from the enclosure.
- Caution: Don’t cut around the edges of the iPhone.
Flip up the handle to release the suction cup. Turn the black knob to release the suction cup from the back glass or outer display.
- Caution: Don’t turn the knob on the fixture to release the suction cup. Turning the knob on the fixture will lift the back glass or outer display and may damage the flex cables.
Press the eject button on the side of the pocket to release the pocket from the fixture. Hold both sides of the pocket and slide it straight out of the fixture.
Turn the black knob on the pocket counterclockwise until the pocket is fully open. Remove the iPhone from the pocket and place it in the repair tray with the rear camera faceup for back glass repair or facedown for outer display repair.
