iPhone First Steps
Always perform the following steps before starting a repair:
Disconnect all cables.
Remove all cases and covers.
Clear and clean your workspace.
Put on an ESD wrist strap and attach it to a properly grounded ESD mat.
Caution
ESD (electrostatic discharge, or the release of static electricity) can damage electronic components.
Be aware of the following while performing a repair:
The manual for this model may show images of other models, but the procedures are the same. Ensure that you use the correct tools for the model you’re repairing.
Take your time. Thoroughly read all instructions and alerts.
Magnetizing the torque drivers will make it easier to work with small screws.
The end of each flex cable must align with its connector. Press the end of each flex cable to its connector until it clicks to ensure that it’s secure.
Warning
Loose screws, extra screws, or small parts inside the device can damage the battery and cause safety issues. Set aside all parts and screws removed during the repair and account for them at the end of the repair.
