Removal

Warning

Wearing heat-resistant gloves to perform this procedure is recommended.

Note: Some images of the heated display removal fixture may show a different iPhone model, but the procedure is the same. Be sure to use the correct repair tray for the model you are repairing.

  1. Ensure that the security screws have been removed from the iPhone.

  2. 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.

  3. Take the iPhone out of the repair tray and gently insert it into the adjustable heated display pocket. Ensure that the camera is facedown for display repair or faceup for back glass repair and that the USB-C connector faces the bottom of the pocket. Position the iPhone toward the lower right corner of the pocket. Place three fingers on the iPhone to hold it in position while you turn the knob at the bottom of the pocket clockwise to secure the iPhone. Ensure that the iPhone is centered between the brass bands and is flush with the pocket. If it is not, repeat this step.

    • Caution

      • Don't scratch the iPhone as you insert it into the adjustable heated display pocket.

      • Only turn until the knob is finger tight. Don't overtighten the knob.

    • Display positioning

    • Back glass positioning

  4. Put on the heat-resistant gloves. 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. Turn the knob again to make sure the iPhone stays in the pocket.

    • 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.

  5. Turn the black knob on 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.

  6. 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 (1). Turn the black knob on the fixture clockwise to lower the suction cup onto the back glass or display (2). Then flip down the handle on the suction cup to secure the suction cup to the back glass or display (3).

    • Caution: Failure to align the edges of the suction cup and the back glass or display may damage the iPhone.

  7. Slowly turn the black knob on the fixture counterclockwise until you feel tension and the back glass or display begins to separate from the enclosure. If you see a gap between the back glass or display and the enclosure, skip to step 10. 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 of the knob counterclockwise a quarter turn.

    • Caution: Turn the silver knob only if you haven't seen a gap after waiting for 30 seconds.

  8. Insert the edge of the adhesive cutter between the back glass or display and the enclosure. Run the cutter between the back glass or display and the enclosure to the right and left as shown until the glass partially releases from the enclosure.

    • Caution: To avoid damaging the flex cables, don't tilt up the back glass or display more than five degrees.

  9. Flip up the handle to release the suction cup. Gently slide the flat end of the black stick under the edge of the suction cup to release it from the back glass or display.

    • Caution: Don’t turn the knob to release the suction cup. Turning the knob may damage the flex cables.

  10. Press the eject button on the side of the pocket to release the pocket from the fixture.

  11. Hold both sides of the pocket and slide it straight out of the fixture.

  12. Place the iPhone into the repair tray appropriate for the model with the camera facing up for back glass repair or down for display repair. Remove the gloves.
