Repair information and guides for the iPhone 6S released by Apple on September 25, 2015. Models: A1688, A1633

Screen wont fit after replacement (the bottom part)

Hi! I ordered a replacement screen for my broken iphone from China and i replaced the screen succesfully. Seems to work fine but the bottom part near the home button doesnt close properly. Im afraid to press it too much because i am afraid it will break. I was able to screw back the pentalope screws but the corners wont go in. Has anyone else had this problem? Maybe the dimensions of the replacement screen are off a bit?

Had the problem quite a few times unfortunately. Unless there are bumps on the housing edges one can fix, there are chances the aftermarket screen is a bit oversized. Try carefully using some fine sandpaper to reduce thickness of top joints that firm top part of the screen, that should do the trick.

Just wanted to say thank you for posting the problems with new screen not fitting. The bottom of the screen would not go in and I was so afraid of breaking it. After reading your post I took a closer look and discovered I could push in just under the screen and it slipped in. You gave me the courage to carry on with the installation.

Its Quite common for the iphone 6s having one of the home key bracket screws to come loose and sit around the bottom area preventing it from closing properly check around your dock and even sitting on the ringer as its magnetized. also if you have any bend in the frame this will also prevent it from sitting correctly.
