-
Power off your iPhone before beginning disassembly.
-
Remove the two 3.6 mm-long P2 Pentalobe screws next to the Lightning connector.
-
-
-
If your display glass is cracked, keep further breakage contained and prevent bodily harm during your repair by taping over the glass.
-
Lay overlapping strips of clear packing tape over the iPhone's display until the whole face is covered.
-
If the broken glass makes it difficult to get a suction cup to stick in the next few steps, try folding a strong piece of tape (such as duct tape) into a handle and lifting the display with that instead.

-
Pull the blue handle backwards to unlock the Anti-Clamp's arms.
-
Slide the arms over either the left or right edge of your iPhone.
-
Position the suction cups near the bottom edge of the iPhone just above the home button—one on the front, and one on the back.
-
Squeeze the cups together to apply suction to the desired area.
-
-
-
Pull the blue handle forwards to lock the arms.
-
Turn the handle clockwise 360 degrees or until the cups start to stretch.
-
Insert an opening pick under the screen when the Anti-Clamp creates a large enough gap.
-
Skip the next three steps.
-
-

-
If you don't have an Anti-Clamp, use a single suction cup to lift the front panel:
-
Press a suction cup onto the screen, just above the home button.
-
-
-
While holding the iPhone down with one hand, pull up on the suction cup to slightly separate the front panel assembly from the rear case.
-
Using a plastic opening tool, begin to gently pry the rear case down, away from the display assembly, while continuing to pull up with the suction cup.
-
-
-
Pull the plastic nub to release the vacuum seal on the suction cup.
-
Remove the suction cup from the display assembly.
-
-
-
Open the iPhone by swinging the home button end of the front panel assembly away from the rear case, using the top of the phone as a hinge.
-
-
-
Open the display to about a 90º angle, and lean it against something to keep it propped up while you're working on the phone.
-
Add a rubber band to keep the display securely in place while you work. This prevents undue strain on the display cables.

I can not get these electrical connections to reconnect. If there is some secret to this it should be noted. I now have a phone all taken apart and can not get it back together. It makes no sense to only give directions to take a phone apart and not to put it back together.
Use sideways bright light and peek underneath as you mate the contacts to align properly. Press very gently and evenly. Others have written that too much pressure in the center may warp the contact.
I'm having the same problem as above...really upset and frustrated at this point. :( 2/4 connectors (top and right) will 'click' just fine...the other two (bottom two) for the life of me wont connect!!!! :( any suggestions? i feel like i have tried everything. Sucks that is only thing stopping me screen from being repaired....
Hi alyssa. Were you able to connect the cables? I am having the same problem
regarding cable connects - if two of the ribbon cables are not properly overlapped around each other, then it will appear as if cable #2 will need to plug into the closest jack, which is actually for cable#3. Look at the two connectors carefully - they are opposite gender and can't be interchanged.
This is good advice, and usually the problem people experience here. There is a very specific way the ribbon cables are layered, and if not correct when reassembled, the reach of the cables will cause you to assume which cable goes where and to try to insert the wrong plugs into the wrong sockets. Please do not try to force them. If they don't snap in easily, examine them closely, and you'll see the plugs and sockets are slightly different sizes, with one wider than the other. Better to take care to note how the cables layer during disassembly, or perhaps mark them to avoid this frustration on reassembly.

omg…. thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Check order of cables. From screen replacement.
my problem is that the connectors are different the screen i replaced it with the connectors were longer than the broken screen even though there the exact same type of screen
Probably just have the cables out of order. Check the posts above.
"gybeho" Ok, but it's impossible to install flex cables out of order. Each one has diferent sizes of docking...
it is very possible to install flex cables out of order. to most people working on their first screen replacement they do not have the experience to notice that their flex cable connection is different than the dock connection. this causes them to press harder and force the connection into the dock, ruining the connections, if they do not think the they have the cables out of order
I'm with Andrew Midgett. The connectors are just plain different in size and orientation. My phone matches what's shown in the picture above. You can see an example of the replacement part if you search Amazon for "Sanka LCD Touch Screen Digitizer Frame Assembly Full Set Screen Replacement for iPhone 6". And Sanka isn't the only iPhone 6 replacement that looks like that, so no hating on that manufacturer here.
Does this mean that some iPhone 6 phones have one set of connectors and some have a different set? FWIW, the model on the back of my phone says A1549.
Update: Searching for iPhone 6S instead of 6 on Amazon, I see lots of replacement screens with connectors that look a lot more like what I have and what's shown in the picture above. (One connector has a horizontal orientation, the other is vertical. I can't be sure whether the pins or dimensions match otherwise.) Any wisdom here?
Had the same problem with the correct layering of cable harnesses. Perhaps an additional photo showing the correct layering would be helpful for 1st timers?
+1 for a photo showing the correct layering and routing of cables. I accidentally routed the home button ribbon above the digitizer ribbon and beneath the power and backlight ribbons. The uneven pressure it put on the digitizer connector after tightening the plate caused my digitizer to not recognize touching the display or made touches appear off center.

For everybody who thinks they can skip these steps I commend you. No way I would have been able to get my battery out - two broken strips - without removing the screen. Re-inserting these cables was not really difficult - once the first one is back in place the rest follow quickly.
I tried to reconnect these for ages until I watched a video of someone else doing it.
Don’t try to line up the connectors by looking at them with the screen leaning on a soda can, just hold the two halves in each hand and line the first one up by feel. Really. After that it’s plain sailing.
Even with great lighting I couldn’t make this work with the bits on the bench - yet when I picked them up it was really easy to feel them line up. I had all four popped back on in about 60 seconds.
Please how much is the battery if converted into Ghana cedis?
1 Ghanaian Cedi equals $0.19 United States Dollar. Therefore, the $30 USD iPhone battery kit equals 161.04 Ghanaian Cedi.
Got it all connected properly but front facing camera won’t work. I heard that connector snap into place but it just doesn’t work anymore. I even took it all apart again and redid that connection but nothing. Bummer, but I’m not a selfie person, I only used it when I was holding my dog on my lap. Everything else works fine after the battery re-install so…whatever.

Its a good advice to remove the battery power before mounting the flex-cables.
There is power on the second logic-board (even if the phone is turned off) connector from top, misplacing it while assembly can cause short circuit.
Will the short circuit damage the logic board or the camera / earpiece assembly? I'm worried just encountered this very issue even though the phone was off. FF camera and earpiece not functioning.
Battery assembly is one of the important procedures working with manual is the best way to repair an iphone 6 screen
Good advice two: When removing the LCD back shield plate have in mind that the home button connector attached to the shield plate is Very fragile. Its adhered to the screen. Use very little force and do not heat the adhesive too much because then it become even More fragile.
I use ifixits metal spudger without heat but one small mistake and it can be teared.
I have now changed two of these on my phone from different suppliers and both haven't worked!
Could it be that both have been defective products or am I doing something wrong!?!?
Kieran -
Hi love what do you do or how do you get replacement cable the one on the screen if you break it I tried fixing my screen before I read your post and yes I tore that tiny cable crying now how do I fix that or even can I.
It was much easier to heat the home button connector at least with hair dryer for half a minute or so and then gently remove the thin cable with some thin spudger. Without heating it felt very firmly glued and much more likely to break
What seems to be the issue you face from the possibly defective parts?
There's so many non-Apple manufacturer's out there that it could be any set of issues. Low quality adhesive or misalignment of the bezzle has been my issue but most Non-Apple LCDs will work fine. And I'm surprised how fast the i6 and i6+ LCDs have came down in price without sacrificing quality. I think Apple's low $100 repair price point has something to do with it.
i try to repair 2 iphone 6 screen and now i have 2 iphone 6 with only lines in the screens and those 2 screen where working just fine
what iam doing wrong ??
i had this problem when i was checking out if my lcd was working when i pulled the glas of.
The problem was i didn't plug the 2 lcd kabels good in.

Make sure all the cables are down correctly. You also may have purchased bad screens.

I was informed by Apple today that the Home Button from original Iphone 6 damaged screen, must be installed on the new replacement screen, otherwise the phone will not operate.
how can i remove the home button in order to replace it on the new front panel?
I tried one on amazon and repair my iphone6 easily.It works perfectly ,the replacement part does sit slightly higher than the oem Apple assembly.I think they have products QA strictly.
here is the product
i tried one on amazon,repair it myself and it works perfectly.The replacement part does sit slightly higher than the oem Apple assembly.I think it very good!
If you reassembling the iphone 6 display do you have to put a glue for it?
Can this be used to replace a cracked iPhone 6s glass?
Wrong order of cords? Steps 14 &15.
I am trying to reinstall the cords and for some reason, the cords seem to be in the wrong order. Can someone help??!!!
Yes very simple fix. This likely happens quite often. You have to lift on the top cord and allow for the middle cord to be repositioned in its proper place. You'll see what I'm talking about upon further investigation! Good success mates. My issue is these darn Chinese screens being defective. Serious issues with pixels and "lines" down middle of screen.
Do the cables on an iphone 6 display fit on the board of a 6 plus? Simply want to test this board and dont have a 6 plus screen assembly at the moment
Nope!
6 has a split loom and screen plugs are different from 6 to 6S

My replacement screen isn't still flushed near the mute button. You can see the light bleed at night. How do I fix it?
My 6 plus screen is cracked, and only about half an inch all the way down on the side shows my screen (sometimes it doesn't, the rest is black with colored lines running down it though it also changes colors sometimes). If I drag my screen down for the notification center I can kind of see it bounce down alittle for a moment.
How do I know if I just need a new panel (about $26) or an entire screen/LCD replacement ($100+)?
Unfortunately, it's not possible to replace the front glass separately without a lot of expensive equipment (and a lot of practice). You will need to replace the entire glass and display assembly as a unit. Be sure to follow the correct guide; the iPhone 6 Plus guide is here.
My fingerprint isn't working. It'ss not even recognizing a fingerprint is being used. What could be the issue? Everything else works.
I had the same problem and last week I upgraded to iOS 10 and VOILÁ, fingerprint WORKING!
I think it is because the fingerprint is configured to work and match its unique iPhone motherboard, So when I changed the screen it lost the connection. Hope it works 4 u!
One thing: I upgraded to iOS 10 doing a FULL RESTORE because I wanted to start from ZERO!

Why go this route when going through apple is cheaper?
Firstly, some people don't have access to a local Apple Store. For example, some more rural states like Alaska, Iowa, or Idaho only have one Apple store, and Montana doesn't have any. Besides that, if you're skilled and confident enough at this procedure it is more convenient to do the work yourself rather than having to go out and get the job done on someone else's schedule.
Because you're wrong and it's not cheaper. Buying the parts here is expensive. Elsewhere it's like $20-30 so.. duh.

Hello jonathan I have no choice then do it by myself
because apple refused to repair an iphone 6 which I had the battery replaced by an unauthorized apple service who’s battery wasnt
good quality so I’m going to fully restore my ol’ iphone 6 replacing the battery and the screen from ifixit and give him a long life I hope! maybe, we’ll see later…
wow this was tricky. i recommend you do this in the beginning of the day with full daylight and patience!
my hand started shanking and my eyes went blurry after one hour. that didn't help!
i replaced the wifi/gps/bluetooth flex ribbon cable just last month so was feeling confident going in.. its not for the light hearted. you can do it but allow several hours
i though the part i'd received was wrong as i couldn't get the digitiser connector and the three other connectors reconnected.. on the right of the front facing camera.. then i realised i had them in the wrong order, after i'd stuffed around with them for ages.
good luck everyone!
its a tricky job. do it in the morning with full energy and daylight!
my hand got shaky and my eyes got blurry one hour in.
My daughter broke her iPhone on Sunday.
I ordered the LCD panel and Digitizer repair kit the same day.
It got to Oslo, Norway Wednesday.
The replacement was smooth and easy using the guid, fixed the Phone and made dinner at the same time.
Spent 50min in total.
Very good experience :)
Can I ask where you bought from? I’m in Oslo too and need a fast screen. Tusen takk

Helpful guide, I had to go ahead and remove the LCD shield and front facing camera as well. The camera was the only difficult thing.
One question- does anyone know why one of the pentalobe screws is refusing to go back in all the way?
Sometimes the screw holes/threads in the display don't align perfectly with the ones in the case. Try pressing down gently on the lower edge of the display and see if the screws go in any further. When the display is aligned correctly, the screws should go in very easily. Just experiment a little, and you'll get it. The only exception I've found is with cheap replacement displays, where the alignment can be a lot more difficult to get right because the part itself isn't really within spec.
Just replaced my screen assembly - pretty straightforward. Now, touch ID doesn't work...yay. Any suggestions?
Hey bro I have had difficulty trying to bring back life to the fingerprint scanner aswell , Anyways it will successfully function properly if you update your phone via iTunes not through the the iPhone settings !, For a better success rate I suggest you fully erase your iPhone through iTunes and start again through its 10 for example ✊ Good luck !
Hi bro hope this guide can help solve your problem:
Once my replacement screen is all plugged in the very bottom of the touch screen doesn't work....like when in calls I can't select favorites, recent calls or voicemail. What did i eff up
I also have this issue! Can anyone help with this?
Gabriel -
I have the same problem. Could you please let me know how you have solved it? The very bottom of my screen is not reacting at all.
I replaced my screen several times. However this time the very bottom of the touch screen doesn’t work/isn’t reacting anymore. (Not able to text or swipe up my control center). Does anybody know a solution for my problem? I would be very grateful.
Read the instructions and comments on this step. You most likely have a digitizer with an incomplete connection to the logic board. Disconnect it and reconnect it, making sure the socket is clean and the connector gets fully seated, and try again. If that doesn’t work, you may have a damaged connector, a damaged cable, or a faulty replacement part. If your old display still works, swapping it back in for a quick test may help you narrow it down. Good luck!
Hi all,
I did this and worked great, although for some reason the on/off button wont work. What do I do now? It was working before hand but isn't now :o
Thanks for the great website!
If your replacement screen looks bluish, try turning on "Night Shift" in "Display & Brightness" setting at all times (e.g. 10AM to 9:59AM), and then adjust the "Color Temperature" until it looks natural. At first I was upset that my replacement screen looked different, but now it looked as good as the old screen!
Great tutorial. Very simple
I have done numerous iphone 6 front assembly replacements but the last two i ordered from ifixit have been defective which means one thing.. I just lost a client. If you order an iphone 6 full assembly, I would go ahead and order the most expensive one. The less expensive ones ( had this problem with the last two I ordered) do not close near the volume buttons.. you can see into the phone and there is a ripple right above the home button anytime the slightest pressure is put on the phone .. either on the screen or home button. Thats two assemblys being returned for being defective. I have been fixing phones for quite a while and this is the first time this has happened to me with any of the parts I ordered from ifixit. Pretty disappointing. Now I have to take this phone to a repair shop and pay them to do it and pay full price just so I can get the phone back to the client. What a bummer.

I did this, all good but touch ID dont work anymore, i changed back to the original home button, erased my phone and restored, still not working, any advice ?
I know it’s an old question, but just went through this and eventually got it working.
Using a new button got me an error on startup that said TouchID could not be enabled. When I swapped in the old original button, that error was not longer present but TouchID setup went right to “Failed”. I did a full DFU reset of the phone, not just an Erase. Restored from backup with iTunes and it finally worked.
Just completed this replacement now.
I'm in China, so i ordered a replacement screen on Taobao for about 300 RMB ($40) and followed these instructions.
Very clear guide, excellent photos and it really pointed out the mistakes not to make.
It took me about 30 minutes on my lunch break at my desk. And now my fully functioning phone is back - home button works, front-facing camera works, earpiece works. All good.
If you take your time, get the correct tools and follow these instructions to the letter, I think pretty much anyone could do this replacement.
Thanks to the author and other commenters for providing input.
Easy peasy. Only fiddly part was trying not to tear the membrane on the Home button. The accompanying video did not mention disconnecting the battery but was helpful for orientation. Magnifying glasses helpful for old farts.
Issue: iPhone 6 "y" spot when texting (with the phone being held upright) isn't reponsing when pressed. The screen isn't cracked, looks great.
Of course, it's been turned on and off. Would replacing the screen fix the dead spot or am I wasting my money.
This is a good guide, but it is literally a miracle that reattaching the ribbon cables fixed my iPhone touch unresponsiveness. Seriously, a direct answer to prayer.
i think i've screwed up in the way, after replacing my screen both my cameras and flash stopped working, it must have got short circuited. can someone please guide me through fixing it, i'm sure the screen and the cable are genuine as they are from another iphone.
The only way you could have short circuited the parts is if you did not disconnect the battery. It's more likely you did not connect the cables correctly and inadvertently disconnected the rear camera cable during reassembly. Have you tested the flash using the flashlight feature or only the camera? It's possible the flash isn't firing solely because there's no camera detected.
I'm disappointed in my replacement assembly. Looking at the comments, it seems that I'm not the only person who's assembly leaks light above the mute rocker and seems less "touchy" than the original screen. Clicking an "a" from the onscreen keyboard, for instance, rarely results in an "a" showing up. You've got to punch at it a few times, which becomes really annoying after only a few sentences.
I've ordered other replacement screens from iFixIt and have been very happy with them in the past. The iPhone 6 replacement assembly isn't quality and I would not recommend purchasing it.
Hi there, Shon! Thanks for your feedback! Sorry to hear about the light bleeding trouble. We'd like to make sure you're satisfied with your purchase with us, so I've contacted you via email so we can try and resolve this issue and get you taken care of. I look forward to your email response. Thanks!
Shon, did they get you a satisfactory replacement?
Awesome! I used this to learn and did my 1st screen replacement! NOW I'm confident starting my business!!!!
I purchased the front panel assembly to repair a cracked screen. After completing the repair, the iPhone would not turn on - it went into a reboot loop, intermittently showing a flashing red screen. I did a hard restart, (unsuccessfully) attempted a DFU restore, all with the same results. Eventually, I checked all the connections on the front assembly to the phone one by one (with the phone disassembled, I plugged in each connector and CAREFULLY booted up the phone). Eventually I narrowed it down to the home button connector on the new front assembly. With this cable attached the phone would not boot, without it connected the phone booted immediately (obviously without a functional home button).
I swapped the aluminum plate from the original front assembly with the new front assembly (the aluminum plate has the home connector cable attached). This immediately fixed the problem and the phone immediately booted and has worked perfectly since then.

Thanks for the great and accerssible guide. Having repaired a few iPhone 5's, this was really easy to get into. However I do have one perssisting problem.
I bought an iPhone 6 replacement screen assembly from the eustore. When assembling everything, I found that the home button connector cable on the bottom of the display unit (step 25) is too long in my replacement part. Thus, it overlaps with the little circuit board part of the home button cable, so the metal bracket does not fit too well when reassembled. This causes the home button to bea little loose, so it can't be fastened in a flush position with the display glass. This bothers me so much that I disassembled everything again, to try and change the position of the wires, without finding a satisfying solution. Is this a known problem with the display assembly?
I have the same problem, I assume. The bracket didn't seem to sit flat when mounting to the screen, and now the home button wobbles.
Followed this guide to fix my broken front panel assembly (got a little mad and my phone paid the price unfortunately). Fortunately though I was able to purchase this kit, and while nerve-wracking, it all worked out great.
I have a replacement lcd panel for my iphone 6plus. my screen is black and unresponsive. how do i make sure my phone is powered down before beginning repair? how do i power it down if the screen is black and unresponsive?
First make sure it is on, you should be able to toggle the silent/ring switch, and it should vibrate if the phone is on, if not, it's probably off (unless you've disables vibration settings). If the phone is on, you might opt to leave it for a day or so to run the battery down to be safe. Otherwise you'll want to be very careful opening the phone and disconnect the battery, carefully, as soon as you can.
If I buy the screen assembly with digitizer, can I use the old, working home button with the new screen? How would I go about removing the home button assembly for both screens? (old and new). Would it just be the same as step 26 and attaching the touch ID one instead?
Follow steps 20-26 to remove your original home button from the broken screen. If your new screen comes with a home button, remove it as well. Put your original home button on the new screen and then install the screen.
The screen I replaced was completely smashed, the islack and suction couldn't hold it so I taped up the screen and used the islack again.
So easy to replace, but just be careful with the home button, it is stuck on real good so prize it out slowly and carefully.
So step 17 with the display cable. I have reconnected it and power cycled 5 times. Still the same result with the white lines. Does the connector come loose that easily? All of them are snapping into place. Any suggestions or have I ruined the screen?
It doesn't come loose that easily. My guess is, it's not getting fully reconnected to begin with. Disconnect the battery, disconnect the display, reconnect the display and then the battery, and do a hard reset. If that doesn't work, you may have a bent pin, a damaged display cable, a defective display, or some other issue.
Thanks for the reply Jeff. I rechecked everything....even the pins. The display is actually defective. I charged it up and powered it on to see the full display. On the left side there is a crack under the screen....Like inside the digitizer itself. It bubbles out like the screen is busted and seems the white lines are like a domino effect from that. Must have happened at the warehouse. The shipping box had no damage and neither did the screen itself. Was the first defective product I've gotten from Ifixit....So it was a surprise. Hopefully they will swap them out so I can finish this iPhone. Thanks again for the reply.
Great guide! If you're attempting to replace a broken screen and save a few bucks, then you probably bought the LCD + Digitizer, without the button, earpiece, and camera. I would direct you to the Front-Facing Camera and Sensor Replacement guide, with one quick note about the home button: In order to have a functioning home button with touch ID it will need to be connected to the device. I almost missed removing the LCD back-plate from my old display. On the back plate is the cable to connect your Home button to the device. It's important so I would recommend removing the back plate immediately after step 26. It can be removed by unscrewing 3 of the 00 Phillips head screws from each side of the bracket. You should end up with 3 from each side and 1 more from the top right of the screw button, making 7 in total. Re-installation of the back plate can be a bit awkward as you have to either turn the display on its side or replace the screws from a horizontal angle. I hope that helps anyone who had trouble like me
This is all true, and we have a complete guide specifically for this scenario. It is linked in the introduction above. ;)
I purchased the front panel assembly to repair a cracked screen. After completing the repair, the iPhone would not turn on - it went into a reboot loop, intermittently showing a flashing red screen. I did a hard restart, (unsuccessfully) attempted a DFU restore, all with the same results. Eventually, I checked all the connections on the front assembly to the phone one by one to be sure they are connected well. Still the same problem. I saw someone else posted a comment with the same problem and found the problem to be with the home button connection. So I unplugged the home button first from the front assembly with no improvement, then I unplugged the home button from the phone side with no results. I put the original screen assembly back on the phone and it works great. Does anyone have any ideas or solutions I would greatly appreciate it?
I found that the the front camera ribbon cable assembly which was pre-assembled with the screen was faulty causing the red screen of death bootloop and the phone worked after I unplugged it. So I took the original off of my original screen assembly and put it on the new one. Now it works great. It is disappointing that after paying for the complete assembly I still had to change and move things around. I hope nothing else goes out on this screen in a few days.

I replaced the display on an iPhone 6. Transferred the home button and front camera components to the new display. Put it all back together. Worked perfect for about 20 minutes then all of a sudden the display disappeared only the backlighting is working with no image. I opened the phone back up to check the connections. All were fine. Decided to plug in the old display and boom backlighting with an image. I'm guessing the new display is no good or has anyone had a similar problem and was able to rectify it??
Left out the last half of disassembly
Sounds like you needed the Front Panel guide, not the Assembly guide. This guide is a simpler version for a more complete part. The intro warns "If your replacement part does not have a speaker or front-facing camera sensor cable you should follow the complete transfer guide." Check that guide out instead!
Das ist alles schön und gut ! Ihr solltet aber erwähnen das alle Teile so klein und filigran sind das man das mit bloßen Auge kaum sieht !! Ich bin nicht gerade ungeschickt und habe es nicht wieder zusammen bekommen!!
Worked great! Just be systematic in the way you store your parts (screws, mainly) during dissassembly. I used the plastic grid on the back of the iFixit bit case.
This really helped me understand in detail how to replace my ihpone scree:
Can anyone help me here? I've followed all the steps to replace the front panel assembly and my phone still won't turn on. the front panel assembly works on my other (Newer) I Phone 6. Battery and Lightning connector work fine. the screen will not turn on an the phone just beeps. it connects to iTunes but askes to enter my password.
If you want to avoid a potential "error 53" in the future when updating your iPhone, you will need to get the screen metal shield from the cracked screen and replace it on the new screen. The screen metal shield has the cable that connect the home button to the motherboard.
If you just replace the cracked screen with a new assembly one ( which has its own metal shield and home button cable glued to it ) the iPhone motherboard could potentially not recognize your home button sensor and go into "brick mode" .
There is a video from the guys at ifixit.com explaining this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IEWAQiu...
I cracked the screen of my iPhone 6 and will replace it myself following my suggestions
Error 53 was resolved with iOS 9.3, so there's not really much danger of bricking your phone anymore.
I replaced the cracked screen and ported over the metal shield from the cracked screen in order to avoid any potential issues with the home button.
The hardest part was to unstick the lower connector of the home button flat cable: that glue was quite strong and the possibility of damaging the flat cable was quite realistic!
Thanks to the guide all went well!
Ho ricomposto l'iphone dopo la riparazione, tutto ok, dopo 10 minuti si è spento il display e ora non rimane nero, ho ricollegato il vetro vecchio e anche quello non funziona, come posso risolvere per favore?
I replaced the iPhone 6 screen. Turned it on. It came off, then before fully booting, went off, then went on, then went off ,,,,
What could be causing this? Can I fix it?
Ihr seid unschlagbar - SUPER
der TocuID funktioniert nach dem EInbau nicht mehr, egal wie vorsichtig man ist. Oder gibt es einen Trick?
Eine super Anleitung! Der wechsel des Display hat mit der Anleitung super funktioniert! Der Homebutton konnte sogar mit viel ruhe ohne erwärmung gelöst werden. Ebenfalls konnte das Jabel am Homebutton ohne Erwärmung gelöst werden!
Every step was perfect, thank you very much for this manual. Saved my phone.
I replaced the front panel and have no issue with display however Touch ID is not functional at all. Ive checked connection. Its got the plate screeer
Down on top of the connector. Am I missing something?
I am having the same issue, did you figure it out?

Even with having to pull the camera and home button replacing the screen really isn't too hard of a repair. Just follow the instructions and mark your parts (including screws) as you remove them.
Great informational guide. Highlighting the concerns in red helps you to identify the possible failure/focus points. Replacing the digitizer and the Touch ID button were made easy because of it. Thank you for the detailed illustrations. The excitement I feel completing this project is so satisfying!
I just replaced my front panel assembly for my cracked screen. Even though it took me forever ( I am slow!) everything went well. The only trouble I had was when I was screwing in the last screw! I tried and tried and finally reopened the face and took a look. One of the screw holes in the tab of the new screen replacement cover had not been drilled through! I worked on it a little, bent it and then it broke off. I now only have one screw in place of the original 2. The cover of course snaps into place nicely and it is holding with one screw. What would you do?
hello to all guys, after replacing the front panel, my friend to whom i replaced the panel says they have occasionally the freezers of the touch screen when unlocking the phone or answering the calls .. quite random! we have to replace the spare part but the problem seems to remain .. do you have an idea of how to proceed?
thanks to all
andrea
A Apple Engineer told me once, that you can avoid losing Touch ID functionality or Error 53, if you consequently disable Touch ID beforehand.
Anyone can support this statement?
I replaced a cracked screen on an iPhone 6. Changed the home button from the old screen to the new. Double checked all my connections with a dual lens magnifier for proper connection. Reassembled everything……… BUT now when I turn it back on to reboot all I get on the screen is the apple icon with a white background………. HELP???? It will flash on and off every few seconds with the same apple icon in the middle of the screen with a white background and won’t fully reboot. What am I missing? is the new screen kit bad? Should I swap the back metal shield with touch ID cable? I’ve fixed more i5’s then I can count but this is my first i6 fix…….………..
Update, I put the old screen back on and it works fine. Is the new screen I bought from ifixit bad?
EASY! Just don’t drop a screw, or two in my case! Good thing my 5 y/o daughter has god eyes because it was dropped in heavy pile carpet. Works great.
what is the panel that you have to take off the old screen and to put on a new screen?
Great guide, thanks a lot. A comment about why it is useful to disconnect the battery might be helpful in Step 10-12.
Easy to do.combonation of the steps and video. I didn’t disconnect screen but supported it like the picture. Hardest part was removing adhesive and then putting new adhesive back on. The Ifixit tool kit was essential. Back to full power in 20 minutes.
It won’t let me buy $@$* ,’:(
one of he screw in the home button refuse to come out.. :( I use the 000 screwdriver that I bought in the ifixit kit, and only one of them is not coming out. i’m stuck.
I took this on. I though it would be easy, but it did get a little difficult for me mostly because I’m an old guy and my eyes aren’t that great anymore, so handling the tiny screws and getting the microphone and proximity sensor assembly all back together right was a challenge. I think if I get one of those hood things with the magnifying glasses I’ll be a better iFixiter. Other than that everything worked just as I expected and as described in the tutorials. I completed a successful replacement of my wife’s cracked iPHone 6 display. She’s very happy and I’m very happy because we saved a good chunk of change and she only had to be without her phone for about 4 hours. It did get a little “dicey” after the first hour of her not having her phone…but…mission accomplished….LOL!!! Thanks iFixit!
Tolle Anleitung, die Reparatur hat super geklappt, danke dafür!
In your tear down you did not mention the removal and reinstall on the touch button ribbon heat plate. When I purchased my new screen / digitizer it did not come with one. When removing the screws, Three on the left stripped out. It was a pain… had to take it to a local phone repair place to have them extract. After that it was ok until reconnecting the (4) ribbons. they would not connect in sequence. After a frustrating time, figured out the heat plate was not installed correctly. There is a little flap at the top of the new screen that had a small piece of tape that needed to be removed. Then that flap needed to be placed under the plate to allow the ribbons to align. Have to say that steady hands really help. Those micro screws are tricky with large shaky hands.
I replaced my cracked screen with a screen from RSTH on amazon, I did everything right but I think I may have scratched up the cables on the replacement screen because once I turn on the phone, I have lines all over. Is there any way to fix this or will I have to get another replacement?
Mit dieser Anleitung ist der Austausch des Displays wirklich sehr gut gelungen und war fast ein Kinderspiel!
30 Minuten und schon glänzte der Bildschirm wieder. Das iPhone funktioniert tadellos!
Danke! Einziges Problem beim Zusammenbau: oben links sitzt das Display nicht ganz bündig! Dieses Problem wurde aber weiter oben auch schon von einigen Nutzern beschrieben. Ob es nun daran liegt, dass die neue Displayeinheit nicht exakt passt oder der Einbau nicht ganz korrekt ausgeführt wurde?
Touh does not work anymore!!! any ideas? I only replace the display and battery, I kept the same Home Button. But now now Touch ID. !!
I follow the steps and it turns out that my touche id did not work, but I figured out how and now my touche id is working again without hustle

Anyone have experience with a damaged thermal plate? Replacement screen/digitizer did not come with a thermal plate so I transferred from the broken screen. New screen lights up but when I plug in the thermal plate cable screen goes black. When I unplug it the screen comes back on. Will a new thermal plate fix this?
I just replaced a cracked screen and a worn out battery with iFixit parts. Very straightforward, I had read the instructions and watched the video several times, and never even had to refer back to them during the procedure. One tip for you guys, when you sell a battery, does it not make sense to also sell the special tapes that hold it to the case? double sided tape works, but still, you are missing out on a perfect opportunity for an add on sale (would you like fries with that?). I sure would have ordered them if prompted…
I just replaced the screen and battery on my IPhone 6 and everything went without a hitch, even when the adhesive strips broke. However, once I installed the screen and turned it on, the colors look dull, like they are lacking contrast. All the functionality is working correctly, and the screen is perfectly responsive. Is this an issue with the part? could it be a problem with the installation?
Really great guide. Pictures are super clear and the screw size identification is great. Tip for keeping track of the screws - use a white piece of paper and note the step and screw size and then place the screw next to the note so you don’t lose track of each screw.
Also, really easy to break the home button cable strap. Perhaps follow the guide which says use heat, rather than force. Let’s just say I broke mine. Now I have no touch ID. First world problem.
Very thorough and concise. I completed this and was extremely pleased with the clarity of the guide. The only part that made me nervous was the reconnecting of the digitizer display cable and the like. Other than that, I felt ‘somewhat’ confident armed with this guide. Many thanks!

I have just replaced screen assembly. New screen is very dim after iPhone starts -up. Could this be a problem with proximity sensor?
The screen only seems dim at the point the PIN number is required (seems oK when Apple logo is displayed during bott process).
@haslamit Make sure Auto Brightness is turned on in Settings, and Reduce White Point is turned off. Open Control Center and watch the brightness slider as you slowly walk from a very bright area to a very dark one and back. If the slider doesn’t move and brightness doesn’t change, there may be a problem with your new screen or with the screen’s ambient light sensor. It could be malfunctioning, or could be installed incorrectly. Also, sometimes new screen components are covered by protective films that need to be removed before installation. Hope this helps!
I have replaced 4 iPhone6 screens now with this iFixit part and this guide.
Great job. Please keep it up.
Hi there, I followed each step back and forth (minutely) , and the screen wont turn on. When I connect the damaged screen back erverything seems to work.
Is there any step I may be doing wrong? Thank you.
That sounds like a pretty straightforward case of a faulty replacement part. If it came from iFixit, just contact the customer support folks and they’ll fix you up with an exchange unit. Before you do that though, compare the new display with the old one and make sure it’s the correct part—I keep seeing first-timers trying to install a 6s display in a standard iPhone 6 or vice versa, and that’s never going to work no matter how many times you try ;)
After I change my screen if I connect de home button my screen will not came on what can be de cost please some one should help
Everything on my phone seems like new after my screen replacement except ……. the home button doesn’t work!
I’ve tried disconnecting and reconnecting the home button connection (very small and fiddling) and I’ve done the same with the battery connector and the home button connection on the logic board but still no different!
Any ideas?
The thing that I’m not happy about was the home button removal, there didn’t seem like there was much adhesive holding it in. The cable attached to it was reasonably secure though but even so came away easy. This seems contrary to other comments I’ve read on here where they have had a lot of difficulty.
@algy Maybe try reinstalling your old display, and see if the home button works. The home button connects to the logic board by way of a cable that’s part of the display assembly, which you just replaced—so if it works with the old display but not the new one, the most likely answer is you received a defective replacement part.
Hi Jeff, thanks for your suggestion, that was my next step. So, I’ve just done that and everything works perfect again - except the broken screen of course, but no problem with the home button!
just got to convince the suppliers now of course
In your other tutorials, you mention adding heat when removing the screen (e.g in iphone 8 screen repair tutorial) to loosen up the adhesive, is that not needed on this model?
Also, the parts you sell, are they OEM?
-George
There’s no adhesive securing the screen on iPhone 6 and earlier models—that actually makes them easier to work with. As for the OEM question, it varies tremendously based which part you need. Have a look here.
After my iphone 6 screen was replaced callers can no longer hear me. I’ve read that this happens when one of the mics is not aligned properly during the screen replacement. Voice memos work fine, and I can hear callers but they cannot hear me. If you possibly have any suggestions on how I can repair this issue I would appreciate it very much. I desperately need a working phone! Thank you!
Great job with this guide. Took me 20 minutes to replace broken screen. Thank you!!!
Ok got front panel assembly in along with the lighting cable connector. Everything works great except I seem to have a blue hue to my screen. And a couple spots of blue on lower screen and a blue line across top of screen also. The blue color is very light but noticeable. What could be wrong? And when I go outside it looks to almost disappear out in the sunlight? Any advice at all would help…
Excellent guide, thank you. Was a bit worried when I turned on to a blank screen, but re-reading the guide I realised the display data cable had disconnected, and it was easy to go in a second time around and reconnect - slowly and patiently! Now works as new, guide and advice much appreciated.
Installed new screen, but have bluish color. Followed guide, but it seems there is some issue either with the part or something else? Managed to adjust the color in Display and Brightness with Night Shift color temperature, but now cant really use Night Shift for its actual purpose.
So the lay of the land is that my iphone 6 screen just cracked. It has a crater near the top and theres the spiderweb around it. Now I know the phone itself still works, its just that when I turn it on, the screen has a white thing in the middle, but theres a bright black showing the screens on and I see the liquid inside it. But theres nothing else so idk what to do. I don’t have any money to try and replace the screen myself or get a new one or buy tools. So im in a hole, any way I can still revive my phone (or at least be able to use instagram/snapchat to text?)
Muito Bom!!!
Struggling to put the top left screw back on the cable plate. Phone has power. Backlight is coming on but screen is black
Very nervous about this project, but ended up working flawlessly! Thanks for the great tutorial.
Only thing that concerned me was when I was reinstalling the home button the wire that is connected on the replacement screen wasn’t glued down like my original apple screen, which made reattaching the home button more complicated.
Broken screen replacement and major tool is a suction cup to grip the screen??!??! Come on no one said wait, if their screen is broken how will you secure it to a broken screen?
Hi Tim! Concerns about removing a broken display are directly addressed in step two! “Lay overlapping strips of clear packing tape over the iPhone's display until the whole face is covered. This will keep glass shards contained and provide structural integrity when prying and lifting the display.” and “If the broken glass makes it difficult to get a suction cup to stick in the next few steps, try folding a strong piece of tape (such as duct tape) into a handle and lifting the display with that instead.” This guide is also used as a prereq for every other replacement guide, so many screens are intact when the user opens the phone to replace a battery or speaker.
Help, I followed the process, but when I restarted my phone it tried to start again and again, displaying the Apple logo for few seconds and shut down and redisplayed the logo, etc.
What have I done wrong ?
So do I need to remove the home button at all if the new kit comes with it already built in? I don’t care about touch-id capabilities (it’s my daughters phone)
completed and works great. Thanks!
Regarding the issue of touch ID not working:
This is how I solved the problem and thought I would contribute:
After I disassembled the phone, changed the front panel and reassembled the phone, the touch ID did not work.
I then reopened the phone, disconnected the battery, twisted the phone so it was lying in reverse with the screen facing down and the bottom of the phone standing in 90 degrees. Then I removed the home button bracket (shown in step 22), disconnected the home button cable connector (step 23), connected the home button cable connector back again and this time it sort of “clicked” into the socket and when I pressed on the top of it again a second time it felt like it sort of clicked into it one extra time or further into it.
Then I put the home button bracket back on again, connected the battery, switched the phone on and the touch ID works.
Hopes this helps!
This was my first attempt to repair an iPhone. The digitiser cable was extremely fiddly to reattach but otherwise everything went fine!
After having changed a dozen of iPhones’ batteries for friends, I had to change the display of my iPhone 6. I meticulously followed the instructions given here and encountered no problems at all. The home button needs to be handled with care, other than that it’s quite an easy change.
After I had connected the new display, I also connected the battery and started the phone having it open like a clamshell, just to be sure I didn’t make any mistakes. Everything started as it should. Then I shut it off again for the final assembly.
I replacing the screen and now nothings work, no video appear, nothings look like working anymore but when I press the power button and home button then Iphone appear on the Itunes page but the iphone continue without display and I can no see what need to appear on my iphne to continue and fix it, what can I do
Great guide. Followed everything down to the ‘t’. Having the iSclack and the spudger tool was essential. Also, invest into some reading glasses for putting the screws back in. %#*@ near went cross-eyed!
hi everyone,
i have 2 iPhone 6 here and both are screens remain black, i have 2 new screens and 2 old, but the screens are still black.
the phones are working, when i plug them into the PC, everything works, besides the screen.
What could be damaged or what can i test?
best regards
Sounds like a blown backlight circuit. That’s very fixable for a professional with microsoldering skills, but it’s an advanced repair that is beyond the scope of this guide.
Merci pour ce tutoriel les explications sont vraiment claire et précise
Hi, I found these instructions to be immensely helpful. However, the replacement part iFixit sent is missing a feature - the case won’t close completely because there is nothing to receive the P2 Pentalobe screws. The original part has two tabs that the screws bite into, you can see them in picture 8, if you imagine the open case is a mouth they are the “fangs” poking down from the top. Again, the replacement part doesn’t have these.
Anyone else have this problem? This seems like a big deal because the case won’t close and dirt and pocket lint are going to get inside the phone.
Hello Jessica. What you say is a mistake. All screens have those hooks for pentalobe. Contact iFixit and request a change from that screen.

Hi please which component should be changed when the iPhone 6 does not charge and not turn on
Step 0: It always reflects more favorably on the submitter when the submitter posts a question to a relevant place, instead of stopping at the first place he/she came to.
Step 1: check your lightning cable connector. In my experience, the 3rd pin from the left (connector end of cable pointing to you) develops carbon build-up (and even pitting, as if from electical arcing.) Use a q-tip with alcohol to clean these 2 pins on the connector. You may get better results from using an alcohol-soaked wooden toothpick. This applies to pins on both sides (“top” & “bottom”) of the connector. With the phone off, do the same for the matching contacts on the phone’s female lightning socket. When cleaning the socket, move the alcohol tool (toothpick) in and out, along the direction of the contact. If you rub side-to-side, you will likely push the socket contacts out of alignment.
Step 2: if step 1 doesn’t improve things, then exert a little more effort to find a relevant page for your question on this site.
Best!
This was far easier than the changing the screen on a 5S.
Good set of instructions. Few comments/tips:
(1) DO get the right screwdriver for the Pentalobe screws. The screws have thread-lock on them, and trying to use a knife point or other stop-gap will damage the heads, making them nigh-on impossible to remove.
(2) Use an ice-cube tray to put the screws and brackets in, in the order you remove them - makes reassembly easier
(3) It’s easy to lose the tiny screws. If you *slightly* magnetize your screwdriver, it’s a lot, lot easier to remove and refit without dropping the screws. (To magnetize: take a strong magnet and stroke it once along the screwdriver.) iPhones are not harmed by magnets.
(4) If you do lose a screw, sweeping a strong magnet back and forth over your trousers (before you stand up!), then chair seat, then floor will usually recover it.
(5) As per comments above, easiest way to refit the connectors is by feel. Use the force, Luke!
äh wie bitte? hier fehlt die hälfte?? wo ist das verpflanzen der backing plate. kamera und lautsprecher??? dachte ifixit wäre gut, da ist ja die china anleitung kompletter!
Hi Luke, du hast wahrscheinlich ein etwas anders Ersatzteil gekauft (ohne Komponenten vorinstalliert). Dies hier ist die Anleitung für das Screen Assembly (ale Komponenten bereits am Screen dran).
Für dein Ersatzteil haben wir diese Anleitung: iPhone 6 LCD and Digitizer Replacement
Very useful. Best forum to repair iPhones……. Thumbs Up… JazakAllah…
What do you do if your screen is responsive, hence the need to replace the screen . I can’t shut down my phone since it doesn’t respond. I don’t want to damage anything else if there’s still power to the phone. Do I just wait for the battery to drain before attempting this replacement?
Hi Nina,
Yes, you can wait for the battery to drain first. Doing so will also make the iPhone safer to open.
Great instructions very detailed yet short and simple to the point!
Did it all correctly but phone still won’t access the display . I think I might have not gotten the ribbon cable completely seated, but I’ll have to take it apart again to be sure. It took me over four and a half hours to do this job. I don’t have a good working bench so that hindered me greatly. But I liked the guide for the most part. However, I would be happier if there were some guidance in the reassembly. Can’t have everything. I’ll keep working on it in between coronavirus scares in my family.
I replaced my screen with the iFixit Kit and transferred the home button successfully. After reassembling the iPhone the wifi signal is weak. When lifting the screen from the housing the signal becomes strong, putting back the screen onto the housing it is weak again. Any ideas? Some shortage?
Hi Axel,
It may be that an antenna cable may be shorting. Check if this isolation foam is still on the top of the antenna cable.
Great guide. Just finished repairing my wife’s iPhone 6. She is happy ==> I am happy.
Tirso
The step that took the most time was the attachment of the digitizer cable connector. Finally I felt a small click on one end, and then the other. Whew! Thanks for the clear instructions!

Do iPhones come with a thin line of black glue around the edges, or is this possibly a refurbished phone? I thought it was new from bestbuy. screen was glued down when I took it off.
That glue in the later phones is for water proofing…the fact that the glue is there means that the phone is new and was never opened.
Hi, I did an iphone 6 lcd replacement. I conncected all the connectors properly and phone did owrk. So I switched off and started tightening the bolts. Then when I switched it on, it didn’t start up. But the camera area gets really hot. What should I do?
What is with the front camera and the speaker?
Once I had installed my replacement, complete LCD + touch, screen and turned “on”, it stayed black. Near the selfie camera+ear speaker it warmed up as felt by the finger tips. But nothing else happened. So I installed my old screen with its “spider app” again. That worked as before. So the replacement went back as faulty and a new one came in.
When replacement 2 was installed and turned “on”, it stayed black. — Unmounted and carefully installed again: stayed black again. Hm, really another faulty replacement ?? Installed my old screen with spider app back again. Stayed black on turning “on” ! Did I break something ? Lets try loading the battery (it was almost full before though). Apple sign appears now on “on”, phone works again. So replacement 2 was installed again. This time the apple sign appeared after turning “on”. It works !
For me, the price differential to the screen without home button did not make it worthwhile to have the extra hassle.
At low brightness iPhone 6 works fine
if brightness increased white lines appear at top portion of phone
does this means screen has to replaced ?
Re-assembling the screen - Step 9 (reverse): I am stuck at re-assembling the screen onto the phone (step 9 - reassembling). The screen keeps sticking out at the bottom of the phone (home button side). Cannot put the final 2 screws as the screen is not properly in place… (too high) :-(
@Didier Guillevic you might have the screws in the wrong configuration. I use electrical tape to put them in the order they came out itn. also there is a small connector at the top of the batter that may have moved or came undone. good luck!
I replaced the screen pretty easily. The screen and front facing camera work, but when I make a phone call, the screen blinks and mostly stays off. I cant seem to turn it on to hang up the call or anything. It seems like the proximity sensor is the issue, but I do not know how to troubleshoot this.
Merci, votre precision est correcte !
my volume up rocker does not work post repair. Because of this I cannot get into fast boot mode to calibrate the fingerprint scanner.
I did this but now my phone overheats a lot and won't turn on
The guide is quite good but incomplete. After step 26 it is necessary to unscrew and take off the front camera shield, then the ear speaker, the front camera and the screen back shield (as the touch ID button connects there)
This guide is A+ for the specified device! All of the steps/information is direct and easy to follow. Anyone claiming that there is information missing is undergoing a longer project. Great work Walter! Much appreciated.
There is definitely steps missing. I am replacing the screen on my iPhone 6 and I got to the end of this guide and I still need to dissasemble the selfie camera and the screen back shield as Carlos Antonon stated on 6 October 2023. I cannot just reverse the steps from step 26 to put my new screen back on the phone and have it work properly.
