Stap 2 Mark your opening picks




• If inserted too far, an opening pick can damage your device. Follow this step to mark your pick and prevent damage.
• Measure 3 mm from the tip and mark the opening pick with a permanent marker.
• You can also mark the other corners of the pick with different measurements.
• Alternatively, tape a coin to a pick 3 mm from the tip.

Got to step 2 and realized the fix kit doesn't include an opening pick! Looks like a guitar pick, and I have those lying around. Is that expected? Looks like the pick is used in many steps below. There's a little blue crowbar that isn't mentioned in the instructions. Perhaps that replaces the opening pick?

Hi! I can't see which guide you were using when writing this comment. Can you reply here with which guide and fix kit you used?
Clay Eickemeyer - 5 jun. 2023
I see you posted this in Meta. I hope it's resolved soon! In the meantime, a guitar pick may work well enough for your repair.

Make sure you check inside the black boxes after emptying them. My pick was stuck inside one of the boxes.

My AliExpress refurbished screen came with a pick that has a coin-like circle that pops out, so no modification was necessary

the picture shows 3 cm but the description says 3 mm's. Which one is it?
John Pena - 9 jun. 2024 Antwoord
That is a misunderstanding. It is a ruler with a scale for cm, it shows 0.3 cm, i.e. 3 mm.

It will ALWAYS be millimeters on a phone, but this step is ridiculous, skip it!
Leif DeWolf - 26 nov. 2024
It's not an Ifixit KIT if it doesn't include everything. You'll need to order the opening pic separately. Or head to Walmart like myself and look for guitar pics. Hopefully, this will work just as well.

No pick in mine as well. It’s really not clear that you have to order this separately when ordering an IPhone SE 202/2022 screen repair kit. Is this the case?
Jackson Castiglione - 26 sep. 2024 Antwoord
Frustrated, I ordered a compact package where everything was encapsulated. Useless suction tools could not separate the screen. If it is unable to decouple the screen, then why sucking suction tools you have provided.

For my kit the triangle pick was stuck inside the box with the screen not with the other tools maybe it's also there for you
Henry Scheibehenne - 5 okt. 2024 Antwoord
Y’all are getting far, FAR too detailed with some of this stuff…. Measuring and marking the pick that you won’t actually use to open the device?!? lol that’s kinda funny. Just heat it up, grab a spudger, and the back just pops right off! The iFixit tech need to stick to the KISS method more often, you know KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID!!! Like l, for reals, I’ve been doing this stuff for YEARS and using iFixit guides regularly and this is just ridiculous at this point!

Stap 3 Tape over any cracks
• If your iPhone has a cracked screen, 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 screen until the whole face is covered.
• Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes from any glass shaken free during the repair.
• If you can't get the suction cup to stick in the next few steps, fold a strong piece of tape (such as duct tape) into a handle and lift the screen with that instead.
• If all else fails, you can superglue the suction cup to the screen.

Had to do the superglue. Also that glass was so shattered that it came off in pieces, took my almost an hour to get the whole screen of. Tape didn't really help there, it would just pull the tape off instead of the screen. Do note that the whole screen assembly is quite thick, I think I initially put my pick in a layer inbetween.

Stap 4 Anti-Clamp instructions

Gereedschap gebruikt in deze stap:
Clampy - Anti-Clamp
$24.95
Koop
• The next three steps demonstrate the Anti-Clamp, a tool we designed to make the opening procedure easier. If you aren't using the Anti-Clamp, skip down three steps for an alternate method.
• For complete instructions on how to use the Anti-Clamp, check out this guide.
• Follow this guide to secure your rear glass with the included tape.
• 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—one on the front, and one on the back.
• Squeeze the cups together to apply suction to the desired area.
• If you find that the surface of your iPhone is too slippery for the Anti-Clamp to hold onto, you can use tape to create a grippier surface.

Stap 5
• Pull the blue handle forward to lock the arms.
• Turn the handle clockwise 360 degrees or until the cups start to stretch.
• Make sure the suction cups remain aligned with each other. If they begin to slip out of alignment, loosen the suction cups slightly and realign the arms.

Stap 6
• Support your iPhone on something sturdy such as a hardcover book so it rests hands-free and parallel to the ground; this makes it easier to work with in the following steps.
• Use a hair dryer to heat along the bottom edge of the iPhone. The screen should feel slightly too hot to touch.
• For complete instructions on how to use a hair dryer, check out this guide.
• Wait one minute to give the adhesive a chance to release and present an opening gap.
• Insert an opening pick under the screen's plastic bezel when the Anti-Clamp creates a large enough gap.
• If the Anti-Clamp doesn't create a sufficient gap, apply more heat to the area and rotate the handle a quarter turn.
• Don't crank more than a quarter turn at a time, and wait one minute between turns. Let the Anti-Clamp and time do the work for you.
• Skip the next two steps.

Stap 7 Heat the bottom edge
• If you're using a suction handle, follow the next two steps to loosen the screen.
• Use a hair dryer or a heat gun to heat the bottom edge of the iPhone for 90 seconds or until the screen is slightly too hot to touch.
• Never leave your hair dryer in one spot for an extended period of time.

Stap 8 Insert an opening pick
• Apply a suction handle to the bottom edge of the phone, while avoiding the very edge of the glass.
• Pull up on the suction cup with firm, constant pressure to create a slight gap between the screen and the frame.
• Insert an opening pick into the gap under the screen's plastic bezel.
• The adhesive holding the screen is very strong; creating this initial gap takes a significant amount of force. If you're having a hard time opening a gap, apply more heat, and gently rock the screen up and down to weaken the adhesive until you create enough of a gap to insert your opening pick.

• Insert a second opening pick in the bottom left corner of the iPhone.
• Twist both picks simultaneously until the left edge clips release.
• Apply the twisting force gradually.
• If you're having trouble separating the adhesive, reheat the left edge.

My glass was so shattered that twisting picks never was going to create enough force for the centre to come loose. I just pulled up the corners with my hands.

Stap 16 Open the iPhone
• Remove your suction handle from the screen.
• Rotate your iPhone so the right edge faces you.
• Open your iPhone by swinging the screen up from the right side, like the front cover of a book.
• Lean the screen against something to keep it propped up while you're working on the phone.
• If you don't have anything at hand to lean the screen against, your suction handle can do the trick.
• During reassembly, lay the screen in position, align the clips along the top edge, and carefully press the top edge into place before snapping the rest of the screen down. If it doesn't click easily into place, check the condition of the clips around the perimeter of the screen and make sure they aren't bent.

Magnetic Project Mat
$19.95

• Use a Y000 screwdriver to remove the 0.9 mm-long screw securing the display connector bracket.
• Throughout this repair, keep track of each screw and make sure it goes back exactly where it came from to avoid damaging your iPhone.
• During reassembly, this is a good point to power on your iPhone and test all functions before you seal the screen in place. Be sure to power your iPhone back down completely before you continue working.

Stap 19 Disconnect the display connector
• Use the pointed end of a spudger to disconnect the display cable by prying the connector straight up from its socket.
• To re-attach press connectors like this one, carefully align and press down on one side until it clicks into place, then repeat on the other side. Do not press down on the middle. If the connector is misaligned, the pins can bend, causing permanent damage.

It is necessary to disconnect the battery flex cable prior to disconnecting the screen to prevent any electrical damage to the device. This guide is inaccurate. You have to remove the rear glass panel first to disconnect the battery.
Alec - 23 aug. 2023 Antwoord
@robialecm It's not necessary, although it is a bit risky to do it without disconnecting the battery by just turning it off. Anyway, I wanted to check if the new screen was working before fully reassembling, otherwise the warranty on my replacement screen would be void. I have to admit I accidentally turned on the phone a few times, it's hard to not press the power button every once in a while. I managed to turn off the phone more or less by pressing volume up then volume down then hold power button then wait until reboot, keep holding power button until screen goes dark, then quickly release. But I was lucky that the new screen didn't sustain any damage because I'm pretty sure the phone was on while I was messing with the display connector.
Gijs Leegwater - 29 feb. 2024 Antwoord
I was very careful reconnecting the cables, and therefore it took my a very long time. Every time I pushed one side, the other side would come out. In the end the trick was to keep one side pressed down while gently - not too gently - pressing the other side.
