Wat je nodig hebt

  1. iPhone 17 Pro Taptic Engine Replacement, Safety precautions: stap 1, afbeelding 1 van 2 iPhone 17 Pro Taptic Engine Replacement, Safety precautions: stap 1, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • Let your iPhone's battery drain below 25% before starting this repair—a charged lithium‑ion battery may catch fire if damaged.

    • Unplug all cables from your phone.

    • Hold the power and either volume button and slide to power off your phone.

    • Glass shards can complicate disassembly—or worse, cause injury. If your phone is cracked, follow this step.

    • Apply strips of packing tape to the cracked glass until it's completely covered—this will help keep the glass contained and allow the suction cup to stick.

    • Make sure there's a single strip of tape (not overlapping) across the bottom edge, big enough for a suction cup to fit on.

    • Only cover the glass itself—don't stick any tape to the frame.

    • Consider wearing safety glasses to protect your eyes from any glass shaken free during the repair.

  3. iPhone 17 Pro Taptic Engine Replacement, Remove the pentalobe screws: stap 3, afbeelding 1 van 2 iPhone 17 Pro Taptic Engine Replacement, Remove the pentalobe screws: stap 3, afbeelding 2 van 2

    • 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.

    • Alternatively, you can tape a coin 3 mm from the tip of the pick.

  5. iPhone 17 Pro Taptic Engine Replacement, Heat the bottom edge: stap 5, afbeelding 1 van 1

    • During the next step, make sure you're inserting your pick in the correct location:

    • There's a plastic bezel on the underside of the screen that sits on the frame. Insert your pick here, making sure it's completely under the bezel.

    • There's a seam between the plastic bezel and the display panel. Don't insert your pick here or you'll separate the two, complicating the repair.

  18. iPhone 17 Pro Taptic Engine Replacement, Prop up the screen: stap 18, afbeelding 1 van 2 iPhone 17 Pro Taptic Engine Replacement, Prop up the screen: stap 18, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • At this point, the screen should be completely detached from the frame. If it feels stuck, go back around the perimeter and separate any remaining adhesive or clips.

    • Lift the screen straight up and swing it over the left edge, propping it up against a sturdy box or stack of books so the cables aren't strained.

    • Alternatively, you can lay the screen down flat over the left side.

    • Work around the fragile grounding clips as you clean the frame. If you bend one out of place, gently bend it back with your fingers or tweezers.

    • Use tweezers or your fingers to remove large pieces of adhesive from the frame perimeter.

    • Use a spudger to scrape the adhesive residue off the frame.

    • If the adhesive feels stubborn, apply some heat using a hair dryer or heat gun and try again.

  51. iPhone 17 Pro Taptic Engine Replacement: stap 51, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Use a lint-free cloth or a coffee filter to wipe in one direction along the perimeter of the frame to clean the adhesive residue.

    • If the residue feels sticky, apply a few drops of isopropyl alcohol to the cloth and wipe again.

    • Take your time doing this. A clean frame allows replacement adhesive to lay evenly, ensuring a better bond.

    • Without peeling any liners, lay the adhesive sheet over the frame to determine its proper orientation.

    • Use features such as the camera cutout and notches along the top and bottom edges to visualize how the adhesive will lay in the frame.

  54. iPhone 17 Pro Taptic Engine Replacement, Apply the replacement adhesive: stap 54, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Grab the tab in the corner of the adhesive sheet and peel the liner to expose a third of the adhesive.

    • The exposed adhesive is very sticky. Don't let it touch anything until you're ready to apply it to the frame.

    • If your adhesive has multiple liners, peel the liner that exposes the side that sticks to the frame.

  55. iPhone 17 Pro Taptic Engine Replacement: stap 55, afbeelding 1 van 2 iPhone 17 Pro Taptic Engine Replacement: stap 55, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • Once the adhesive is pressed into place, you can't reposition it—you'll have to remove it and start over with new adhesive.

    • Carefully align the exposed edge of the adhesive strip with the corresponding edge of the iPhone's frame.

    • When it's correctly aligned, gently press the exposed adhesive strip onto the frame.

  56. iPhone 17 Pro Taptic Engine Replacement: stap 56, afbeelding 1 van 3 iPhone 17 Pro Taptic Engine Replacement: stap 56, afbeelding 2 van 3 iPhone 17 Pro Taptic Engine Replacement: stap 56, afbeelding 3 van 3
    • Continue peeling away the liner from the adhesive, gently pressing the adhesive into place.

    • If you've correctly aligned the adhesive, the edges will fall perfectly into place.

    • If your adhesive is slightly misaligned, gently pull the long edges into alignment with the frame.

    • If the adhesive begins to crease or wrinkle, remove it and start over with fresh adhesive.

    • If you don't have another set of adhesive strips handy, it's okay to temporarily put your iPhone back together and use it normally without any adhesive. Just keep in mind that your iPhone's water resistance will be compromised until you replace the adhesive.

  57. iPhone 17 Pro Taptic Engine Replacement: stap 57, afbeelding 1 van 2 iPhone 17 Pro Taptic Engine Replacement: stap 57, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • Use a spudger to press the adhesive around the entire perimeter of your iPhone.

    • Work around the fragile grounding clips. If you bend one out of place, gently bend it back with your fingers or tweezers.

    • Don't press too hard, or you'll stretch and deform the adhesive.

  58. iPhone 17 Pro Taptic Engine Replacement: stap 58, afbeelding 1 van 3 iPhone 17 Pro Taptic Engine Replacement: stap 58, afbeelding 2 van 3 iPhone 17 Pro Taptic Engine Replacement: stap 58, afbeelding 3 van 3
    • Use the pull tab to peel off the large front liner from the adhesive. The pull tab is often in a corner of the liner.

    • At this point, you'll still have liners covering the perimeter. Don't remove these liners yet—they prevent the adhesive from accidentally sticking while you reassemble your iPhone.

  59. iPhone 17 Pro Taptic Engine Replacement, Connect the screen: stap 59, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Set the iPhone screen next to the frame such that the screen cables can comfortably reach the logic board.

    • Use your finger or the flat end of a spudger to press and connect the two screen connectors onto the logic board.

    • Don't try to force the connector into place. If you're having trouble, reposition it and try again.

  61. iPhone 17 Pro Taptic Engine Replacement, Connect the battery: stap 61, afbeelding 1 van 2 iPhone 17 Pro Taptic Engine Replacement, Connect the battery: stap 61, afbeelding 2 van 2

  62. iPhone 17 Pro Taptic Engine Replacement, Test your repair: stap 62, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • This is a good point to test your repair before sealing up your iPhone. Power on your iPhone and make sure it works as expected. Power it back down and continue reassembly.

    • If your iPhone doesn't turn on, connect it to a power source and try again.

    • With one hand hold the screen steady.

    • Use your fingers or a spudger to peel away all perimeter liners, exposing the adhesive.

    • Make sure nothing touches the exposed adhesive.

    • Check the internals for any stray liners and remove them. There should be no liners remaining.

    • Lower the screen onto the frame, beginning with the top edge.

    • If you feel resistance, a perimeter clip may have bent out of place and is being crushed by the frame. Look at the point of resistance and gently straighten any bent clips.

    • Make sure the screen edge isn't pinching any cables.

    • Press along the edges of the iPhone until the screen sits flush against the frame.
