iPhone 8 LCD and Digitizer Replacement

Wat je nodig hebt

  1. iPhone 8 LCD and Digitizer Replacement, Remove the pentalobe screws: stap 1, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Before you begin, discharge your iPhone battery below 25%. A charged lithium-ion battery can catch fire and/or explode if accidentally punctured.

    • Power off your iPhone before beginning disassembly.

    • Remove the two 3.5 mm pentalobe screws on the bottom edge of the iPhone.

    • Opening the iPhone's display will compromise its waterproof seals. Have replacement seals ready before you proceed past this step, or take care to avoid liquid exposure if you reassemble your iPhone without replacing the seals.

  2. iPhone 8 LCD and Digitizer Replacement, Mark your opening picks: stap 2, afbeelding 1 van 3 iPhone 8 LCD and Digitizer Replacement, Mark your opening picks: stap 2, afbeelding 2 van 3 iPhone 8 LCD and Digitizer Replacement, Mark your opening picks: stap 2, afbeelding 3 van 3
    • 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.

  3. iPhone 8 LCD and Digitizer Replacement, Tape over the display: stap 3, afbeelding 1 van 3 iPhone 8 LCD and Digitizer Replacement, Tape over the display: stap 3, afbeelding 2 van 3 iPhone 8 LCD and Digitizer Replacement, Tape over the display: stap 3, afbeelding 3 van 3
    • 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.

    • This will keep glass shards contained and provide structural integrity when prying and lifting the display.

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

    • 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.

    • 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.

    • 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.

    • 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.

  5. iPhone 8 LCD and Digitizer Replacement: stap 5, afbeelding 1 van 3 iPhone 8 LCD and Digitizer Replacement: stap 5, afbeelding 2 van 3 iPhone 8 LCD and Digitizer Replacement: stap 5, afbeelding 3 van 3
    • Pull the blue handle forwards 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.

  6. iPhone 8 LCD and Digitizer Replacement: stap 6, afbeelding 1 van 2 iPhone 8 LCD and Digitizer Replacement: stap 6, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • Heat an iOpener and thread it through the arms of the Anti-Clamp.

    • You can also use a hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate—but extreme heat can damage the display and/or internal battery, so proceed with care.

    • Fold the iOpener so it lays on the bottom edge of the iPhone.

    • Wait one minute to give the adhesive a chance to release and present an opening gap.

    • Insert an opening pick into the 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 three steps.

  7. iPhone 8 LCD and Digitizer Replacement, Heat the display: stap 7, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • The next three steps show how to separate the screen using a suction cup.

    • Heating the lower edge of the iPhone will help soften the adhesive securing the display, making it easier to open.

    • Use a hairdryer or prepare an iOpener and apply it to the lower edge of the phone for about 90 seconds in order to soften up the adhesive underneath.

  8. iPhone 8 LCD and Digitizer Replacement, Separate the display: stap 8, afbeelding 1 van 2 iPhone 8 LCD and Digitizer Replacement, Separate the display: stap 8, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • Apply a suction cup to the lower half of the front panel, just above the home button.

    • Be sure the suction cup does not overlap with the home button, as this will prevent a seal from forming between the suction cup and front glass.

  9. iPhone 8 LCD and Digitizer Replacement: stap 9, afbeelding 1 van 3 iPhone 8 LCD and Digitizer Replacement: stap 9, afbeelding 2 van 3 iPhone 8 LCD and Digitizer Replacement: stap 9, afbeelding 3 van 3
    • 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.

    • The watertight adhesive holding the screen in place 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 tool.

  10. iPhone 8 LCD and Digitizer Replacement: stap 10, afbeelding 1 van 3 iPhone 8 LCD and Digitizer Replacement: stap 10, afbeelding 2 van 3 iPhone 8 LCD and Digitizer Replacement: stap 10, afbeelding 3 van 3
    • Slide the opening pick up the left edge of the phone starting at the lower edge and moving towards the volume control buttons and silent switch, breaking up the adhesive holding the display in place.

    • Stop near the top left corner of the display.

    • Do not try to pry the top edge of the display away from the rear case, as it is held in place by plastic clips that may break.

  11. iPhone 8 LCD and Digitizer Replacement, Screen information: stap 11, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • There are delicate cables along the right edge of your iPhone. Don't insert your pick here, as you may damage the cables.

  12. iPhone 8 LCD and Digitizer Replacement: stap 12, afbeelding 1 van 3 iPhone 8 LCD and Digitizer Replacement: stap 12, afbeelding 2 van 3 iPhone 8 LCD and Digitizer Replacement: stap 12, afbeelding 3 van 3
    • Re-insert your tool at the lower right corner of the iPhone, and slide it around the corner and up the right side of the phone to separate the adhesive.

    • Don't insert your pick more than 3 mm, as you may damage the display cables.

  13. iPhone 8 LCD and Digitizer Replacement: stap 13, afbeelding 1 van 2 iPhone 8 LCD and Digitizer Replacement: stap 13, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • Gently pull up on the suction cup to lift up the bottom edge of the display.

    • Do not raise the display more than 15º or you'll risk straining or tearing the ribbon cables connecting the display.

    • Pull on the small nub on the suction cup to remove it from the front panel.

  14. iPhone 8 LCD and Digitizer Replacement: stap 14, afbeelding 1 van 3 iPhone 8 LCD and Digitizer Replacement: stap 14, afbeelding 2 van 3 iPhone 8 LCD and Digitizer Replacement: stap 14, afbeelding 3 van 3
    • Slide an opening pick underneath the display around the top left corner and along the top edge of the phone to loosen the last of the adhesive.

  15. iPhone 8 LCD and Digitizer Replacement: stap 15, afbeelding 1 van 2 iPhone 8 LCD and Digitizer Replacement: stap 15, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • Slide the display assembly slightly down (away from the top edge of the phone) to disengage the clips holding it to the rear case.

  16. iPhone 8 LCD and Digitizer Replacement: stap 16, afbeelding 1 van 3 iPhone 8 LCD and Digitizer Replacement: stap 16, afbeelding 2 van 3 iPhone 8 LCD and Digitizer Replacement: stap 16, afbeelding 3 van 3
    • Open the iPhone by swinging the display up from the left side, like the back cover of a book.

    • Don't try to fully separate the display yet, as several fragile ribbon cables still connect it to the iPhone's logic board.

    • Lean the display against something to keep it propped up while you're working on the phone.

  17. iPhone 8 LCD and Digitizer Replacement, Disconnect the battery: stap 17, afbeelding 1 van 2 iPhone 8 LCD and Digitizer Replacement, Disconnect the battery: stap 17, afbeelding 2 van 2

    • Remove four Phillips screws securing the lower display cable bracket to the logic board, of the following lengths:

    • Two 1.3 mm screws

    • Two 2.8 mm screws

    • Throughout this guide, keep careful track of your screws so that each one goes back where it came from during reassembly. Installing a screw in the wrong place can cause permanent damage.

    • Remove the bracket.

  18. iPhone 8 LCD and Digitizer Replacement: stap 18, afbeelding 1 van 2 iPhone 8 LCD and Digitizer Replacement: stap 18, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • Use the point of a spudger to pry the battery connector out of its socket in the logic board.

    • Bend the battery connector cable slightly away from the logic board to prevent it from accidentally making contact with the socket and providing power to the phone during your repair.

    • Use an opening tool to pry under the left edge of the home button cable connector to disconnect it from its socket.

    • If the entire connector begins to flip up without separating, press down on the cable at the top edge of the connector with the flat end of your spudger, while simultaneously prying up the left edge of the connector. Be very careful not to damage the cable or connector, or you will permanently disable the sensor.

  26. iPhone 8 LCD and Digitizer Replacement, Remove the Touch ID sensor: stap 26, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Heating the area around the home/Touch ID sensor will help soften the adhesive holding its delicate cable in place, making it easier to remove safely.

    • Flip the display assembly over. Use a hairdryer or prepare an iOpener and apply it to the lower edge of the display for about 90 seconds in order to soften up the adhesive underneath.

    • Don't overheat the display. It should be slightly too hot to touch comfortably.

So I’m pretty sure I know the answer to this - but can I test out the screen replacement without hooking up the camera, home button, etc? Can I just attach the three cables to the phone to make sure the screen works, or would it brick the phone?

Sarah Ybarra - Antwoord

Hi Sarah,

You can test the display without bricking your phone. It may boot-loop when the front sensor/camera assembly isn’t connected though. Be careful while you work with an opened phone with the battery connected…it is easy to accidentally short things out!

Arthur Shi -

After replacing the iPhone 8 LCD Screen and Digitizer, it seems that the battery is draining faster. I just wanted to see if this is a normal problem or was there something I missed during the install process?

Do you have to remove the plastic holder for the camera?
